September 2015

The other day I was sitting by the river in the park and enjoying the beautiful weather. This spot is my favorite because I really feel the energy of Mother Earth here and love being by the water. I was very relaxed and thinking about some things, so I asked Spirit if there was anything I needed to know at that time. Not even a minute later, a feather floated down from above and landed right in front of me on the ground! I looked up in the tree above me thinking it maybe came off a bird, but there were no birds there. I started laughing because I knew the angels were telling me they were with me! Feathers are one of the signs angels use to let you know they are around you. Then yesterday I bent down to pick up something on the floor in my dining room and noticed something else off to the side of it. I picked it up and started laughing when I saw it was a small white feather! If you don’t already know this, Spirit has a wonderful sense of humor! I personally believe they get a big kick out of watching my reactions when I see a sign or symbol from them! So go ahead, ask Spirit for a sign and see what you get! – Laura

This moment comes from Kelly R.

“I took a new route home tonight and encountered this beautiful rainbow as I was gabbing to my guides and angels.”

Rainbows are one of the signs angels like to use to show they are around or hear you! Thanks for sharing Kelly!

This is the leaf that I found by my foot while sitting in the park. Before walking to the park I had read an on-line daily angel message and daily oracle card reading, which were about asking the angels for help and knowing the angels are with you. I had been talking to Spirit, asking for help with some things, including to remember to ask for help! After finding the leaf I also saw a hummingbird flitting along the river in the park (I have been manifesting them lately). On my way home a butterfly flew right in front of me (have been manifesting those too) and then I encountered a tree full of blue jays (they have a special meaning for me) that I may have surprised because they squawked up a storm as I walked by them. A very nice way to start my day!

Kelly R. sent this to me:

“I arrived home from work and noticed this feather on the driveway when I opened my car door. It’s amazing what you see when you start paying attention to signs!”

My experience with the feathers continues! One morning as I was opening the gate on my driveway, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I looked and saw a single feather rolling up the driveway towards me! I laughed and thanked the angels for letting me know they were with me. When I came home later, I walked up to my front door and saw another feather sticking out from under the lip of my front step! Thanks angels!

This moment comes from Kelly R.:

I’m outside planting fall pots and sure enough, I looked down to see how many pansies I had left and there was a feather in the container!

This is one of my LIA moments that I remember as I started on my own spiritual path and becoming a Spiritual Counselor. A couple years ago around Easter, I asked Jesus to lead me to something that he felt best represented him. There’s a bit of irony here because I was brought up in the Catholic church, but stopped going after I made my confirmation. There were so many things that didn’t make sense or didn’t feel right to me. Over the years I have known there is something bigger than me, but I wasn’t sure what that was exactly. I learned about different religions along the way and while I found parts of them resonated with me, I never felt that I should belong to a specific one. As I was going through my program to become a Spiritual Counselor, I found similarities in what I was learning with that I had learned in church. I felt like taking a look at something I already knew from a fresh perspective. So I was just as surprised as anyone to find myself asking Jesus to help me know more about him.

Over the next week or two I heard a book mentioned three times. It’s called Discover The Power Within You. Each time I heard about it, it was described as understanding who you are as spirit and how powerful you really are. Given what I was studying, I thought that book would be good for me to read. I checked the nearby book stores on-line to see where I could get it. It wasn’t available at the one nearest me, but one a bit farther away. Within a day or two I received a coupon for the bookstore and later in the week I was going to be in the area of the store that had the book! I went to the bookstore and found the book. I flipped it over so I could read the back and had a little surprise when I saw Jesus mentioned. For some reason I opened the book and looked at the front matter page (did you know that’s the page at the beginning of a book that has the copyright, publisher info and Library of Congress data? Neither did I, I had to look it up on-line!). Under the Library of Congress data it shows the topic(s) of the book. One of this book’s topics is “Jesus Christ – Teachings”. I almost fell over when I read that! I knew this is what Jesus had led me to. I still don’t know why I turned to that page in the bookstore, but that’s how it goes with Spirit sometimes. And the book has been amazing! As I’ve read it, it makes sense to me, it feels right to me. It was an important lesson for me about “ask and you shall receive”. It’s something I tell clients all the time because I know it to be true.

As I walked into my garage last week, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and started turning my head in that direction. Something went past my face, continued past me a few feet and landed on the ground. It caught me by surprise so I just stood there a few seconds, wondering what just happened. I looked down to see what had landed on the ground and started laughing as I realized it was a feather!

November 2015

In this run-up to Halloween it’s been all about angel numbers for me! I have been talking to Spirit a lot, asking for help with some things going on in my life. I’ve had a lot of 1’s (watch your thoughts and only think about your desires instead of your fears), 2’s (keep the faith), 5’s (a positive change is coming up for you) and 7’s (you’re on the right path, keep going!) My favorite was the license plate I saw as I was out walking after making a big decision. Not only did the letters have meaning for me, but then there was 7770! There was also a message written in chalk on the sidewalk during another walk. If I remember correctly, there’s never been anything written there before and there’s been nothing since. The message… God loves you!

Sharon L. shared this moment…

A member of Sharon’s family passed away recently and one of the things the family had to take care of was transferring the title of that person’s car. A friend of the family went to the Secretary of State to take care of it for them. When he got there, he found out there was a $15 fee, but didn’t have the money with him to pay it. He walked out of the building and as he was standing outside the door, he saw something by his foot. Lying on the ground in front of him was some money folded in half! He looked around to see if someone may have dropped it, but there was no one around. He picked up the money and when he unfolded it he saw it was $15! He went back inside and used it to transfer the title. When he told the family what happened they knew that it was their loved one, letting them know he is watching over them!

Kelly R. shared this moment…

On Friday, while driving to work, the phrase, “Good is the enemy of great” came to mind. I used it all day long with many co-workers. On my way home I was flipping through my favorite Sirius radio stations and Joel Osteen was on. He used the same phrase ten minutes into the program!

I know Kelly has been working on listening more to her intuition lately so that’s great validation!

This week’s moment comes from Denise:

Our family had just gone through an unexpected event that left us broken-hearted. The days that followed were tear-filled and sleepless. On a clear morning that soon followed, I said my prayers on my drive to work as I usually do. This time, I also asked my guides and angels to provide me with a sign that there was light at the end of the dark tunnel we found ourselves in.

A few minutes later, I turned onto a road where at the end, 25 miles away, stands the iconic 73-story building of our city. As I completed my turn, I looked up and saw what I had never seen before. At that moment, the rising sun reflected off that tall building like a beacon … the light at the end of a 25-mile-long “tunnel.” Happy tears filled my eyes as I felt immense energy from my guides and angels. I knew that was the sign that I had asked for.

In the few months that have followed, it’s become crystal clear that we had to go through the tears and heartbreak to realize dreams being fulfilled and more happiness than we could have imagined.

December 2015

This moment happened last night with a friend at a café. As she was talking I noticed something moving on the table away from our cups. I looked and it was a tiny feather, maybe ½’’ long. My friend then looked and saw the feather too. She also gets signs from the angels so we looked at each other and just started laughing! I have no idea where that feather came from but it was awesome to see it, especially since I had been feeling energy from my angels all day! Thank you angels!

This is more like an LIA week! Last month I was getting angel numbers again – 747 almost every day. Last time this happened (last year) I went to Japan and had a wonderful time. This time I was trying to figure out where to go and thought about visiting my very dear friend that I have not seen for almost two years. The next day as we were talking I told her my idea and she started laughing! The day before she had been talking to her husband about coming to visit me! As we were talking she had an idea to meet somewhere else and off we went planning a girl’s week together. Everything seemed to just fall into place and last Friday I was on a plane to meet my friend. We had a great time and things went so smoothly! The weather was nice, we found great restaurants and had yummy meals, we took in the sights and just had fun! It was exactly what we both needed! The entire week, we were saying how well things kept turning out and how grateful we were that we did this! And it all started with angel numbers!

Last night I had a dream that involved a former friend. We haven’t spoken for a few years and earlier this month I was wondering if I should reach out to her. The dream was very vivid and when I woke up I was still feeling what I did in the dream. As I was eating breakfast I looked at an on-line Angel Card for the day and almost dropped my fork! The card was all about what I had been feeling in the dream! It’s yet another way Spirit leaves me in awe with how they have things come together to help us!

I have been drinking Starbucks chai every day for the last 14 years. It’s my little daily thing for myself. A couple months ago, I realized I wasn’t enjoying it quite as much anymore. I was actually dragging a bit after drinking it, but I continued to drink it because I like the taste of it. Around the same time I felt a nudge to make some changes with what I was eating. I did a three day juice detox, but still felt the nudge. So one day I decided to pull a card for myself from the Archangel Raphael Healing Deck. As I was shuffling, a card fell out of the deck. I turned it over and just started laughing when I saw “Caffeine Free” at the top! The funny thing is I already knew it was coming! Stimulants like caffeine and sugar can actually interfere with your energetic system and raising your vibration. In my work, I need to keep my energetic system clear and my vibration high so I can communicate more easily with Spirit.

I asked Archangel Raphael to help me kick the caffeine. Over the next two days I drank half the amount of chai I normally do. On the third day I went decaf and haven’t looked back since! It’s been 1 ½ months and I didn’t have any caffeine withdrawal headaches or issues. In fact, I feel much better! I have more energy, I feel better and I’ve been getting more communication-wise from Spirit. I will be honest, a couple times I did crave my old chai and one day I did have some, but you know what? It didn’t taste good at all to me and I didn’t like how I felt afterwards! So I’m happily moving down the decaf path and enjoying the benefits of it!

January 2016

Between Christmas and New Year’s I went with my parents “up north” (our term for going back to the area where my mother grew up) to see a relative’s basketball game. As we were getting close to the school a message appeared on the car dashboard that one of the tires had low pressure. We stopped at a gas station, put some air in the tire and continued to the school. The message stayed on and the tire pressure actually dropped a little again by the time we arrived at the school. As I got out of the car I could hear a noise and realized it was air coming out of the tire! We knew we had to get the tire fixed immediately, so we left my mom at the game and went to find a place that could fix the tire. Now mind you, we are in a small town, it’s a few minutes before 5:00 and we are not sure where to go or what will even be open. I got out my phone to google any tire or repair shops. As I was trying to decide what exactly to goggle an idea popped in my head… call my uncle who lives in the area. I called him and explained the situation. He told us to start driving to one end of town and he would call his friend who owns a tire shop. Long story short, the shop was already closed, but the guy was willing to come back in for us. He had just sat down to dinner and said he could be there in about 30 minutes. So we drove to his shop and waited at the gate. As we were waiting we were listening to Frank Sinatra on XM radio and talking. For some reason I don’t remember, I turned up the radio. Frank was singing about rose colored glasses and everything being rosy. I started laughing because my step-dad’s mother’s name was Rose and we affectionately call her Rosie. Something clicked and I realized she was watching over us and helping us. The situation could have been so much worse, but here we were sitting in a warm car, in front of a tire shop, singing Frank Sinatra tunes as we waited for the tire man. If you’re going to have tires problems, this has to be a best case scenario! A heartfelt thank you to my wonderful uncle and the tire man! And thank you Grandma Rose for helping to keep us safe and letting us know you were with us! Everything turned up rosy… well actually Rosie!

**As I proofread this, I started feeling energy. It was Grandma Rose. I feel like she’s tickled pink that I’m sharing this story! **

When I first started consciously connecting with Spirit and having amazing things happen to me, I would describe them as crazy or unbelievable to others. Somewhere along the way I starting getting a weird feeling when I did it, but I continued to call the experiences crazy. One day as I was vacuuming, I clearly heard something like “stop saying that” in my head. It made me stop because I had been zoning out a bit and wasn’t really thinking about anything in particular, but that was clear as day! A few days later, I was working with my instructor and she said my Spirit Guide was saying I should be careful how I describe my experiences. I almost fell out of my chair! I hadn’t told her about that because I had actually forgotten about it as we went through the lesson that day. We talked about how using words like crazy and unbelievable not only invalidates my experiences, but others would be reluctant to share theirs if they may be seen in a negative light. Besides, the experiences are simply amazing and completely natural in the realm of Spirit, so keep them in that light. My instructor had validated the message I received and it hit me – it was the first time I “heard” my Spirit Guide! Of all times it was while I was vacuuming! Who knew?! After that I was aware of the words I used, but I felt like I was struggling to find something that adequately captured that feeling of surprise, incredulousness and sheer joy. I kept thinking about it and soon after words popped into my head that felt just right… voila! And that is how Laughing In Amazement or LIA came to be!

I shared in my blog yesterday that I am running into a wall of fear that I created and I’m ready to overcome this fear. The night before I wrote that blog I had been on Meetup and saw some groups I’d like to join. I joined 2 but held off joining a spiritual group I saw. I have gone to other spiritual groups and they didn’t resonate with me, so there was a part of me that didn’t want to go to one more and find out again it didn’t resonate. Well, as I made breakfast yesterday that group popped into to my head. I finished breakfast, exercised and now was feeling a nudge to join. I went on-line to join and thank God I did because their first meeting was yesterday afternoon! I had been thinking it was today. So I RSVP’d and went. At the beginning of January I wrote out my intentions for the year and one of them is to find my tribe (I don’t even know why I used that word, but I did). I want to find a group of like-minded people that I can share with and learn from. Where I don’t have to explain what I’m thinking or feeling because they just get it. I feel like I found my tribe yesterday! I can’t describe the happiness I felt as I met people, heard them share what they are feeling and felt the energy of the group! What was supposed to be a 3 hour meeting turned into 6 hours because we were all just vibing with each other. As I was about to leave, the group founder offered a healing to me. When he finished he said “I heard the same message for you 3 times. Does ‘you are ready’ make sense to you?” I had a crying in amazement moment. It was the message, the validation that I needed to hear. I’m still feeling my way through what happened yesterday. Of course, I’m happy and feel reinvigorated! I’ve already had 4 new ideas of things to do! And I’m thinking about the lessons from this experience. It wasn’t the easiest thing for me to share what I was feeling in that blog, but I felt like I should do it. I’m so glad I listened to my inner guidance because today feels so much different than 2 days ago when I wrote it! I am so grateful for the beautiful way that things flow when you simply allow!

