She sends you a sunflower...."I don't think there's anything on this planet that trumpets life like the sunflower.
In 2001, on a most ordinary day, life took a surprising turn. A friend, Deanna, showed me a photo of a friend of hers. Linda died five years ago, before I knew Deanna. Holding her photo, I felt her personality, energy, and presence, even though I'd never met her. It was as if an imprint of Linda's essence was placed into the palm of my hand. Linda felt very much alive!Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it." - Helen Mirren, "The Calendar Girls"
Deanna mentioned how strange it was that she came across those particular photos at that particular time. "It was just the other day", she said, "that I got lost while driving, and I passed the spot where Linda died in a car accident. and now I find these photos of her". We were in the midst of a Pilates class at the gym (Deanna was the teacher) at the time. Suddenly I heard somebody say these words: "She sends you a sunflower". Long pause. I realized the words came from my mouth! "What did you say?" Deanna said. Her mouth hung open, and my nursing background told me she looked like she might faint. This reaction startled me, and for a moment, I was also bewildered. "You know - a sunflower. Brown center, yellow petals all around." Now, I was at a loss for words. "I know what flower you mean...how did you know.? Her entire funeral was decorated with sunflowers.even a poem with a sunflower frame.it was.her favorite flower!" The rest of the class heard this and there was a quiet, collective "Whoa." A disembodied voice then said; "That was her way of saying hello". The voice was MINE! There was no time to analyze, withhold, or edit! The "Hello" from Linda had bypassed any personal hesitation. ("WHOA" was right!) And so goes the sunflower story. It began my work as a psychic and a medium. Several years later I discovered the sunflower is the symbol for mediumship in the National Spiritualist church. The sunflower story turned out to be a double message from beyond and more. It was a message for Deanna. And for me, it was a validation of ability that had lain dormant since childhood. Now "outted" by the universe, I am no longer a closet psychic! I swear I hear Linda giggle every time I tell the story. Click here to learn about the symbolism of the sunflower
