Happy Sleep

Leonardo DaVinci once said “As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.” Add that quote to one of my own, favorite quotes; “We take ourselves with us when we go” and you have an ideal recipe for an excellent life and afterlife.

We do indeed take ourselves with us and as we live in this lifetime, so shall we live during our after-lifetime.

I have connected and communicated with many spirits who lived less than well spent days. They were faced with reconciling their less than well spent days before moving on to tranquility and a sense of peace. In my experience, there is no escaping the truth. I have learned your slate is not wiped clean once you transition. You take yourself with you. Let that sink in. Read More

Rise Up!

Now is not the time for complacency.

Many are feeling worn out, ground down, and listless.

Rise up we say!

Rise up and reach for the heavens. Stretch. Literally and figuratively.

Stand with your feet securely on the ground, spread a few inches apart, brace and balance yourself and reach skyward. Extend your entire self and as you do so, exhale.

Make noise and feel the space in between you cells expanding.

Inhale.
Exhale.

Rise up and stretch. 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

Collective Sigh of Relief

The events of these past 16 months have tested our patience, resilience and faith.
The effects of the pandemic brought out the best in many and the worst in many.

Many rose to the occasion and achieved their personal best to make a challenging period of time more rewarding and beneficial for themselves and others while many contributed to the angst, frustration and negative newness of it all.

Family and friends suffered losses – of businesses, livelihoods, health and most of all loved ones. We as a collective suffered more deaths as a result of this pandemic than deaths during World War II.

As we approach Memorial Day, “the day of honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces,” I believe it is also fitting to honor those who have lost their lives during the pandemic. I am not alone in my beliefs. 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.

Love is the Antidote

The collective sigh of relief was felt by those around the world and by those in the afterlife.
Yes, we felt it. Yes, we shared it. Yes, breathed it in and exhaled it out, right along with you.

There has been an inordinate amount of pain and suffering, unrest and worry, divisiveness and distrust. And conversely, there has been a considerable amount of love, hope, belief and goodness.

We have been and will continue focusing on goodness, on the light penetrating through the darkness and on illumination giving way to love and fellowship. Fellowship in the sense of brotherly and sisterly love. Read More

High Hopes

We bid adieu to a year which has challenged and pushed us to dig deep within, within to the very best of who we are.

While we were digging in, we were also reaching out with compassion, generosity patience and love.

Congratulations – we’ve made it this far. Some more tattered and threadbare, others, stronger and more determined than they were when 2020 began. Of one thing I am sure, we are all wealthier for and better positioned because of the love we have given and received. Friendship, caring and camaraderie has overflowed throughout this entire year. And for that I am grateful.

The End Is Near

“And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain.”* Yes, the end of a long, yet seemingly short year approaches. A year filled with angst, disappointment, provocation, sickness, death, isolation, heartache, strife; running parallel with joy, bonding, and a sense of coming together in love, belief and hope. Can anyone honestly say this has been nothing shy of a tumultuous roller coaster ride?

We have weathered many storms and while many storms continue to test us, we have persevered and stand united with a powerful undertone of camaraderie and love. I do believe we will continue to persevere and share our faith, our support and our love for one another. Read More

Vote for Love or Fear

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.

Guilt-Less

“Why did he do it?” “If only I had asked.” “I could have spent more time with her.” “But I never told him how I feel.“ These and many other questions race through your mind. They pop up when you least expect them, overlay a feeling of guilt and send you into a deep funk.

And I mean a really deep funk and really oppressive guilt. The type of funk which leaves you feeling as if you weigh a million pounds, making it difficult for you to move. Maybe it causes you to feel so sad that you cannot get out of bed, or off the couch. Perhaps you are the type of person who seeks solace in food, good old fashioned comfort food.

Whichever type of funk you may find yourself in, or no matter how oppressive your perceived guilt makes your feel, I am here to let you know you have options.
