The Signs Quiet Down

Signs From The SpiritSomething unexpected happened after my books went public…

I felt calm.
Not just relief real, deep, quiet calm.

I didn’t see any red birds today.
No feathers, no coins, no unexpected signs.
And for a second, I thought, “Is something wrong?”

But then I realized:
This is what peace feels like.
Because I’m not searching anymore.
my books Signs from the Spirit
And now, I’m holding the U.S. Copyright certificate for Signs from the Spirit in my hands.

That paper, with its gold seal, isn’t just legal protection…
It’s spiritual confirmation.
A sign in itself.

I’ve come a long way. From doubt to faith. From handwritten pages to full books in readers’ hands. From wondering if I was ready… to realizing I already arrived.

So today? No birds needed.
Spirit is quiet because I’m aligned.
And when you’re aligned you don’t need directions. You just walk forward in peace. 🕊️
