Sound Like Anyone You Know??!!

So, I spent the day couch and internet surfing since I surrendered to my cold. How quickly I was reminded of the fact that everything happens for a reason. Bored, I needed to do some further research to get pushed in the direction I am needing at this time. For those that know me, I want you to read the following, and tell me how much that does sound like me. For those that don't and are reading this, I ask if you know someone that fits the descriptors below. What follows is how I see the story of my life and some of these traits are recently added to my repertoire:


Have an inherent sense of the connection to all things - Universe and Oneness
Are highly intelligent - in their OWN unique way.
Are very creative and enjoy making things, especially working with their hands.
They know that they are different, and have felt that through their lives - as if they are "wired" differently internally.
They question everything. Always need to know WHY, especially why they are being asked to do something. A typical answer to a question or statement is WHY are you asking? WHY do you want to know?
Will often reject things, situations or people that aren't worth their time or energy
Experience great boredom in school and rebelled inwardly or externally against "homework", authoritive figures and school structures.
Have a strong connection or are involved with animal and human rights situations.
Have a strong connection with nature - animals, trees, plants, water.
Often feel like they have better relationships with animals than with people.
Have a strong sense of ethics and justice
May experience depression, apathy, cynicism, contemplated suicide especially in teenage/adolescent years
Have had a sense of betrayal in life people and subsequent trust issues.
Prefer cooperative efforts, leadership positions, or working alone.
Have deep empathy and compassion for people.
Love being touched and hugged - may have been very devoid of that growing up, and now crave it.
Are intolerant of stupidity - behavior, actions, words, viewpoints
Have felt very misunderstood through their life.
Have a deep longing to find others like them - kindred spirits, soulmates, twin souls.
Show the full range of the emotional spectrum - from spontaneous and instant crying to lack of expression.
May have difficulty expressing anger constructively.
May go through a period of "dark night of the soul" where they feel they have gone to "hell and back".
They rebel against systems they consider dysfunctional, broken, ineffective ie. political, educational, relationship, medical, legal.
Do not hold any biases towards sexuality and gender - may be explorative with alternative forms of sexuality.
They feel a burning desire to do something to change and improve the world. May be stumped or confused about what to do. May have trouble identifying their path.
Showing or having psychic or spiritual interest or abilities fairly young - in or before teen years.
Had few if any Indigo role models and support structures.
Are highly intuitive - very psychic - can show gifts in healing, telepathy, telekinesis, etc.
Random behavior or thought pattern (symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD))
May have trouble focusing on assigned tasks, start tasks but never finish.
May often start sentences and never finish because the thought is already "way ahead of the mouth".
Are mentally and energetically very speedy - are capable of retaining large amounts of information and memory.
Are very sensitive in all areas - food, additives, emotional, chemicals, electrical, pesticides
May have awareness of other dimensions and parallel realities.
Will go through a time of awakening and seeking a deeper meaning to their life and understanding about the world and how they fit in.

They're called Indigo Adults, and when I read the descriptors I would've fallen over backwards if I wasn't already on the couch. Beyond a shadow of a doubt I am an Indigo Adult. I had no idea until today. I am finally glad to be "home". I have arrived.

I had the experience of remoting in to two preemies today. Right down to knowing about the heart murmur one of them has. I knew they were baby boys. I was asked if I knew the person when I talked about these two. I, replied, "No.".....to which was said, "Do you know them?"......"Nope", I replied. "But how did you...". To which I replied, I remoted viewed. I'm psychic. Or as I now say, clairvoyant. Blessings to the babies. They are surrounded in love.

Where I'm at Today

PLEASE: Before you cast judgement if you are a non-believer, I ask that you read this through first before making any decision as to whether or not I belong in a loonie bin. The answer to that is “No, I don’t”, and I am telling you that I am perfectly sane. Ask any of my closest friends, and more importantly, my husband. I am a very responsible human being on this planet.

