Hiatus

Dear Beloved Ones. 

My life in Spirit is a great one, but at this time my physicality is posing challenges that must be addressed.  I wish to thank each and every one of you for your support.  I will return when able.

Love and Light,
Donna

A Valentine's Day Love That Crosses Over

I was honored to have the following article featured on my cousin's website, and thought I would also share it here.

For almost two weeks last year, I watched on, along with family members, as my dad struggled to survive septicemia.  After much discussion, doctors removed his life support, and late in the afternoon on Valentine’s Day, my dad succumbed to the infection which ravaged his body.  

To be honest, I had been worried about the first Anniversary of my dad’s passing since about January when the displays for Valentine’s Day started popping up.  I was concerned about how bad reliving the days were going to be, and I knew that there were understandably going to be some tears.   The day was an honor, but one of the toughest days I have ever experienced.  How could it not be.   I watched someone I love pass away right before my eyes and it was heartbreaking.

But you see, for me, within the world of grieving there is hope.  A twinkle in my eye that reveals a deeper understanding beyond the realm of losing a loved one.  You see, I had a secret.  One I lived with until a Near Death Experience in 2010 drove home why I am here on this planet. 

I am a Psychic Medium.  And, although I had been giving readings quietly over the last 10 years, this experience left me with no choice but to become who I was born to be, live it out loud without shame, and deliver  messages of love that cannot be denied.   Here is one of them:

I believe love knows no boundaries.  I believe that the Spirit within never parishes, but lives on, and the proof is all around us if we choose to see it. 

A week after my father returned to Spirit, something amazing happened.  As my husband and I were driving into our complex, off to the left, between two trees stood a buck.  “At least a four pointer” as my dad would have called it.  In that year of living there, that had never happened, and I knew at once it was a sign from him that he had made it over and was doing just fine now.  It brought tears to my eyes. 

One week after that, this message of hope becomes even more supported by an incident that occurred while I was giving someone an item that belonged to my dad, as he would have wanted it that way.  As I was dropping said item off, I relayed the deer incident to my friend and said jokingly, “Don’t be surprised if you get a sign like that”.  And, wouldn`t you know it, the very next day I received a phone call from my  friend and was told that while sitting in their living room, they just happened to look outside and there, across the street staring into the window was a buck.   Another “at least four pointer”. 

And, just to drive this bone-chilling experience home, there were two more occasions where wildlife showed up.

 On the day we spread some of his ashes at our ``home away from home``, we came up the hill to a herd of elk.  I cannot recall how many times I heard from others, `` trust Don to send the elk.”  For you see, my dad, was a big fisher and hunter.   An ‘Elmer Fudd’ incarnate.  And it would be one of his favorite ways to communicate with his loved ones. 

Finally, as further evidence that we truly never die, on the day we returned some of his ashes to where he and my mother met, two bears ran across the road prior to the spot we had picked.  Even my mom stated something to the effect that it was dad’s way of acknowledging that he liked what we were about to do and wanted to let us know he was with us in Spirit.

So, as Valentine`s Day fast approaches.  Let those Here know that you love them.  Let those There know that you love them and you wish to “hear” from them.  And then, just wait.  Wait for that undeniable sign that the love is being sent right back, across the veil, to your heart. 

I love you dad.  Thank you for letting us know that your love for us will never die.  For it cannot. 

Love is the only reality.

Before I get started I wish to thank my cousin, Kaylee Norton.  I was offered the opportunity of Guest Post at her website http://www.outerstrength-innerpeace.com/  Thank you!


This story expands on my Valentine's Day feature.  It was about marking the Anniversary of  my father's crossing.  And, on February 11th, I was truly going to make a mark.  On my back.

You see, I had an appointment lined up at a local tattoo parlour in order to get my angel wings (finally) and have something done in honor of my dad.

When my husband awoke that morning, one of the first things he said was, "I had a dream that you blew off your tattoo appointment and as you were running down the stairs I asked if you were going to call the tattoo parlor.  You said, 'No.  What I have to take care of is far more important.  I don't have time to make the call. I have to take care of this.' and ran down the stairs and left".

After hearing his recounting of the dream, I responded, "Hmmm.  That's weird.  I have absolutely no intention of cancelling my appointment today.  I'm excited!"  And so it went until the appointment. When I arrived and announced that I was here for my tattoo, I received a quizzical look.  It was then explained they had double booked and that it was their mistake and they would take me in later that day.  I paused to think about it.  Hemmed and hawed, and said, "Okay, I will see you at 4pm then". 

We left, and not fifteen minutes later I found myself asking my husband to take me back.  I had to honor my husband's dream and the fact that I had a "baaaaaad" feeling about this, so I needed to honor it.  Along the way back, I came to the realization that I had booked the appointment three weeks ago.  Booked it for the 14th, changed my mind, phoned the very next day and asked for the 11th.  THREE weeks ago.  It was open then.  It did not get written down and they booked someone.  It didn't feel right anymore, and I needed to not question it and honor the overwhelming gut feeling of "don't do this, it's not time". 

First - husband has a dream about me bailing and it turns out they're the ones that made an error, bumping my appointment.

