Sting Save From Mother

Scroll down to see more content

Gingerly weaving my way through my front garden, all the while keeping my eyes on my sandaled feet so as not step on any of my plants, I carried my two gallon watering can towards my Clematis that stands in the right back corner. My irrigation system doesn’t go back that far so I have to remember to water this Clematis by hand. I poured a healthy long drink of cool water, satisfied She drank deeply.

I had been bent over while pouring the water and when finished I stood up totally forgetting in that moment, what was physically behind me, a Rose of Sharon Tree.

Unfortunately, my hair became tangled on a branch that had several flowers on it and in so doing, that tangle disturbed a honey bee who had been happily gathering pollen on one of those flowers. I heard the buzz and felt the bee as he landed on my head and in a flash fear jumped into my stomach. Nooooooooooo!! And then, the initial horror combusted as that darn honey bee fell down inside the back of my shirt.

Reflexively I immediately dropped the watering can with one hand and with the other hand stretched out the back of my shirt hoping hoping hoping that bee would just fly out. To my astonishment, he did for I actually felt the flutter of his wings against my skin as he did so. With heart pounding, immense Gratitude overcame me, for in that moment I knew Mother had saved me from getting stung yet again.

I turned to gaze at that Tree with eyes full of Gratitude. I had gotten stung on my right foot weeks earlier and the pain sent me through the roof! My Gratitude surrounded me all the day long as I worked quietly in my gardens, lifting me on a cloud of Protection and Peace. My day flowed effortlessly with no thought of time except for those occasional twinges that asked me to go into the house. And when I did go in, I found Sassy calmly sitting on the kitchen floor waiting patiently for me to come in (she knew I would “hear” her “call”) so that she could eat. Since the passing of our Charlie a couple of weeks ago, Sassy has lightened my responsibilities further by choosing to again eat independently of my assistance.

Truly there are Blessings in all Situations. I AM so Grateful!

    1. Hi, Shruti! Yes it has been a long time since I last posted and the reasons are as long as my arm. It is so good to see you here!
      I have so many stories that show when we flow with Mother, what we consider to be miracles, they do happen. Yes it is magical and every time something like this story happens, I feel such awe and humility.
      I am sending you in return lots of love and I thank you for the love sent to our fur babies. It’s been a tough ride for months now and presently I’m doing all I can to make sure the babies that are still here with us, are happy as best as possible. Big hugs!!! xo

    1. Thank you, so very much for the warm welcome! Getting stung is not fun believe you me, and for me not getting stung in the situation I told here, still to this day brings amazement. I know these bees on our property know me for my brother is a beekeeper and he informs me how intelligent they are …. his stories make my jaw drop. The one I inadvertently stepped on, well unfortunately he was only doing what bees do in dangerous situations ….. sting.

  4. Hey beautiful lady, it is great to hear your voice, it has been a while. And Mother was indeed looking out for you, those stings say hello…loudly. And I hear that loss of your lovely Charlie. I’m so sorry, it is a travesty that they do not live as long as us, they are such beautiful creatures. A big hug for that loss my friend, but glad also to feel your love here ❤️

    1. Hi, beautiful man! My voice as you put it, has gone through so many changes as life itself keeps molding me into my full potential. At least I think that is what is happening.
      Mother, yes does look out for me and that near sting put so much Gratitude into my heart that day. Every time an event occurs that is within the Realm of my Connection with Mother, I feel amazed and in such awe.
      Thank you about Charlie. For months I poured everything I had to give to him and my family. Mark, he was so sick and nothing nothing nothing either hubby or I did helped. When you pour your everything into healing someone and still that someone dies, it is a punch to the gut, which in turn makes one question everything …. that is more or less where I am now.
      Thank you for the hug. It’s been a very long haul from March to where I am today. Mostly everything I thought I knew no longer holds true. I suppose I’m starting over again from the ashes of my life. That, my friend, is called Growth.
      Much love to you!! xo

      1. It is a hard road my friend, things come out of left field and makes us wonder. But everything from Spirit has always given an answer as it can always be looked back at in hindsight so we can see ‘us’. It was my turn yesterday, I ended up in hospital because of the allergic reaction to the cortico steroids I’ve been taking for years for emphysema. And because it is affecting my heart so much they had to give me a blood pressure medication…to which I am now having an allergic reaction to…and these slow release tablets means I’ll be out of it for at least the next 2 or 3 days. We are being tested in so many ways, just some days I wish it was just being forced into being a chocolate tester in some factory somewhere 🤣 Great to hear you back my friend, may your garden of sunshine spread to us all 😀❤️🙏🏽