Before I head into my regular diatribe, I must lay the following groundwork:

1) As of this blog, I have had the world’s most incredible experience. I have come to full abilities as a healer, and I mean full. I now understand why John Edwards raises concerns about those of us newly aware of our abilities. It is not for dabblers. It is NOT for those faint of heart. We are the wounded ones on the planet who have been given the gift of our sixth sense. This is an enormous responsibility. It is the responsibility of knowing what I know, and what information I give to people. Because I have enough respect for humankind, I will help with past life stuff because it’s over, and I will only speak to present situations, because the future is not mine or ANYONE’s to know. With that said, yes. I do know the future. Not all details, because I have my own map, but because of information I have access to. So don’t ask me if I know the future because you now have the answer, and the answer to your future questions will not be answered. And so, with this new found extreme responsibility, and only because Sylvia Browne has talked about this location many times in many of her books, I can let you know the same thing.

2) Know these two things that I am allowed to share. A) This planet is hereby known as human and ethereal. Home is where the ethereal beings live and this planet is where we live when we decide to inhabit a human form. B) The Hall of Records that Sylvia Brown mentions exists. I have seen it first hand.

I am a firm believer in prayer, and finally, on Sunday night, I folded my hands together and said, “Please God, if you’re listening, help me! I have been in pain and bedridden for two weeks and I need to know why, this is hurting”. Well, I’ll be darned if an angel didn’t sweep in and envelop me in gold. His name is Jonathan, and he is my Angel. I have had a few guides over the years, but none so beautiful as him. Do not get me wrong, not one of my guides is lesser than another. I love them all equally. We are human or we are ethereal, those are the only two choices we have. And life in human form is full of choices.

Yesterday, when visiting a friend, we were having a nice relaxing morning when Jonathan decided to show me the Hall of Records. It was something I asked for because if I was going to finally embrace everything that comes with this and acknowledge my journey (i.e. lymphedema, myofascial pain – wounded warrior/psychic), I deserve the right to full access. Because that’s my path! You see, I now know why I’m psychic. I am also allowed to share it, because in sharing it, I open the door to those who may be experiencing this same awakening. We are awakening as Light Beings. I’ll explain Light Beings in a minute.

My path is this. Physical Ailments in Exchange for Being Aware You Are a Light Being. Again, my path comes with great responsibility so I will be omitting the most sacred of experiences or information. I will bring the “Light News” with a few important warnings to heed, as I am not the first to bring these things up. A few of the Light Beings already have.

So, I am going to close this particular blog with my latest parlor trick. Now please know that I have the upmost respect for my new awareness and abilities and I must tell you that I do not have “powers” I have a gift. It is, like any gift, treated with love and respect. I just make the odd crack in order to make us all laugh and realize there is a lighter side to this journey for all of us.

Back to my parlor trick. I went over to visit some friends to tell them about my latest personal adventure and my one friend looks at me and says, “So do you think you can help me find my remote? If I can’t find it we may have to get a new TV.” She had been looking for it for months, so I agreed to help her find it by doing what’s called a remote viewing. I turned to my friend and said, “In the garage, left hand side, up on the shelf in a box”. Well, we walked down the hallway to the garage, turned on the light, and on my left wasn’t the wall. It was on the right and had been shown a reverse image. I was shown from walking in through the garage not through the hall door. Ha ha. When I faced from the garage, up on the shelf was the box, my friend said she looked in there and I told her it was in there. So, after insisting we pull it down, my friend started digging. Halfway down my friend said, “Donna, it’s not here”, to which I replied, “Would you just keep digging down in that corner”. Then came the pause. “Donna” she said. “I know” I said. And she pulled out her remote control………………..


……………Hall of Records Next Time!

Listen Up Peeps!

While this post is a bit contrary to my nature (bright, cheery, optimistic), a planetary warning needs saying. We are in trouble humans........BIG trouble! The crossroads is coming, and I say this now in hopes that this blog will start the change in humankind that needs to happen. Two things are going extremely wrong on this planet and it has EVERYTHING to do with how we treat the planet and those people on it. It's time for a little bit more love and a lot less hate!