My dad’s birthday is this month and although he passed over 20 years ago, I still tell him happy birthday. I’m not quite sure why yet, but he has been letting me know that he is around. Maybe because I was teasing him that he would have been 70?! The past couple of weeks I have been seeing the numbers of his birth date everywhere. The first few times I didn’t think much of it, but then it became a daily occurrence and at this point I know better. I figured he would do something cool on his birthday, maybe the lights flickering or I’d see him. His birthday came and went…nothing. I still continued to see the numbers though. Then yesterday I went out to do an errand. It was later than I had planned on going so I almost didn’t go, but in the end I got ready and went. Coming home, I turned out onto the main road and stopped at the red light. I’m not sure if something caught my attention or I just happened to look over, but I saw the license plate of a car in the next lane just ahead of me. It was my dad’s initials! No numbers, just three letters. I think my jaw may have dropped open! My first thought was to get a picture and I reached for my phone. By the time I got the camera app opened, the light had changed and we were moving. I never did get close enough to get a clear picture. That’s ok. I was just enjoying what had happened! My dad could be a big goofball, so it’s nice to know he’s playing around and doing stuff that makes me laugh! Happy Birthday dad!

February 2016

During Mercury Retrograde I finally sat down and honored the nudges I have been getting to reorganize and update my services. As I went through the list, I hesitated on adding something to it. I put a question mark next to it and kept on going. I went back to it later and was still feeling unsure about it, so I asked Spirit if I should include it or not. I went to bed that night without a clear answer. The next morning as I was having breakfast, I looked at an on-line daily Angel Card reading (part of my morning routine). I had to look at it a couple times before it really sunk in… I had my answer! It was not only the card, but the reading too. The first two parts were reassurance and the third part answered my question exactly! Needless to say, I erased the question mark and added it to the list! Thank you Spirit for answering my question! And thank you that reader for unknowingly delivering the answer! You never know what your impact on another can be by simply sharing your gifts with the world!

I had a bunch of LIA moments as I did angel card readings at a fair yesterday! Doing readings does have its serious side as people ask questions about issues in their lives, but I find that Spirit always finds a way to bring a lightness to it that is best for each person. Yesterday was about specific cards that came up in the readings. I would flip a card over, the client saw it and started laughing because it was something they had told me about or we had just been talking about! There were also a couple themes that came up between all the people I worked with. So as I reflect back on yesterday, I am having more LIA moments as I realize all the incredible ways that Spirit finds to come through to us and how it all comes together!

This is a little story about the power of co-creating. Last year I had friends and family over for a Girl’s Night. My plan was to have it outside and enjoy the beautiful summer night. I had been watching the weather all week and was keeping my fingers crossed because the weather forecast was for rain, ugh! That’s when I decided to really give this co-creating thing a try. I asked God to co-create a beautiful night with me so we could enjoy the party outside. I visualized us all sitting comfortably outside having a good time. I even started singing the song “Blue Skies” by Ella Fitzgerald. Well… the morning of the party I woke up and saw that it was raining! Even though I was thinking hey, this co-creating stuff is for the birds, I kept doing it anyway. The weather forecast called for rain on and off all day, but it rained all morning long. I kept visualizing us being outside while singing “Blue skies, nothing but blue skies”. After lunch the sun started coming through the clouds and the rain stopped! Yay it’s working! But wait…it clouded up and the rain started again. Double ugh! I continued visualizing and singing. This happened a few times. Finally after 3:00, just as I was starting to get things ready to have the party inside, the sun came out and stayed out! I had enough time to get things ready outside before everyone arrived. It was a beautiful, warm night, perfect for a summer party! I had citronella candles lit all around us because when the sun goes down the mosquitoes flood into my yard. At some point the candles started going out, but we continued sitting on the patio. I remember sitting there while everyone was talking, asking Spirit to keep the mosquitoes away so we could continue enjoying our night. By the time everyone left there were maybe 2 or 3 candles still lit and only one person had been bit. I’m a mosquito magnet and I wasn’t even being bothered by them. As I was cleaning up, I was thanking God and Spirit for helping me co-create a beautiful night! Then I heard something. I heard it again. It was thunder. And a few minutes later the rain started coming down! I looked at the clock and it was about 30 minutes after everyone left. Hmmmm… as I was laughing I was thinking there just might be something to this co-creating!

I’m a bit of an astronomy geek. I have an app that helps me identify the planets, stars and constellations. I found out you can see the International Space Station and signed up for alerts from NASA for my area. I’m like a kid in a candy store as I watch it fly over me! I love looking into the night sky and finding the big dipper or Orion’s Belt. And don’t get me started on the Northern Lights, yowza! So I was so excited last fall when I heard we were having a full moon and a lunar eclipse together! And imagine my disappointment when I looked out the window that night and saw only clouds! I checked my weather app and saw a blanket of clouds over me that would continue to move my way from the south. What?? I’m not going to see the eclipse?! Then I had an idea of the co-creating kind! My cousin always tells me how she knows her mom, my god-mother, watches over her when she has to fly somewhere. My god-mother shows up every now and then and likes to play with me, knowing I can feel her energy. So that night of the full moon I thought it would be fun to co-create and play with her! I asked her to help me clear away the clouds so I could see the moon and watch the eclipse. I knew she heard me so I started visualizing the clouds breaking up and the sky being clear. I don’t remember how long it was after that I noticed I could see the moon a little through the clouds! By the time the eclipse started the sky was clear! I laid by the window and watched the entire eclipse. There were a few clouds that floated through at some point and partially blocked the moon for a minute or so, but that was it. I saw the whole thing and enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you Cioci!

March 2016

During my training, one of the lessons was connecting with Spirit. First up on the list… God. As soon as I connected I could feel God’s energy. It was so beautiful, so loving! In fact I started crying because it felt so good! Think of a moment you felt so much love in your heart you thought it would burst, then multiply that by a gazillion. That’s what I felt. I asked God a few questions, one of them being what I needed to know at that time. I was expecting pictures, which is how the previous answers were given to me. However, there were no pictures. Suddenly I realized there was a song playing in my head. Can you guess what it was? I’ll give you a hint… it’s something you most likely wouldn’t hear in church. It was All You Need Is Love by the Beatles! I didn’t hear the whole song, only “all you need is love” over and over. After the lesson I looked up the lyrics. I’ve known the song since I was a kid but never really thought about the meaning of it. That song is now on my ‘Happy Playlist’ and every time I hear it, it makes me smile, inside and out! Wonder if God has a playlist and what’s on it?!

Here’s co-creating at its best again! Yesterday I set my intentions for today’s fair. I asked Spirit to bring people to my table who were right for me. I asked that it be a busy day. And I said that I wanted to have fun doing readings today. Well, guess what happened? Each person today had something in common with me that I have experienced. I was able to offer suggestions based on what I have already been through. Soon after the fair started, we had a steady stream of people until almost the end. I think I did readings non-stop for almost 5 hours! And I had fun! Some of the readings had some serious areas, but I think I was laughing at some point during each reading! As I drove home I remembered my intentions and it added to the huge smile that was already on my face!

Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride in my family because my step-father had to have surgery. What was comforting to us was that our loved ones who have passed on let us know they were with us! I have a plastic bird on my windowsill that a friend gave me. It’s pretty cool because it chirps if you move it around in your hands. I haven’t replaced the battery in it in years, but last week it chirped on two different nights when I was in a different room – a night or two before the surgery and two nights after the surgery. I know my maternal grandma makes that happen. She also likes to show up as a bluebird. I think it was the day before the surgery, I opened up the curtains and there was a bluebird sitting in the tree right outside the window! During the surgery, I was sitting in the waiting room with my mom. It was about 15 minutes after surgery was supposed to start. As we were talking, I felt a pressure on my right wrist. I initially shook it off but it didn’t go away. I told my mom and said that maybe Spirit was letting us know the surgery had just started. But then the energy around me increased and I knew someone was letting me know they were there. My first thought was my other grandma, Grandma Rose. I asked if that was her and I immediately got goosebumps. I could also feel my maternal grandma in the waiting room. I knew they were there to watch over my step-dad and comfort us. It was actually a laughing and crying in amazement moment! Love knows no boundaries and it was such an awesome feeling knowing that they were there too! I’m also happy to report that the surgery went well and my step-dad is already back at work. I’m sure my grandmas were helping behind the scenes to make sure everything went well!

As I got ready to go to Easter dinner, I had the latest episode of Join or Die with Craigy Ferg (my not so secret crush!) playing in the background. One of the guests mentioned Steve Miller’s song Jet Airliner. I like that song and haven’t heard it in a while. I was humming it and I thought I should add it to my I-tunes library. Later on I got into my car and there was a song on the radio, about half way through. That song ended and guess what came on next? You got it… Jet Airliner! Spirit still surprises me so I’m sure they were laughing at the initial look on my face before I busted out laughing! Hopefully they enjoyed my singing too!

April 2016

Last week I was working at my step-dad’s office and doing some filing work. I had to add some documents to various client files. I was in a bit of a hurry because the work I was doing earlier took me longer than I expected and I wanted to come home and work on some stuff for my business. I was at the third drawer before I realized that I was flipping right to the file I needed! It felt like I finished in no time at all. And as usual I was laughing the entire time!

I’ve been asking the angels a lot lately to surround others and give them angel fuzzies. Saturday morning, an on-line Angel card was about doing something for yourself. As I thought about what I wanted to do, it hit me that I had never asked for an angel fuzzy for myself! So I did. I felt the energy go up around me and I was grinning from ear to ear! It felt so good that I started dancing in my kitchen and somehow ended up doing the conga! The thought of me leading a conga line of angels had me laughing more and that’s when I felt the energy go up even more! Who knew? The angels like to conga! And if you don’t believe it, give it a whirl and see for yourself!

Yesterday I posted info about a video series that has really resonated with me. When I first started watching it, I was only thinking about it in terms of my family. Two days ago it hit me that others may be interested in it too and that I should share it. I hesitated though because the info in this series may be seen as controversial or too out there. The nudge I felt though overrode the fear and I logged into my Facebook page. And then the coolest thing happened! As I started writing I realized a cardinal had started singing in the tree by my back doorwall! One of the ways my grandpa makes his presence known is as a cardinal. I’m not sure how long it took me to finish the post, but the cardinal was there singing during most of it. I felt like my grandpa was there as a sign that I was doing the right thing. Thanks grandpa!

Sharing your experiences is something I feel is very important because you never know how it will impact others. It may be something that a person needed to hear to help them in some way. In this case it was validation, which led to a lot of laughter! Last month I emailed my former teacher, Shannon Knight, about her meditation series that I am taking. I’ve been enjoying it a lot and was sharing that with her and letting her know what I’ve been up to. That night I had a dream that she was channeling healing energy to me and afterwards we were sitting in front of a display of ice cream, like the freezer section at the grocery store. It was so vivid! It was one of those dreams that I could still feel for a while after I woke up. Even when I don’t understand what it means, I’ve learned to really pay attention to those dreams! Later in the day I was still thinking about the dream and wondering whether to share it with Shannon because the last part seemed so kooky! I’m so glad I did! She said she’s had other people tell her that she’s come to them in their dreams and channeled healing. Yay, I got a healing! What was funny was the part about the ice cream! She had been creating a special all week that involved cake and ice cream! We both do healing and psychic work, so we see “unusual” things all the time, but this still had us laughing in shock and amazement!

May 2016

The most curious thing has been happening since Prince has passed away. I have been humming and singing his songs for the past week and a half – nothing unusual there. It’s just that every time I’m doing it the energy goes up around me! In particular, I’ve had Purple Rain running through my head. I’ve always liked that song, but it has a sad feeling to it so I usually don’t listen to it unless I need a good cry or am feeling moody. This morning as I made breakfast, I found myself humming Purple Rain yet again and started singing it, I mean really singing it! And there went the energy! The cool thing is that it feels happy. I’m not sure if it’s the Purple One himself, but I get the sense he never fully understand how much he truly impacted people and now he is tickled pink… I mean purple… and able to revel in that fact. So if you see me start doing some fancy footwork or drop down, do the splits and come back up while I’m dancing, then it probably is him! Thank you Prince for just being you and sharing your gifts.

Two days ago I went for a walk with a friend from my spirituality group. We talked about so many things, but something she said about the Divine within us stuck with me for the rest of the day. Then yesterday morning I read an on-line daily angel card and something within the message caught my attention. As I ate breakfast and thought about it, something clicked! An a-ha moment! There’s something I’ve been working on within myself lately and it was as if what my friend said was one dot and Doreen’s message was the second dot and Spirit helped me connect those dots! It has shown me very clearly what I can do and it’s easier than I thought it would be! So yet again, I’m in awe of and grateful for the wonderful and mysterious ways Spirit brings things together to help us! And I’m grateful for Chris. By honoring what came to her and simply sharing it, she helped me with something she don’t even know about! Absolutely amazing!

Yesterday I was out for my walk and passed by a house with a real estate company’s For Sale sign on the front lawn. I glanced at it and under the logo I saw ‘Ask for: what you want’. I stopped and looked at the sign again, but this time I saw ‘Ask for;’ and an agent’s name. Hmmm, I’m not so foolish to ignore signs (literally and figuratively, haha!) anymore, so I started talking to God. I asked for the things that I want, then I asked how I can move forward with one of those things. I passed two houses and started hearing music. Someone was in their garage working and had music playing. I could hear it but not enough to recognize the song or hear what was being sung. As soon as I hit the end of that driveway I heard as clear as day “shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel”. I remember that song from when I was a kid and I was trying to figure out who sang it and how the rest of the song goes. I was so focused on the song that it took me maybe another minute before I realized… those lyrics answered my question perfectly! God’s got a pretty quick turn-around time and an awesome sense of humor!

