Another Double Rainbow, 111, and A Great Play

I have shared recently how often I am seeing 111, double rainbows, and finding coins. It is so often that I feel silly mentioning it so much, but it is what it is. 

This week, I found three coins but have to share that during our Sunday lesson in the women meeting at church, the teacher mentioned that her extended family finds dimes all the time and it reminds them of their mother, and they often find them during times of stress. They also keep them in a jar as I do. I thought that was so interesting. Then I get home and Princess Four spoke at her church on Sunday and sent us a recording of her talk. During her talk, she talked about finding a dime with a few friends and explained to them that it has God's name on it and shouldn't be on the ground and she also has a jar she keeps her "found money" in. 

I have seen 111 so much as well. Tonight, I went to a play, and wanted to catch a few Pokemon at the venue where I attended the play as it was full of them. I was spinning to get a few more balls before leaving, and as I was leaving, it was midnight, and the first and last catch as I pulled out was this! A 111 rated Pokemon. 

I saw a double rainbow last night again and it started on one side of the sky, and a long time later, the other end showed up and the beginning side was gone. It is crazy to me how many double rainbows that have shown in the past many months. 

I loved being able to go to a play today and see a few friends on stage. I enjoyed supporting them and seeing them use their talents. I feel blessed to live in a country, state, and town with such talented people and the freedom to mingle and share talents! 

Have a blessed day!

In God We Trust, 111, And Doing Todays Work Today

I shared how tired I was last night in my blog post for today. I saw a quote today on Facebook that I really felt went with how I have been feeling. I took a photo and it is at the top of the page. I really just need to do what I can do today as I am constantly feeling guilty I am not getting more done each day. 

I got calls early today from the Neurologist office about my reaction to the shot I gave myself last week for a migraine. 

I told the office it wasn't an emergency, but just wanted the Dr. to know that I had a reaction and wouldn't be taking anymore shots. I got a call after falling back to sleep from a Dr. wanting to know how my reaction was. I told her what happened and how I reacted and that I wouldn't be taking those shots anymore. I mentioned it wasn't an emergency and that I just wanted the Dr. to know the shots didn't work as our appointment was a month out and I didn't know if he wanted me to try a different medication before our next appointment. 

I fell back asleep and got a third call from the Dr. covering and she said that she had spoken to my Dr. and he said that they needed to report the reaction and that I shouldn't take any more shots and that they would notify my insurance that I had tried two tiers of medication that were unsuccessful for my migraines and they would hopefully now cover the medication that did work but isn't usually covered under most insurance plans until all other medication has been tried. I asked if there was a way I could donate the rest of the shots to somewhere so they could give it to someone who may need it that didn't have the funds to purchase it and she told me that they can't take it and the pharmacy can take it and dispose of it but can't do anything with it so I should just throw it out. I understand the reasoning, but it is such a waste of money.

I am SO very grateful for God's hand in my life. I wouldn't have even known to ask to see a neurologist if I hadn't gone to a radiologist in another city just to ask what they schedule was like that day to see if I could get my cat-scan of my lungs done there. I had a migraine and was talking to the receptionist when a nurse came to the desk and over heard me talking and mentioned that she also had one and I asked her if she had tried Nurtec for her headaches and told her that I had tried Nurtec and that it had taken the bulk of the headache away, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. 

She then reported that her insurance told her the same thing and that she had to go see a neurologist to get him to say that she needed that as the other medications hadn't worked. So, I am grateful that someone nudged her to come into the conversation so that I would know to ask my Dr. to give me a referral to the neurologist. 

The Dr.'s all mentioned the anti nausea medications and I now have several to try next migraine, but that doesn't help with the splitting head which causes the nausea, so I hope that the insurance will cover the Nurtec so I can stop having so many non-functioning days. 

There has been rain almost daily for a week at some point in the day, which is so wonderful as we need the rain, but it hasn't been the best for my head. 

On a wonderful note, I went to the store yesterday and there was a penny in the self-checkout I went to out of  the five there and I happened on my turn to get that checkout. Then, I got a statement for one of my retirement plans and it showed a $111,000 for the quarter on the statement and I just smiled as God is in the details of my life. 