The first thing I recommend is watching "The Age of Stupid". While there is no real plot to this documentary style movie (and I use the word movie very loosely), there is very valuable information. It was released in 2008 and contains very relevant information to the time we are living in and ties in to what I think is going on with this planet. Get your hands on "The Cove" and "Food Inc." while you're at it. All I'm going to ask for is Dr. Phil's 80% solution in your home. I do my level best (which probably isn't even enough and I am looking for ways to do more) to treat this planet and the people on it with as much respect as possible, and we all need to start doing a better job of it in any way possible. Here's my take on this planet:

1) The Industrial Age is killing us. I know, I know, there is no stopping technology, and technology has brought some pretty amazing things to this planet, but we have to balance it with our ecology, and THAT isn't happening. "The Age of Stupid" hits on a very important fact. The temperature of this planet is rising and it cannot rise two degrees above the pre-industrial age or we are in BIG trouble. Consumerism and the "I wants" are on the rise, and I readily admit I am just as guilty as the next. I fully admit it. However, as each day goes by I am doing more and more and learning more and more about ways to cut down on our consumption, particularly the largest consumption of all.........fossil fuel. Now, I don't have the money to invest in a green home (and lord knows if I ever find myself on that end of the lottery, it will be the first thing I invest in), but I sure can find ways to minimize consumption within my home. You know, computers off at the end of the night, lights on ONLY when necessary, buying local produce, eating less meat, etc. And yes, buying local produce and eating less meat cuts down on fuel consumption.

According to one scientist on "The Age of Stupid", we have until 2015 to solve the problem, or it's going to be too late for us. We will raise the earth's temperature and we will bring ourselves to our own demise. That's five years people, five years.

I can hear you thinking, you're thinking, "Well I can't do anything about it, I'm just one person, I don't make a difference". There are 6.8 Billion people on this planet, and of all the ironic things it's the North American continent that's the biggest offender. Bigger, Faster, Stronger, Better!

So here it is, 50 ways you can do your part. They're not hard, not at all. I even learned some new ways to conserve off of this list. NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!

http://www.50waystohelp.com/

And now onto my next point:

2) Stop behaving badly people! We are such a mean society! We do ourselves a disservice and we particularly do our children a disservice. While I understand that our society has been pushed to the brink of destruction because of the "I wants", we've done it to ourselves! I know I'm guilty of this too. I'm still trying to adjust to the fact that all this new technology is the way this planet is going, but the old-fashioned me still goes back to the traditional roots of reading, sewing, crafting, etc. Okay yes, I am blogging, but it's for a good cause! I love my planet and I mean LOVE!

I don't have to have the TV on 24/7, I do take time to invest in my home and my loved ones, and I always have a smile for any stranger. I do at least one good deed a day for another human being. This is from the simple smile to putting money in a parking meter. I've been known to bring someone homebaked goodies just because, and I volunteer in my community.

WE HAVE TO START BEING NICER EVERYONE! Not just in words, but in deeds. It's like the saying goes, "Actions speak stronger than words".

Now don't get me wrong, I have my moments of disillusionment and get crabby about it, but start seeing the freakin' glass half full cuz that's the other part ouf our problem on this planet!

Shut the effing computer off and take some time to actually DO something!!!!!!!

We have driven our family structure into the freakin' ground because of the "I wants", which in turn has driven families to two incomes in order to "survive". I know, I know, houses are expensive, rent is expensive, it costs to put food on the table, but really?

My nephew got given a Nintendo DS for his birthday. Wanna know how old he is? 7........SEVEN!!!!!!!!! What the hell are you doing? (Just for the record my family - brother and girlfriend included, did NOT buy it for him) No seven year old should own such a thing. And as for cell phones in school..........REALLY? You've got Twits that Twot Tweets and FBing, and OMGing going on. Social skills, school skills, and life skills are going out the window. If you must buy into these things because your child "wants them", and I'm talking particularly cell phones, make them pay for it!!!! That's what allowance is for right?

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is this, and here's where the psychic me comes in. We are steering at full speed towards a monumental crossroads. One this planet has never seen and will never see again I hope. Every single one of my bells and whistles is going off about this too. Before Obama is finished his Presidency, this planet is going to see an act of human cruelty that will make 9/11 pale in comparison (Obama's presidency will end after his one and only term and that is not a prediction, it's observations from watching all that is happening politically). If we as humans recognize it for the Global Wake Up Call that is so needed, then we will carry on in an atmosphere of good will. If not, we will surely meet our demise shortly thereafter. I don't think the Eastern Hemisphere is done with the North American continent yet. If you watch close enough, the intuitive part (previous blog about warning signs/signals) of us can see the action ramping up. Just look at all the cargo bombs being discovered. It's our warning people!!!!!!!!! It's ramping up for two reasons, it needs to happen so we can learn, but it's also happening because everybody is feeding into the negative energy being bred.

