Four-leaf Clovers
Welcome to another Cosmic Story by Nancy.
Four-leaf clovers, how beautiful and special they are. They represent hope, faith, luck, and love. A wonderful message. In the wild, 1 in 10,000 clovers is a four-leaf clover. Quite special to find one, you’d say. What if I tell you that I’ve found 6 in 2 years? Yes, you read that correctly, 6! The funny thing is, they found me. Whenever I consciously look for them, I find nothing, but when I let go and expect it to happen, they kept crossing my path. That’s actually how many things in life work. Only when you stop forcing, putting pressure, and finally let go of how everything will unfold, you allow the universe, your inner wisdom, the direct connection with everything that exists in the unity field, to let that source of wisdom do its work to create everything you want in a way that surpasses the human mind, how and when it happens. Experiencing the flow of life, ebb and flow, and very importantly, to truly feel from self-love and gratitude that you are truly worthy of things, experiences, and abundance in whatever way.
The feeling of self-worth and especially whether you truly grant yourself and sincerely feel worthy deep inside to receive what you ask for. The four-leaf clovers mean a lot to me. They came to me in a very special way time and time again. After number 6, I agreed that if another one finds its way to me, I will leave it be to bring luck, hope, faith, and love to someone else as well. My wish and hope is that more people can and may experience the beauty, strength, and intense gratitude for these kinds of small moments of happiness. Often as humans, we get consumed by the busyness of everyday life. I made a promise to myself some time ago. As long as I live, am, and thereafter, I will always maintain my childlike wonder. Something I used to be ashamed of in the past. No more, I have embraced my inner child and we walk hand in hand through life, no longer restrained by the chains of fear, of what others think of me, and I can tell you it feels so good and liberating.
Back to the four-leaf clovers. I was as happy as a child on that beautiful sunny day, June 11, 2021. The day I held my first four-leaf clover in my hands. Unexpectedly, I was allowed to join my youngest son Kayden’s school trip. Two days before this beautiful day, I attended the funeral of a dear client, her name is Gerda. For years, I came to Gerda and her husband’s home, to pamper and care for Gerda time and time again. From head to toe. She felt like a grandmother to me. At some point, Gerda developed dementia. After a few tough years, it was time for her to go. It was beautiful to see that photos of us together were shown at her funeral. Grateful for the connection and emotional from her loss, I went home. Two days later, on the way to playground de Kieivit in Berkel en Rodenrijs, I thought of Gerda. Especially about the fact that due to her illness, she couldn’t leave me anything. Not in money, but as a memento. The children played and it was a fun day. Sitting in the sun wearing a dress and a sun hat, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. On the blanket of another mother, we chatted while enjoying some snacks and drinks. I always like to fidget when I sit, and as I ran my hand through the grass, I accidentally plucked something. As I did so, I heard myself internally say, as I would to my children, ‘don’t pluck!’ I was amazed when I looked at my plucked “grass”.
It wasn’t grass, it was a four-leaf clover. In disbelief, but with an intense feeling of happiness, I admired my first real four-leaf clover. Gerda immediately came to my mind and to this day, that first four-leaf clover feels like a gift, a kind of wink from her. The mother I was talking to looked on with an amazed face and took a photo of me and my beautiful four-leaf clover. No one can take this special moment and experience away from me.
