THE UNIVERSE IS ALWAYS SPEAKING TO US

At the beginning of the new year, I read a wonderful book about signs, about the loved ones talking to us from the afterlife. 

I also came across this beautiful reminder: “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)

Universum räägib meiega alati

Sattusin uue aasta alguses lugema imetoredat raamatut märkidest, fookusega meiega teispoolsusest rääkivatel lähedastel. 

Kohtasin seal ka sellist kaunist meeldetuletust: “Universum räägib meiega alati… saates meile väikseid sõnumeid, põhjustades kokkusattumusi ja sündmuste õnnelikke arenguid, mis tuletavad meile meelde, et me peatuksime, vaataksime ringi, usuksime millessegi muusse, millessegi enamasse.” (Nancy Thayer)

I GIVE ME EVERYTHING

I came across a beautiful holiday picture on social media with the caption: “I’m not going to promise anything for new year because I’m going to give me everything I want.”

Well said and worth following! Just as great was the meme of two ladies sipping champagne with the caption: “None of this New Year, New Me nonsense. Last year I was fabulous and next year I will be fabulous!”

Ma luban endale kõike

Mulle jäi sotsiaalmeedias ette kellegi kaunis puhkusepilt tekstiga uusaastalubaduste teemal: “Ma ei hakka midagi uueks aastaks lubama, sest ma luban endale kõike.”

Rõõmuküllane tee ja järgimist väärt mõte! Sama tore oli meem, kus kaks daami rüüpasid šampanjat, nende kohal tekst: “Aitab sellest “uus aasta, uus mina” jamast. Ma olin suurepärane eelmisel aastal ja ma olen suurepärane tuleval aastal!”

BE NICER TO YOURSELF

Since I have quite a long history with images of the heart and head having a dialogue, of course my attention was caught by a picture that appeared on my feed in social media, where the heart handed a flower to the brain and suggested: “Talk a little nicer to yourself today!”

So I did.

Ole enda vastu kenam

Kuna mul on üsna pikk ajalugu pildikestega, kus süda ja pea dialoogi peavad, siis muidugi köitis mu tähelepanu sotsiaalmeedias ette jäänud pildike, kus süda ulatas ajule lille ja soovitas: “Räägi endaga täna veidi kenamini.”

Tegin seda.

RISING FROM THE ASHES

My dear 90-year-old grandmother was hospitalized with a health problem after Christmas. But before that, when I was driving to see her, when I already knew something was wrong, but didn’t know how badly, so I panicked and was close to tears, I suddenly saw an advertising poster by the road with the text “Rising from the ashes”. It gave me so much hope at that moment, showed me the most joyful path… especially since my grandmother was born in the year of the Rooster, so rising from the ashes like a phoenix was immediately associated with her.

Then there was the ambulance, the hospital… but already the next day she was better, and four days later I took her home from the hospital. She did rise from the ashes like a phoenix, incredibly quickly, too.

Tuhast tõusmine

Mu kallis 90aastane vanaema sattus jõulu teisel pühal terviserikkega haiglasse. Aga enne seda tema juurde sõites, kui teadsin juba, et midagi on valesti, aga ei teadnud, kui hullusti, nii et olin endast päris väljas, nägin äkki tee ääres reklaamplakatit tekstiga “Tuhast tõusmine”. See andis sel hetkel nii palju lootust, näitas kõige rõõmuküllasemat teed… seda enam, et vanaema on Kuke aastal sündinud, nii et fööniksina tuhast tõusmine seostuski kohe temaga.

Edasi oli kiirabi, haigla… aga järgmisel päeval oli tal juba parem ning neli päeva hiljem viisin ta haiglast koju. Ta tõusiski fööniksina tuhast, uskumatult kiiresti pealegi.
