Kindred Spirits: Ed Appears to Lauren While She's Reading the Book

Kindred Spirits Available on Amazon.com

I didn't know that my friend Lauren ordered my new book "Kindred Spirits" until she sent me this email a couple of weeks ago and it was freaky! 
  I'll preface this by saying that Lauren didn't know anything about Ed, the topic of the Kindred Spirits book. Her email to me clearly indicated to me that Ed's spirit dropped in and visited her to thank her for reading about him, knowing that she would tell me!
  Here''s what she wrote:  

Rob-  Today, I went out to the patio behind our building which is in the sun and has tables and decided to pull out my kindle to read for a few minutes. I downloaded Kindred Spirits last night, so I opened it up and began to read.

I want to set the stage that I am sitting outside, in the sun, by myself, and there are noises in the background...like a yard crew with a leaf blower around the corner, and people walk by on the sidewalk occasionally. 

  While I was reading, a noise caught my attention, like the sound you hear in a marina when a halyard bangs into a sailboat mast. It happened three times in succession and I looked up and looked around and couldn't find the source of the sound. Things had become very quiet and all the other noises had stopped. 

   It sounded like someone trying to get my attention, so I closed my eyes and I had a vision of a man with dark hair, but it was blurry and black and white. I opened my eyes, decided that I was trying to think about Ed because I was reading about him, and went back to reading.  

    On the very next page I came to Ed's physical description, and you described him as "handsome, with dark hair and a nice smile. I got goosebumps because the man I saw was sort of in a half profile, not smiling, but did have dark hair. I turned the next page and nearly fell out of my chair because the photo of Ed in the book.....its blurry, he has dark hair, isn't smiling, and its black and white...it was him.

I am already second guessing myself. The fleeting picture I saw in my mind was like a fuzzy radio signal. But, then on the next page, there he was. 
  "Pages" in a kindle can vary based on what size font you are looking at, so I don't know for certain what the pages are in the hard copy. But, man. I swear I saw him before I saw his picture. I don't know what to make of it.

Amazing Sign on My Dad's Birthday

November 8 would have been my dad's 88th birthday. Dad passed in 2008, but he's given me lots of signs he's still around. Spirits usually come around on birthdays, anniversaries and holidays, and my Dad was no exception to the rule this year!  Of course, he had help from my mother (also in spirit).

We were driving to do an errand and directly in front of us, stopped at a red light was a silver car. On the bumper of the car was a bumper sticker that said "I love Bean Ava Maria." Ava Maria was my mother's favorite song! Since my mother usually did the talking for my dad in life, she was doing it from spirit - by leading us directly behind that car!

Here's another thing that's strange and wonderful about the situation: "The Bean of Ave Maria" is a coffee shop... IN FLORIDA!  It's located at 5068 Annunciation Circle, Unit 206,Ave Maria, FL. Again, what are the chances that a car in Maryland would have a bumpersticker about a place in Florida, and right in front of us at the very time we decided to go out to run an errand? 

As I've learned since being able to get messages from people who have passed (since I was 13), there is no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to how spirits give messages.

It was obvious that my mom's spirit led us to drive directly behind THAT particular car, so I would know that she and my dad were around me today.

I wrote about many signs that my dad gave me after he passed in my book "Ghosts and Spirits"  (which I retired), and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" which is available on Amazon.com in paperback and E-book.