What can we do to combat the complacency in humankind? Here's what we can:

1) Take some time and invest in your family. While I can't get around the computer age and the fact that my kids love their Xbox, we have Family Fun Fridays, and Family Fun Fridays can be a night of bowling, it can also be a night in of family games (Board or Xbox). It is time invested as a unit.

2) Take some time to invest in your friends. It is one thing to debrief about the weeks activities, but try and book a night where it is a night of fun and laughter.

3) Laugh often. Laughter truly is the best medicine. See what happens if you think of a goofy joke when you're walking down the street. I know my smile from the thought has brought smiles to complete strangers' faces. Laughter is the one contagion we should never be afraid to share.

4) Take some time to invest in you. When was the last time you sat down with the TV off and read a book? How about that project you've been putting off? Have a hot bath, dance to music, feed your soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5) Be Grateful. We live in a society that is free of pestilence, we have rooves over our heads and food in our bellies. Lots of people don't. Wake up every morning and say "Thank you for another day".

6) Stop being so negative. Negativity breeds negativity. The glass truly is half full. You just have to see it. I will use myself as an example:

At 12 years of age, I was diagnosed with genetic lymphedema. While I consider myself attractive, I am "the girl with the fat ankles". My disease strikes 1 in 650,000 people. I grew up with a "woe is me" attitude, and it took awhile to slough it off. Always sick, always angry, yada yada yada.

While it wasn't an easy trip and took a lot of practice, my glass is always half full, NEVER half empty. Life has just handed me another stinky blow, and I find myself just laughing it off these days because I am sure of one thing.........things ALWAYS have a way of working themselves out. If you think you've had a rough day, walk a mile in someone else's shoes who always has time for a smile.

Don't get me wrong I had my momentary pity party, but it lasted all of a moment or two during a couple of days. I'm over it now, and I haven't even got my new diagnosis yet. Yes, I'm unwell. As usual. Oh well. I think having lymphedema impacts my immune system a little bit differently than if I didn't, as lymph is our infection fighter, thus making me a little more susceptible to autoimmune type things.

Again, this planet is a half full cup, start seeing it that way. This Monday I see my doctor. We have confirmed that at 40, I have osteoarthritis. X-rays indicate it. However, there has been another overwhelming illness that has yet to be diagnosed, and no matter what tests results show, I will have an answer. I'm not worried because no matter what, I have my amazing attitude. Everything will be okay. He could tell me I have Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis or Fibromyalgia on Monday, so what? At least I know, and at least I can get treatment. That's ALL that matters. Even more importantly, I am still alive!

That's the difference between me and the average person now, and where our major problem lies. Negativity breeds negativity!

No amount of kicking or screaming is going to change what's going on in my personal life, so I've made the executive decision to be happy! I am going to love my family, friends, and planet to death! It's what I CAN do! It's what you can do too! Stop being a slave to negativity! Find one thing a day to be grateful about, one good deed to do, and invest in you and your family!

This planet and the people on it need our love. Our love for humankind is the only thing that's going to save us. While I understand that the obstacles presented to us in our daily living our are character builders, let's start shedding the negative about it, and start embracing our obstacles for the value they bring to us! They make us stronger! Take some pride in all of you've been through! The obstacles have helped build you the amazing person you are!

As a psychic, I tell you this. We lose people. We lose our children, our mothers, our fathers, brothers, sisters, etc. It is sad when we lose them. The absence of their physical presence is sorely missed and we grieve. Well, guess what? They're never far away! They are always with us and don't want us to prolong our agony of grief! Celebrate they've gone home and are healthy now. They're waiting for you when it is your time, and right there to greet you! They want you to be happy! So.......be happy!

I just put my dog down not that long ago, and while not a human, he was part of my family. I cried before he was put to sleep, and I'm teary at the moment writing this, but I'm okay! He is okay now! He doesn't hurt anymore! None of our deceased loved ones do, and that's a blessing!

And I don't care what anyone thinks, I know he is over there chasing seagulls and having a blast! Just think, all of our loved ones gone by are over there! And they're happy! So we should be too!

The choice is yours.......only you can make you happy! Take joy in each other too!

Remember...............when a door closes.......another one opens.........all we have to do is walk through it........it's really easy.........give it a try!