My friend Matt sent a thoughtful gift and the routing number had a 111 in it. We were on a call and our call disconnected at 11:11 on its own, and on and on. I saw rainbows many times in the past few days, heard it said several times on shows, and am still seeing the 111 everywhere. 

I am not sure why it is so prevalent in my world right now, but I am grateful to have those reminders in my life. Here is a link to the 111 posts. Here is a link to the first rainbow post, and here is a link to the first "In God We Trust" post. 

I feel very blessed and I hope you are as well!

Two Double Rainbows In A Week and It Continues

Just as I have been seeing 111 that I posted about yesterday, the last month I have seen so many rainbows! 

I saw something I have never seen before. It was a double rainbow that lasted about 45 minutes! I was visiting Princess One, and we were headed to a play, and it started before we left the house and continued while we drove to the play, and then for a good half hour after we sat in the rain at the play. 

It was SO beautiful, and framed her home and then at the theater, it framed the stage! 

A few days later as we were headed out to do some fireworks, once again, there was a double rainbow in the exact same spot! I asked Princess One if that was a regular occurrence and she said in the over 8 years they have lived there, she has seen maybe one other! 

I wanted to get some good photos of the family sitting to watch the fireworks they purchased, and as I was taking photos of her, she told me that the rainbow was coming down right over my head. I opened my mouth and everyone was laughing as I "swallowed" the rainbow! 

I got a few good photos, but the color was really dark on my camera. I should have used my actual camera to take some as there were THREE rainbows at one point. The two and attached to the lower rainbow was a third rainbow and the photos just didn't capture the colors. I wish I had used my camera instead of my phone.

I have seen several other rainbows and this morning my friend Matt sent me a text with a photo of a rainbow telling me he saw it today and thought of me. 

I was shopping at a thrift store and saw a rainbow on the back of a book. The book was about leprechauns and had a rainbow on the back cover! 

As I was writing this post, I was watching a Netflix show on fishing called "Battlefish" and just as I was starting my post, I was transferring the photos and labeling them "rain" to save them, the men on the show said, "A rainbow" and then joked about the tuna being at the end of the rainbow etc for a few minutes. It was weird I was watching it as I had watched it before, and there are so many things I haven't watched I wasn't sure why it showed up on the suggestions to watch, but since I just listen most of the time I just let it play. It was interesting that I was watching it for a second time just as I was posting about rainbows. 

 It is so interesting to me how at certain times in my life, the different things come up. Sometimes, it is all 111's, and other times it is certain songs, but lately, I have had lots of everything going on.  A few weeks back it was about finding coins! In fact as we went into the play seeing the first double rainbow, as we went to sit down, there was a penny just under our chairs. Grand Princess Found a coin another day while I was visiting as well! 

It seems like my mother, God, and the Cosmos is trying to let me know things are "OK" as they are all going on at once! 

I am grateful to have reminders to Trust in God, and reminders that my mother loves me as the rainbow is a reminder of her as she sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to us each night! The 111's have just always showed up as I needed reminders. I have links above to each of my first posts about these things to help explain them more. 

I almost forgot. As I was scrolling through Facebook tonight, one of my extended family members posted a complete double rainbow on their feed. I looked to see if it was maybe one of the ones I saw as that isn't such a common thing except this year for some reason. Hers was new and not the same city. So, in the past month or so, I have seen three double rainbows myself. One in my town and two in Princess One's town. Here is the link to the one in my town just a few weeks back. 

As I was looking at my YouTube Channel tonight, I laughed when I looked at my income for ads as it was $191.11. Once again, a 111!

I am blessed!

Double Rainbow Day with a "Shiny" Bonus

I was running errands yesterday and had a text asking if I wanted to do a Pokemon Raid for a Mewtwo which is a powerful Pokemon. It was at a gym that I didn't know existed in our town at a hotel near an exit. 

My dear friend and her husband showed up to play as well. When I pulled up next to them in the car, I rolled down my window and asked them if they know how the algorithms work for getting "Shiny" Pokemon as I hadn't gotten one in a long time. 

We played the game and we each got a different powered Mewtwo to "capture" at the end of the raid. I was giddy with joy when I saw that the one I got was a "Shiny" mewtwo! It isn't common for the Mewtwo to be in the gyms, and to get a shiny one is rarer still. 