** For those of you who love music like me, that song is Shower The People by James Taylor! **

Archangel Michael decided to have a little fun with me last week. I was visiting a friend, whose abilities are also open. She has two adorable babies that are four-legged and say woof. One of them kept cracking me up because although he was looking at me, it was always just off to the side or just above me. No big thing, I know my spiritual posse is around me and felt that he was seeing them too. My friend and I were doing some psychic stuff for each other and felt the energy around us increasing. At one point her dog was looking at me then looked up way above me, where the wall and vaulted ceiling meet. For a split second I thought “what the…?” and then he barked. He wasn’t being protective or aggressive, he was still sitting there pretty relaxed. And then I just knew, it was Archangel Michael. I said to the dog, “Is that Archangel Michael?” and he barked again. My friend said she also heard that it was Archangel Michael. It’s funny. As much as I work with Archangel Michael, I feel how powerful he is but I don’t really equate it with physical size. In fact, in my mind we’re about the same size! After watching the dog look up so high though, let me tell you, that’s one big dude! And I’m mighty glad he’s got my back, even when he’s giggling at my reaction!

P.S. After I finished writing this, I went to open my browser to post it. I noticed my browser was already open, but I hadn’t opened it. I switched over to the browser window and this is what I found.

Um, I didn’t do a search. Looks like someone is still having fun with me! I’m giggling and feeling loved!

I’ve been working through something lately and the other morning I was feeling a bit down and sad. I went out for a walk and was talking to Spirit about it. I knew that I didn’t want to keep thinking about it and feeling that way. Then I clairvoyantly got an interesting image. It was Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer’s apprentice in Fantasia. Remember the part where Mickey falls asleep and is dreaming (it looks a lot like astral travel to me!)? He’s standing way up in the sky arranging the stars, planets, water and clouds in a spectacular show like a conductor. Spirit showed me that to remind me that I am the conductor in my life. I have the power to arrange a fantastic show. What will I choose to create? Well, to start, I decided to look for the positive in the situation and heal the rest. No more moping around about it. Deal with it and move on. Since then I’ve been remembering that image and it is helping me improve this show that is my life!

I love the many ways my loved ones who have passed on figure out how to come through and let me know that they are around. Today is no exception! I’m sitting outside enjoying a beautiful day as I work on the Quote of the Week. I knew what I wanted to focus on, but didn’t have a quote yet. I found a site on-line with some possible quotes and was sitting quietly, just letting Spirit guide me to the right quote. A few seconds after deciding, I started typing and saw movement in …the air ahead of me. I looked up and saw a cardinal in the tree right in front of me! I’ve shared before that one of my grandfathers told me he shows up as a cardinal. I watched the cardinal sit in the tree for a few minutes and simply enjoyed the sign! The cardinal then flew over to another tree behind my garage. It started singing and kept singing for about 5 minutes as I continued writing about the quote! I’m finding that in moments when I am unsure about something, it is not unusual to look up and see a cardinal or blue jay (grandma) or some other sign from my loved ones. Thank you grandpa for reassuring me that I’m on the right track!

Last week I had a lot of fun with my spiritual posse! Just about every morning they gave me a song that is somehow relevant to me. What do I mean by giving me a song? Sometime between waking up and pouring my morning juice I would realize I was humming or singing a song. I didn’t wake up with the song in my head. It wasn’t anything I heard the day before or even recently. Nothing I had talked or thought about lately. But each song contained some meaning for me, mostly in the lyrics because I would keep repeating only certain lines. One morning it was related to the dream I had that night and wasn’t quite sure what it meant. Another morning it was about a question I had the day before. My spiritual posse knows the best ways to communicate with me. I know they love my reaction when they surprise me, so they keep coming up with unique ways! In what funny or unique ways does your spiritual posse communicate with you?

July 2016

The other night I was talking with my cousin before she went to work. She’s been working a lot lately to cover and fill in for other’s shifts. She was telling me how tired she was and my heart went out to her. A couple seconds later Archangel Raphael popped into my head and I told my cousin I was going to do something. I then asked Archangel Raphael to watch over her and help her have a quiet night at work. A soon as I finished I felt the energy go up around me and I got goosebumps! I told my cousin what I was feeling and she started laughing. She had goosebumps too! I knew she was in safe hands then! I talked to my cousin a day later. She said when she arrived at work there was some commotion with a patient, but the staff was already taking care of it. The rest of the night… quiet and uneventful!

This past week I have been talking to the angels a lot. Even though I know they are around me, I still enjoy it when they show me signs of their presence! I’ve seen a lot of 444 (it means the angels are with you) in different places – the clock, my odometer, even the address of a restaurant I was at yesterday! Each time I saw it I smiled or laughed and thanked the angels! Then one day I went outside for about 5 minutes and as I was doing something in my yard, I was talking to the angels. When I went to enter my house, there was a single feather lying right in front of the door! I felt like they were saying “hey we heard you” and that made me feel much better and so loved!

One of the fun things about hanging out with psychic friends is that you never know when a message or guidance will come through! That happened to me very unexpectedly on Friday night at a party. I woke up that morning and laid in bed, thinking about something that has been going on in my life. I was finally ready to end a chapter and move on. I did some energy work and releasing and finally felt ready to move on. When I did get out of bed I felt lighter and happier! Fast forward to that night as I sat around a bonfire with friends. A few of us started feeling energy around us and felt that an ascended master had joined us. We agreed to tune in and communicate any messages that were coming to us. One of the messages that I received validated what I had done that morning with closing the chapter. I wish I could have seen my face when I heard that! As much as I work with the spiritual realm, it still surprised me! I can’t describe how loved I felt and how much I appreciate all the ways that my spiritual posse helps and supports me. I knew I did the right thing that morning, but it was a very nice confidence boost to receive that validation! Thank you Spirit for that message!

The angels continue to show me signs of their presence! The other day I had a bunch of stuff to take out to my car. I don’t know how many times I came in and out of the house but at some point as I walked up to my front porch, I looked down and saw a gray feather sitting right in front of the porch step! It made me smile! Funny thing is that I didn’t see it again even though I was still going in and out of the house. Just a little reminder that my spiritual posse is always with me!

August 2016

It’s been an interesting week! I’ve been asking for Spirit’s help with some stuff this week and even simply asked for signs that they are around me. The feathers continue to appear. I’ve been seeing what I call angels flashes. These are small flashes of light, kind of like a small flash bulb, that I see around me. I’ve also been feeling a slight pressure on my back. This started last year and is Spirit’s way of letting me know they’ve got my back. I felt it more this week than I usually do. All comforting signs that I am not alone and am loved and supported!

Last week I was standing in line at the grocery store and I noticed many people complaining or miserable somehow. I’ve been playing around with energy more lately and remembered my instructor saying that I can raise the energy in a room with my vibration. I set the intention to send out love and fill the entire store. I was standing there feeling really good! Then I noticed a child sitting in a cart in the line next to me. He was just staring at me and I wondered what he was seeing as I sent out love. I smiled at him. He gave me the biggest smile, then laughed and waved at me! I’ll take that as validation that what I was doing was working!

Spirit still has a way of surprising me with how they get messages to me! In the span of one week, I had two different people give me the same message about something that has been happening in my life. The first person is a friend who knows a bit about what has been going on and was able to give me more insight, which helped me see the situation from a higher perspective. The second person is someone I just met and doesn’t know anything about what has been happening. The situation is something that has been weighing on my heart and I have been putting off making a decision about it. I’ve been hoping things would improve and turn out the way I want, even though my intuition is telling me that what I want isn’t for my highest good. As hard as it was, I know that I needed to hear the message to help me get clear on what I have to do for me. So if you ask Spirit for help or signs, know it doesn’t just come as feathers, flashes of light or any of the things I have previously shared. Also know that sometimes the messages aren’t always what we want to hear, but Spirit will always tell us what is for our highest and greatest good. And they will always do it in a gentle, loving way. We then have a choice of whether or not we want to listen. What I do know is that whatever you have to go through by listening to the message, the other side of it will better, many times in ways you could have never imagined! Just remember to be open after you ask and let Spirit surprise you in amazing ways!

Last week my spiritual posse had a musical theme going with me! It seemed like wherever I went, at some point I would become aware of music playing in the background and the song or the lyrics at that moment resonated with me somehow. A couple times it felt like a message, other times it was validating something I was thinking about. What really touched me though was happened one morning as I made breakfast. I wasn’t playing any music, just trying to wake up! I found myself singing Sade’s By Your Side. Instant goosebumps, in a good way of course!

There’s an archangel that I call on for help when I have to talk to someone and I’m nervous about it or it’s something difficult or awkward to say. That archangel is Raguel. This past week I had two instances where I knew I had to speak my truth with someone, but it could be awkward or even prickly to do so. I was feeling nervous but knew I had to do it. I called upon Archangel Raguel to help with the situation. And both times, I felt a calmness before I talked with the person and the interaction went well! I’ve asked Archangel Raguel for help in the past and sometimes I get an idea of how to approach the situation that I’d never thought of before. Or while I’m talking to the person, words seem to come out of my mouth that I don’t usually say or in a way that even surprises me! So next time you’re facing a conversation or situation that makes you nervous or could possibly be prickly, try asking Archangel Raguel to help you!

September 2016

I was never really an outdoorsy kind of girl for most of my life. Then as I became aware of my abilities, I began to feel a connection with nature that I hadn’t before. So one of the things I like to do is go to the park, sit by the river and meditate. It is so peaceful to me and there have been times during meditation that I am floating somewhere else. When I open my eyes, I have an “oh yeah, I’m in the park” moment.

Twice this summer, I had that happen, except I didn’t open my eyes because I was finished meditating. I opened my eyes because I heard something near me that brought me instantly back to my physical senses. Both times it happened I opened my eyes to find something moving around by my feet! I’ve got to tell you, it‘s a little unnerving to open your eyes and see movement around you before your eyes have refocused! Can you guess what was by my feet? Baby ducks! It seems that both times, the ducks were floating down the river and decided to go to the small lake behind me. As they were making their way to the lake, they decided to look around for some food and I just happened to be there! The mother duck was with them both times and I made sure to sit still, because momma was eyeing me and I don’t want ‘beaked by a duck’ on my list of life experiences! It was a beautiful couple of minutes as I watched the babies move around me and then follow momma back to the water. I was so grateful I had gone to the park those days because sometimes it’s the little moments like that that bring a smile to my face!

I’ve had a lot of fun signs this week from Spirit! It started with angel numbers. I went to the store and my total was $7.77. Afterwards I went for a walk and for some reason I was looking at a car parked on the street when I noticed the last 3 digits of its license plate were 777! I came home and looked up the meaning – 777 means keep going, you’re on the right path. Exactly the validation I needed after making a decision to not do something a few days before. Then 222 started appearing everywhere, which means keep the faith. On my way home from another one of my walks, I saw movement in the distance at the end of the street. There were three deer standing there, just looking at me! Spirit knows I like signs to be in threes, so I checked my spirit animal book. Again, the meaning validated the decision I had made and a message from Spirit I have received from a couple of psychic friends.

The thing that really got me though was as I was writing the I’ve Got Spirit blog. I was sitting upstairs and noticed movement outside the window. I saw a feather about the length of my hand float from the right side of the window, stop when it reached the left side, hang there for a few seconds, sink maybe 6 inches, then float back to the right side of the window and disappear! It moved in straight lines, wasn’t turning or rotating and seemed to move at the same pace. My first thought was ‘did I really just see that?’. I got up and looked out the window, but I didn’t see the feather anywhere. I thought it was funny that happened as I wrote about the spiritual team around each one of us! I’m sure my spiritual posse was cracking up from the look I must have had on my face!

Clairsentience is one of my dominant abilities and allows me to feel energy. It’s how I know Spirit is around. It’s also a way that Spirit communicates with me. Over the last few months something new has developed. When I say something that Spirit agrees with or I hit the nail on the head with my words, I get massive goosebumps and the hair on my arms stands straight up. It usually happens during readings, but last night was a little different. I had come home from the psychic fair after having some really good readings with clients. I was thanking Spirit for their help during the readings and then I said “I’m really enjoying this partnership”. I don’t think even a second passed before I was covered in goosebumps and I realized Spirit was telling me they enjoy it too!

Last week I wanted to make cookies to take to a party. The night before, I went to make them and realized I didn’t have any eggs. I didn’t feel like running up to the store so I figured I would pick some up while I was out the next morning and make the cookies then. The only thing was I had a limited amount of time in my schedule, but I felt like I could make it work.

The next day, everything was going smoothly until I got home and started to make the cookies. The recipe is on-line, so I turned on my computer. It was going through an update – very slowly (it took an hour to finish!) so I couldn’t get the recipe! Uh oh! No problem, I’ll use my phone. Good idea in theory except that every time the page with the recipe would load, it would either freeze up and kick me out of the browser or I would start scrolling down and eventually be kicked out of the browser. After about 4 tries, I was able to scroll down and write out the ingredients quickly before the browser closed. It took another time or two to get half of the instructions. While I loaded the page yet again to get the other half, I started mixing together the ingredients. I grabbed the box of baking soda and it slipped out of my hands. Poof! Baking soda all over the floor. I stopped, looked at the mess in front of me and said “Am I not supposed to make these cookies?”. I couldn’t figure out why… until I read the last half of the instructions. I needed to chill the dough for 30 minutes before I could shape the dough and bake it. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem except that I had to leave in 30 minutes and wouldn’t have time to bake the cookies when I got back home. A ha! That’s why I shouldn’t make them! In the end I made it work (thanks to my grandma for sending me an idea) and showed up to the party with my cookies!

October 2016

I couldn’t wait to share this because it’s been making me laugh all day today! Last week a rock hit my windshield while I was driving and cracked it. I kept worrying about it for a couple of hours and finally realized it wasn’t doing me any good. I decided to let it go and enjoy the rest of my day, call the insurance company the next day, find out my options and go from there. Based on the size of the crack, replacing the windshield was the best option (not only from a safety perspective, but also from a having faith perspective!). The insurance company told me I just had to pay the deductible and they would cover the rest. While the deductible wasn’t much, I was still groaning on the inside that I had to spend that money for the repair. Again, I let it go because I felt like everything was going to be ok.

