Beloved,

The lake is still frozen but thawing on the edges. Two Canadian geese showed up squawking to beat the band. They stayed only five minutes and just flew away. I got the sense they were saying: “We are back, here we are!” All the melting snow is flowing down my driveway going towards the lake and flooding my sidewalk on its way. I keep thinking about California and so wish I could send them the extra water that I have here. It has been a week of ups and downs. Challenges, struggles and some awesome changes happening that were not expected. This winter with its Winds of Change has made me do a lot of thinking about my own life.

I have a knee that is bone on bone and quite painful to walk very far. Because of my chemical sensitivities, arthritis and bone condition, several doctors have said I am not a good candidate for a knee replacement. I have tried two hinged braces, one pull and one push but they caused severe back pain. Soooo, I have been restricted more than I would like so I have decided to take matters into my own hands. I started looking into scooters because I am not ready for a wheelchair yet. In fact, I think all of this is only temporary because I “know” and “feel” that some solution will show up if I am just patient hold the vision of mobility in my mind and heart. I am on Medicare which I thought would cover the cost of the scooter. I found out after many calls to many places that Medicare only covers the mobility chair for use inside the home. So, I finally surrendered in my mind and started searching for cheaper priced scooters.

I was grocery shopping this week when I came across a woman in a scooter. I stopped to talk to her because I believe word of mouth or good advice come from other people. She had gotten hers at Walgreens about 5 years ago and she was able to explain a lot to me. As we were going to part, I realized that she was dressed all in purple. What a coincidence, a purple lady talking to a purple lady. It made me smile. I came home and did research on the computer and talked to someone at Walgreens. The young lady did not seem to know too much about the scooters as they are available only on line. She passed me on to the manager who coincidentally had been asked by his father that day to check into the scooters for him. Coincidence? He is checking into getting a wheeled platform to hook onto the car which is something I had been searching for. Another unexpected contact who will assist me in this quest.

The following day, a black spider the size of a quarter was ambling down my hallway. Spiders were my greatest fear years ago, but I used spiders as the first fear I needed to conquer which I did. I shut my bedroom door but I allowed him/her to just be. In fact, they are a symbol of abundance, prosperity and money so I mentally thanked it for showing up and seeing its size, I thanked it for the large amount of money it would bring me. I went to my Pitch League banquet later and was surprised with a money prize for winning the most games in our season. It was a whopping $294 which I had never expected but now would help pay for the scooter.

This morning, as I was doing my morning meditation and prayers, a woodpecker began drumming on my house. I acknowledge him/her and after 5 times of being interrupted, I thanked the woodpecker and said I got the message. Afterwards, I checked in the Animal-Speak book by Ted Andrews for the meaning of the woodpecker. Its keynote: The Power of Rhythm and Discrimination. It reflects stimulation and wakening of new mental faculties Rhythm is a powerful means of affecting the physical energies. (I have a drum; maybe it is time to start drumming again). It will become increasingly important for you to follow your own unique rhythms and flight. When woodpecker comes into your life, it indicates that the foundation is there. It is now safe to follow your own rhythms. Wow!!! This message is for you also.

As I was preparing to begin this newsletter, I received a call. It was from a branch of Lincare, the only supplier of scooters and motorized chairs covered by Medicare. Her name was Penny and you know what pennies mean don’t you. When you find a penny on the ground, pick it up. It is a message from the angels and the pennies carry the reminder of: “In God We Trust!” She said she had left me 3 messages which I did not receive but I had been trying to find someone who could help me navigate the route to Medicare. I thanked her for being persistent because I had no idea that help was trying to find me. They have to set up appointments with your doctors who have to fill out certain forms. We had a 3way call to set up the apt and then she will fax them all the paperwork. I guess my new path has been opened for me. All I have to do is follow the breadcrumbs trail that is being laid out for me. Imagine all of these synchronicities happening in such a short time. I am open to receive all that is being done to help me. I am kind of chuckling because it is when I finally surrendered my need to be doing, my sense of having to solve a concern, that I allowed myself to accept the messages that coming to me. Remember to be aware and grateful for the little voice of guidance no matter what form it takes… a penny, a spider or a woodpecker.
