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.

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

Be Like the Solstice Sun

Many of you are making up for ‘lost time’, the time you were previously confined to your home, the time you were unable to visit with family and friends, or the time you were simply unable to go about your business.

Nowadays there appears to be a certain type of frenetic energy afoot, people running here and there, returning to their daily routines.

But what do you think happens when you go, go, go all the time? You will most likely burn yourself out, find it difficult to catch your breath or wind up running on empty until you peter out altogether.

It does not have to be that way.

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

A Mother’s Connection is Eternal

Are you among the hundreds and thousands of women and men who feel a deep sadness and experience an indescribable emptiness concerning the ‘loss’ of your mother, during the month of May?

You cannot help but be reminded of her absence when you are bombarded with an overabundance of flower vendors set up on street corners, jewelry ads running around the clock on the television, and colorful greeting cards adorned with flowers and words celebrating mothers.

Now don’t get me wrong – I love celebrating mothers, and Lord knows they deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated. I remember the first Mother’s Day after my mother, Leah’s, passing – I bought cards for every mother I knew. It was my way of expressing my love and gratitude for my mother.

When the month of May rolls in, there can be a twinge, a bit of a challenge to get through ‘the day’, if your mother is no longer in the physical form. That ‘loss’ pulls at your heart strings and turns an otherwise celebratory day, into a day of sadness and sometimes regret. 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.

Time ~ A Precious Commodity

If you cannot be all things to all beings, be the best you can be to those with whom you share your life. Rather than stretching yourself thin and doing something half-baked, spread yourself thick and do it wholeheartedly. Many attempt to be all things to all beings and fail miserably or otherwise, which only makes the situation, or yourself, worse off.

While there is something to be said for spontaneity – bravo – there is also something to be said for thinking things through and moving forward with forethought and gusto.

Time is your most precious commodity and often time gets shortchanged because you live with the illusion that it is plentiful and never-ending. That is what you are led to believe. However, that is not the truth of it all. Read More
