    About this ebook

    I’ve lived practically my whole life understanding that heaven surrounds all of us.
    This is a collection of true stories about my personal experiences that I’ve been telling to my family and friends for years. Eventually, I decided to preserve them by writing them out. As the collection came together, I began to see the stories in a new light. What they reveal collectively, in my opinion, is how miraculously close heaven is to all of us and the roles that our loved ones who are in heaven play in our lives.
    Spirits, guides, guardians, angels—I believe these loving and powerful beings are with us all the time, and they can both command and break the laws of science—to perform miracles—when the need to steer, teach and protect us.
    You know that you have experienced a miracle when the combination of all things scientific is perfect for the expected outcome, and something else happens instead—that’s divine intervention. That’s when the spirits or our guides have stepped in and altered life in order for a different miraculous outcome to occur.
    Another kind of miracle is that in our waking lives and in our sleep, guardian angels, spiritual guides and other messengers are communicating with us. The voice in the back of your mind, the idea that pops out of nowhere or the image that appears in your head—sometimes you’re not sure where they come from. They are coming from heaven.

    I've always dreamed of sharing my writing, but for the longest time I didn't know what I had to say that others would be interested in. I finally decided to e-publish "Sometimes Heaven..." when I thought that maybe the message behind it could help people get through whatever it is they are trying to get through today, or tomorrow. I have another writing project on the back burner that I'm anxious to start. And I'm faithful that it will happen when the time is right.

      Acknowledgements

      I dedicate this miracle to the wise and loving women who’ve been a strong guiding force throughout my life: Lilly, Mary, my mother, and Barb.

      Also, I want to thank:

      Scott, for helping me to see it was time,

      Susan, for encouraging me to trust myself,

      David, for reminding me of my priorities,

      Corky, for challenging me to stay grounded,

      Caroline and Mimi, for inspiring my cover image,

      And most of all, Gary, for loving me exactly the way I am.

      Prologue

      This is a collection of true stories about my personal experiences that I’ve been telling to my family and friends for years. Eventually, I decided to preserve them by writing them out. As the collection came together, I began to see the stories in a new light—as one meaningful experience rather than as various individual tales. What they reveal collectively, in my opinion, is how miraculously close heaven is to all of us and the roles that our loved ones who are in heaven play in our lives.

      Have you ever read someone’s mind?

      He’s going to ask me for a date (1994)

      I wish I wasn’t starting off writing about the most trouble-filled year of my life, but this will help you understand my frame of mind going into the first story, which feels like the right place to introduce you to my experiences.

      In March 1994, the court in my hometown determined my ex-boyfriend to be guilty of harassment. He was actually guilty of stalking me, but they gave him a lessor conviction with the condition that if he tried once more to see or contact me in any way, they would immediately upgrade the conviction, and he would incur more jail time.

      I met the stalker about a year earlier when he came to work at the same car dealership as me. I don’t know when