This morning I dropped my car off at the shop and when I returned to pick it up, I had the most wonderful surprise! Apparently the replacement windshield has some small, minor surface scratches on it that the shop people didn’t see until they finished and parked the car outside. The scratches are from another windshield as they sat next to each other at the shop. The shop was willing to cover my deductible if I wanted to keep that windshield, otherwise they would order a new one and I would have to cover the deductible. After asking a few questions about the integrity of the new windshield and checking out the scratches for myself (I could only see one myself before being shown the others)… I drove out of that shop with a new windshield and the deductible still in my pocket! And yes, I kept laughing all the way home after I said a big THANK YOU to my spiritual posse! I can just imagine them saying “see, we told you it would be ok”!!!

For the last few years I have had something that happens when I drive at night and I was reminded of it again last night as I drove home from an awesome weekend at my first expo.  I see a line of purple or purplish blue that appears on the right when I drive at night. It started when I had to drive late one night and I asked Archangel Michael to watch over me and get me home safely. I remember driving and seeing this strip of hazy purple on the side of the road. At first I thought it was an optical illusion because it seemed to be in the dirt only on the side of the road. However… the width of it changes, sometimes the color goes more blue and it can move from the dirt on the side of the road onto the road itself. On one foggy night, even the fog around the lights on the front lawn of a church turned purple as I drove by! If I have people in the car with me when I see it, I’ve asked them if they see it too, but they don’t. When I see that line I feel safe and at peace. I know it’s just another LIA way that Archangel Michael is letting me know he’s with me!

Sometimes LIA Moments are as simple as taking a moment to notice Mother Nature! Like watching falling leaves dance on the wind or noticing one branch moving on a tree while no others move, almost as if the tree is waving to you!

Last week my friend had one of her “psychic parties” and we ended up giving messages for each other. My message and guidance really hit home about something I have been working on and healing, but have not quite finished. I thought about it on the drive home, then had a dream that I felt gave me more insight. The next morning, I laid in bed thinking about it all and talking to Spirit. I had a few a-ha moments and felt some clarity about the whole situation. Later that night, I was with the friend who had thrown the party. I hadn’t told her anything about what I had been thinking or what I had done that morning. We were in the middle of eating when she turned to me and told me that she had just heard from Spirit that I had shifted! It was really nice to get that validation and again demonstrates how Spirit comes through in the most unexpected ways! Thank you to my friend who lets what she gets just flow right on out!

Every morning this week has been an LIA Moment for me as checked out am on-line daily angel card reading! Each day’s message was something I had picked up on the day before or that morning before I got out of bed. I would go to her site and start laughing when I saw the card or message! Every day it felt like Spirit was saying “Hey you got it! Good for you!”.

November 2016

One of the many things I love about having opened my abilities is that I can interact with my loved ones who have passed on. My dad passed away 21 years ago and for the longest time I wondered if he was around me. I had some unexplainable things happen that I thought were him, but I was never completely sure. My dad came through in a reading I had with Chip Coffey and I was happy beyond words! What came a year later though was even better! I was near the end of my Spiritual Counselor classes. As I finished meditating one day, I opened my eyes and immediately looked over at one corner of the room. Even though I couldn’t see him, I knew my dad was standing there. Then I heard him say “It’s about time!”. He came over to me and gave me a hug. I could feel his energy and realized I had been feeling that around me since he passed. He was just as excited as I was that I could finally pick up on him!

I feel like Spirit has really been having some fun with me this past week! Two days in a row I was sitting at my dining room table working on something and random feathers about ½” long (one was even in the shape of a circle) floated around right in front of me! Another night I had some music playing and started dancing to one of the songs. I felt so much energy around me and got massive goosebumps! I got the distinct feeling I wasn’t the only one dancing! I’ve also been seeing angel flashes around me with my eyes open and closed. My little plastic bird on my windowsill started chirping one day, even though I wasn’t even in that room! And yesterday I was telling someone about my guide, John, and boy did I get a case of the goosebumps that made us both laugh! I’m totally digging it! Looking forward to what they’ve got planned this week!

This week is Thanksgiving here in the US and I’ve been thinking about everything that I am grateful for in my life. This year has been filled with so many LIA moments! I feel like more and more is happening with Spirit as I continue to release the old, heal, open up and live my divine potential. I am grateful for all of their love, help, support, guidance and laughter! I am grateful for my family and friends and all that we share together! I have had some teachers come in, and go out, of my life. Thank you for the lessons, all of them, and helping me to grow! I am also grateful for all the experiences I’ve had, both the fun and not so fun ones, that have helped me get to where I am today. And I want to say thank you to everyone that has had a reading with me, a session with me or follows my work! Doing what I do is in itself an LIA moment for me because I sometimes almost can’t believe I am doing this, doing what I love! I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have many wonderful things in your life to be thankful for too!

This is part one of an experience that included a couple of LIA Moments for me. Although it wasn’t funny to me at the time, I look back at it now and am still amazed by what happened! As I was going through my classes to become a Spiritual Counselor, I had something happen one night that really scared me. I barely slept and woke up the next morning just frazzled. I was still scared and trying to figure out what to do. I remembered some prayers in a book by Chip Coffey that I have. I got the book, opened it to the back and the first thing I saw was the Lord’s Prayer. I closed my eyes and started saying it. It didn’t take long for me to feel this beautiful energy come in all around me. The energy was so strong and soothing that my fear started to disappear. I knew that I was protected and so very loved! Up until that moment, I had never really understood or fully appreciated the power of prayer!

December 2016

Part two – How I met Archangel Michael

Next I saw another prayer in the book asking Archangel Michael for help. I said the prayer and as I stood there, my legs starting feeling weird. They felt huge and solid, like tree trunks! I was trying to figure out what was going on and took a couple of steps, wondering if I was having some sort of seizure. Nope, my legs were working and I felt fine. I put the book away and went into the living room. As I was standing there, I felt like I was much taller. In fact, I felt much bigger than my body, like a gladiator with huge rippling muscles! I looked around the room trying to see if my perspective had changed. Was I really bigger or taller? Nope, my entertainment center was still taller than me, but somehow I felt like I was as tall as the ceiling! As my brain was in overdrive trying to find a logical reason, a thought popped into my head and somehow I knew it was Archangel Michael. I suddenly understood that he was showing me that I am much more powerful as spirit than I was giving myself credit for. It was an awesome power! Not in a tyrannical, let’s go bully someone kind of way. No, it was a ‘I have nothing to be afraid of’ kind of way that was also loving and kind. This all became clear to me in a matter of seconds. I’m not sure how long I stood there taking it all in, but I was flabbergasted! Did that just really happen to me?

I knew very little about Archangel Michael, so later on that day I went to the book store and found a book about him. It was filled with stories from people who had asked for Archangel Michael’s help. I learned that he is very strong and often depicted as very tall and muscular. His purpose is to eradicate fear. He also has an awesome sense of humor! The more I read, the more I knew that what I had experienced was real and that Archangel Michael had indeed helped me! He made such an impression on me that I asked him to be a part of my spiritual posse and I work with him every day! He has been helping me rise above fear and negativity and to understand who I really am as a spiritual being. When I think back about that day, even though I was scared, I understand it was part of my journey to get to where I am today. With Archangel Michaels’s help, I feel like I have come a long way since then and for that I am very grateful!

It’s been another funny week of signs! I went to ride my bike, which I have in a stationary stand in my basement, for the first time since it got cold here. I got on the bike and looked down by my feet to make sure everything was clear. That’s when I saw a small white feather on the floor just behind my left foot! Another night I was in the shower talking to Spirit about something that had been on my mind. I finished in the bathroom and walked out into the kitchen. I reached the sink and the little plastic bird in my office window tweeted out of the blue. That’s grandma! I said hi to her and felt energy around me. As I thanked her for letting me know she was with me, I started tearing up because it reminded me of how loved and supported I am. It can really put things into perspective!

Now this had me scratching my head a bit, but I think I figured it out. I was sitting at my dining room table, working on my laptop. I have a vase with fresh winter greens at the other end of the table. As I was looking at the screen, I saw movement just off the right edge of it. That’s when I saw a few needles (on a small piney-type of tree branch) actually moving! Nothing else in the vase moved, just those needles. Nothing was touching the greens, there was no breeze, the furnace wasn’t running and I didn’t move the table. Then last night I was sitting in my living room, talking on the phone with a friend. I have a bunch of stuff on the floor that I have been collecting to donate. Behind that pile are two plants. As I was looking at the pile, I noticed something move. It was one leave on one of the plants! It surprised me and I even interrupted my friend as she was talking! No other leaves were moving (there are three others around it), just the one. It went back and forth as if were waving at me, then it stopped! I’m curious to see if this keeps happening. Earlier this year I was told during two different readings that I have fairies around me. I’ve been learning more about them and have started working with them a bit. I think maybe the fairies are letting me know they are around!

Last week I was shown again just how connected we really are to one another! It started with one of my cousins. We had planned over a month ago to get together last week and make some holiday treats. At the beginning of December I had gone to an annual holiday greens market. When I walked in, I saw these beautiful arrangements in mugs and immediately thought of my cousin. I thought it would be a nice gift to take since we were making the treats at her house. I did hem and haw about it a little, because it would be another 2 weeks before I saw her and I wasn’t sure how long the greens would last. All I know is that I kept going back to the display, looking at and smelling the arrangements. I know this feeling, this pull, all too well, so I bought one. Last week when I went to my cousin’s, she pulled the arrangement out of the bag and was so excited! She said she had been looking at something similar a few days before, but didn’t get it. Now she had one! Perfect timing!

The next surprise happened with one of my friends. In October, I was participating in an expo and kept seeing a woman walking around who looked a lot like my friend. I had texted her and told her that seeing the woman was throwing me for a loop, because each time I thought it was my friend (she lives on the east coast, so it would have been a surprise!). Well last week as I texted with my friend she sent me this… “By the way, that text you sent me on October 8th about thinking you had seen me at a psychic fair was very interesting! I had been thinking about sneaking up on you at one of the fairs that you were doing that particular month and I had been checking into flights and hotels to surprise you. It was so unbelievable that you had sent me that text because that probably would have been the weekend I would have been there. I nearly fell over when you sent that and I’ve been meaning to tell you ever since.”

Sometimes it’s easy to overlook signs we get because they can be subtle. It’s another reason that I continually talk about sharing what you get and experience. Part of the connection is sharing. When we share we also get validation. If I hadn’t bought the arrangement for my cousin, then I doubt she would have mentioned that she had been looking at one or wanted one. If I hadn’t texted my friend, then she wouldn’t have known what I had seen on my end and I may have never known what she was planning on her end. It’s so great to feel that connection and know it exists, no matter how far apart you are or how often you see each other!

January 2017
As I was reflecting on the past year, I had a moment where I realized how much more I have come to understand who I really am. How I’m listening more to my intuition and trusting it. How I’m seeing and understanding more of what I get from Spirit and not just listening, but also acting on it. How I’m loving myself more in my thoughts, words and actions. How I’m honoring my higher self in my thoughts, words and actions. How the more I do all of that, the happier I feel, which leads to my world feeling better and brighter too. As I realized all that, I felt so grateful to be right there at that moment just as I am. There was something so beautiful in what I felt. And then I felt the energy go up around me, a love around me and in me that words cannot describe. With a start like that, it’s going to be a great year (it already is!)!!

I love when Spirit shows me they were listening! Yesterday morning I looked at an on-line angel card for the day. As I read the message, it reflected a really cool conversation I had with a friend the night before. During the conversation, my friend had shared an experience he had involving a sword that had belonged to his brother. Guess what was in the picture on the card? A sword – front and almost center!!

The past couple of weeks it has been really cold here in Michigan. The good news for me is that despite the cold, we don’t have a lot of ice on the sidewalks so I can continue going for a walk. I’ve learned how to bundle up so I can enjoy my walks when the temps are even in the teens. Before I leave, I always ask Archangel Michael to get me back home safely and to also come with me. When it was really cold, I was teasing him that he should put on a scarf, gloves and a hat to stay warm. After a couple days of doing that, I was getting ready to leave and asked him to walk with me. Before I even finished the thought of suggesting a hat and gloves, I got a flash of a figure wearing a hat and scarf! It happened to suddenly and quickly that it took me a moment to realize what had happened! Archangel Michael was showing me he was ready for our walk! Looked pretty dapper too! Awesome!

Sometimes it feels good to get some validation about a question mark in your life. Spirit gave me that last week. A couple years ago, there was an opportunity for me to free-lance with a company that ended up falling through. For the sake of explaining this, I will call the company Tall Place. I’d been excited because it fit in with my schedule, would be a great learning experience and I even had a dream about it months before I knew about it! I was disappointed when it fell through. Even though I knew there was a reason for it, every once in a while I wondered about it. Fast forward to last week. I was at the shop (a part-time job), which is at an intersection in town. I was doing something and looked up. There was a truck stopped at the light and my eyes went to the business name on it – Taller Place! I immediately got goosebumps and knew Spirit was telling me I was doing something better. A day or two later I went for my daily walk. Two blocks from my house I passed some guys working outside at a house. Their truck was parked at the curb. On the side of it… Taller Place! I won’t be wondering about that job anymore!

February 2017

This past week I had some situations that I would describe as prickly. You know, the things that come up as you deal with people or conduct business or just try to live your life?! The kinds of situations where we joke that we’d rather go to the dentist than deal with it. This is where I have to give a shout out to Archangel Raguel. He helps to bring harmony to relationships and heal misunderstandings. I’ve been asking for his help when I have to talk to someone and I feel nervous about the conversation. Or when I feel emotional about a situation and need to deal with it calmly. He helps me find the right words to use and/or the right way to approach the situation or person. There have been times when I have gotten riled up about something and haven’t always liked what has come out of my mouth as a result. I know I can do better. I want my thoughts, words and actions to honor who I truly am. With the help of Archangel Raguel, I have been navigating these prickly situations better. In fact, I was so happy with how smoothly a recent conversation went (one that made me a bit nervous), that afterwards I was doing a little dance and gave Archangel Raguel a hi-five! Yay!

