My Story & Sign of A Feather...
As I embarked on my New Journey in my career and starting new business, launching a whiskey was a pretty penny.. Investing everything I own, selling a collection of motorcycles, gathering as much funds as I could, rubbing nickels for dimes, quarters, dollars, I started doing anything I could...
So early on planning Pop’s McCann Whiskey…I would do a lot of thinking, research, and praying to my ancestors. When my first 5 bottles of Pop’s McCann Whiskey arrived I went to the cemetery to give John Francis & Anna Hughes McCann, Helen Ann McCann and the whole family that is Laid to rest at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery for their first taste before I could taste anyone else.. The date was March 10, 2018... As I later found out, this also happened to be Anna’s mother Ellen Fitzpatrick passing date (1934) She actually bought all of the plots in 1901 after her husband passed in 1901..
So giving them all the first taste of Pop’s McCann Whiskey was a must for me to pay my respects and starting my first brand, a historical one, of J.F. McCann Spirits & Co… It was a Very quiet somber video.. (This is available on youtube on the first ever taste…)
After the first taste I began to speak more and more of my ancestors… In some strange occurrences to me… I started to find feather in my path.. My exact path.. I have taken it as a small positive sign at time… As I thought about it… I had a moment of discussion to the sky.. Oh yeah.. if I am on the right path send me more.. Prove it to me… I started getting feather where I am of walking, running, getting in my truck, backyard, everywhere they seemed to be coming from 1 actually flew into my truck as I sat in it, and in other vrious ways of my everyday life..
I know put them in a empty Pop’s McCann Bottle and it is now a display piece for any events that goes in my suitcase… People always ask what is in that bottle.. So I discuss the story I have told you here… I believe it… It is like thinking of someone and a cardinal passes, a butterfly, a lady bug, or finding a dime, or your door bell ringing for no reason… Whatever the sign from our ancestors.. I hope they happen & come to you..
Lastly, My wish is for your ancestors send you a feather… Believe it and it will happen…
Cheers…
