For the past couple of years, ever since my dad passed away, I’d started to become curious about spirituality, the Universe and about what happens beyond this lifetime. The people I know have probably become used to me rambling on about this stuff and might even find it a bit ridiculous. That’s ok. We all believe what we believe I suppose.

Testing the Universe
Anyway, I wanted to do a little experiment. I wanted to ‘test’ the Universe. Following the recent passing of my ex-husband Paul, I wanted a sign. Some sort of acknowledgment that he knew I was thinking of him. That very night, whilst scrolling through social media, I came across a clip that contained the song we danced to at our wedding. I hadn’t heard that song in years. It was No Matter What by Boyzone by the way. That’s 1.
The first 'sign' was just a coincidence
I thought ok, it’s a coincidence. So, I tried to think of something I wouldn’t see in my normal, everyday life. I asked the Universe to show me a turtle! I don’t usually watch channels like animal planet or the discovery channel, so I figured it was a safe bet. (I’m more of a Sci-Fi girl). Anyway, that very day, I had to go round to the daughter in law’s house unexpectedly after work. I went upstairs to have a cuppa and a catchup and there it was, my grandson’s turtle!! That’s 2.

I'm making it too easy to 'see' signs
At this point I’m thinking, ok sure, I knew he had one so maybe I was somehow thinking of it so there could have been a chance I would see it, right?
I wasn’t satisfied. This time universe, this time I’ve definitely got something I’m not likely to see… a rooster! I mean where am I going to see a rooster? It’s not like I live on a farm.
I bet you probably already get where this is going. Sure enough, I’m doing some research online (ok, it was TikTok..but it was still research) and the clip I happened to be watching had a rooster in it!!! That’s 3.

They say 'Test the Universe', I think I did
Still, I wasn’t convinced. This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about how recently, a psychic told me my dad leaves me white feathers and at the time I thought, what utter bullshit!! My dad was not really the white feathers kind of guy. That just didn’t feel relevant to anything associated with my dad. So, there I was, ‘talking’ to my dad and I said, show me something that would have meaning. I want to see my niece’s name. Not necessarily how it’s spelt, but the name. In my head, I was thinking I’d get an email or something with the name and then I just put it out of my head.
A few moments before I started writing this blog, I was doing some more of that research. The clip I was watching was from a user called ‘Sofia’……my niece’s name!!!

I know there will be those who think, you see what you want to see and I don’t disagree, but I feel like this life, our existence, is so much bigger than we think and it doesn’t hurt to open our minds to things that are not just black and white.
All I know is that four times, I asked for signs and got them every time. I wasn’t expecting the Universe to take out a billboard that said “Neesha, here are the signs you’ve been asking for” . Just saying……..
