Last summer (2019), I went for a hike up Elmore Mountain with a woman who connected with me about my book. We had gone to high school together and she was a year or two ahead of me in school. She loved my book and loved to hike so we planned a hike. 

 

It was a beautiful day in Vermont. Everything was green and the temperature was perfect for a hike. We chatted along the way and I enjoyed the time spent talking about what it is like to be an empath. An unusual thing happened during this hike. It seemed that everywhere I looked, there was a rock shaped like a heart… I took a few pictures but then stopped. Heart shaped rocks seemed to be everywhere I looked!

 

I didn’t think much about it until….

 

I messaged one of my husband’s cousins, Molly. She had shared a dime story with me a week before my hike. It went something like this:

 

“I got your book a few weeks ago. Something interesting happened on the first day I got your book! I brought it in my car to the hospital where my husband was about to have surgery. I grabbed the book, stepped out of the car and, I kid you not, there was a dime on the ground. I thought that was kind of cool. Then I was about to get on the elevator, but it was so full, I decided to take the stairs. I couldn’t believe it when I saw another dime- on the stairs! Then, after my husband’s surgery, I was getting back into my car…and~ you guessed it! Another DIME! It was a THREE DIME DAY!   I actually didn’t get to read much of your book that day, but I thought how coincidental it was that I find these dimes today! I had a feeling my husband was going to be ok for his surgery.”

 

So, I kept hearing a voice from within telling me to send her a message. So, I sent this message:

 

“Good Morning! So, when you were sharing your dime story, your Father kept popping up in my mind. All I kept hearing from him was, “It’s going to be ok” every time you talked about being in the hospital and another dime.  I have no idea how this all works, but I felt the need to share this with you! Luv ya! And hope everything goes ok today!”

 

And she responds….

 

“Thanks Monica. There is so much of your book that rings true for me. My father sends me heart shaped rocks. We never talked about them as far as I can remember but I just know they are from him. He was always picking up interesting rocks and handing them to me. He also visited me in a dream once. After his death I was a mess. And I was a mess for years! I could not talk about him without crying and I was just so sad. So finally he came to me and said, “Hey! I’m okay. I’m happy and you have got to get ahold of yourself and be happy too!” I woke up from that dream so relieved and so much more at peace.”

 

Heart shaped rocks?

 

 “Oh my goodness! That is so cool! Now I know it was Uncle Doug!! Check out these pictures! I did not know who was trying to get my attention!”

 

She responds, “Oh my goodness. Yes. And don’t even get me started on four-leaf clovers. I practically trip over them!”

 

A few days ago, I hiked Elmore. I saw a lot of heart shaped rocks. I felt like her father, Uncle Doug, was saying to me, “Hey there. We welcomed a new angel to Heaven this week. We got him!” 

 

May you Believe and have a Blessed day. 

 

~In Love and Light,
