I've always loved ladybugs, but even more so since my Mom's passing several years ago. These friendly visitors have an uncanny way of making an appearance just when I need it most.
This morning I was nudged to send my uncle a copy of my book Spiritual Lessons from Nature. I wasn't so sure Mom hadn't given me the idea. I scribbled a note to him regarding my favorite story in the book, Ladybugs on Parade, about Mom.
With the book mailed, I noticed the front yard was in need of weeding. Trumpet vines had overtaken the bushes from the recent rains.
With the weeding complete, I got rearranged the potted flowers to add color to the front yard I had moved a large pot of burgundy mums when I discovered a ladybug on my wrist!
Her cheerful presence evoked a tearful, Awww, Mom. It had been a long time since I last saw a ladybug.
And to my delight, she immediately flew to my other hand, and landed on the tip of my finger. I watched her in wonder, this tiny messenger of love.
Having completed her mission, she quickly flit her colorful red wings and departed on a new adventure. Mission accomplished.

My heart was so thankful for the ladybug visitor. It was just the angel message I needed today! Our departed loved ones remain very much a part of our journey by bringing joyful touches of love.
By the way, in Nature-Speak, I learned that Chrysanthemum represents opening the heart, healing and vitality growing. How perfect is that?
Enjoy your day with the Angels.
Love and joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
