Not Everyone Believes

Not everyone believes – and I appreciate that.

Since I sit in service of spirit, I strive to be as available and deliberate as humanly possible. When I am contacted, typically ‘out of the blue’ by someone in spirit, I sit up and take notice, it is difficult not to. All that is required of me is to connect, listen and receive.

I do not know how this works, yet I know it does, those in spirit have seen to it and have proven it time and time again. They connect with me and, at the same time, they connect with their loved one on the earth plane to urge them to reach out to me. New clients may call me in wonderment, not sure why they are calling, but feeling as if they must connect with me. It is within that moment that I know I have a message for him or her.

Spirit’s ability to reach out and connect is astounding and never ceases to amaze me. Read More

We Never Leave

My spirit collective reaches out to me on a regular basis. They have been expressing their concern and doing their best to receive the many souls crossing over. They feel our pain and grief and want us to know they need us as much as we need them.

They share:

We never leave – you do. We are always standing by ready to go.

We may knock and you may not hear us.

We may present ourselves to those who cannot hear us, but we never leave.

And we understand.

We understand that you may get caught up in day to day living.

We understand the challenges and time constraints of being a mere mortal.

And we never leave. We are standing by. Read More

Toughness is not without Tenderness

You need not make a choice.

Although often times one believes this is so.

We are here to tell you or rather share this profound knowledge with you, that toughness is not devoid of tenderness.

In actuality – it is often the most tender of hearts who become the toughest of skin.

Why?  You may ask.

Well, think about that for a moment if you will…

Those with tender hearts, the dreamers, believers, givers – those who love the deepest – are always the ones who fall the hardest and are hurt the deepest.

Together Throughout Eternity

In light of our current collective psyche and as we embark upon a New Year, it is important for you to know that you are not alone.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of tuning into your loved ones in spirit to allow them to illuminate your way, provide you with guidance and strength and simply be here for you. I cannot emphasize how much they need you. And how much an open line of communication reassures them and you.

A most recent message from my spirit collective reinforces this importance;

We never leave you – you do.

We are always standing by ‘RTG’ – ready to go.

We may knock and you do not hear us, we may present ourselves to those who cannot hear, but we never leave.

And, we understand. Read More

Yes, Virginia…

In September of 1897, a curious young girl by the name of Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the editor of The Sun, a New York newspaper, with a burning question; “I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?”

This excerpt is part of a wonderful response provided by the editor, veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church. Virginia’s question and Francis’ response remain my favorite story.

“Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Always With Us

Our loved ones are always with us, in spirit or otherwise. Then why, as the holidays are upon us, do many grieve the loss of their loved one(s)?

I agree that a physical presence is potent – you can embrace, engage, converse and commiserate with a physical being. However, you can do the same with a loved one in spirit – yes, you may even embrace them!

In order to do so, you must simply believe.

How many of you think you may have had an encounter with a loved one in spirit? Perhaps you heard a voice, received a message, saw an image or likeness, inhaled a familiar scent or fragrance. When that thought crosses your mind, do you dismiss it or do you embrace it?

The choice is yours. Read More

Alive or Dead – You Decide

Many of you know I have been connecting and communicating with our loved ones in spirit for decades and many others are surprised, shocked even, when I mention that I talk with the dead. Why do I choose the word dead when those with whom we communicate are very much with us, very much alive, shall we say?

First, please know it is not out of disrespect – many of my favorite, most beloved, people and animals are among the dead. There are all sorts of words or phrases which are used to describe those who are no longer with us on this earth plane or with us in the flesh, such as “crossed over” transitioned or “gone to the other side”. I have chosen the noun dead, as in those who no longer have a life on earth as opposed to existence after death.

Spirit has made it quite clear that a physical form is not necessary to connect and communicate with those in physical form. Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact. Some of my most meaningful conversations are with those who have died and vacated their earthly body. Read More

Return If Possible

While reading tributes for a friend’s daughter who recently passed away (and crying my eyes out as I did) I came across this sentence “I wish RIP meant Return If Possible.” That sentence got me to thinking.

The first thought I had was how comforting is that? I am used to seeing Rest In Peace, or Rest In Power but never Return If Possible.

How many of us would want our deceased loved ones to return if possible?

Then I got to thinking, well, they can, and they do. Return that is. We simply need to trust in that process and their ability to do so, and see it for what it is worth. Read More

Hope Springs Eternal

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;

Man never is, but always to be blessed:

The soul, uneasy and confined from home,

Rests and expatiates in a life to come.*

We are an optimistic lot by nature. We tend to hold on to our hope, though in some sobering situations, it may appear ‘things’ can’t possibly turn out the way we wish they would.

What Will You Leave Behind?

A new year, a new month or a new day typically represents a new beginning. It can serve as an ideal space in time to begin anew. However in order to begin anew you must be ready, willing and able to let go of that which no longer serves you ‒ leave it all behind. Bless it and move along.

While you may be ready and even willing to do that, you may for some unknown reason, be unable to do so. You may continue to repeat that behavior ‒ you know, the one which no longer serves you, but you cannot seem to let go of because you think “next time it will be different.” Albert Einstein once defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Read More