Lunatic Fringe aka Being Psychic

DISCLAIMER: Take from this what you will. Believe it or not, that's okay too.

I was asked not long ago, what being psychic is like for me and it has urged me to write this particular post. (As an aside, I am working on a book of sorts right now which delves more into detail, but I am not focused on an end result as it is more for me than anyone else at this point and time.) I'm going to share an excerpt of what I've written and use that to delve into more....

"I must start by saying that I grew up in a very loving, non-denominational home. My mother had been raised a certain way religiously, and my father came from a strict home that he left at 16. They raised my brother and I in a home with no religious bounds as we were bound to no religion. My first recollection of being psychic is seeing “shadow people” at the age of three. Three? Yes, one never forgets someone showing up in the form of a silhouette. The most vivid recollection at an early age is the shadow people showing up in a mirror across from my bed. I was about five years old. First it was a silhouette of a head that resembled my grandfather, shortly followed by a horse. A few days later we were off to my grandparents ranch. A few years later, I had a dream about my mom, brother, and I being trapped in our car, a blue datsun, by a huge tree that fell over it. About a week later my mom was trapped in our blue datsun by a man in an Oldsmobile-like car that had t-boned her vehicle on the driver’s side. If she hadn’t been wearing her seatbelt she probably would have been dead."

Stuff like this happens to me ALL the time, and I mean ALL the time. Only now I hardly dream about it because most of my daytime is filled with "pings". I live in the moments. In fact, if I do dream, I rarely remember them. And when I do remember them, they seem to be a tool used to process daily events and very rarely are they predictive in nature. The odd predictive one still sneaks in once in awhile, but the last time I can honestly say I had an immediate one was October 2005 when I woke from a dream of people screaming in the midst of rubble. When I came out into the living room, I said to my boyfriend at the time "Something bad just happened in India". Only to stare at the news on the television that Pakistan had been hit by a monumental earthquake and thousands were dead. If there have been other moments like that since then, I truly can't remember. I have a very busy brain.

But I digress, so let's start by saying I do believe in life after death, and by calling what I am by what mainstream calls people like me, psychic. While I call myself psychic as that particular word is universal, it still has a negative connotation attached to it for me and I grapple with that daily. It's just easier to use than Clairvoyant.

The Wiktionary gives two definitions for intuition. Clairvoyance falls under the second one.

Clairvoyance is the ability to see clearly and is broken down into five categories of abilities as it were: Clairsentience (feeling); Clairaudient (hearing); clairalience (smelling); claircognizance (intrincisally knowing); and clairgustance (taste). I am clairsentient, audient, and cognizant. I am hoping that as time moves on, that my ability to add at least clairalience to my repertoire happens. Selfish? Maybe, but imagine being able to attach a specific smell to a certain loved one being present. For example, and this is an EXAMPLE only, this hasn't happened - yet. A querent is told by the reader that they can smell lavender and it just happens to turn out that the deceased Aunt Mary used to wear a lavender-scented perfume.

About intuition. People can read people (i.e. happy, sad, excited, truth, lie). Look at the show 'Lie to Me'. There is a science in reading people by their actions (or inactions). Gavin DeBecker's book, "The Gift of Fear" explains it further by acknowledging that we have been raised since birth to recognize human indicators, no matter how subtle. This is intuition.

I'll use the ever prevalent existence of domestic violence as an example. You have someone your dating, your friends don't approve of, and you turn on the blinders to indicators (drinker, smoker, partier) all for the sake of your new found love. As weeks progress to months, Mr. Wonderful calls you "stupid". You say, "he's just mad" and leave the comment alone. The verbal comments are followed by a few drinks, you work things out. Then the drinking ramps up, and the first physical altercation occurs. Well, the warning signs were there, you have just chosen to put them on ignore by using the proverbial "I can help him change", instead of turning tail and running in the opposite direction. That is ignoring your intuition. Every signal has pointed towards this person not being one you should have in your life and you've ignored every single signal that's been thrown at you. Know anyone that is or was like that? I sure do (myself included). Start paying attention people! We all have intuition - think of it as perceptive insight. It is "the gut" we all talk about, "if I'd only listened".