      2. Sorry to hear your woes, Mark. If I began listing what I’ve been through since March, I don’t think the message box would have enough room. All in all, the whole of the matter were Lessons to see what still needed to be changed within me, and to test my strength and faith, over and over again. For what, I ask? I don’t know. That is information I do not receive, thus the Faith that I maintain. I tell you true, I know I’ve changed dramatically for animals and birds are acting a whole lot different around me, actually loosing their fear of me. Astounding actually.

        I have many flower pictures I took and hopefully can put up on my blog. Despite the bone crushing reality I had with Charlie, I did get pictures of my flowers. The freedom I now have gained with his passing is a Gift which allows me to once again go away from the house for longer periods of time like I used to. Like I said, there are always Blessings in every situation. We just have to see them. (smile) xo

      3. Then a gift for you and those around you has indeed opened your heart a little further Amy, a self love to which the birds and animals can feel it and like all love builds trust. These last couple of years has been testing for many so I think it is building that love nicely, may their be plenty of it my friend 😀❤️🙏🏽

    1. I was stung by wasps last year, John, and to be truthful with you, the honey bee sting was IMO worse. Maybe because I got stung on my foot …. I don’t know.

      1. We, too, are having as good a summer as we can. I don’t want to add to your situation, but we had to say goodbye to Maddie early in June. It was necessary, but so hard.

      2. Oh, Dan! I am truly so so sorry! Charlie left us on the 16th of July so your heartache is still very fresh within our family. Oh my goodness!! Saying goodbye to family is just so so difficult!!! I will keep you and your family in my heart and prayers. xo

  13. Such beautiful photos Amy! I love hearing about your experiences with mother nature. Your Rose of Sharon looks so lush!! It’s been quite dry here this summer. Although my Rose of Sharon’s look okay. I’ve been watering Zinnia seeds I planted and am just starting to see some blooms of wonderful color. I’ve never had success with Clematis but may need to try that again next year.

    1. Thank you, Cathy! I have an irrigation system which I have used a lot, for we have not had a whole lot of rain this year. Clematises ….. I have great success with some and with others, no. The one in the corner of my front garden does not seen to want to grow up the trellis but I will not give up on it. The purple Clematises seem to do a lot better then pink which this one is. We’ll see next year when this plant is supposed to flower.

  15. Hi Amy! It was so good to see your beautiful post this morning! And l was relieved to read that bee enjoyed collecting its pollen more than stinging you! Life is good…a bit hot, but when we look at much of the world around us, we see how blessed we are! Have a great day! Hugs, Mary

    1. Thank you, Mary! Having gotten stung by wasps last year and this year a honey bee, I have a very healthy respect for these insects. My brother is a beekeeper and he says if you stay calm they usually do not sting however, that always does not work either.
      Life is good I agree and yes very hot here as well. I know I am so very blessed and every day I acknowledge this fact by repeatedly stopping all I am doing to send up a very grateful prayer to God. I send you BIG HUGS in return!!! Have a glorious day today! xo

    1. Barbara, your comment I read yesterday and I was really moved. Bless you! Spun is not even coming close to what is happening right now. Just the energy itself some days has me in a place I don’t know if I am coming or going. Thank you for your compassion regarding Charlie. I’m relieved he is no longer suffering even though he is dearly missed. I’ve been standing strong for New Earth yet I have my days that I cry out I just seem unable to continue this journey. Yet, I met up with someone I have not seen in many weeks and he commented how much I have changed. Adversity I told him is perhaps the biggest catalyst for change to happen. All I know I’m doing my best in all of my life. I am finding time to publish posts here and in fact there is one more after this one. I have every Intention to post when my heart guides me to do so. Sending you BIG HUGS!! xoxoxo