Yesterday while I was walking to the shop, I was talking to one of my guides about changes that are happening to me. I was asking for help to let go of fear and embrace the changes. To actually be excited about what’s ahead instead of sitting there, holding my breath and gripping the arms of a chair like I’m watching a horror movie! As I crossed the street, I happened to look at the door of a building I pass regularly. On it I saw the word TEAM. I’ve walked past this place so many times and have never seen that before! It made me smile and again know that I’ve got my spiritual posse helping me always! On the way home, I was the only one on the street as a car passed by. I didn’t pay it any attention, but after it passed me I suddenly heard a song on the radio (it was loud enough that the window had to be open, which is strange because I didn’t hear any music as the car approached me). Clear as a bell I heard “know you’re not alone”. It took me a couple of seconds to recognize the song Home by Phillip Phillips. I think Spirit is telling me they heard me!

My grandmother has been playing around with the plastic bird on my windowsill this past week! It started one night before I went to sleep. I was trying to read, but I had something on my mind that was bothering me. As I was figuring out how to let it go, I remembered that Louise Hay had written about sometimes needing a physical release. So I punched my pillow (it did the trick!). Just after I did that, the plastic bird chirped! It surprised the heck out of me! The next night, I was in bed reading around the same time and out of the blue, the bird chirped! The third night, I was actually asleep and at some point, I remember waking up and hearing the bird chirp! As I’m writing this I’m laughing because I just realized it happened three times and Spirit knows I like my signs in threes!  I know my grandma is with me often and she knows I can feel her around me. Still, it was nice of her to let me know… a little reminder if it slips my mind!

One of the things I talk to Spirit about a lot is owning my power. Knowing who I am in spiritual truth and living in that truth. As I was thinking about that the other day, I remembered something I experienced with God a couple years ago. I had been listening to a podcast and the speaker talked about trusting God. He would visualize himself climbing on God’s back and trusting that all would be ok. That really intrigued me, so I tried it. For me, the vision was climbing up on God’s back, but I always moved to God’s shoulder. There was something about feeling like I was sharing the view with God that really resonated with me. One day I went to climb on God’s shoulder, but for some reason I couldn’t picture it. I tried a few times but it wasn’t happening. The next thing I know, I see myself walking next to a very big figure, who is holding my hand. In that instant, I got that God was telling me I don’t have to ride on his shoulder. I am capable of walking myself and that God is there with me. I felt so much love in that moment. The vision and the understanding of it happened so quickly and caught me by surprise! I’m not sure how to describe it except to say that I felt so loved that I burst into tears from the sheer joy of what I felt! It’s a powerful reminder of who I really am… and who you are too!

March 2017

Last week as I was unloading groceries from my car, something caught my attention on the ground near one of the tires. This is what I found!

It was about an inch long and I was surprised I even saw it! I finished with the groceries, parked the car in the garage and was walking towards the house. I looked down and saw another feather. I thought it was the same one I initially saw, so I didn’t pay it any mind until I got back to the front of the house and saw the first one still lying there! Just those two on the driveway, no others around. About an hour later, I went for a walk and at the first intersection by my house, I noticed something in the street. As I passed by it, I saw that it was a big dark feather, probably from a crow. I’m surprised I even saw it because the road is a dark color and it was mangled up a bit. It was then that I realized I had seen 3 feathers in about an hour’s time (spirit knows I like my signs in threes!)! Over the next few days I also kept seeing 444 – in angel numbers it means the angels are around you and/or helping you. Loving it!

The feathers continue! There was one that floated in front of my face as I was talking to Spirit while brushing my teeth one day. This next one had me laughing and I’ve left it as a reminder! This is what I saw in my shower curtain after getting out of the shower the other day!

They keep showing up in the oddest places!

Two weeks ago, the check engine light came on in my car. Poop! I just had it in for an oil change and started worrying about how much this would cost me. It took me a few days, but I eventually called one morning and made an appointment to bring it in for service the next day. Afterwards, I was driving somewhere and kept looking at that light on the dashboard. Instead of worrying any more, I decided to ask Archangel Michael for help. I arrived at my destination with the light still on. A few hours later, I came back to my car, started it and couldn’t believe my eyes when the light didn’t come on! It was a relief to call and cancel the appointment! It’s been a week, still running fine!

April 2017

I’ve had an amazing week of angel numbers! Clocks, my odometer, game scores, license plates and receipts! The more I see them, the more they make me laugh!

As I’ve been watching Wayne Dyer’s video, I am thinking more about living my truth. Last week and yesterday as I left for the psychic fair, I added something new to my usual pre-departure from home routine. I said “ok Spirit, let’s go shine our light out into the world. Please let people see or feel my light.” I almost fell out of my seat last week when a person came to my table and said they wanted to get a reading with me because they could see my light around me! And yesterday, one of my fellow readers, without knowing anything about this, made a comment about how bright I shine my light! Confirmation that Spirit was listening! Lovin’ it!

I went out for my walk yesterday after reading an affirmation about living in and enjoying the moment. I was enjoying the warm breeze on my skin, the sun peeping out from the clouds and the beauty of the flowers and trees blooming. As I got near the end of my walk, I said in my head, “God, living in the moment feels really good! I’m really happy!”. A second or two later, I heard a man yell “yeahhhhhh!” from somewhere down the block. Maybe he was watching a sports game and his team scored. Maybe he found a chocolate Easter bunny. The reason doesn’t matter, but the timing was perfect and made me laugh! I think God was using a little synchronicity to confirm living in the moment!

This past weekend I participated in an expo and had a wonderful time! On Saturday as I finished for the day, I was thanking my guide Thoma for his help. I was so happy about the day I had and how much I enjoyed the readings! I don’t think I had even finished thanking Thoma when I got massive goosebumps from head to toe! Seems that Thoma enjoyed the day of readings too! Yay!

May 2017

A couple weeks ago I was revising my website and promo materials that I use at fairs. I was looking at the pictures of me and thought that I could really use some more recent ones. Last week I was walking home with my co-worker from the shop (she’s also my neighbor). Out of the blue, she mentioned that she is an avid photographer and would be willing to take pictures of me for my business! Then the next day I was talking to a friend. Out of the blue, he mentioned that his sister is a photographer and I should talk with her about having some pictures taken for my business! I couldn’t stop laughing as I told him what had happened the day before! Talk about manifesting! Woohoo!

Yesterday was an awesome day! It was amazing on so many levels – being aware of my thoughts, setting intentions, manifesting, using the Law of Attraction, Divine timing and seeing some ideas come to fruition. When I got home last night I was grinning from ear to ear! As I got ready for bed, I was thinking about how everything seemed to just flow and talking to Spirit about it. I was thanking everyone for their help and then stopped for a second. I felt like my heart was singing and I realized how happy I really was. I said aloud to my guide, “Thoma, I’m really happy!”. I immediately got goosebumps all over and could feel Thoma and my spiritual posse around me, cheering me on! Now that’s what I call living!

Last week I was meditating one night and ended up dozing off. I woke up, started meditating again and dozed off again. This happened a few times. Finally, I woke up and was still sitting with my eyes closed, wondering how long I had been asleep. I knew it had to be getting late and wondered what time it was. In my mind’s eye, I saw a clock that said 12:14. I immediately reached over and picked up my phone. All I could do was laugh when I saw it was 12:14!

This week’s moment is about the power of asking God or the universe for help. This past month I have asked for help with a number of things. Since then, people have been coming into my life in different ways – by referral, through the fair, through family members and friends – and they have helped or are helping me in some way, both directly and indirectly. I have received messages and ideas that have led to help in some way. I even have a business proposition because of something that was said by a person sitting next to me! And it’s not just me! Yesterday I saw a friend, who has been having some issues with social media, get help very unexpectedly. I had met with her a few weeks ago to try and help her. After not being able to find a solution, I told her to put it out to the universe that she needed help. Viola! Not only did she get help with her issue, she even got a bit more in the process that is helping her with her business! And when looking back and seeing how the help came together for each of us, I can only laugh at how beautifully Spirit did it!

I started off last week feeling unsettled. I figured it had to do with the bombing in the UK and all the fear it tried to bring into the world. I reminded myself to stay centered and clear myself energetically. As the week went on, I started to get that familiar feeling for myself that change was coming in my life. The last few years I have become aware of this feeling and in the past I would fight it, ignore it or distract myself from it. This time I just stayed aware of it and decided to let things flow as they would. In fact, I even joked with a friend that something Spirit has been teaching me must have stuck because despite all the stuff that was happening to me last week, I felt calm on the inside! Well, I’m happy to share that yesterday I realized the shift had happened. I have a new car (I still almost can’t believe how smoothly that went!), all the drama resolved itself and I have a beautiful person that has come into my life. There’s a smile on my face… and in my heart! God and Spirit do work in beautifully mysterious and perfectly timed ways!

June 2017

Last week was a bit of a whirlwind for me. I made a point to make sure I was grounded and centered, but I found my thoughts wandering into Stinkin’ Thinkin’ territory. At some point, I knew I could use a boost, so I told my spiritual posse that I could use a warm fuzzy. Within a minute I had goosebumps from head to toe! It was an awesome reminder that I am never alone and my posse is always there for me. And although the whirlwind continued for a couple of days, I was better able to stay centered and not get caught up in it!

I am a manifesting mama! Last week I was at the shop and no one had come in for almost 2 hours. I put it out to the universe that it would be great if some people who speak Japanese would come in so I could practice with them. About 30 minutes later, two Asian women came into the shop. Guess what language they were speaking… Japanese! In the course of helping them, I spoke some Japanese with them and found out that they are mother and daughter. I also found out that the mother’s father was from the same region where I was an exchange student! Small world! They left and a few minutes later the daughter returned. She asked if I would like to get together for coffee sometime and practice my Japanese. Most definitely! As Abraham/Hicks says “co-creating at its best”!

The other day I received an idea from Spirit for a special while I was out for a walk. It’s based on something I created for myself that I have on my refrigerator. I continued thinking about it for the rest of the walk, letting it play out in my mind and getting excited about sharing it with others. As soon as I got home, my focus went to others things and I pushed the idea to the back of my mind. Yesterday my parents came over for Father’s Day. As I was by the stove making dinner for us, I had a small floor fan running to keep things cool. Suddenly, something fell off the refrigerator. I have a lot of stuff on my refrigerator, but wouldn’t you know… it was what I had created that is related to the idea I got on my walk! Nothing else, just that!

It’s funny how Spirit can bring the right person to you at the right time. Saturday, I was trying to work through something that was bothering me. I was at the shop and thought of a few people to call, but I knew they were busy with something else or couldn’t talk. Less than an hour later, my phone rang. It was a friend who I had thought of earlier, but didn’t call because I thought he was on his way to the airport or maybe already in flight. When I answered, he was laughing and said “I didn’t mean to call you”. He said Spirit had him touch his phone and when he did, he hit my number. We chatted for a couple minutes and then I asked him for help with what I was working through. By the end of the conversation, I had guidance (yes, he’s psychic) to help me with the situation and I felt so much better! I was so grateful that my friend had listened to and honored what Spirit had guided him to do!

July 2017

Last week I leaned on my spirit posse a bit as I went through a trying but valuable lesson. I felt confused about some stuff and wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing. Things got interesting when I went out to do some errands one night.

I normally do these errands during the day, but that night I felt like I should go and get them done. I needed to get some gas, so I checked my gas app and found a station near where I was going that had gas for $2.19. I was on the road, looking for the station, when I felt like I had gone too far. I turned into what I thought was the $2.19 station, only to see the price was $2.22. My first thought was ‘hey, what happened?’! Then I realized I was looking at 222, which in angel numbers means keep the faith and don’t give up hope. Hmmmm! I pumped the gas and when it stopped, I looked at the display. My total was $22.22! I tried to top off the tank like I usually do, but no more gas came out. My total stayed at $22.22.

I left the station, going back the way I came. It was then that I saw that I had passed the $2.19 gas station! I never even saw it, which is funny because I’ve been there before and know where it is! I finished my errands and on the way home realized the local park was having its annual fireworks that night. I impulsively decided to pull into the parking lot of some stores, which was full of cars already. I drove around for a few minutes and found a spot. 20 minutes later the fireworks started and I was in a really good spot to see them from my car. On my drive home, I was taking in all that had happened that evening, grateful for the nudge to go out and the reassuring signs!

I’m giving a HUGE shout out to my spirit posse! I’ve been dealing with something that’s weighed heavy on my heart for the past few weeks. It’s easy when you’re in the middle of a painful situation to get caught up in your head and emotions. When you do that though, you make it harder to hear and receive help from Spirit. Last Sunday, through guidance that I received directly from Spirit and a psychic friend, I learned to trust and relax. Once I did that, so much came though that helped me ground and center myself again. I heard my posse clearer and more frequently, friends seemed to call at the right time when I really needed them, situations occurred that gave me insight or cheered me up. It felt like the universe was conspiring to help me overcome what I was going through! Although the situation didn’t turn out the way I had hoped, Spirit keeps reassuring me that everything is ok. And in my heart, I know that that is true!

This past week for me has been about getting quiet so that I can hear Spirit more clearly. I took the time during walks, after waking up in the morning, sitting out on my patio in the evening, even during slow times at the shop. The things that come through simply amaze me! On my walk the other day, I had two things suddenly pop into my head that helped me see some stuck emotions that I was ready to release. I felt a lot lighter by the time I got home! My favorite quiet time though is in the morning after I wake up. I talk with God and my spirit posse and get so much clarity about things in my life! It all helps me tremendously in dealing gracefully with the things going on in my life and in moving forward. It’s just a matter of me remembering to take that time… I’m happy to say I’m getting better at it!

