We are all in this together and I am grateful for that knowing. There are times in your life when you experience heartbreak, betrayal and wrong doing by hurtful people. But let it be known for the record love and truth will always prevail. It is good to know and trust in the power and guidance of your ancestors and loved ones in spirit – they will never steer you wrong and always, always have your best interest at heart. Read More
Heart of My Heart
Just because the love of your life transitioned into spirit does not mean you cannot spend some time together on Valentine’s Day. As a matter of fact, if you listen closely, pay attention to the details, and notice the signs, chances are you will realize your loved one is reaching out to you, attempting to make a date. Yes, a date. A date with you.
There is no better time than the beginning of a new year to wax sentimental. Sure, we give thought to our loved one’s in spirit each and every day, however, when the season of love and giving comes around thoughts of our loved ones become front and center on our minds.
As you ring in the New Year, ring in old familiar feelings of love, family and connection, and call upon your loved ones in spirit to pay a visit. Because they are usually willing and able to visit on a whim or a prayer or a request, you can call upon them whenever you like. As a matter of fact, most likely they have called upon you more often than you realize or are willing to admit. Read More
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home*
Every time I hear that song I am transported back in time to the days of yore. Transported back to the days of my mother happily preparing for the holidays, bedecked in a Christmas apron, decorating the house in her usual flair and baking all sorts of cookies and sweet treats. As far as I was concerned, my mother, Leah, was the star on the top of our Christmas tree; her jolly presence set the house ‘aglow’.
I am thankful for the business I created over a decade ago, which serves not only individuals seeking to connect with their loved ones in the afterlife, by way of a reading here and there, but those individuals who seek a connection and ‘then some’.
The ‘them some’ I refer to is deep, meaningful, lasting lifestyle changes, and/or counseling, guidance and strategy to deal with life altering upsets or challenges you may find yourself suddenly embroiled in.
Would you agree that our canine, feline and other non-human companions/family members are as important to as our human companions?
They have their own special way of communicating; we understand and respond accordingly. Oftentimes, we refer to them as our ‘buddy’, ‘good friend’ and ‘family’. We form tight, loving bonds and are often left devastated when our animal companions transition to cross over the ‘rainbow bridge’.
Perhaps you have lost a companion and experienced the exact same cycle of emotions as you did when you lost a family member, friend, spouse or partner. I suspect you know what I am talking about. The same seven stages of grief, as defined by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: shock or disbelief, denial, anger, bargaining, guilt, depression, acceptance and hope, apply to the grieving process whether you grieve for a human or an animal.
Our ancestors and loved ones in spirit have passed down a great many traits and behaviors to you; some not so desirable, and others, your finest qualities. Those finer qualities, like compassion, understanding, good judgement, strong interpersonal skills, and a sense of humor have helped shape you and gotten you this far in life.
Have you ever given thought to how their qualities, behaviors, and beliefs may have influenced you over your lifetime and how you may be passing along those qualities to your own children?
Have you ever given thought to how you may be influencing your children, and for what or how you will be remembered?
What type of a legacy will you leave for your loved ones?
We take ourselves with us wherever we go – whether it’s to a networking event, a family get-together, dinner with friends or the afterlife. Wherever we go – there we are.
Death is inevitable.
We will all take that journey at some point in our life, but we do not have to carry our excess baggage with us when we do. Sure, there’s no extra charge for overweight baggage, but why bother taking it when everything you need will be at your beck and call?
Are you one of the many who do not know how to let go of your excess baggage – or maybe you are not aware you are carrying it around? This baggage may be stuffed to the gills with old beliefs or behaviors you have learned to accept and even ignore. You may accept this excess as if it is ‘your lot in life’, or your inability to forgive yourself or someone else.
Worry not – I am here to share a message from my ancestors and spirit collective.
One cannot help but see the stark differences between our presidential candidates. Our current political arena is replete with opportunities for the American voter. The most glaring opportunity, as I see it, is the choice between love and fear.
The choice is quite simple, I do believe, if one applies a basic principle, the principle I have been applying quite effectively, I might add, over the last few decades.
I am of the belief all humans operate from a place of either love or fear. Love is easy to detect. We all know how a loving person feels, looks and acts. Fear, on the other hand, while simply the absence of love, can be challenging to detect. How does a fearful person feel, look, and act? Let’s take a look at that. Once you recognize the telltale signs, your life will take on new meaning. You will become an emotional environmentalist, saving energy every step of your way.
You are your ancestors. You do what you do, say what you say, and make the choices you make because part and parcel, you are living the lives of those who have gone before you. Heck, they may even still be with you.
How many of you have heard yourself say “Oh my God, I sound just like my mother, or I sound just like my father!” (who may be living or deceased)? Chances are you do, because you are. You are your mother, you are your father. Aside from their blood running through your veins, their DNA is intricately intertwined with yours. Studies have proven that emotions, thoughts and behaviors are passed down through the generations.
So what is a person to do?