Then there is that second definition for intuition that I referred to earlier, and that is "Immediate cognition without the use of conscious rational processes". This is the one that makes me grapple with the word intuition and thinks that we should assign this meaning as a "sixth sense" as it were. It is clairvoyance, plain and simple. It is knowing before knowing and knowing things that you couldn't possibly have known. Psychics represent the extreme form of intuition. We just had to be called something I guess. We go beyond the normal level of intuition and we have the ability to communicate with energies that have left their earthly bodies. I'm sure we've all heard stories similar to the example "I just had to move" and then a car crash happens and you would've been at the point of impact had you not moved. That is clairvoyant, and I firmly believe we all have a bit of it. That knowing without knowing why we know. Our "gut instinct".

When I see things (I see dead people, ha ha ha), particularly when a deceased loved one is involved, I have my own personal movie screen at the back of my head. I am shown things like a real life movie is being played in my brain. I can also hold something that belonged to said party and draw them in closer to my line of vision. Yes, faint signals exist, and they can be made stronger by having a belonging of the dearly departed. I also hear things. I get spoken to by the other side. I have even been known to take on a bit of their personality or have said things exactly like the dearly departed used to. That's part of claircognizance (the taking on of someone is clairsentient - one aspect of feeling - I can physically feel what they're like - I can do that with live people too, take on their feelings). I live the second meaning of intuition. Once again, I am clairaudient, sentient, and cognizant. 3 out of 5 ain't bad right? Right!

Just ask me about the ring from one reading (the person brought the wrong ring and I told them as much) or a painted wall from another (when I'd never been to their house, and no, not everybody paints a wall red).

On a final note, I do have one prediction to make, and it is based in both worlds and it encompasses both meanings of intuition. I will expand on it in my next blog, but it is based on the earthly world I observe on a daily basis, but there is also an element to it, that I can't possibly know. I just FEEL it, I KNOW it. , t's my clairvoyance speaking loud and clear, and I'm fully prepared to face the onslaught, but when I've trusted "my gut", I've never been wrong.

Until then, happy thoughts to you all (the world could use a lot more love right now)

The Ability to See Beyond

Due to recent events in my life, I've finally decided to "come out" as it were. You see, I'm psychic. I know, I know......here comes another loony out of the bin hey?! No! As my friends will verify, while I might be a firecracker, there is nothing wrong with my sanity. The things I have "seen" and the encounters that I have had have not only led me to the brink of questioning my own sanity, but have now culminated in my coming out. I have a gift. A gift for sharing.

Once again, and for the record, I am perfectly sane. I am here to tell you that psychics do exist. Real ones.

I decided to treat myself to Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter", and I must say I commend him for two things:

1) Great job on portraying the "hoakies". You know, the fishers that gather a crowd and ask the oh so vague "I'm getting a J in the room, can someone relate to this?" Of course in a room of 100 that one will stand up and say yes (I even bet more than one).
2) Casting Matt Damon as the psychic who leaves his gift behind due to being overwhelmed by the curse he feels it is, and Matt Damon's portrayal of a psychic.

You know, I tried Googling around to see who Mr. Eastwood may have gathered his information from in order to portray all characters so well. I met with dead ends. But I will say this. Do not be too surprised if a psychic from days gone by winds up back in television land.

Being a psychic isn't easy. The chatter is almost constant and it's still something I am learning to negotiate. Don't get me wrong, I've always had that "sixth sense" but I spent the first 19 years of my life keeping it pretty quiet for fear of being thrown in the insane asylum and the next 20 years putting myself into situations that led me to my "real life" crisis and coming out. I have come out the other side, and am now for the other side. Nobody can lock me away now, and I intend to embrace it wholeheartedly.

My most recent adventure came last Friday. Foreshadowing or "what I put out there"? The decision is yours. For me, it was a foreshadow I jokingly laughed away. How could something so simple as a jacket be the source of such laughter, shock, and amazement, I mean it's only a jacket right? Well, again the decision is yours. As I was heading out the door for an evening out, I laughingly said to my husband "Which coat should I wear (pause and point) nope, not my leather one (pause and grab).....this is the one (a black, lightweight jean type jacket) because if it gets stolen it doesn't matter." ha ha....jokes on me. As we were getting ready to leave the establishment my friend and I were at, I went to grab my jacket off of my seat and yep, you guessed it.........gone. You see, I needed to step away for a moment and said to myself "put your keys in your pants pocket so you have them ready for leaving". I didn't, talking myself out of it because I was heading to the powder room and would be only a minute. I was right though, no big deal because the keys had no identifiers, and I was not attached to the jacket at all. It had been well loved and adorned. Call it what you will, but I don't usually run around second guessing anything I say, especially if it's in the form of a joke. I've told my husband the next time I joke about something like that, that he's supposed to give me "the look". That look being "are you getting a 'ping'" look.