Second - Having the appointment moved did NOT feel right on numerous levels.  The ego or self raised concern that I shouldn't have been bumped, having booked my appointment first.  Then, the true self kicked in and I realized that I needed to take all factors into consideration, given the events of the day, and truly, truly LISTEN.  This appointment was NOT meant to happen.  And while I might not know why, it just didn't matter because I had to honor my gut.  It never steers me wrong.

I cancelled my appointment and requested my deposit back based on those grounds.  It was given and I am grateful.  I have no ill will towards the parlour.  It was CLEARLY the Universe's way of saying not yet. 

And, while I might not know why just yet.  I will be shown, and have complete and utter Faith that it will.  For when we truly listen, the answer will be revealed.

Love and Light.

PS  On February 13th I recounted the tale to my mother over lunch.  And...........wait for it........."Your dad hates tattoos and he wouldn't want you doing that for him".  Hmmmmmmm..........the Universe works in mysterious ways............I love it!

It's Time

Okay, so, I have to tell you that sometimes I sit down to my computer and say out loud, "What is needed to be learned?"  And today, that topic is "Time". 

It's 5:41pm on Friday, January 27, 2012 and I am sitting at my computer starting this blog.  I am doing what I call "tuning in".  I connect with the Other Side and allow my fingers to be directed from Spirit.  It is at this time that I ask my guides, angels, archangels, and Source to be my help, and I consider these words to be inspired.  They help while I'm Here and, in order to get the words and concepts correct, I enlist their help and the help of Archangel Metatron.  So, now you know a little something about who I am and how you can help be inspired. 

So, what is it that I have to say about time?  It is this:

Time does not exist on the Other Side.  It is a concept created by man in a physical world.  And, if you are having a hard time grasping that, go back to the above paragraph and see just how much time truly is involved in being here in the physical world.  We are "short on time", "out of time" and sometimes "time flies".  there isn't a day that goes by without the constraints of time.

When working with the Other Side, we must remember that time does not exist over There.  What happens Here in a year is like a milllisecond over there.  And, sometimes when we make requests or petitions to the Other Side for guidance or a sign that our loved one is around, it can take "time" for that sign to make itself known.  Sometimes the sign can happen instantaneously, but we also have to remember that the more open to the experience of connection, the easier and quicker signs can happen.

What can work best is actually taking some time for yourself away from all distractions.  Some meditative time as it were.  Please know that meditation takes many forms and can be something as simple as cleaning.  Yes, I know it's not one of our faves, but have you ever noticed that when you engage in something that distracts your physical body it allows your brain to take a break?  When this break occurs, thoughts flow easily and it is at that time that Divine guidance happens easier.  Personally, baking is one of those times and yes, housekeeping works for me too.  Sick, but true, LOL.

Anyways, when we allow ourselves a brain break from the every day, we are afforded an opportunity to connect with who we really are, a spiritual being residing in physical form.  Nourishing our Spirit takes time out of our regularly scheduled day and requires an effort on our part.

As the days go by, and time is taken to connect with Source, the easier our days here will get.  Our loved ones, angels and Source want our journey to be full of Divine experiences.  They want you to know that they are there ANY time we ask. 

It's just a matter of taking...........the time.

The Perfect Trifecta

When one has been through a traumatic time, the effects can be devastating on Body, Mind, and Spirit.  And, if there has been a prolonged period of obstacles, until the dust has settled, it can be difficult to even know which end is up anymore.

Personally, having had been on high alert over the past several years, the last several months have been the path back to calm.  While I made sure that my soul was nurtured and my body nourished, I truly hadn't been afforded the time to unwind.

I now find myself literally unwinding. 

You see, I've talked about the surgery I had two years ago.  But what I never really talked about was the fact that ever since that time my health spiralled.  And, literally it has spiralled me.  It seems I am literally one twisted individual and I loved it today when the chiropractor I saw stated, "Let's get your head on straight".  Of course, a quick-witted banter broke out between the two of us, starting with me stating, "My head has never been screwed on straight so why start now', but eventually ended up with me hearing the following:

"You have one leg one-inch shorter than the other at the moment because your left hip is out because it is being pulled by surgery scar tissue (way deep inside).  Your left hip is hiked and twisted forward, and your right leg is twisting in because of the counterpulls.  It's causing your spine to twist which is in turn causing all the problems you are experiencing".

And, to top it all off, fascial tissue (think of a wire covered by plastic - that plastic is fascia and from muscle spindle to muscle groups, we have layers of it) has adhered to vital organs which in turn has caused dysfunction which in turn has been a contributing factor to unwellness. 

As I drove home from my visit my thought process was, "Donna, you really did get wound up.  And now, you are unwinding your way to wellness".  How lucky am I?

It truly is a strong reminder that in order to be the best person I can be and fulfill my earthly contract, I have to be the best possible me.  And this involves the perfect trifecta - Body, Mind, and Spirit (in no particular order).