Not that Shiny ones are all that powerful as they are rarely powerful, but they are just rare so many people just collect "Shiny" Pokemon. 

After leaving there, I went to a park as I needed to spin some stops to get more poke balls. I wasn't there long before I look over and see a rainbow! I thought, my mother was saying "hello" and then a second rainbow showed up! I tried to get a good picture but the second one didn't photograph well. I finished up there and start to head home and there is a rainbow in my front yard. I stop and take a photo. I then park in my driveway and get out of my car and the rainbow connects and my home is directly under the arch of the rainbow! 

I told you recently how many 111's I have been seeing, but I have been seeing rainbows as well. Here is a link to my original 111 post. I really just feel like my mother is letting me know that things will be fine as I have been super frustrated with my health situation and how I can't seem to get the information I need from the medical community and specialists who should know "everything" about the part of the body for which they specialize, but they don't know things that should be known. 

I will be making an update video this week on my health situations and what has been going on. I really feel that my mother and God are letting me know that in the end, it will all be "OK." 

It was lovely that my home was at the end of the rainbow at one point and then directly under the rainbow in the end. It was such a lovely thing as rainbows are such a reminder of my mother. Here is a link to my original post about that.

Have a blessed day! 

Flowers From Heaven - Rainbows and All

Sorry this post is late, I have had a horrible time with Blogger and my internet today. 

I have been looking for some roses for a long time to fill in the spots in my yard where over the years flowers have died. I figured I could post online and maybe dig up someones who is wanting them gone or I figured I would wait and get them on clearance. 

I also have a bush and a small tree that have slowly been dying over the past few years. I checked prices on them and they were so expensive to purchase that I waited. 

The day after the ice storm in town, I went to a local hardware store for a shelving unit, and I thought I would go out into the garden area to see if they had any plants left. There was a worker uncovering some roses and putting them in a large container. I asked what he was doing and he said he was taking the roses to the dumpster as they had been written off by the company. 

I asked if I could buy them at a discount, so the worker called the manager. He said I could purchase the roses at $5 each. The rest of the plants were half off so I picked out a few sets of plants to landscape my front beds and went to check out. 

When checking out, the plants weren't ringing in at $5, so the worker scanned them and they went in as half off. He first took off $5 and when he finished the total of them all, it was 111! I just knew at that point it was a blessing. When trying to figure the discount out, he just rounded up and took $65 total. He was really great and I got a trolley full of plants for around $50. 

They filled up the entire back of my car and when I got home, I put them into my garage. I gave a laugh when I put down the last plant and one of the flowers on the bush fell off and I picked it up and noticed the name of the bush. The name of two of the bushes I purchased are "Rainbow Sensation!" I just hurried and picked two sets of matching plants that I liked as there were tarps over the plants. 

I felt like my mother was smiling down on me as she LOVED gardens and flowers. I am not the type to remember many plant names and I haven't landscaped much as it was landscaped when I purchased the house. 

I really should have looked up plants and designed what I want where, but I feel like my mother was helping me to be able to get plants I can afford and still that are beautiful without all the work. I hope it warms up a bit more so I can plant them as it has been cold. 

I take them out during the day and put them in the garage at night. I haven't pruned yet but really hope it warms up enough that I can get that done as well. I feel blessed to get plants for cheap. 

Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday Mom - Thanks For the Free Meals

It was my mothers birthday recently. I talked to my sister that lives nearby and asked if she would like to go to the temple for our area for our church on our mothers birthday to honor her. She passed away years ago, but I thought it may be a nice way to pay tribute. 

Since COVID, our temples had been closed, and recently opened up so we could start going again. We schedule the day with three of the other women we used to attend with weekly before COVID happened. 

We attended the temple, and then went to a place for lunch. When we got to the front to order our meals, the man behind the counter said that the man in front of us paid for all our meals. 

I went to the man and his two sons to thank him for doing that and he said, "Someone must love you to give me that feeling to do that for you!"

I knew exactly who loved me on the other side that gave him that thought! I was able to get a gluten free dessert at that place as well which isn't a common thing in small towns, so I enjoyed that. We stopped at a place to get something and when we went in, the cashier had my mothers last name! 

