Our deceased loved ones regularly send us messages and signs from the Other Side. One of their favorite ways to commune with us is to use nature and natural phenomena to show that they are still around. As you stroll along the Long Island Coast—bay or oceanside, pay attention to your surroundings to see how Souls-in-Spirit communicate. If you celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or wedding, look for signs from your deceased loved ones. They never miss an important event and like to make their presence known by sending a dragonfly, ladybug, dove, praying mantis, hummingbird, cardinal, or butterfly your way. These winged wonders have other symbolic meanings, and souls who have crossed over may be trying to deliver a deeper message to you.