That's what I've decided to call them. I've decided to call them pings. Those moments when I get information that I need to be listening to, or when I have a message for someone. I am not a fisher. When I have something to say from someone from the other side, the message is loud and clear. I always have a validating moment.

One of those moments came about two months ago when I was asked to help someone in need. Now just so you know, I charge for readings, but there are a few key people in my life that will always have the help when they need it, and for free. This was help for one of those key people, and identifiers have been left out in order to honor the sensitivity of this particular reading.

I sat down with a lady who had lost an adult child and she brought a ring that had belong to said child. I had never met this lady before and only knew of her loss. That's all I knew. I didn't ask for the ring right away as there is always a brief time of settling into one another's space when I do readings. When I did, the ring sat on my hand, and I said, "This isn't the ring, where's the other ring?" I then proceeded to describe it "silver color, but not silver, with etchings around it". A look nothing shy of astonishment came across her face and knowing full well which ring I was talking about, I was informed of the fact that another family member had it, and that it was a platinum (which looks like silver) ring and had etchings on it. 'Nuf said.

Since then we have had a second encounter, the details of which I will not reveal, but it was stronger than the first one. Let's just say I asked where a certain picture was (giving descriptors of the people, clothing, etc.) and I was told she had just had it in her hand the other day. I knew because I was shown it by the loved one from the other side.

Our loved ones never leave us. Ever.........

Until next encounter..............

Bad Behaviors and Accountability - a musing on Tiger Woods

So, I have to say, I TRIED to watch Tiger's apology to the world this morning, and I just couldn't stomach it. I readily admit I have an addictive type personality and I've had my moments where I've had to contend with it.

As an adult, I fully accept responsibility for anything I've done on this planet. Not once have I blamed ANYONE or ANYTHING for any of my behavior or choices made on this planet! And I will back that up by saying that it took a good counsellor several years ago to tell me I was not "responsible". She was right, I blamed everybody but myself for what was going on at the time, and it was only when I took that good hard look at myself that I started taking steps to becoming the woman I am today. I gave myself one more really hard lesson after the counselling sessions, but again, I am all the stronger and that much more accountable/responsible because of it.

The finally oiled machine that is Tiger Woods stepped up to the plate and failed to deliver. I commend him for setting the record straight and sticking up for his family, for that I give him a round of applause, but as for the rest, really?! I actually found myself changing the channel about two-thirds of the way through because I just couldn't stomach it anymore. Why is that? I think it's because I have looked people straight in the face and said, "this is what I did, and I'm not proud", and now have the ability to say "what a learning lesson I gave myself". There is shame that is associated with bad behavior and the ability to look someone in the eye and tell your story. Not ONCE was there a level of shame shown by Tiger that is necessary to be responsible for one's actions. I would like to say that maybe, just "maybe" they had to medicate him in order to make it through his session, but that is only a conjecture on my part.

I will say I truly do feel sorry for Tiger's wife and children. They didn't ask for this. Bad behaviors are never easy to deal with, and I couldn't imagine being involved with someone in the limelight who was supposed to lead by example.......and didn't.

Past Life Regression and More

So, I've always considered myself different from others. I grew up in a family where religion was not something that was nurtured in my family. I firmly believe that thanks to that, I was able to grow up and form my own ideas and belief system. For that, I am truly appreciative. Now, I am not knocking anyone that has grown up with strong religious beliefs. I think having faith is important in a person's life, and whatever works for you, works for you.

