Set Your Table to Include Your Loved Ones

The holidays are fast approaching and your ancestors and loved ones in spirit long to participate in your family gatherings. I am reminded time and time again of their need to be acknowledged and to be ‘a part of’.

They, your loved ones in spirit, strive to make a connection with you – some do, many do not. I give them credit because they never relinquish that ‘spirit’, they never give up trying. Take comfort in the knowing that they will never give up, no never –not until they connect and communicate with you.

I am also told you can make it a great deal easier for them to connect with you if you tune in and surrender your skepticism. Simply give the possibility of connecting a try. Read More

Begin Where You Are

Begin where you are.

There is no better starting point than where you are.
And only you are where you are.

So – you are starting at the ideal place with the ideal resources…

Where you are.

With yourself. Read More

Hallowed Help

Witches and goblins and ghosts, oh my!
Make sure you sleep with an open eye.

You will want to make sure that you will see,
The souls of your loved ones who will visit thee!

All Hallows’ Eve, when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is the thinnest, making accessibility that much easier, is not the only ideal time for spirits pay a visit. Sure, the energy is ripe for connecting; it’s electrifying, exciting and inviting, if I do say so myself, but it’s not the only time to connect.

Any day, night or day, any season, is an ideal time to reach out, connect and communicate. I can vouch for the willingness and readiness of your loved ones; I sense their desire to spend time with you. Often their desire feels like an imperative. Read More

Numerical Positivity

Seven, eleven, 15, 17… numbers in general elicit my child-like curiosity. I add a string of numbers together and look up their meaning. I save the slip of paper from the deli-counter* and look at the number when I return home, I see messages in numbers on a license plate – you name it, I am intrigued by them and I always need to know the interpretation of that number.

Years ago I purchased Doreen Virtue’s book, Angel Numbers 101, and to this day, I constantly refer to it. Recently I found myself thumbing through the pages to look up the number 25, as a friend of mine was celebrating an anniversary. The angelically guided meaning of the number 25 stated “As you go through major life changes, expect the best and your optimism will be rewarded.”

This immediately brings to mind advice I received during my first AA meeting, over two decades ago…“If you never have expectations, you will never be disappointed.” I’m not sure the angels are suggesting that with their guided meaning of the number 25. Read More

Bona Fide Independence ~ Booyah!

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” *

If there is any truth to that quote then there are a high percentage of people in this world who could be categorized as insane. Would you agree?

The more you keep repeating the same patterns, the less your life changes and the deeper the hole in which you live becomes. What is a person to do?

If you wonder why your life hasn’t changed for the better, or why your current situation hasn’t improved, you may want to consider evaluating your current behavior, or taking a different approach to the way you do something. Have you ever stopped to wonder why you may be stuck in an endless loop or why you feel as if you are out of options?

Resurrect Your Own Life with Help from the Afterlife

What is the afterlife, you may be wondering. Merriam-Webster defines it as “an existence after death, a later period in one’s life.” Dictionary.com defines it as “a future life, the later part of a person’s life.” I define it as ‘life after life, from life in the physical form to life in the spirit form’. Some refer to the afterlife as life on the ‘other side’.

Janis Joplin* believes there is no such place as ‘the other side’. How would I know what Janis Joplin believes? I know because she told me so. Yes, Janis contributed her own ‘take’ on success to the many stories included in my book The Spirits Speak on Success. Janis believes there is no such place as ‘the other side’ and goes on to say “the other side is not really the other side – we are very much with you on your side – we are simply in another form – free floating, transparent, energy without matter. We are all one, and we cohabitate together. It is not the other side; it is this side without form.”

Is the afterlife a place or a state of being, or both? Read More

Express Thyself ~ Don’t Repress Thyself

Are you aware of the fact that We, the People, are in the midst of a revolution and your participation is needed? Can you feel the electrified energy calling you forth?

Opinions and thoughts swirling around us are so plentiful it is difficult to maintain a sense of balance, let alone a sense of humor, or decorum.

What do you do in the midst of strife, differences of opinion and the perceived dismantling of our ‘norms’? How do you maintain balance, keep yourself in ‘check’ and find levity in the moment, while simultaneously expressing your opinions and speaking up for yourself, if you are, in fact, self-expressing on a daily basis?

Happy New Year ~ Happy You Dear

The New Year typically kicks off with you making resolutions and lists of everything in your life that isn’t going well, from having too much weight, to having too little savings. Then you make list of goals, outlining your intentions.

Did you know statistics have proven that while approximately 40% of Americans make resolutions, only 8% to 10% achieve their goals? Since the odds appear to be stacked against you, why not take a different approach this year?

Rather than focusing on the areas of your life you would like to improve upon, how about you focus on the areas of your life that are going well? It has been my experience that you may easily find fault with something about yourself, something negative, and do a really good job of beating yourself up because of it. Read More

The Spirits Speak – Do You? Part II

This is not the time to sit back and relax, withdraw or not say one word. This is the time to take a stand for what you believe in, be seen and speak out.

We certainly can speak out against injustices, or speak up for what we believe in, but our loved ones in spirit are not able to do so. They come forth en masse, asking us to be their voices, to speak for them, help them self-express.

The Spirits Speak – Do You?

Spirits of our dearly departed, our loved ones in heaven, speak up and out on a regular basis. They are constantly reaching out in an attempt to make a connection and when they do connect, they sure do speak up and out!

My business is sustained primarily through ‘word of mouth’ and I know for a fact, many of my clients have been referred to me via their loved ones in spirit, (speaking up and out) of which I am appreciative.

However, we, the ‘collective people’ we, could certainly benefit from more conversations and sharing of feelings.

Not too many people are speaking up and out. Those in spirit are. People… not so much.
