Be open to the signs, because you never know when spirit is going to send you a wee blessing that will turn your day around. On the morning of April 9 the snow banks were still high and I was pretty low when I went out on the front veranda to ask for a glimmer of cheer. There she was less than four inches small, a tiny garden fairy/angel that I hadn’t noticed in the fall when we moved in, appearing out of the dirty snow bank — and with a butterfly on her knee just in case I needed a stronger symbol of hope. I immediately felt a shimmer go through my body and my eyes filled with tears at the sight of this simple sign of hope and renewal.