I wish I had a video to show you all the little signs that have happened to me in the last week! From all the cardinals that flew in front of me (hi grandpa!), to my little plastic bird on my windowsill chirping in the middle of the night (hi grandma!), to my dad’s birthday appearing on clocks (hi dad!), to all the angel flashes, to the angel numbers appearing all over, to the animals that keep showing up in 3s, to the signs that have shown up in 3s about specific things I’ve asked. It’s been truly spectacular! I wish I had the words to express how loved and supported I feel!

I just want to say thank you to everyone I’ve interacted with in the last week! I am in the process of making more changes in my life and following what feels right for me. I am grateful for the amazing conversations, experiences and interactions I’ve had! Each one has helped me in some way get clearer about what I want or even who I am. Spirit has really been helping me learn some important lessons and sort out things that have happened or are happening in my life. I can’t say enough about letting go of trying to control everything! It frees you up to focus on and manifest your heart’s desires!

August 2017

One day last month, I was thinking about some previous relationships that had ended. I thought about what I had learned from each relationship. I thanked each person for what they had helped me learn and then sent them love, hoping that they were all happy and healthy. Later that night, I received a text that surprised the heck out of me! It was from one of the people I had been thinking about, who I had not spoken to for a year! We ended up talking that night and had a really good conversation in which the person apologized for how they had treated me. I got off the phone and was amazed at how the day had unfolded from my thoughts that morning to our conversation that night. I know that loves heals, but wow, that even blew my mind! Since then, we have kept in touch and even hung out a few times. The whole thing has been very healing and I’m grateful for the second chance with this friendship!

This past week has been about synchronicity! A number of things just fell into place – calls that came at the right time or after I thought about someone; plans or appointments changing, which freed up my schedule a bit and even allowed me to have a day to myself; and after putting it out to the universe that I’m looking for a new hairdresser, finding one during a reading yesterday! Yay!

It’s been a week of harnessing the energy of the solar eclipse and new moon to release the old and get ready for the new! I’ve received messages from others about moving forward and a shift in energy within me that flows more. My dreams have shown me the areas where I am ready to release and heal. They have also shown me glimpses of what I am manifesting and I have to say, it is very exciting to me! I’ve been feeling the need to change some things in my life that are no longer working for me and talking to my spirit posse about how best to make these changes. One day I asked Thoma about something I was wondering about and immediately had goose bumps from head to toe! I took it as a yes! Another day I came home from my walk and found this next to my front door!

I encourage everyone to use this powerful time to help shift or change anything that’s not working for you! Open up to your divine potential and shine on!

The past week has been filled with opportunities to practice self-love, trust my intuition and see things more clearly! I had a few situations come up that made me cringe a little on the inside as they happened. Instead of getting upset, I stayed calm and did what felt right for me. In the end, everything worked out fine. Later on, as I thought about the situations with my spirit posse, I saw things clearer and realized I made some pretty good decisions and/or acted in a way that honored myself in the moment! Yay for intuition! I also had some very vivid dreams! One dream put a past relationship into a different perspective and helped me resolve some things that were still lingering from it. Another dream helped me see how I haven’t been using my time very effectively and how that gets in the way of living a more fulfilled life. Then yesterday, I did Angel Cards for myself and asked what I needed to know. I got two cards – “Your Inner Guidance Is Real And Trustworthy” and “Respect”. I felt like Spirit was validating what I did the past week and encouraging me to keep on going!

September 2017

At last Sunday’s fair, I got a bit of a surprise! During the previous week, I had been getting down on myself for not meditating or clearing myself as much as I would have liked the last few weeks. My guide, Thoma, reminded me that I have been adjusting to a new schedule and to stop being so hard on myself. He also pointed out that I have techniques that I use on a daily basis. They may seem small to me but they do make a difference. Fast forward to the fair, where I was talking with two of the readers. Out of the blue, one of them started telling me the colors she saw around me. I didn’t know she saw colors like that, so I was surprised to hear what she said! The colors meant something specific to me about my energetic system and heart. She ended with one more thing that I have never heard before and I’m still processing. When she finished, Thoma’s reminder from earlier in the week flashed into my head. I knew it was validation for me, another source of the same info along with something new that is very encouraging to me! Thank you to Bethany, Thoma and my Spirit posse for having that all come together in the way that it did! Simply amazing!

I dreamed last week about our family dog, Sadie, who passed away 15 years ago. In the dream, she wandered off and I was worried about her. Just before I woke up, I heard my brother say “oh there you are” and I knew he was referring to Sadie. Even after waking up though, I still felt a little worried and unsettled as I had in the dream. I went to my part-time job, where we were having a campaign to donate to the leader dog organization here in town. Anyone who donated got a small card to write their name on and we taped it to the wall. A couple came in and as I began to ring them up, they decided to donate. I gave them the card to write on as I finished the transaction. When I turned around and gave them their receipt, I looked down at the card and paused for a second. They had written their dog’s name on the card… Sadie! I immediately felt better and I have a sneaky suspicion someone was telling me she is ok!

Many of you know that when I see signs from Spirit, I ask for them to come in threes. Well, it happened again, again in the most unexpected of ways. Two weeks ago, I was working at the shop and popped out the front door for something. I looked down and saw a huge grasshopper near the edge of the sidewalk. I was concerned someone would step on it, so I moved it to one of the flower beds that line the street. A couple days later, I came home and found this handsome guy hanging next to my front door. I looked up grasshopper in my spirit animal book and the meaning fit right in with some things I’ve been thinking of doing. But wait… that was only two grasshoppers. Where’s the third? Yesterday at the psychic fair, I was talking with another reader and for some reason I showed her the picture of the grasshopper by my door. She got all excited and pulled up a picture on her phone. It was a huge grasshopper that she had found on the hood of her car recently! And that makes three!

There has been a lot going on the last week or so and I am grateful for my Spirit posse and all their love and support! There have been feathers, angel numbers, moments when some things became very clear, intuitive hits that were followed by validation, help with a tense situation and even reminders to be aware of my thoughts and words. I asked Archangel Raguel for help with a situation and during it, I found myself staying calm and able to see it play out, like watching a chess game. I also found myself saying things that diffused the situation and I walked away happy with how I had conducted myself! I got a message that the more I love myself the more I respect my time and energy. I then heard it on a show on Hay House Radio and also had someone say the same thing in a conversation (that’s 3!). I took the message to heart and have been considering my time and energy as I make decisions in situations. It has already helped me four times in steering clear of some things that were not in my best interest! All of these things have added up in a way that I didn’t see until later. When I saw the bigger picture though, it amazed me yet again at how Spirit works!

October 2017

The angels have been pretty active around me because there have been feathers everywhere! While I’m walking, I’ll happen to look down and see a feather in the grass, on the sidewalk and even on the side of the street. I was working on my laptop in the dining room and a tiny feather floated in front of my face. I have no idea where that came from! There was a feather lying on the sidewalk leading up to my front porch. And this was on the mat outside my backdoor the other day!

Earlier this year, as I was channeling healing energy to my cousin, I was also receiving information to give to her. One of the things I saw was her putting on yellow socks. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it meant and I didn’t receive any more info about it. When I was finished, I texted her and told her what I had received, including the vision with the yellow socks. She called me and was laughing! That morning she had been rushing to get ready for work and was looking for her socks in the laundry basket. She couldn’t find hers and instead grabbed a pair of her daughter’s socks. Guess what color was in them… yellow! Gotta love Spirit’s sense of humor!

The angels continue with their signs! Last Monday I went to the library to do a little research. I got a list of books that I wanted to look at and went to the shelves to find them. I found one of them and pulled it off the shelf. I heard a small thud and looked down to see a much smaller book lying face down on the floor. I picked it up and could only laugh when I saw the title on the front… Signs From Above: Your Angels’ Messages about Your Life Purpose, Relationships, Health, and More! And of course, there’s a picture of an angel too! The book was about half the size of the books on either side of it, so it was sort of squished between them and I didn’t even see it until it fell out! Later on, I was standing at the sink having a snack when I looked over at the clock on the stove… 4:44 (the angels are around you). The rest of the week I continued to see 444 all over and the feathers are still showing up too! Yay!

Twice last week I had interesting experiences with electronics that left me laughing! The first was during a reading at an expo. I had my phone next to me with the timer going. While I was talking I heard a beep and out of the corner of my eye I saw the screen change. I looked down and saw “how can I help you?” on my screen. I was so focused on the reading that I was thrown for a loop there for a couple seconds, trying to figure out what was going on! Apparently, I activated Siri although I didn’t say ‘hey Siri’ or anything that I think resembled it. Hmmm. A few days later I was in the storage area of the shop I work at part-time. I was moving stuff around and suddenly heard “hello”. That one shocked me! I stopped and looked around, but no one was there. Then I started hearing music. What the…? It took me a few seconds, but then I saw something flashing in a bag. I looked in it and found a bunch of toys and one of them must have kicked on when I moved the bag!

My angel numbers continue! I came home from an expo last Sunday to find my refrigerator wasn’t working. Darn it! I had a repairman come out and got the news that it was better to just replace the fridge. The repairman was associated with the store where I had bought the fridge. They had a deal that if I decided to buy a new fridge instead of repair it, I would receive a coupon for a discount on a new one. After the repairmen left, I jumped on-line to do a little research for my new fridge. I was happy to see that a similar fridge was on sale at that store and even happier that I could use the discount and save a little more! I called the store’s customer service to ask about how to get the coupon. The first person I spoke to said she would email the coupon right away. As I waited for the coupon to arrive, I looked at two other stores and found similar fridges, but for more money. The obvious answer was to go with the first store and use the coupon.

After 15 minutes, the coupon hadn’t arrived and I was ready to go, so I called customer service again. Long story short, after 45 minutes and one more call to customer service, I still didn’t have a coupon and was now being told it could take up to 3 days to receive the coupon. I was so frustrated that I decided to go to the second store I had researched. As I was driving there, I actually passed the third store and for a moment I almost turned to go to it, but didn’t. I arrived at the second store and did not have a good experience. On top of that, they didn’t have the fridge in stock. It would be another 2 weeks before I could have it delivered. I then went to the third store. I was trying to stay calm so I could feel if this was the right move for me. Ten minutes later, I was sitting at a desk with a salesman, going over the final details before purchasing a fridge. They could deliver it in 3 days… the day I had off from the shop (normally I work that day!). A week before, I had been thinking about participating in a fair that day, but I kept getting an intuitive nudge not to do it, so I ended up not signing up for it. Yay for intuition (and following it!)! What came next confirmed I was in the right place. When the salesman rang up the total, there were three 4’s in a row! I came home and was thinking about all that had just happened. I checked my email and guess what, the coupon was there! In fact, the time stamp on it said it was delivered a few minutes after I got off the phone with the first customer service rep. I had checked my email on my laptop and phone and it was definitely not there at that time or before I left the house 45 minutes later! I get the distinct feeling that I was being led away from the first store for some reason! I’m happy to say that the delivery went smoothly (even the delivery guys were really nice and considerate!), I am the happy owner of a new fridge and I’m still laughing in amazement! Plus I continue to see 444 on clocks and I even had a final score of 444 on a game I played!

November 2017

Besides a continuation of angel numbers, especially 444, I had a pleasant surprise when I stepped out of the shower yesterday morning. As I reached down to dry off my calves and feet, I saw a white feather, maybe an inch long, next to my right foot. I know that wasn’t there when I laid the floor mat down before getting in the shower! Loving my angel signs!

Last weekend I had a dream where I was fixated on something starting at 10:30. When I woke up, I couldn’t figure out what the time represented. As I was writing down the dream, when I wrote 10:30 it hit me that it wasn’t a time, it was a date – October 30. I was racking my brain, trying to remember what happened on the 30th, but nothing stood out to me.

A few days later I went to my women’s circle, where we were going to learn about a goddess from Greek mythology called Hecate. I had never heard of her, but was looking forward to learning about her because the description said she helps people with their shadow self. We opened the circle and invited Hecate to join us. I could feel her come in and her presence was very palpable to me. I experienced a few things and felt a connection with Hecate. At the end of circle, I shared what I had experienced with the woman who had given the presentation about Hecate. She told me that one of the times of the year when Hecate is very strong is around Halloween! Hmmmm! The next morning, I woke up and was lying there, thinking about what had happened the night before. All of a sudden, I could feel Hecate and I started getting information about her, what she does and the shadow self. It was amazing! I’m excited to be working with her so I can explore more about my shadow self to help me learn and grow!

I was recently texting with my cousin the day she was flying out of town for a friend’s memorial. I was sharing some info about her friend that I had received, then had asked Archangel Michael and Raphael to watch over her and her family as they traveled. I was feeling the archangels’ energy when I suddenly saw her mom, who passed away about 10 years ago. She was in front of a cockpit door with a pilot’s hat on and a huge smile! It was so funny and playful and I knew my aunt was saying ‘hey, I’m in on this too!’. I shared that with my cousin and that’s when she told me it was her mom’s birthday that day! She commented that ‘it’s one big party up there today’. As I was responding to her, I started hearing chirping outside my window. I looked up and saw a cardinal on the roof of my neighbor’s porch. Our grandpa often shows up as a cardinal. I sent the picture to my cousin and we both agreed that everyone was coming out to play with us! That night, I also had a very vivid dream with my cousin and her mom. I talked with my cousin the other day and she said their trip was flawless, not even a bump in the sky as they flew! Big love out to Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, Cioci, grandpa and anyone else who came out to play (and co-create) with us that day!

Yesterday my cousin came to visit and we spent the day together. Just after she arrived at my house, I was in the bathroom getting my stuff together. I had the window open to air out the steam after my shower earlier. That’s when I heard a blue jay making noise outside. It made me smile… there’s grandma! Funny too, my cousin is named after our grandma! And yes, we had a really fun day together!

