It’s Never Too Late…

You awaken one morning filled with an overpowering; undeniable urge to gain clarity around a situation that only one person in your life can shed light upon. If only you were able to have that one question answered, the pieces would fit together.

But before your feet land on the carpet, you pause as you remember that one person is no longer accessible. He or she transitioned into spirit. Their advice, possible solution, wisdom, call it what you will, would be invaluable and precisely what you would need to complete your puzzle and hopefully move on.

Or… will you be stuck in limbo without an answer with an incomplete puzzle forever and will you be destined to repeat the same behavior ad nauseam, spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, or will you seek an alternative, take an outside-the-box approach, or perhaps, go directly to the source?

Plant A Garden

More and more women are reaching out feeling the need to connect with their deceased mothers as more and more spirits of mothers are reaching out to connect with their daughters. Is it due to the chord being struck during the month of May? I wonder?

I am familiar with all different types of love…love of and from brothers, sisters, friends, partners, animal companions, nature, good food, you name it, I could go on and on. However, after the (sudden) death of my mother I experienced the stark realization that no one and I mean no one, loves you like your mother! Her physical absence from my life left a huge, gaping hole and a dread of never experiencing the feeling of being loved by anyone like that again. Read More

All Good Dogs…

Have you noticed lately, more and more of our animal companions are being called back home, leaving this earth plane and crossing over the rainbow bridge?

While it is comforting to know our loved ones, who are restored to perfect health, will be waiting for us on the grassy meadow, it can be heartbreaking and grief inducing, for those of us who are left behind.

I have found it comforting to take time to reflect on a life well lived, a friendship, nay, a love, which has been cultivated and cherished. It does both souls good to remember your loved one(s) in a written eulogy. This cathartic act of expression helps to ground me as I slog through my period of grief. Read More

Forgive and Forget

Grudges do not feed a soul nor do they make a soul successful – do not take grudges to the grave.

We are sometimes fueled by a good grudge. The anger keeps us going. The longer we’re angry, the more fuel we have to burn, the larger the flame. The more power we give to the grudge – or holding the grudge – and before we know it, the grudge has completely consumed us and there’s no going back – no putting out the fire.

So my suggestions for a happy, productive life is do not take grudges to the grave.

Forgive, forget and enjoy life.

An Extra Day in Time

If time is our most valuable asset, why do many of us disregard rather than capitalize on it? It is as if we are unable or unwilling to grasp the full value of this asset until we have nearly depleted it.

One thing I know for sure, from connecting, communicating and being of service to those in spirit, is that time is precious. Time is undoubtedly their most treasured asset. (Time and love.) Time is number one on their list of that which they wish they had had more of, while on the earth plane.

I know many of you feel the same way, especially after a loved one passes. The regret can overwhelm you. “If only I had said, done, offered, listened, helped. If only I had ten more minutes.”

Wave of Awakenings

Now is the time for all good women to step up, step forward, carry the lanterns of light and initiate change.

We are a collective of women from past generations who have bound together to bring forth the light.

We are gathering en masse to assist through this dark period.

It is NOT as dark as the darkness of past – and it holds great possibility and hope but we must march – we are marching and we know we will make a difference –

The question is – will you? Read More

Many are bracing themselves, others are waiting with open arms while others have no thoughts whatsoever on the matter.

The contents of the bags which I refer to may dictate how your holidays pan out. Will they be a delight or a disaster? Read More

Thinking of You

Boo! Boo! I am thinking of you!

Tell me who you would want to come through.

Connect with them now, connect with them often.

They may be ‘gone’ but they’re not forgotten.

They think of you also and want you to reach out.

Give it a try – erase all your doubt.

Ask what you want to, don’t hesitate,

We have only now, so why would you wait?

 

Happy Halloween!

It’s The Little Things

It’s the little things in life that make the biggest impacts and often go unnoticed; it’s the little things in life that bring the greatest amount of joy.

Have you been missing out on the little things in life, on the receiving and giving of the little things?

It’s no surprise, if after pausing to think about that question, you find yourself replying “well yes, I do believe I am.”

So much is happening all at once. We’ve got so much to do, so many places to go, people who depend upon us, oodles of responsibilities requiring our attention, and to top it off we are constantly inundated with “instant everything”.

Main stream media, social media, media, media, media coming at us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are spending less time with our families and more time and money on fast food takeout. As a country we spend 10% of our annual income ($110 billion dollars a year collectively) on fast food. Operative word fast. Read More
