A Magical Experience with a Whale Shark

Our beloveds are always with us ❀️‍πŸ”₯

This was one of the most sacred experiences of my life!

While in Mexico, I had the honor of swimming with the incredibly large & peaceful whale sharks. 🦈

I had brought some of my parents ashes to spread in the water to honor them. They both were life long avid environmentalists, safari leaders & would have LOVED to swim with whale sharks, as I was doing here. πŸ‹

This experience was utterly profound. I had just put some of my parents ashes in the ocean doing sacred ceremony 30 minutes before this gorgeous male whale shark showed up.

Note: My parents both died in the last 2.5 -3 years & I’ve deeply missed them. It’s been hard to move forward as both of their deaths made such a deep impact upon my life. If you want to hear more about the experience of my parents deaths, how incredible they were and how it impacted me, please read this blog post from March 2023. πŸ’”

This circumstance of a whale shark swimming with us was completely out of context! In all the other experiences I had, I would just have a minute or so with one, until it swam off. This peaceful whale shark swam intentionally with us for a considerably long period of time, like 30 -45 minutes or so!

I was incredibly touched by this experience, it felt like it was my parents spirits showing up & telling me they are still with me, sending me love. ❀️‍πŸ”₯

Thank you Mom, Dad & benevolent whale shark. Words cannot express how grateful I am for this experience. β™₯οΈπŸ™πŸ½β™₯️

Laura Lynn Jackson n her book β€˜Signs’ speaks about how animals show up to show us signs from our beloveds whom have departed. This was certainly the case with this! I highly recommend this book by the way. ❀️‍πŸ”₯