December 2017

The past week has been amazing with the archangels, especially during readings! I was doing some energy work with someone and felt Archangel Raphael’s presence. I told the person that Archangel Raphael wanted to help them heal if they would allow it. The person asked Archangel Raphael in and I could feel him immediately start helping them to heal. As this was happening, I also felt Archangel Michael come forward. Again, I told the person and they asked Archangel Michael to come in and help. I could feel Archangel Michael reassuring them that he was there supporting them. The feeling was so powerful and loving that I started crying. I shared the words that I was hearing and it had an emotional impact on them too. So beautiful!

In another reading, I was again doing energy work with someone and something about Archangel Michael came up. I could feel his presence there, so I suggested that the person ask Archangel Michael to come in so they could “meet”. The person did and when I opened my eyes for a second, they were smiling! It was a really cool introduction and I’m certain that the person will be having more amazing interactions with Archangel Michael as time goes on!

Sometimes there are no words…

I had a chance to meet my aunt (my dad’s sister, who he was very close to) the other day for lunch. As I was sitting at a light on my way to meet her, I glanced at the license plate of the car in front of me. The 3 letters on the plate tripped something in my mind. It took me a few seconds to remember that those were the letters of the medication that my dad took the last 3 years of his life when he was sick. I said hi to my dad and made a note to tell my aunt. Of course, we sat down, started talking and I forgot about the license plate. At some point, my aunt brought up my dad and said she had been thinking of him lately. She told me that recently she had been at a light and happened to look at the license plate in front of her. It was my dad’s initials! Of course, that jogged my memory and I told her about the license plate I saw on my way to see her! My dad loved being the center of attention, so I’m sure he was just laughing it up at his handy work and how he got us to talk about him!

January 2018

This is a special shout out to my Spirit team and all of the love, guidance and support they gave me during the holidays! It was busy for me (a good busy!) and even though time seemed to be speeding by at times, I really enjoyed the holidays! My team helped me in so many ways: jogging my memory about things I had forgotten or misplaced; keeping as regular a schedule as possible; reminding me about my thoughts if I got into any Stinkin’ Thinkin’; guiding me through situations and interactions with people; reminding me to take time to get quiet and center, even when I thought I didn’t have enough time to do it (it included getting quiet in places I hadn’t thought about) and a number of other things. Even at the shop where I work part-time, I asked Spirit to help with everyone I met – that our interaction goes well and we both walk away the better for it. And it happened! I met a lot of really fun and interesting people! Not bad for retail, huh?! There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for my team and their presence in my life. I’m excited to see what we will accomplish together in 2018!

It’s been an amazing start to the new year with LOTS of angel numbers showing up, especially 111 (be are of your thoughts), 333 (master teachers are with you and helping you) and 444 (the angels are with you and helping you)! It’s awesome confirmation for me because I have been asking more for help from Spirit and working with particular beings in my spirit posse. Sometimes it’s provided a boost for me when I start feeling frustrated or negative about something. Other times it’s felt like a “way to go” when I accomplished something. And other times it’s been a reminder, a sort of ‘hey, is this what you really want?”. It’s been super helpful in keeping me focused on my goals and I’m seeing the results! Loving it!

After Prince passed on, I wrote about feeling his energy around me and asking him to help inspire me creatively. I have a picture of his face on my vision board, along with a picture of him jamming out on his guitar. Looking at that second picture inspires me because I can feel how much he was in his creative flow. About two weeks ago I was feeling frustrated with some ideas and asked Prince to help me. A few days later, a woman whose name I didn’t recognize liked something on my Facebook page. I’m always curious how people find my page, so sometimes I’ll look at their page to see how they got to mine. When the woman’s profile came up, there were two pictures for her cover photo. The larger one I think was a picture of her. The smaller one was a picture of Prince! Then last week I went to my belly dancing class. I walked in and there was the instructor with a shirt on that had… you guessed it!… Prince written across it! It looks like my request was heard!

Last week I was out for a walk in the park. I was coming up to a split in the path and decided to take the shorter way home because even though it was sunny, it was still cold! As I got to the split I suddenly heard the song ‘Take The Long Way Home’ in my head. What? Are you kidding me? It’s cold out here! Well, I’m getting better at trusting what comes to me, so I took the longer way. About 2 minutes later I came up to a guy walking his dog. I said hello to him and he stopped. He told me to be on the look out for a hawk he had just seen. Cool! I love hawks because they have a special meaning to me spiritually! I looked for it as I was walking, but couldn’t find it. Darn! Now I’m heading in the direction of home. I go three blocks and start laughing as I see one of my co-workers out walking her dog! We chatted for a minute or two and then went our separate ways. As I continued walking home, I appreciated the two things that happened because I took the long way home!

I love it when I do or use something in an unexpected way and discover how powerful it truly is! Recently, I had a headache for most of the day. It wasn’t too bad so I didn’t take any aspirin or pain medication. As it got later in the evening though, the pain increased. I had to take a shower so I hoped the warmth of the water and the steam would help it go away. No such luck! I don’t know why, but for some reason as I stood in the shower, I decided to start chanting “ohm”. I did it maybe 3 or 4 times and I was shocked because my headache was gone! I know that ohm is a powerful sound and I’ve used it in meditations, but who knew it helped with headaches too! Yay for alternative methods!

February 2018

I’ve been working on shifting some stuff and have been asking my spirit posse for help and support. Last week I saw a lot of angel numbers, but 444 seemed to be everywhere (the angels are assisting you with this situation)! Without really being aware of what time it was, I would pick up my phone, look at a clock or even see it on the screen of the cash register at my part time job as I went to ring someone up! This is from the screen on my phone. I have to say, it’s really helped with the shifting knowing that I have so much support and love!

The past week has been a healing week for me. I had some stuff that was coming up within me and I felt frustrated and irritated. I was trying rather unsuccessfully to change some Stinkin’ Thinkin’ about it. By Wednesday I hit a breaking point after two very vivid dreams left me feeling unsettled most of the day. I called my friend, Luke, and asked for some help. He passed along some messages from Archangel Michael and in the end I had more clarity and felt better. During our conversation, we talked about me wanting to expand in some new directions, including speaking at events. The more we talked about it, the clearer I became about it. Shortly after we hung up, I saw that I had a message from a woman I met last year at an expo who has the same last name (we think we may be related somewhere down the line, just haven’t figured it out yet!). While Luke and I had been talking, she had sent the message that she had talked with the pastors of her church and they want me to come and speak there! What?! Did that really just happen? That was awesome! I’m pretty sure my spirit posse was in stiches watching my reaction… incredulous, stunned, sinking in, woohoo! **Thanks Jill!**

Last week was all about standing up for myself. I had a few things happen that I think in the past I would have backed down from as I told myself it really didn’t matter. But it did matter to me. I had a gnawing feeling that didn’t go away until I spoke up for myself and stated what I wanted, what is important to me. Each time I did that, I felt better afterwards. Then I would start seeing angel flashes (Archangel Michael led the way there!), angel numbers (here are pictures from 2 of the times, I really need to have my camera with me more because I had 555 today!) and feel my team around me. One day as I talked to my guide, Toma, I felt him embrace me. It was so loving and soothing. It wasn’t easy taking a step out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I did. I feel somehow more alive, emboldened to take another step or two!

This happened to me as I was becoming aware of my abilities and learning what it means to own my power. I was working at my step-dad’s office during tax season (he’s a CPA). I had started noticing that even if I arrived there in a good mood, after a little while I would start feeling grumpy, sometimes tired, for no apparent reason. I started to be more aware of the energy and felt something was going on there.

One day something caught my attention and I looked up from my desk. On the opposite side of the room I saw a gray misty shape floating up by the ceiling. I’ll admit, it was a little creepy! It caught me by surprise and then I realized I was looking at a ghost! As soon as the thought formed in my head, the ghost knew I could see it and made a beeline for the corner of the ceiling. It started disappearing through a small hole there. I wanted to deal with it then and there so I knew I had to do something before it disappeared completely. I suddenly remembered something my instructor had taught me. She told me that if I ever encountered something out of body that scared me, simply put a clown nose on it! It will get you to laugh, which will instantly change the energy to a higher vibration and the fear will disappear. Well, I’m now looking at the last third or so of this gray form, so instead of a nose, I put some big old clown shoes on it. I saw the last of the gray slipping through the hole, but the shoes couldn’t fit through and the ghost was stuck! It worked! It took me a second to absorb that and then I started laughing! I knew that the ghost was trying to get the shoes off, which it should have been able to do, but I think I surprised it and it forgot that it could still slip through the hole anyway! I told the ghost that it no longer had any power there and needed to leave. If I saw or felt it again, I was going to call in the big guns… Archangel Michael. The mist disappeared completely and I felt the energy change. I did an energy clearing of the room and whole office space. I haven’t heard (or felt) a peep since then!

March 2018

The other day I was with someone whose spouse had just been taken to the emergency room. She told me how stressful it was for her lately because of his health issues and trying to take care of him. I suggested meditation to help her feel calmer. As I was explaining a specific mediation technique that Spirit had shown me recently, I saw a fist-sized flash of blue appear between us. It surprised me for a second, but I’ve seen that flash before! I knew it was Archangel Michael, letting me know that he was with her and helping her during this trying time! It was awesome because it’s been the biggest angel flash I’ve seen yet!

Yesterday morning I opened my curtains and saw this through the window on my back patio…

Ahh, another sign from my spirit posse! Later on, I went outside to get a better shot of it and was surprised when I found this is the shape looking at it straight on!

What?! I went back inside, looked out the window and saw the heart again! One of the messages I received last week was about perspective. I feel like I’m getting a visual reminder of that message!

I did a guided meditation last week that called on the angels to raise my vibration. It was pretty powerful stuff! I finished and did a couple of things before going into the bathroom to brush my teeth before going to bed. As I looked in the mirror at myself, I noticed something moving on the side of my head. When I looked closer, it was a tiny feather! I have no idea how that got there! It seems that I had more going on than just the meditation!

Last week as I was coming home from my walk, I had a feather float right at me! I had been looking around at the trees and listening to all the birds singing and chirping. As I turned my head to look in front of me again, I noticed something in the air coming towards me. At first I couldn’t figure out what it was and I had a little moment of “what the hey?”. Then when it was a few feet in front of me, I could see it was a white and gray feather, maybe 3 or 4 inches long. It was just floating along right at me. I took a step to the side and it went right on past my shoulder! It made me laugh out loud because the feather itself wasn’t turning or swirling. It was like it was suspended in midair and the wind was just carrying it along! That was incredible!

April 2018

The past week, the angels have been giving me a lot of physical signs! Between the angel flashes and the angel numbers that have been showing up everywhere, I also keep getting the feeling of a hand on my upper back by my right shoulder. That’s been my sign that Spirit has my back. It’s like they’re everywhere! Lol! I needed a little extra TLC last week, so it’s been very comforting!

Last week I had a little visit from my dad, who passed away 23 years ago. That in itself isn’t unusual (at least for me!) because I feel him around and he sometimes sits at the end of my bed as I sleep. This time, he had something to share with me that is helping me heal! It’s interesting because I’ve been doing some intense healing the last couple of weeks and picking up on old patterns and beliefs. What my dad did was add some info to what I was already getting and help me see a bigger picture of it all. Talk about an a-ha moment! It’s something that has been affecting all of my relationships and even how I see myself. When I “saw” that bigger picture, things clicked into place and made more sense to me! Now I’m focusing on releasing and healing that. Just another step in moving onward and upward! Thanks dad! ♥

Very early Friday morning I discovered I have an animal in my attic. Ugh! A few days earlier, I had noticed a vent near the roof was bent open a little, but I wasn’t hearing anything unusual… until Friday morning!

I have to admit, it creeped me out to hear all the scratching and movement going on up there. I tried to go back to sleep but my mind was racing, so I finally got up and started to search for an animal control company. I narrowed it down to two and felt drawn to one in particular. I then asked Spirit to show me energetically which one was best for me. It was the one I felt drawn to. At 9 am I called them and connected with the woman who runs their front desk. We talked business but also about spiritual and psychic stuff! I felt I had made the right decision going with them.

Then I had to work at my part-time job in the afternoon and the animal was on my mind most of the shift. I was worried about the damage it was doing and I felt overwhelmed to the point of crying. At the end of my shift, I was closing the register and the total included 3 fours along with the date of my birth! I stood there looking at it and was stunned. I knew my spirit posse was trying to comfort me by reminding me they’re with me. I went home and spent the rest of the evening staring mindlessly at YouTube as I heard the animal continue to scratch and run around. Saturday afternoon I realized I was still tense and that’s when I started some techniques to get me re-centered. I’m not the first person this has happened to and I’ll get through it. I focused on my breathing, which helped me to relax. And when I did that, I could see the big picture better. There are some lessons in this whole experience for me. One of them being, what do I choose in this situation – staying upset and unfocused or empowering myself by regaining calm and peace within.

It’s now Monday and although we have a cage set up, the animal hasn’t left the attic yet. In fact, last night I found out it’s a female because she had babies! Pretty sure it’s a raccoon too. That was a lesson in maintaining calm as I heard the babies crying through the wall! I keep getting that I should focus on what’s the next step so I don’t get stuck in a rut of fear (was initially there, didn’t feel good at all!). Plus, I feel my posse around, having asked them for some extra Spirit fuzzies! And even though I’m feeling a little tired (I slept better than the previous 2 nights, but I still woke up a couple times, thinking I heard something), I’m calm and enjoying the day. Wow, I think I’m learning!

It took a week, but mama raccoon finally came out and went for the food in the cage. It felt like a LONG week for me as I heard her bumping and scratching around in my attic. She wasn’t coming out of the attic and by Thursday I had had enough. That day a squirrel set off the cage and mama freaked out in the attic. I felt so tired of the whole thing! I just wanted to cry, but the tears weren’t coming. After mama calmed down and the animal control people had reset the cage, I was talking to my friend Kathy. She helped calm me down and then said we should call in the Animal Control Angels. This was new to me so I let her lead the way! She called upon them to help bring a peaceful resolution to the whole situation. She also set a time frame of 24 hours. We talked a little more and when we hung up I was feeling better.

