My guides (or whatever these forces behind the veil are) not only send me signs for guidance. Sometimes, I also get little gifts.
On our wedding anniversary in August 2022, my husband and I went grocery shopping.
As we checked out and had already passed the cashier, I looked down and saw a few white blossoms lying on the floor.
I thought, Oh, how nice! This looks like a gift for our wedding anniversary. And I picked it and put it in into a bowl of water at home.
I guess this is a dahlia. So, I looked up “white dahlia symbolism” and found that they represent purity, innocence, and rebirth and are often used in wedding bouquets. Very appropriate for our wedding anniversary.
I really enjoy the interaction with the universe. Signs for guidance, signs of comfort, little gifts for special occasions – I just need to pay attention. And when I find something, then that little girl inside of me jumps up and down and claps her hands with excitement.