My mother went by her maiden name for many years of her life as she was somewhat famous, so to see a woman in this small town with her name, my sister and I knew my mother was letting us know she was around and aware of us. This woman that was cashiering was from the mid-west. That last name is not a common name in our area. We took a photo of our group at lunch, and then one with the cashier with my mothers name.

I came home and ran an errand and saw a rainbow. If you read my blog, you will know my mother sang us "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" each night and when I see a rainbow I am reminded of her. My sister got home and he grand-daughter was wearing a rainbow shirt pointing towards heaven so my sister sent me a picture. I then got to go to Bunko and had another wonderful free meal, and I ended up winning a prize with a popcorn treat that I could enjoy.  

I feel like my mother was with me the entire day letting me know she is around. There was another event I don't feel comfortable sharing, but it let me know my mother is still aware and looking after me. 

Have a blessed day!

Still Exhausted and Fell Asleep In the Car - In God We Trust Moment

I have been so tired. I hauled all the boxes in from the car and trailer. They have been in my house for days. I was working on so many projects, but I keep seeing rainbows on everything and everywhere. 

I forgot to share when I arrived home from the reunion, I got out of the car and walked towards the garage and there was a corner of a $20 bill and guess what was on the corner? It had a 111 on it! 

I have no idea where a corner of a $20 would come from as I never use cash, but I felt like someone was trying to take care of me and remind me to "Trust in God! I have fallen asleep the last three nights while blogging. I hope I can get back to blogging and catch up with all the crazy events but I can't seem to catch up on my sleep. 

Have a blessed day!

Finding Collectables At Thrift Store To Sell For Profit - Gratitude Moments!!

I have been manifesting what I need and want for many years now. It is the reason for my blog and YouTube channel names. I have gratitude frames where I place things that I am grateful for or feel are blessings. I made a video today where I share things that I felt blessed to find at a thrift store today that I can sell to earn some money for new tires for my new / old car. 

I also see rainbows when I am a bit stressed and that reminds me of my mother. I have blogged about this for years, here is a link to the first post about this. 

I found a record with a rainbow on it made into a bowl today. You can find many posts about this on my blog. I also share in this video about my finding coins when stressed about money and I am reminded to "TRUST IN GOD" and here is my first blog post about that linked HERE. You can search for more of these posts on my blog.

I also mention seeing 111's in my life and here is a link to the original blog post about that as well. You can find all the posts about this on my blog as they always happen when I have lots going on and am a bit stressed. 

God is always so good to provide me with the things I want and need. All my family and friends say, "If you ever need anything, tell her as she always finds anything she is looking for." I am always asking people to tell me what they are looking for as when you say something out loud, it creates and starts that process in motion. 

Just like the book "The Secret" shares, you can manifest what you need by just focusing on it. I have been so blessed in my life to continually get the things I want and need. My life is so blessed as these type of things happen all the time. I hope you are as blessed! 

Have a blessed day!

Double Rainbow Viewing

I shared a few days back about two people in my neighborhood passing away. 

One of the viewings was today. I was able to visit with the children of the man who passed away. 

It was so nice to be able to catch up with each of the kids and see where they are currently. When they moved to our area, the oldest daughter was around 13 and my eldest was a year ahead of her in school.Their mother married a man in our neighborhood and knowing that they would be moving here from the midwest, I asked if they would like my daughter to write to their eldest daughter and welcome her into the town. 

Princess One wrote her and welcomed her into town and introduced her to people in her grade and included her in the group activities they would do. 

The oldest son that moved in married into another local family and friends of mine so I have been able to keep tabs on him.

I was able to see the second son who I haven't seen in a few years, but I visited with him a lot over a few weeks while helping his mom at the time. I got the best hug from him when I saw him tonight. 

When I left, there was a double rainbow over the wife's car. I got a picture of two of the kids under the rainbow. I felt like my mother was there sharing a rainbow from her and a rainbow from him. 

Have a blessed day!

National Slow Looking Day At Museums - It Was A Great Day With Princess Two

I had to take a road trip through Princess Two's hometown this week. I called and asked if I could spend either the morning, or the evening with her. 

