Cross That Bridge

Levels of stress, anxiety, worry, sadness and anger among women worldwide are at a 10-year high, according to a new report.

In one of the largest studies on women’s well-being, analytics firm Gallup and medical tech company Hologic, Inc. teamed up to survey over 66,000 women in 122 countries around the world.

Study authors found 43% of respondents said they experienced worry in 2021, 41% reported feeling stress, 32% reported feeling sadness, and 26% reported feeling anger.*

Can you relate to the results of that study? Do you find your levels of stress have increased over the past couple of years and if so, do you find your levels of worry have also increased? An increase of stress or worry certainly increases your chances of feeling sad or angry. These feelings can manifest into depression, rage and even physical ailments.

What’s a woman (or person) to do?

Madame Butterfly

Butterflies represent all positive characteristics of nature; they symbolize beauty, grace, and rebirth. Their life cycle truly epitomizes transformation.

The metamorphosis of the butterfly begins with an egg, from which a caterpillar hatches.  This larval stage is the main feeding stage, where it eats almost constantly, growing at an astonishing rate.  Reaching the ‘right size’ it finds a suitable place to attach itself and begins its pupa stage. Within the hard shell, or chrysalis, it dwells and emerges as a beautiful butterfly.

Such a transformation is awesome, unfolding exactly as nature intends, without any conscious effort.  This requires either total surrender or nothing at all.

An Invitation to Intuition

A New Year appears to be a fine time to commit to a new way of being. I offer a simple solution for an achievable resolution. It will set you up for an amazing new year and beyond. Go ahead – invite intuition into your life. If you and your intuition are already good friends – continue to cultivate your relationship. The benefits are priceless!

********

I know I should listen to my intuition when I don’t listen to my intuition. She is quick to remind me with that ever so breezy afterthought “aha! I knew it… I should have listened.”

How many of us should have, could have, would have, but didn’t? We think we know more than our all-knowing soft voice which whispers to us from our gut, our soul, the essence of our energy which would divinely guide us if we would simply get out of her way and allow her to do that which she does best. But no, we sometimes feel like we know best! And therein lies the opportunity. Read More

The More the Merrier

The first time I connected with my dead mother was two years after she left this earth plane. A colleague of mine had just visited a medium and was astounded by what she had heard. When she shared her experience with me, the first thought that came to my mind was “If my mother knows there is a way for me to get in touch with her and I don’t … I’m going to be in big trouble!”

Not having ever before given much thought to mediums, talking with the dead or connecting with my mother on any level, the idea of now being able to be with her in some way, shape or form intrigued me. Since I lost her unexpectedly … I felt this may be a perfect opportunity to get some closure.

Being of curious nature, I scheduled a session with a woman who did not know me from Eve. After being with her for one hour, I knew in my heart of hearts that while we may no longer inhabit our physical body, we remain very present and accessible. I left that session with a knowing that my mother was not only enjoying herself in the great beyond, but she was as close to me as my own breath. Read More

Life Lessons

Those who have lived before us have lessons to share. The following is a direct download from my spirit collective.

Many of us lived our lives to the fullest. We squeezed life out of each and every moment and took care to enjoy the little things in life: love, family, friendships, a roof over our heads, food on the table, someone to talk to and share our moments with.

Life flew by and before we knew it our time on earth had reached its end. It was time to move on and experience something new.

It was living each moment to its fullest that sped up time – the business of doing, the excitement of being – something to look forward to and something to give to others.

Animals Too!

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 an animal companion and experienced the exact same cycle of emotions as you did when you lost a human 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.

Success is Being Open to Receive

Among my many joys when writing my book The Spirits Speak on Success, was the contribution of our animal companions who gifted us with their voice, their story.

Too Late to Learn

Do you believe you have learned everything you need to know to live a love-infused, productive, fulfilled life? Perhaps you believe you have learned so much your brain is now incapable of taking in, processing and applying new information.

If you think either of those or similar thoughts may be true, please stop right here and now and think again.

I am here to tell you “The amount of information the brain can store in its many trillions of synapses is not infinite, but it is large enough that the amount we can learn is not limited by the brain’s storage capacity.” *

Are you now open to learning more?

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