I consider this my coming out of the closet blog. I have always been able to see things. Things not noticed by most humans. For fear of always being judged as a wacko, only a select few have known I have this gift. Yes, GIFT. Until recently I hadn't been fully tapped in. That's where the Past Life Regression hypnotherapy session comes in. I have seen where I have been on some of my past travels, and have seen where I am going. I have been, for lack of a better word, home. I am more tapped in now then I ever thought I could be. Trapped in a physical world where cell phones, television and IPods keep us disconnected, it has been a battle within until now. Now, I'm not saying I am Sylvia Browne.......yet. It's coming, and I know. It just takes time for 39 years of living one way to readjust to life as I now know it. If I were to take everything in at once, I would probably implode. So, I have spent the last few days nurturing my new self and seeing this planet through amazing new eyes.

I have always been a healer, whether it be living on the hills of England or a gypsy travelling the land. I have died of natural causes and not so natural causes. I have had neck problems off and on throughout my life. It was because I was hanged for my gypsy ways. I have always been one to travel alone from what I have had access to thus far, and that's why it has proven so difficult and taken so long to find my one relationship in this lifetime. Being alone in past times was a choice, and I grappled with wanting to be alone yet having the love of someone in this lifetime. I'm finally at peace with it.

When I was a little girl, being closer to the other side, so many things happened I had no understanding of. I suffered what were lovingly referred to as nightmares. I remember seeing things in my dresser mirror when I would wake up in the middle of the night. It scared me because I didn't understand what I was seeing. The mirror incident was silhouettes. Silhouettes of a man's face in profile and a horse's head followed. A week later we were off to my grandparents ranch. I've had occasions where I have woken up in the middle of the night with people standing at the end of my bed. I was home for a visit one time at 19 (my favorite thing to do was stay over Christmas Eve for Christmas morning), and I can remember waking up, sitting upright and having a man stand at the end of the bed. I quickly laid back down and pulled the blankets over my head. I remember having a dream when I was younger (9, give or take a year) about our blue car being smashed when a huge tree fell on the hood, and I have to get my mother and brother out to safety. Two weeks later my mom got severely T-boned on the driver's side of said car and was lucky to be alive. I remember bugging my mom to go check the mail when I knew letters had arrived from penpals. There were (and still are) times when the phone would ring and I would say it's "so and so". I was never equipped with proper understanding until I was older. Now these things are second nature to me as I understand the "why's" of it all.

When I was going to school to practise the art of massage, I lived in the attic of an old house. Little did I know that I had company until some of my little figurines started moving around. I had the company of a young girl. They find me, and they always will. Whoever, for whatever the reason is, will find me to help them. Help them cross over or send a message to a loved one. I have reduced friends to tears for information I've been able to share. I can remember being out at a lake with some friends and we were having a night of tarot readings (have been reading for years) and all things spiritual. My friend's grandmother came through. Now, she wasn't a close friend, it was someone I was nurturing a new relationship with, so there was familiarity, but not depth or long length to the friendship at the time. I started talking about a little rocking chair, a white dog, and a pearl necklace. There were other details that came through too, and all I could do was just share with her. She was moved to tears. It was beautiful.

I've had things like this happen off and on over my years on this planet, but now I know the frequency will be increasing and the visibility stronger as I settle in to my new found information. My confidence will increase and the worry of being judge will dissipate. I have a gift. I am not touched my demons, I am not in league with the devil. I've been given a gift. I firmly believe we all have varying degrees of this gift. But some are meant to be messengers. I am one.

And this is not to be egotistical as I don't have an egotistical bone in my body, but I consider myself realigned. I am meant to impart knowledge to others, but it has come with a sense of not tolerating bad behaviors. I have too much knowledge now. It does not make me better than anyone else, but if I have something to share with you, know it to be. I know, given this imperfect state we live in, inaccuracies will occur, but they won't be far from the facts. There are no more "ums", "ahs". It will just come out. And that's the way it is. If you're not prepared to hear it, don't ask. That goes with all aspects now. I am not a perfect friend, wife, mother, sister, aunt or daughter. I am me. I have "The Others" as I call the 12 that stand behind me to help me adjust and show me what I need to see. I am not insane, I am not "touched in the head". I am just me. And I have a gift. I always have, and forever will.

I have finally accepted myself. I am prepared to lose the ones that may choose to drift away after this, but I know the ones that are meant to be with me through this lifetime, will be with me through this lifetime. It's like the tough times. You will know your true friends by those that stay. The others will just drift away, and it is nothing personal. It is everything to do with them and their belief systems, not mine.

Thank you Cam for guiding the way.

Be well everyone.