She said she had plans in the afternoon and may have plans in the evening, so I asked if I could take her to breakfast or lunch on my way through. I offered to go shopping for an hour or two as well as anything else she wanted to do. She sent me a link to an article about a national "slow look" museum day! 

I LOVE art and often stand in front of a painting studying the symbolism, strokes, painters mindset, and all the little details of the art. Here is a link to me visiting the Norman Rockwell exhibit. I have enjoyed the Carl Bloch exhibits they have had over the years there as well. 

I went to look at that link above and laughed when I saw that we had almost the exact photos and that when I got into the car to head on my road-trip, the odometer in the car was at 111.1 and didn't remember that it was the same when I drove up to the Normal Rockwell exhibit. There were so many similarities on this trip! What are the chances of that? Also we had the rainbow above us made out of string and it made me feel like my mother was with us as she LOVED Art, there was one painting in particular I know she would have loved. Also, I was able to visit her grave on this trip and was able to put some flowers on her grave, so I did feel her with me much of the day!

We loved the visit to the museum and since it was "Slow Looking Museum Day" they gave you a gift at the end of the day. We got a print of one of my favorite paintings ever! It is by Carl Bloch and is Christ Healing at the waters of Bethesda! I love that it shows Christ going to the absolute most pitiful person who is unable to do anything to help himself and Christ was not overlooking the least. Princess Two picked a card of another amazing print they had of an artwork there. They also gave out mini magnifying glasses.

I think the grandchildren are going to love the mini magnifying glass as I have a few "I-Spy" and "Wheres Waldo" books they can use it with! 

We then went to one of our favorite Thai food places for lunch. We visited as we haven't in a very long time. I haven't traveled much at all during Covid and have missed connecting with my girls. It was such a lovely day! I got a fortune that said, "A day without a smile is a day wasted." I believe that! 

I am forever laughing at myself as I do silly things at home and find things that others don't funny. Last week, we were playing a game around the campfire and my nephews wife was so funny in her hints to him and was overly obvious and I just started laughing until I was crying and no one else thought it was funny. I laughed and laughed and went into my trailer and kept laughing for a few more minutes by myself. I love to laugh and smile! 

I wish I had more time to spend with Princess Two, but feel that we used our time together well! I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful person in my family! She is a one of a kind person! I would have a huge hole in my life if she weren't in it! 

I hope you are so blessed to have someone in your life that brings God's light into it!! She really is a light to the world and I am grateful I can call her mine! 

Have a Blessed Day!

Another Long Day But Feeling Blessed

I woke early and filled my car with boxes of food and distributed them. I left and didn't get back home for about 7 hours and then left again and then back home exhausted. 

I wanted to go to bed early, but as usual, I get busy doing things and don't get to bed early. I love that I get to help others by distributing food from various sources. Today the boxes were heavy and my back was a bit sore, but it was great having a car to take the boxes around and having people show gratitude for my taking time to do that. 

I went to a second hand store and found a few games and puzzles that I think my grand-kids would like and while opening one to make sure the pieces were there, there were a ton of pennies in the box with the game. I asked the manager about it and he said if I found them, they were mine. I just love when I find money as it always reminds me to trust in God. Here is a link to the first post on that. 

I also have a good friend moving. I am so sad she is leaving but she is headed to be near her kids and grandchild. She is cleaning out her house as it sold in a weekend. She has shared some things with me that her children didn't want and she gave me a Dyson Vacuum. I had no idea how expensive those are until I was at Home Depot today. They are $300 to $600 so that was very generous of her. 

I feel very blessed today being able to help others and having others bless me, and then having a reminder to trust God in so many ways. All the pennies in the photo but 2 were in that box of the game. Hopefully, it is telling me that lots of changes are coming soon! ;-) 

As I am typing this, I am listening to the latest American Idol songs as I usually have something playing in the background. I have had the entire hour and 12 minutes playing and am just about finished writing this post and the last song on the show was sung by Deshawn, a 19 year old contestant and guess what he is singing? Yes, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow!" I just thought that was funny as I was writing about "Changes, trusting in God, and being blessed". Here is a link to what that song means to me. It is a reminder that my mother is watching over me.  

Have a blessed day!
