Now This Is A Sign!, (from my Little Nis') Options

[Furkidlets' Mom]

My grief has been simply terrible of late and with still fretting over the lack of signs from my gal, and both Sabin's and Nissa's birthday coming up on the 20th (and woulda been both of their 20th years), followed rapidly by the fifth month of Nissa's departure on the 23rd of this month as well.....my heart has been even more broken than ever before.

BUT....yesterday was a day of sudden 'reprieves'.....unbelievable, yet totally believable as well! While I've been avoiding music as much as possible since Nissa's been gone, my H happened to have our computer playing some in late afternoon. Since I was about to leave the room anyway, I didn't ask him to turn it off for my sake. But before I left, I asked my H to join me in asking Nissa to send me a message because of where I was going later on (see below), and he agreed to do so. Before I knew it, the song "The Year of the Cat" came on.....and THEN I ran for the stairs to get away. Yet, when I got upstairs, my inner voice told me to turn on my radio up there.....just in case there was a message to be had from my girl (considering the song I'd just run away from). So I did, and was tuning it away from the talk show that was on when I heard this snippet from this other talk show....about spiritual stuff....and the value of getting quiet in order to find God more easily. No sooner than they'd started yakking about this concept, the guest speaker mentioned that, related to this aspect, he'd done some reading about someone else's ideas about this....a certain someone named....Greg of Nissa!!!!!!! Now I don't know who in the heck this Greg guy is, and frankly, I doubt it matters a whit.....but his NAME, which I clearly heard (even if it's spelled differently, that's how it sounded).....well, come ON!....not only the Nissa part, but the entire t*itle is only ONE letter short of one of our humourous variations on Nissa's name.....Nissa The Grey!!! ....or Grey of Nissa!! Well!.....how much more obscure can you get?!?!? I NEVER hear her name.....anywhere! And yet here it was, right in front of me, right after I'd listened to my inner voice. Not only that, but I've been intuiting of late that, in order to make contact with her, I felt I would have to return to practising getting quiet....the very topic that had preceded this.

And the messages didn't stop there, either. I'd gone upstairs for the express purpose of getting ready to attend my first service ever at a Spiritualist church in the city. It was to be a "Messages Only" service, the first since the holidays, and I asked my girl to BE there with me and to try and come through again. Well, not knowing what to expect really, I was first struck by the harpist/soloist's choice of songs for the evening, which was about a couple taking pleasure in the small joys of life...and the woman having their CAT on her lap as they all relaxed together. Then, out of a group of about 30-odd people...I got a reading! Not only was it bang-on about my cir%%stances and how I've been feeling...but mention was made of a major loss, the inner strength I really do have inside, AND that my loved ones are busy sending me strength all the time!! There was more, all accurate, but this, to me, was the highlight. MY GIRL WAS THERE.....4 times in one day, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Oh, my Galski.....thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!!!!! You ARE here for me, just as you promised you'd be....always!!!! I LOOOOOOVE you, my Cuddle-Button!!!! Please help me to reach those states of quietude....so that I can FEEL you, know that I'm WITH you and you're with ME, as always, and that this will NEVER, EVER change! My girl, my Love-Dove, my Nissa The Grey of the Clan McGrey....you are a wonder among wonders and Mommy will try even harder now...now that you've given me HOPE, and your big, pink, fuzzy love...ever mine....I love you, my Niski-Pie!!!

HOLY SMOKES, Debbie!!! Or should that be Holy CLOUDS?!?! I'm awestruck by all this!!...not just the sign, but everything else you said, too. Okay, the mental picture that came right to mind as soon as you said "simplicity" (before I'd even finished reading the whole story) was that of THE BEST condolence card I got from one friend..the only one I got dedicated to the loss of a cat, and that she'd been immediately drawn to in the store, so KNEW it was the most perfect card for me. It's of a cat silhouette made up of nothing but stars...and looks, I swear, JUST like Nissa's silhouette! (NOT easy, as we've seldom found any cats who have the same features and body type as her) I thought it was SOOO perfect, and felt it was a sign from her, and that she led my friend to that card totally on purpose. I feel the same way about what you saw! Not only is simplicity of line and form my bent, but that's how my kids struck me, too, in their form, and while I wouldn't say they could be considered tall, since they were pretty small cats, they were certainly both slim, and perfectly proportioned to boot! Some of my fav*ourite pics of Nissa are ones that look more like just outlines in the sun. So this certainly SOUNDS like her!! AND me!! Maybe that pic will even refuse to cooperate and get posted, as perhaps the message is clear enough even w/o it?? (but I look forward to it nonetheless!) This is just.....oh, I usually hate this overused word, but I think it fits here.....AWESOME!! I can't thank you enough for acting on your intuition, on my behalf yet!! I'm SOOO grateful, to both you and Nissa!! WAY TO GO, GALS!! I hope she keeps 'using' you as a wonderful channel, as you seem to be a really open conduit for this stuff!!

And thanks, too, for explaining how that visual ADC went. That helps. And I'm thrilled for you to have gotten such a 6th sense of what was happening and acting on it as we're 'supposed' to. I know we ought to be thankful for whatever we get, but I don't even think that being greedy for such things is a bad thing, either. Perhaps this greed/yearning is a necessary step in our evolution to expand our senses in the physical world, and w/o it, we wouldn't push ourselves to go further, in belief, faith, hope and general advancement in the spiritual and universal laws.

I had to laugh....I mean REALLY laugh...at your question about any possibility of having come from a spiritual family. Ok, laughing AGAIN! Sorry! The answer is: oh, gawd, emphatically, NOOOO!!! LOL! My family was/is so far from this, it isn't funny! (there was much evil, dysfunction and denial in my family) They're the reason WHY I went in the totally opposite direction! LOL! I can't tell you how satisfying it is whenever I hear from someone that I seem so spiritually-inclined! It makes all those gruelling years of 'rebellion' and soul-searching feel much more worth it! AND, it gives me more hope, at that "luck" you mentioned. I suddenly feel like breaking out into a rousing chorus of "I Did It MYYYYYY Way!" LOL! So thank you muchly for thinking of me as "earthy" and "spiritual"! It means more than you could know!

I did have a brief dream of Nissa this morning, although it was only of feeding her a small plate of canned food, so I'm not sure what that means...unless it's a metaphor for feeding her/us (?) more spiritual food, to aid in that connection between planes? However, I DID suggest to her last night that if she wanted to get thru to me in my dreams, the early morning hours were the best, seeing as those were always the ones I normally remembered best, and I've been having such a blankety-blank stretch of dream amnesia lately. So maybe she heard me and complied. I get the sense that it's something in ME though that's holding up the works, rather than any lack in her. I have even searched clouds for signs, but nothing's ever shown up and I know it has to be more spontaneous than purposeful looking, for it to 'work'.

I guess it would be a good idea to get out more in nature, though. I normally love doing that and have tried taking a few walks, but get so sad thinking about being able to do tons of these kinds of things now, that I end up just wanting to get home again. Oh, grief is a hard task-mistress, but one who probably knows what's best for us.

Oh, and I wonder if all those other animals you saw (gad...what a fabulous EYEFULL you got!!) are connected to anyone ELSE here? Maybe that rabbit was Ken's Sir Frances? Also, thanks for setting me straight on how Denis's name is pronounced...now I can read your posts w/o feeling like I'm dishonouring his name!

If it works this time, here's an example of these more simplistic pics of my gal:
