Music is well said to be the speech of Angels
Simply put, I love music…and when I put on the radio in the car while driving, many times I’ll find that I’m guided by my angels and their seemingly coincidental songs that play on the station that I’m listening to ~ does that happen to you? Do you know what I mean?
For example, yesterday, I had to return to my surgeon to have some stitches removed. It was the first time I was driving since my surgery exactly one week ago. Because I couldn’t find anyone to accompany me to NYC, I made the 2 + hour trip alone which was a bit monumental for me since I hadn’t slept the night before, but I had faith that it would all work out.
So, I got the kids off to school, got ready and hopped into the car for the 50 minute drive to the ferry. I turned on the radio and that’s when I knew I had some angelic company with me. I wasn’t alone and they were showing me via the songs that played ~ because they played a plethora of my favorites in a row, one after another so that I wouldn’t mistake their speech to me. Like Horton in Dr. Seuss ~ I heard the angels in who-ville!
So my drive to the ferry was enhanced by their selections and as I allowed the music to wash over me, I sang loud and clear and off-key to my hearts content as I drove. Lost and abandoned in the feel good of my favorite songs, I felt strength envelope me and I allowed it to fill the car with its energy. In fact, I believe I was vibrating at such a high level that I manifested the 3rd parking spot in a huge lot which generally is completely full and I end up parking my car 3 blocks away, but not yesterday! I was in the groove and I had a prime spot! I was so happy!
Once safely on the ferry, I continued reading my Christmas book which I’ve so enjoyed. I figured I needed to just relax into the downtime/alone-time and not fill it with work. So with happy guilt-free pleasure, I read my book and sipped my coffee.
On my way home however, it was a different story ~ things had changed a bit because I lost my angelic vibes along the way. My appointment was more complicated than I anticipated so I missed the boat I had wanted to take by 3 minutes. I began to feel sad, but then I decided to go to a nearby cafe and enjoy some dessert. As luck would have it, I found Lucky’s (open 24/7), was escorted to a small corner booth and heard one of my favorite Christmas carols on the radio. Ahh…my angels had returned!
On the ferry ride home, we had some trouble with the engines…in fact we were delayed as we slowed down, sputtered a bit and actually stopped mid-trip. I began planning how I would hold my purse if we had to abandon ship when the song Breathe came on ~ I hadn’t even noticed that the radio had been playing, but all of a sudden, I was aware of it, distinctly heard it…and it calmed me. Synchronicity? Angelic speech? Coincidence?
Has this ever happened to you?
What would your angelic songs be?
I hope you hear angelic music today!
Sing On and God Bless!

Music is so magic. It is one of my favorite therapeutic tools.

Oh yes, I love music as well…it soothes the soul. 🙂
You stopped me in my reading-tracks when you said you drove to NYC. !!!!!!! I was relieved to see you drove to the ferry, not directly into the maelstrom of the city! I am fortunate to have a bus from here, only a mile from my house, that whisks us into Port Authority with no trouble when we need it. Glad those stitches are out. I hope that feels better. Music is a great healer, I think. I love how it “followed” you, yesterday. 🙂
Me too…I love how it held my hand during the day…hugs to you my friend. xo
Remember Simon and Garfunkle’s lyrics to Feeling Groovey? “Slow down, you move too fast; you’ve got to make the morning last.”? That’s what I got this morning as I raced out of my house feeling late for an appointment and questioned whether I could still squeeze in getting some gas! It works, you’re right! Thank you.
Oh I love to hear when it works for others as well! Hugs to you! xoxo
What a lovely story. You are so present to the possibility available in the moment. Glad you made it to and from your appointment safely!
Thanks Vicki! It was like the red carpet opened out before me on my way to the dr. Did you get my email? xo Thanks again…
Thank you for the follow and may God bless you and your family this Christmas Season.
Thank you ~ and the same to you and yours! God Bless.
That’s quite an adventure by yourself to get your sutures removed! How are you doing? I’m glad you had music and dessert to help you on your journey plus a ferry ride!
I’m doing better everyday! Thanks for asking! Surely you are enjoying the Captain home! 🙂
It’s so nice to have my best friend around! I think I really only notice how lonely it gets when he’s gone when he’s actually here, which is kind of weird. I’m so glad you are speedily recovering!
Thank you ~ and I’m glad he’s there with you now. Enjoy every special moment! xo
