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

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.

Together Throughout Eternity

In light of our current collective psyche and as we embark upon a New Year, it is important for you to know that you are not alone.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of tuning into your loved ones in spirit to allow them to illuminate your way, provide you with guidance and strength and simply be here for you. I cannot emphasize how much they need you. And how much an open line of communication reassures them and you.

A most recent message from my spirit collective reinforces this importance;

We never leave you – you do.

We are always standing by ‘RTG’ – ready to go.

We may knock and you do not hear us, we may present ourselves to those who cannot hear, but we never leave.

And, we understand. Read More

Yes, Virginia…

In September of 1897, a curious young girl by the name of Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the editor of The Sun, a New York newspaper, with a burning question; “I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?”

This excerpt is part of a wonderful response provided by the editor, veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church. Virginia’s question and Francis’ response remain my favorite story.

“Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Always With Us

Our loved ones are always with us, in spirit or otherwise. Then why, as the holidays are upon us, do many grieve the loss of their loved one(s)?

I agree that a physical presence is potent – you can embrace, engage, converse and commiserate with a physical being. However, you can do the same with a loved one in spirit – yes, you may even embrace them!

In order to do so, you must simply believe.

How many of you think you may have had an encounter with a loved one in spirit? Perhaps you heard a voice, received a message, saw an image or likeness, inhaled a familiar scent or fragrance. When that thought crosses your mind, do you dismiss it or do you embrace it?

The choice is yours. Read More
