A Diamond in the Rough.
Monday Morning thoughts…
We went on a family vacation once many years ago and part of what we set out to do was mining. Coal mining. It was the most fascinating experience! We mined so many different types of stones that day. My father always picked the best vacations. I look back now and I understand why. He always picked a vacation where fun and adventure were all mixed together. I remember being in the coal mining fields and the tour guide speaking to us about diamonds. I remember days and moments like this in such detail because the tour guide said something about diamonds that has stuck with me over the years. Just learning about them has stuck with me because they are truly of significance. They come from coal, think about what coal looks like before it becomes a diamond. It needs to form into something of a rare beauty. It doesn’t shine it’s brightest until it has been formed to do so.
A few days ago on September 29th I was out on a walk, it was my Dad’s sixty-ninth heavenly birthday. Naturally, I was thinking about him immensely. I looked up and there I see a diamond in the sky.

This was a sign from my father. I was having a rough day and I was getting a little down on myself, I had also just spoken with a publisher and realized I am not quite ready to take the leap yet, a leap of faith. I still have a lot of molding to do for myself. Diamonds go through a lot in order to shine. Once they are ready they are brilliant! They outdo most stones and they really stand out from the rest. I often wonder if many of the vacations my Dad chose were not always just for fun and adventure, also a learning experience. Something to hold on to for the rest of my life. Diamonds hold a deep spiritual meaning. Aside from them being known as purity and love their spiritual meaning goes much deeper than that. They have been known to have the ability to open the mind to new possibilities. A new direction and a reminder that diamonds didn’t always shine the brightest, a diamond needs to be molded first.
Love and Light, always!
