The company that I work for did a Leadership Conference in New York City. I was on the committee with 5 other co-workers which we planned the conference for 300 people to participate.
That morning when I got up I wished my mother Happy Birthday (she would have been 89 years old), as I got dressed for the meeting I put on one of her bracelets that she had given to me a few years prior (see photo below).
Our company was scheduled to have the meeting at the "Tavern on the Green", the committees responsibility was to direct the 300 people into the tavern along the cobblestone sidewalk.
As I was doing my part making sure that everyone was accounted for I happened to look down to see 5 of the shiniest pennies I had ever seen!!!! I called to my friends and husband who were standing behind me and I pointed to the pennies on the cobblestone sidewalk that 300 people had walked on. We all just gasped, especially when I said that it was my mom's birthday!!
I burst into tears because I knew that my mom was there in New York City with me on her special day.
I love you mom!!
