Your Irish Saints bracelets were part of a miracle yesterday on a very complex friendship. Yes those Irish saints prayer bracelets can make prayers come true. I have a 32 year PLATONIC relationship with a very beautiful and talented feminist woman who lives with her husband and feminist womens community 100 km from where I do and I only get to see her on special occasions like days before Christmas. Her husband has cancer and several times a year, he is on dealths doorstep. So to her feminist community of amazingly also talented women, I am a threat. My friend lets me know how much she loves me but can't let anyone else see that. Her best girlfriend who deeply loves her finds that out and is doing everything she can to protect her friend by keeping me away (and this best girlfriend is very powerful and convinced even some of my best women friends that I have to have nothing to do with the woman who is her best friend.) Her women's Irish community is convinced that I will steal her away even though if she becomes a widow and wants to remary, they have her perfect next partner lined up and that is not me. They own her. She depends on their love and she and we will probably never be more than friends but friends with an eternal deep connection. Yesterday I went and entererd one of their 100 person Irish community gathering and her best girlfriend when I arrive tells me I have to leave. My friend interrupts and says no he stays. He is double masked and vaccinated and registered to be here. Attached is photo of her when she has taken her 3 closest friends to lunch, explaining she needs me in her life for my prayers for her, her family, and her community including them. The photos show her women friends have heard her and they are wearing Carroll's Irish Saints bracelets. She has 6 more to give to others. Such a great and perfect gift in a time of Pandemic when all of our fear centers are going crazy and finding spiritual connections essential to all the healing we need. We need Vaccines and masks to keep us safe but we need spiritual wisdom of the ancestors like Brigid of Kildare to heal our very broken societies. (Actually Brigid is the strongest of over 100 connections I have with my friend. Brigid is both our favorite saint. Me because she is patron of beer and compassion and my friend because of her feminism and compassion.. :) My Irish family (Mahoney line peasants out of the bogs of County Cork and Munster) is one reason I checked out your gifts for my spiritually Irish friend. Actually St. Brigid may have directed me to you. To show my level of my pandemic insanity, Brigid in the last year visited me twice once at 3 pm telling me to go back to sleep because she had this one and my friend was going no where on me. And on the night of her feast day I fell asleep for an hour at night and woke up seeing a tall thin woman in a red dress standing next to my bed looking lovingly at me. I could see that but as I turned my light on I saw her turn and disappear into thin air and I said: "Thanks for the visit Brigid- a dream extending in an awakened state or pandemic craziness or real visit, I do not know for sure." Or maybe as my favorite folksinger, Tommy Sands talks about in this link: Dreaming into Reality. the original Danny Boy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc9CM_qmf58 . Note I am Bob Zeigler, my friend the recipient is Betsey Beckman who is a Catholic Liturgical Dancer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe2ztNXuexQ who has several DVDs on her dancing the teachings of Irish saints and why the gift was so perfect. Thank you very much. I think Brigid smiles and know I am