      1. I understand, overwhelm on this journey we have chosen is an understatement😩 I’m also good one minute and next… overwhelm and don’t care whether I stay or go💃🏼 IAM realising though that I’m releasing a lot of old thinking that is normal to feel as energy is released! My passion and drive within keeps me moving forward gently, slowly as I want nothing more than to experience the pure bliss, unity and harmony on Earth that we have been anchoring in all these years❤️ Yes we’re changing and preparing for new, new selves and new life! I’m just so sad that my Tommy didn’t feel he could do it here with me and is doing his new experience from beyond! Which actually excites me as to wonder the possibilities we can create together on NewEarth💃🏼🕺🎶❤️ much love🥰

      2. Barbara, I’m truly sorry for your loss. I understand very well what a broken heart feels like. I send you BIG HUGS your way! I agree we are changing and preparing and some of that change includes loss, loss that tears our hearts to pieces. Much LOVE to you as we finally begin our Journey on New Earth! xo

      3. Thankyou so much amy for your kind words and loving hugs. Received gratefully❤️ Sorry I’ve been feeling a bit of a recluse lately but I’m making myself connect! So glad to have my friends here walking by my side as we journey this rather lonesome and heartbreaking path! But that’s how it’s supposed to be, I guess! My mixture of feelings is keeping me very occupied, feelings I know I have to integrate as they are part of me now as I pick myself up and move into a new adventure… that I know is going to be magnificent, beyond what we know! Exciting yet nervous being on my own, yet closer than ever to Tom! Talk about being confused! Here’s to us all dealing with life as we continue being brave on our chosen journey! Sending love to you x

      4. In order to truly know thyself, we have to be alone with self. This is when we learn everything we need is within us as one by one we let go the ties between self and outside sources. Yes loosing someone we love is excruciating yet through the pain a Sacred Initiation has begun, one in which changes you forever. When we are comfortable with our own company we learn all the conditioning we were taught regarding how required it is to lean on outside sources has been a lie. I’m not saying to be a recluse forever, no. When we are comfortable with ourselves we are born anew and from this advantage point, we begin to create anew and attract that which is vibrating on our new frequency. That is where we know what to connect with and what to leave behind.

        I must have “felt” like I had died several times over during our lockdown and that is where I faced fears I did not even know I had, and that is where I gained such respect for myself from out of which this new strength and beauty arose. This time you are in is molding you into a higher version of you, Barbara. The sandpaper effect is uncomfortable and painful, yet it is shaving off that which is no longer serving you or your higher purpose. Take heart for you are exactly where you are meant to be. I send you so much love and the assurance that however much time you require to work through this sacred process that has begun, allow it to flow fully to culmination. BIG HUGS!!!! xoxoxoxo

        PS You are never alone! And due to these special times we are in, yes Tom will be assisting you on your Journey. (SMILE!)

      5. Yes to the need to be alone… which I’d thought I’d done years ago already, even in my relationship with Tom… however I needed to go deeper and Tom continues to support me! I feel his presence even more if that is possible, but still carry around that empty feeling which Iam embracing, diving deep to reveal more and more godlike mystery! It seems to be taking its time, but I trust my process and know everything is most perfect! So grateful for your friendship, love and wisdom💃🏻🌈❤️ sending love and gratitude to you🙏

      6. Barbara, I cherish conversations such as this one for not many know or understand how to speak from the heart. You and I know and understand how to do so. These conversations to me are Gifts. Bless you! Continue to dive deeply for that is where you will find your Greatest Treasures. I’m still deep diving and knowing what I know now, I’m awaiting the transition to bring forth to me opportunities whereupon I can play in these new realms. I’m in the process of showing the Universe I know by doing what I am able to do now, and in so doing, the Universe will understand I am serious about this new adventure and so will help me create the NEW. Cool beans! Sending so much love to you!!! You can do this!! xoxoxo

  18. It’s a small world Amy! I got stung in the toe last week. My toe was swollen and itchy for four days. I usually only get stung by Yellow Jackets, but I must have done something to really upset this bee. Very sorry to hear about your Charlie.

    1. OH, Scott!! Those honey bees HURT like the dickens, especially on the foot which is where I got stung, on the arch of my right foot. Walking through tall grass with lots of clover in sandals did it. Oh yes I still wear sandals but I look now where my feet are going and where those bees still are. Last year I got stung by Yellow Jackets and that too was a huge OUCH!

      Thank you about Charlie. We had the honor of having him for 16 years and even though this entire family misses him, it is a relief he is no longer suffering. That is how I maintain my serenity when I think of Charlie, even on the days the tears do fall.

      Hope all is well your way!! xoxoxo
