Why Is The Site Called Rosezella's Way?

It is said that God always sends at least one person to save you when you are in a bad situation, one person who will love you unconditionally, and give you the possibility that life could be different. When I was young, I was very sick, so sick in fact, that they did not expect me to live. To compound that, my parents would say on a daily basis that “You could die tonight”, I was taught that prayer, “If I die before I wake”, and I had a cousin that died in her sleep who was a few years older than me, and she wasn’t even ever sick, so hey- it could happen. I missed more days of first and second grade than I attended, and was hospitalized 9 times, once over Christmas and New years both, another time that the hospital was so crowded, I had a bed out in the hall.

My grandmother let me play in her GOOD jewelry box, taught me how to make round ice cubes and kept peanut butter cups in the freezer for me. Widowed and afraid to fly, she took trains to 48 states, and she always sent me a postcard from everywhere she went. She took me into a fancy tearoom and had them stock hot dogs (my favorite food) in the kitchen even though they weren’t on the menu. She sang “You are my sunshine” to me daily. In short, she made me feel loved, and didn’t expect anything from me.

She died when I was 8 years old. She had lived with us; my dad had built an extension onto the house for her to live in, with her own kitchen & living room, a full apartment, really. So when she passed, she physically left my life, after having been in it every day.

Decades later, when I started calling Tucson, Arizona my home, I visited Illinois, and my mother gave me many pieces of my grandmother’s jewelry which I took back to Arizona with me. A few weeks later, my house was burglarized, and all the jewelry was stolen. I felt bereft, knowing that if I had left the jewelry in Illinois, it would still be in the family. A few months later, they caught the burglar, and I received a few earrings back from my grandmother’s collection, nothing else. Why the guy had single earrings I will never know. My roommate and I received 62 single earrings back. I had an earring from a crystal necklace & earring set, signed, made with gorgeous jewel toned oval & rarely shaped crystal, I it was my favorite. Having the one earring was almost an insult to the fact I had in my possession such a gorgeous set of gems.

Fast-forward 5 years. I came home one day, to find a SECOND EARRING lying on the floor in the middle of my bedroom. I had always been a science gal, with a MS in Animal Science Immunology/Nutrition, I was doing specialty medical sales at the time, showing physicians large studies & believing in medicine that was PROVEN. Yet here, that day, there was an earring laying in my bedroom, on carpet that had been installed a year ago, long after it had been taken from the house, on carpet I vacuumed twice a week, in a room I cleaned regularly, there WAS NO WAY THAT EARRING HAD BEEN IN THAT ROOM FOR 5 YEARS. Someone/something had enough oomph to take the earring from wherever it had been, and bring it back to me, leaving it in a place I would KNOW was not possible to have been for a day without being seen, let alone 5 years.

That was the day I began to believe in spirit, in spirit guides existing, it opened me to the whole world of other spiritual energy and leaving the belief that science was the only answer. That was the day I could no longer explain what happened in my life by rational thought. I got from the earring appearing, that there were to be tough times ahead, and my grandmother wanted me to know that she was still with me, I was not alone. It was not off, I broke off a relationship shortly afterwards that left me suicidal and without a path. The 2 earrings were in my possession always during that time, a physical reminder that I was not alone, and that miracles did happen, of all things, to me.

That is why this website is called, ROSEZELLA'S WAY. This is the path I set on because of my grandmother, both with her keeping me alive with love as a youngster & showing me that life continues after death, in the only way I would accept- physical proof. NO WAY could I find to prove that earring being in my bedroom besides spirit putting it there. I have never met another person named ROSEZELLA but my grandmother, and she always blazed her own trail. Giving me what I needed to do the same.
