TALES FROM THE BOBBI LAMA

One time, during a reading with a medium, she told me that my late husband came through and wanted me to look for hawks. He wanted me to know they were a symbol of him looking out for me and protecting me. I found that fascinating and later googled hawk symbolism. It said, “Hawks represent changes, clarity, pursuing your goals and dreams. protection, and honoring your inner wisdom.” It was no surprise that those certainly represent my needs at the moment. You see I’ve submitted a manuscript for the book my late husband has “helped me write” from the other side this year, by giving me constant, verifiable signs. I am waiting to hear back about its acceptance. As time goes by (only a week), I lose a little confidence each day. I’m trying to stay positive because I believe the book will give so many people comfort knowing their loved ones are not gone. Last night, I asked him for a sign that this book would be published so it could be shared with anyone who needs it.

This morning, the weather was so perfect, I was out the door for a brisk walk as soon as the sun came up. At one point, I was startled by a hawk that flew directly into my path less than two sidewalk squares in front of me, flapping as it landed, facing me directly. I stopped short, figuring it would take off immediately , but it didn’t. It sat there, looking right at me, and I stood still looking directly into its eyes. I tried not to move too much, but wanted to get a picture, so I was quietly turning on my phone camera. It kept sitting there staring at me. I almost took the picture when someone from the house came out of their front door and it took off. I saw it fly up to the roof of a house directly across the street. It perched there and seemed to continue looking right at me as I took picture after picture. I could feel its confident strength, and it gave me the chills. I stayed there for a while, but eventually started walking down the street slowly, turning, and then walking back. It never moved.

In fact, I walked around that area for about ten minutes (probably making the neighbors wonder about me). I eventually needed to move on, but the hawk stayed as long as I could see that roof. What a wonderful message and delivered so “in my face.” There was no doubt my husband answered me, and I now feel so much more confident and supported in “our” project.
