I am finally writing to share the “magical gifts” that our daughter, Ariel has sent us that are tied to two mindblowing readings with had with two great mediums – Gordon Smith and Mark Anthony.
The story starts with Gordon Smith’s Helping Parents Heal (HPH) session in December 2024. Ariel and Austin (Nan and Jeff Cottrell’s son) crashed the session to speak directly to their parents, at a time when Gordon did not have any plans to give readings. Ariel told her dad through Gordon, “I have a unicorn to give you.” Unicorn is a very special sign; Ariel not only loves unicorns; she used it as her Instagram name and had unicorn stickers all over her notebooks. To us, a unicorn truly represents Ariel. She made numerous YouTube videos for her friends and followers talking about different aspects of teenage life, and in one of them, she beautifully said, “It is too hard to be a boy. It is too hard to be a girl. So, I’ll just be a unicorn."
When Gordon mentioned the unicorn, we naturally assumed Ariel was speaking figuratively. However, we were wrong. A month later in January 2025, Ish found a tiny, delicate, beautiful unicorn sitting on top of a light switch box while he was walking on an indoor trail.
After that, the magical gifts continued coming at different corners of the building—more unicorns, cardinal, and then a baby bear came day after mothers’ day.
As a toddler Ariel loved the story of Goldilocks. She used to say our family consisted of Father Bear, Mother Bear, Sister Bear, and the wee little baby bear. We always called her our baby bear. Then in August day before her sister’s birthday she sent a tiny mermaid figurine along with a tiny red baby bear holding a heart - Ramee named Ariel, after The Little Mermaid.
These gifts kept appearing one every few weeks – more unicorns, a baby lamb, a baby otter, kittens, butterfly. Ish found them always placed right along his walking path in different locations, though nobody else ever seemed to notice them. Picture of the building below.
Some skeptics might say someone who works at the building was simply leaving these figurines behind on purpose, but Ariel debunked that hypothesis, too. In June of this year, right before her mother’s birthday, Ish found a bear while walking our dog in our own neighborhood. Below is picture of the two bears found a year and 25 miles apart.
The story ends, for now, with the latest gift we found that is tied to the mind-blowing reading Mark Anthony gave us in back in 2022 that I previously shared with you and HPH. Mark said Ariel was showing him an octopus. We went blank, it meant nothing, Mark confidently said it is very important and just note it down for now. Well that was because it was for Ramee to validate, who was not at the reading. Unknown to us, Ramee regularly texted Ariel while she was at the hospital and the very last text message was included in the validation story we submitted
Now, guess what is the very last gift Ish received from Ariel, just the week before the conference? A baby octopus!
I took it with me and showed it to Mark the first day, asking how is that even possible. He said his presentation is on this subject and it will explain how!. And what a presentation it was, and no coincidence it ended with Ariel’s “big brother” Austin’s mind-blowing images in the woods as example of what power our children have now!!
