Mothers voice still speaks.....

Today I heard my mothers voice...I was asked to give a donation by one of my staff members who was approached by Kevin in her marketing group meeting earlier this morning. The letter below is one that I sent to Kevin with the donation... It is very interesting how things work out.

Kevin,

I did not know what to say about this piece of work. It is so hard to give it away. If it were up to me I would not part with it but this is a power greater than myself so I offer it with love and great hope. I wanted to tell you how incredible this experience has been for me. Here is what happened…

I was conducting my morning meeting with my management staff. After the meeting Beverley stopped me and said, “At my morning meeting I was asked if we could give a donation to auction to help a woman who is suffering from breast cancer…

I get these types of requests just about daily and am ashamed to say that I typically say no or I loose it on my desk. Beverly held out your business card and as I reached for it she told me to give you a call if this is something we could help with. I thought first yes, I could donate one of my paintings for the cause. The instant that I touched the card I heard a voice say, “Donate one of mine”. I know this voice to be my mothers as I hear her from time to time. A little shaken by this idea of giving one of her works away I went directly to my office and I called you.

I was listening to you tell me about FFA and then about the benefit for a lady with breast cancer. I was sure that I was going to give you donations from the hotel and just when I about talked myself out of giving away one of moms paintings you mentioned the woman’s name “Susan”. This is the same name that most people called my mom. That name rung through me like a shot and I knew that the message my mother sent was intended to materialize and that it was her wish for you to have this piece.

What you did not know is that a few moments after hanging up with you Beverley came to my office and I told her that I spoken to you and we would donate from the hotel to both causes and then I mentioned I would be giving a piece of my mothers work as well. I told her about the voice when I touched your card and she said “Wow, that is so strange…you know when he gave me the card I instantly thought I must give this to Hannah” and then she explained “I thought that was weird because I typically would have just got the information and then asked for the certificate, gotten it from you and given it to him, but when I touched the card I instantly thought I needed to give it to you.”
