And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. —ROALD DAHL
The central principle of this book is that the universe brings the people, information, and events we most need into our paths. Powerful guiding forces exist that steer us toward happier and more authentic lives.
Another truth that I have come to know: Each of us has a Team of Light—a group of unseen helpers who work together to guide us to our highest path. This team is made up of our loved ones who have crossed, our spirit guides (also commonly known as guardian angels), a higher angelic realm, and God energy, which is based in the strongest force there is or ever will be: love.
Our job is simply to remain open to receiving these messages of love and guidance. When we do, we will know the most powerful truth of all—that the universe is constantly loving and supporting and guiding us, even on our darkest days.
This book is about you. It’s about the path that awaits you. It’s about connecting you to a very simple but powerful idea—that the universe is always sending you signs and messages in order to communicate with you and steer you to a higher life path.
A sign is a message sent to you by the universe.
Default signs might be coins, birds, butterflies, deer, numbers, and electrical disturbances, such as empty cellphone messages, among other things.
Another default sign is what we might call a meaningful coincidence, or synchronicity. Synchronicity shows our innate and active connection to one another and to the world around us.
Glennon Doyle, a writer and light worker whose work inspires me, has said, “Faith is believing in the unseen order of things.”
We are all leaves on different branches of the same tree. We are never alone. Each of our lives matters greatly. We are forever connected to one another, and to the light and love and energy of the universe. Earth is a school where we are all learning a collective lesson in love. We are spiritual beings here to learn about connectivity and kindness.
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
“I realized for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don’t even know it.” —SUE MONK KIDD
Did I fully honor the Other Side’s message the way I was supposed to? Did I do a good enough job?
“Use me however I can best be of service as a vehicle of love and healing in this world. And please just guide me along the way.”
We are all constantly being watched over by a Team of Light; We are loved; We are all connected and invested in one another’s journeys; When you ask for signs from the Universe, the Universe speaks back.
We receive signs from God energy, which is what I mean when I say signs from the universe. This is the highest and most powerful source of love, and we are each directly connected to it, and also to one another through it. We receive signs from our spirit guides/the angelic realm. We receive signs from our loved ones who have crossed.
Side. They are tasked with, and devoted to, making sure everything that happens in our lives is geared toward our soul’s development.

…even out of unspeakable grief, beautiful things take wing. —A. R. TORRES, “The Lessons of Loss”
Six weeks after his death my father appeared to me in a dream…It was an unforgettable experience, and it forced me for the first time to think about life after death. —CARL G. JUNG
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. —MARY ELIZABETH FRYE
The universe is always speaking to us…sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more. —NANCY THAYER
But I know I’ll see you once more When I see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet. —RUMI
If you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person. —FRED ROGERS
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened. —ANATOLE FRANCE
I am quite confident that the most important part of a human being is not his physical body but his nonphysical essence, which some people call soul…The nonphysical part cannot die and cannot decay because it’s not physical. —RABBI HAROLD KUSHNER
I have decided to stick to love…Hate is too great a burden to bear. —MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
The universe sends us signs to steer us toward our highest paths.
Our job is never, ever to follow a path of hate. Our highest and brightest life paths are always paths of love.
we need to listen to and honor the signs the Other Side is sending us: A phrase or idea that pops into our head A gut feeling we can’t shake off The voice of a loved one who has crossed The sense that your loved one is present
Who in your life has been such a servant to you…who has helped you love the good that grows within you? Let’s just take ten seconds to think of some of those people who have loved us and wanted what was best for us in life—those who have encouraged us to become who we are…. No matter where they are—either here or in heaven—imagine how pleased those people must be to know that you thought of them right now. —FRED ROGERS
Love is the bridge between you and everything. —RUMI
You see, we deliver messages to one another all the time. We are all mediums. Knowingly or unknowingly, there are times when we all serve as messengers for the Other Side—as “angels on earth,” if you will. Not just some of us—all of us. Each of us matters greatly to other people and to the universe—a universe that is always pulling us toward our best and brightest lives. Why? Because we are all born worthy.
Shine brightly, and shine on.
Because when we are mindful, we will see things we haven’t been able to see before. And once we see them, we will never be able to unsee them—nor would we ever want to.
may you know what a gift you are to this world. You are more important and more loved than your heart can fathom…and the universe is always trying to show you that….
