I asked the universe for guidance and was stunned by what I saw next…
My mum, Pat, was living with me while she battled bowel cancer and I decided to spruce up her bedroom.
‘What flowers would you like?’ I asked her. ‘Blue roses,’ she replied.
I’d never heard of blue roses so I bought her a bunch of mixed colours.
Tragically, Mum died at 64. That very day, a hearse drove past me full of blue roses.
I was gobsmacked, but decided it was just a coincidence.
Then I learnt that blue roses were made by dyeing white ones, so I had some made for Mum’s funeral.
Later, I read The Secret and it talked about getting signs from the universe.
OK then, universe, give me blue roses, I thought.
A few days later, I was driving home when I saw a trail of plastic blue roses across the road.
Another coincidence?
Then, as I stepped out of my car one day, there was a blue rose at my feet…
Three sightings of blue roses? Maybe I needed to start paying attention to the universe.
One day, my sis, Trisha, and I decided to take flowers to Mum’s grave.
On the way, I made a detour to visit our Auntie Betty. Then
Betty asked me to run an errand for her.
Are we ever going to get to Mum’s grave? I thought.
As we drove along the road, Trisha pointed at a car registration in front of us.
‘Look!’ she exclaime