Within us resides an energy known as Kundalini and here is a link for those who have not yet heard, or don't quite understand, the term:

http://www.adishakti.org/subtle_system/kundalini.htm

Our spine is our core and if nothing flows freely from there, nothing can flow freely.  Right down to blockages in work for someone like me.  And, guess what?  Yep, you guessed it.  I had an experience with Kundalini after my second chiro appointment and this experience has left my fully realized as a Medium, Channeler, Psychic and more. 

I did not think my life could get anymore profound until I found myself standing still after that second chiro appointment as all of my past, present, and future timelines were shown to me becoming what they needed to be.......ONE. 

Time is only a concept created by man and, I have come to learn that all timelines exist as one because time truly doesn't exist.  Every single piece of knowledge we have acquired through our lifetimes here or out there are accessed via this energy.  And, through all of my timelines one thing has made itself crystal clear.  I am, and always will be, a Healer.

Healers not only have the mandate to heal others, but we have the mandate to heal ourselves as best as not pre-genetically ordained.  And, when I had a group reading the other night.  The message came loud and clear.  The more clear my energy is, the more clear my connection.  This weekend marked one of my most extraordinary groups to date.

I understand now just how important it is to not forget about any of your facets along the way.  Being unwell in any area keeps us from resonating at the frequency, or vibration, that we are meant to.  It can hinder what needs to be accomplished during our journey here.  And our journey here is very important, regardless of what that journey looks like.

Me, I realize that each day my journey begins anew with my true timeline resonating as that of the healer I consider myself to be.  I cannot do it alone, and I know that the Cosmic Design Committee put the right people in my path at the right time to allow me to be the best possible person I can be.

I am reminded daily of just how clear my connection to Source is and it is my wish for you all to resonate at the frequency you need to in order to walk the path of your Soul Chart.  And, sometimes it takes someone willing to be an object lesson of just how important that is. 

Personally, I'm happy to be that quiet reminder to others.

Shedding Light on Near Death Experiences

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I firmly believe that before we come here, we have Soul Charts arranged that guide us through an earthly experience.  We have a final Exit Point and numerous (3 to you name it) potential Exit Points along the way.  They are truly brushes with death of the physical form and a return to Spirit.

I was reminded of my first NDE and it occurred at the age of 5.  Truly, I hadn't thought about it until I was visiting with a "Sage" friend of mine and she "tapped in" and asked me what happened at 5.

You see, I was born with one kidney (I consider myself streamlined, LOL), and what there was of the other kidney atrophied.  At 5, the atrophy occurred and spiked a huge fever and fever blisters all over my arm.  At the time, it was chalked up to an infection, I was put on antibiotics, and my life returned to normal.  Sort of.

With the ability to see making itself known at the age of three, the point was driven home by my brush with death.  I have talked before about children being close to Spirit as we just arrived from the Other Side, and the connection between Here and There is the strongest.  For me, it was the solidifying of the relationship I was to have with Spirit. 

When we have a brush with death of the physical body, the veil to the Other Side thins, leaving you with more connection to Spirit than some can handle.  It is not something one can prepare for, and the soul must be treated delicately through this time. 

My last Near Death Experience was my closest and most aware brush with my physical death and left me forever changed.

Believing that things happen for a reason, I know that for me, it drove home the point of the work I must do, and just how strong my will was to live.  At the time of the choking accident, and close to passing out, I found myself above the fireplace looking down at my body, knowing that if I didn't do something shortly, I was not going to be Here anymore. 

It's amazing how many thoughts can run through your head in three minutes (takes four to die from choking) and it was definitely, "I am not going to have death by Skittle on my gravestone.  I am about to die if I don't do something and I don't have time for this.  I have too much work to do."  So, I saved myself with the Heimlich maneuver.

Having had a good relationship with Spirit as I entered my adult years, the relationship with the Other Side and the work I am supposed to do now had a firm grip on my existence Here. 

When someone who may or may not be connected to Spirit has a Near Death Experience, their life can forever be changed.  Pushing them forward into their own relationship with Spirit.

I know how it is to hear voices and see things that others can't, and I truly know how unsettling it would be to someone who had their energy closed to the Other Side, have it suddenly be wide open.  (I must add here that not everyone who has a brush with physical death will have the experiences with the Other Side, but there are many reported cases out there of people who have been to the Other Side and back.)

What I want those who remember to understand, is that you were allowed to see the Other Side for a reason.  And while it may not be because you are supposed to be out there helping others connect, the journey occurred in order for you to remember something about yourself.  Whether it creates a whole new way of looking at the Universe, understanding that there's more to life than just this physical world, or whether it's gratitude to have your life.  A Near Death Experience enriches our lives in some way.

If you have found yourself receiving messages from the Other Side, more visits from souls or just knowing things you couldn't possibly, know this.  You have been given a gift from the Other Side.  The chance to make your life better.  Connecting with one's own Spirit is the truest life we can live.

For me, I've never looked back from my last Near Death Experience and the Other Side.  But I have grown up with Spirit in my life.  If you haven't and this is all new, remember you have a care team, and they are there to lovingly guide you through this experience.

I always tell people that they survived for a reason, and it is a gift to have survived.  One is to make their lives enriched through this and grow into the Spiritual person they are supposed to be.

Honor the process and you not only honor the Other Side, but you honor yourself.

Blessings