About 5 minutes later, I was walking through my house and suddenly saw all these dots of white light moving around me, like fireflies. I stopped and was looking at them, trying to figure out what was going on. After a few seconds I started feeling lots of energy and when I said “hi angels” I got goose bumps! The lights and energy lasted about 20 seconds. I called Kathy back and told her what happened. That was when she said, “it’s going to happen tonight”. Well, mama ended up in the cage around 11 that night!

As for the babies, there hasn’t been a peep out of them since mama calmed down from the sound of the squirrel getting in the cage, so we haven’t located them. The animal control guy thinks mama moved them before she ended up in the cage. I believe there is a divine plan in motion, so whatever happened to the babies, wherever they are, I believe they are ok. In the meantime, I’m grateful for everyone’s help and am taking steps to make sure mama animals stay out in nature where I believe they (and I) will be happier!

This Moment is from M in Ohio:

When I was in Miami in January, there is a spa at the hotel where I bought deodorant that is all natural and I love it! I asked them if they sold it online and they said no but could ship it. I wanted to get more when I was there last time but forgot. I called them on my way home yesterday to order some more. When I got home, I noticed a box at my front door, but got side tracked and didn’t open it. I took a shower and asked the universe for a sign because I was feeling anxious and needed reassurance. I got out of the shower, walked pass my front door and saw the package. I opened it and found the deodorant with the attached note. I searched my phone record thinking maybe I ordered it before but I didn’t. So I called them and the girl said they just shipped it, so that’s not possible.  I asked her if she could check and see if I ordered it. She said the manager sent it to me 4/21, all complimentary….what, what??  Craziest answer from the universe thus far…that’s a sign, right? Lol

May 2018

I chose the Quote of the Week based on something I realized yesterday. The last week for me has been a lot of movement and chaos.

It began with me starting to feel sick Wednesday and the cold getting worse as the week went on. I was trying to finish my newsletter but it seemed like every time I sat down to work on it, I just wanted to fall asleep. I also had appointments scheduled (chiropractor and dentist) that I wanted to go to, plus helping my step-dad and working part-time at the shop. Then Friday it all came to a head! While I was driving home from an appointment, I was standing at a light and a gust of wind snapped a pole on the side of the road. It fell towards me and the wires ended up right in front of my car, but didn’t touch it at all! A few minutes later, a garbage truck came over the line and almost hit me head on. I then worked at the shop even though I felt achy and just wanted to sleep. And when I got home that night, I found the power was out on my street. Really?!

Maybe it was because I was tired. I do know I’m learning and dealing with things better every day. Whatever the reasons, I didn’t fight it, I didn’t get angry or worked up about it. I stayed calm and just asked “what do I need to do in this moment?”. And the answers came. Everything seemed to fall into place and I found easy ways to work around not having electricity. I love the timing of my cold and the power going out. There’s not a whole heck of a lot you can do after it gets dark, so I just went to bed. And that’s exactly what I needed to do to help my body heal! The power was back on Sunday morning and things went back to normal. The worst of my cold is over and I’m feeling much better today. As I talked with my guide Toma yesterday, I realized the importance of inner stillness and was happy I was able to tap into that myself! Yes, I’m evolving!

This is an LIA two-fer! Last Thursday, I came upon a feather as I was walking to the front door of my step-dad’s office building. It was maybe 5 or 6” long, brown and white. I smiled as I got closer to it because I knew it was the angels giving me a sign. I was trying to stay positive as I was getting over a cold and still thinking about the bill I had to pay the day before to have a plumber come fix a pipe I bent in my house (apparently, I’m stronger than I knew! Lol). When I get signs like that, it’s comforting to me and I needed some angel fuzzies then!

The next day, I got a text from my cousin, Mary, with this picture. It was the day of her husband’s uncle’s funeral. She drove into town and when she got out of the car, she saw the feather on her side window. She didn’t see it there when she left home. When I got her text, I had to laugh because she didn’t know about the feather I saw the previous day. Not surprising though, given the connection we share! Plus, it was like the angels were giving me a second sign too! That’s the beauty of sharing!

I celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago and I had some funny and interesting things happen around it! My birthday in on the 24th and that number kept popping up everywhere. I took my car in for an oil change and you can see in the picture the tag the dealership put on it! On the day of my birthday I met a friend for tea and I shared with her something that had come to my attention about my age in terms of numerology. My previous age added up to 10, which marks the beginning of a cycle. The age I turned adds up to 11, which is a master number. Interesting, because I had been feeling like this would be a significant year for me for some reason. That night, when I got out of the shower, I tapped my phone to see what time it was. 10:11! That one made me laugh because I felt like Spirit was saying “hey, we were listening” and validating what I was feeling! The best though was after having tea with my friend. I went to go get gas and the amount it came to, what the pump stopped at by itself… 24.44. My birth day mixed with three 4’s, in angel numbers it means the angels are with you! It was a beautiful day filled with beautiful surprises!

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to experience the John of God crystal bed. John of God is a man in South America who is well-known for his healing work. Oprah did an episode about him and Wayne Dyer had a remote healing with him. The crystal beds are an extension of his healing work. You lie down on it and a row of crystal lights are placed above you, each one pointed at one of your 7 main chakras. I don’t remember everything I experienced during my session, but I do remember my muscles twitching and seeing flashes of light while my eyes were closed. Afterwards, as I driving home, I thanked John of God and the Spirit beings that work with him. Just as I finished saying it, I got major goosebumps all over my body and felt some strong energy around me! You’d think by now with all the things I’ve experienced with Spirit that I’d be used to this kind of thing happening, but it still thrills me beyond words! Thanks again to John of God, the Spirit beings who work with him and my cousin Jill, who owns one of these amazing crystal light beds!

Ask and you shall receive! I’m reading a book about lightbody and came across a grounding technique that sort of contradicted what I was taught and have been practicing myself. I understand the idea behind it, so I gave it a try. I feel the difference between the two techniques, but I’m not 100% on doing the new technique all the time. I also had some questions so I asked my spirit team for some clarification. A few days later I went to a presentation about DNA light activation. During it, the speaker had us ground… using almost word for word the technique I had been taught! I lost my focus for a few seconds as I realized what she had just said and that I was getting an answer to my questions! After the presentation, I was thinking about the 2 techniques and got some additional guidance about them. That was quick, maybe 2 days after I asked the question, the answer appeared. Funny too, I almost didn’t go to that presentation because I had to work at the shop. I kept feeling drawn to it though and was able to switch shifts so I could go. Gotta love how it all flows! Yay for following my intuition. Oh yeah, the presentation was amazing too!

June 2018

I’ve been reading a book called “What Is Lightbody” lately. It includes a unified chakra meditation, which I have been doing every day for 2 weeks now along with a few other techniques in the book. Talk about amazing! I’m feeling more focused on a regular basis and I can feel and see subtle ways in which I am shifting. Yesterday I went out on my patio and as soon as I sat down in the chair, I could feel all the nature energy around me! Even as I sit here writing and getting quiet, I can feel the energy of my spirit posse around me. I feel energy all the time, but this is a little different, like at a different level. I’m digging how I feel and where this is going!

My spirit posse has been growing and includes Archangel Metatron, who I have been working with for about a year now. One of the things I do with him is at breakfast. I ask him to infuse his energy into my food, maximizing the efficacy of it within me. I started out with my hands out, palms up as I said that. A few months ago, in the middle of saying it, I felt my right hand turning over. It was nothing I actively thought of, it seemed to just happen. So I just trusted and went with the flow of it. When I opened my eyes and saw my hands, I realized what it meant. The left side of the body is the female energy, all about receiving. The right side is the male energy, all about giving. With my left hand up, I was allowing myself to receive Archangel Metatron’s energy and let it flow down out of my right hand at my food. Archangel Metatron was getting me more involved in the whole process! It’s amazing how Spirit helps to empower us and begin to realize how powerful we really are!

This LIA Moment is from T in Rochester. I met her for the first time 2 weeks ago. During our meeting, my work as a Spiritual Guide came up and she shared some experiences she’s had with Spirit. She told me about a psychic who had been in her place of business once and told her she has a lot of angels around her, more than he sees with most people. As she was telling me about it, I was picking up on an angel behind her. It was T’s guardian angel and she was spreading her wings out as far as she could. It was a pretty awesome sight! I told T what I was getting. The guardian angel wanted T to know she was there and how supported she is. The angel also wanted T to spread her own wings, to know how powerful she is too.

The next day, when T was opening her mail, there was an envelope from a local church. Normally, she shreds this kind of mass marketing mail that goes out to everyone, but for some reason she opened this one. Inside she found this coin! I think someone’s guardian angel is making sure they know their angels are with them!

July 2018

I’ve been noticing lately how many fireflies I keep seeing! I know they are around and I catch their little lights here and there around my house and neighborhood, but this summer there seems to be more than usual. Then the other night, as I was closing my curtains, I saw a light moving horizontally down my street. At first I thought it was someone walking in the dark with a small flashlight because it stayed on for close to 10 seconds and was so steady and even. The light went off and a few seconds later came back on a little further down the street. I kept looking for a person and as that little light got closer to the corner streetlight, I could see there was no one there and realized it must have been a firefly! I got out my Spirit Animals book and looked up fireflies. Every possible message for fireflies applied to me! I’ve never had that happen before! Enjoying those little lights even more now!

This LIA Moment is from P in Denver. She recently went grocery shopping and bought some peanuts for a dinner party. She ended up not using the peanuts, so she thought she would give them to her husband to eat. Turns out, he doesn’t like the brand the she bought, so she wanted to return them. She found the receipt and as she was making sure that receipt had the peanuts on it, she found an error. During that shopping trip, she had bought some other items, including salmon. Looking at the receipt, she saw that she had been double charged for the salmon! She took the peanuts back and explained the error that had occurred. She said the person at the return counter was nice and reimbursed her, which was about $20! Interesting how a bag of peanuts helped her find a double charge on her grocery bill!

This past week was a busy one for me, lots of moving parts. I leaned on my spirit posse quite a bit and they came through with flying colors, as they always do! A few times I almost forgot something I needed to have with me. I would get the feeling I was forgetting something and ask my posse to help me. And pop, I would remember what it was! I asked my posse for help to be on time for everything (I have had a tendency to run up to 15 minutes late with things). There were a number of times when my attention would go elsewhere and I would get a feeling, thought or nudge that I needed to get my butt in gear. I was on time for everything! More than anything though, I feel like my posse helped me stay calm and focused and reminded me in different ways take care of myself so that I could keep up with the pace of my week. They even kept me laughing with flashes of light and funny things! And even though it was a busy week, I found myself smiling and singing through it!

I was at a wedding this weekend and had a chance to see many members of my extended family. As I was driving home and thinking about the evening, I started to see my family in a new light. Just like a book, there are many different characters. Some you like, some not as much, but you realize they are all essential to the story. The plot may go all over the place, there’s drama, funny parts and even sad parts, but overall, it’s a pretty good story! I have a pretty amazing family. I can’t describe in words how I feel when I think about my grandparents starting this family and their legacy. Their sons and daughters, their grandkids, now the great-grand kids. I’m so grateful for the chance to catch up and have some fun with my relatives. I’m also grateful for the moment I took during the reception to look around at everyone there and take it all in. I know I’m learning on this path of mine and it’s things like this that help me see and feel my progress. I keep telling my posse “with all you’ve been helping me learn, something’s sticking!”

August 2018

A few years ago, I was sitting in church at a cousin’s wedding. The ceremony had ended and my cousin and his wife had just walked up the aisle. I watched as the groom’s mom, my aunt, got up and exited her pew, simply beaming! She had been sitting next to her ex-husband and as they started to walk up the aisle, there was a little interaction that occurred between them. He offered her his elbow so she could walk arm-in-arm with him up the aisle. His current wife was arm-in-arm with him on his other side. It was interesting because as I saw that play out, something felt weird to me and I didn’t want my aunt to walk with him like that. Without missing a beat, she gracefully declined and continued walking up the aisle still beaming. At that moment I heard “jaunty” very clearly in my head. If you don’t know, jaunty means having or expressing a lively, cheerful, and self-confident manner. I knew it was my dad that had said it. Later on, I told her what I had heard and as we were laughing about it, she also felt it was my dad (her brother). To this day, I still tease her about being my jaunty aunt!

I thought it would be funny to have another wedding story for the third week in a row, but instead it’s feathers! I keep finding them all over! I went to open my kitchen window and there was one lying on the ground right in front of me. It’s still there after more than a week (maybe two)! I was cleaning off the steps on my back deck and found a small one right in front of the doorwall. There were a couple other feathers, but the funniest one was yesterday! I was vacuuming at the shop I work at part-time. Halfway through the store I found a feather under a chair. It caught me by surprise and I stopped for a moment to look at it while thanking the angels for reminding me that they are with me!

Carmen in Denver shared this LIA Moment:

The other night she had a dream in which she was talking to a man she had dated many years ago. They had remained friends and kept in touch over the years. Recently Carmen was surprised to find out that he had passed away earlier this year. Even though she knew he was ok now, she was happy that he showed up in her dream! In the dream, the man told her that there are 4 pairs of blue eyes looking over her! The next day, Carmen called me and told me about the dream. She said it was nice to hear that message! She was then trying to remember the eye color of the people in her life that she is or has been close to. We had a funny and touching conversation about who it could be. Of course, I threw my hat in that ring because I have blue eyes and Carmen is my best friend!

Yesterday morning as I woke up, I had a past experience come to me that I was going to share this week. Well, I didn’t write it down and at some point in the afternoon, I realized I couldn’t remember what it was! I asked my spirit posse to help me with it. As I went out for my walk in the evening I still hadn’t remembered it and was thinking it would come to me during the walk. I’ve been talking to God during my walks the past week or so, sort of recapping my year so far and the things I am happy and grateful about. Last night one of the things I was thinking about was my best friend and her birthday, which is coming up. I was thanking God for having such a beautiful soul in my life and the wonderful friendship that we have. As I was doing this, a car passed by me and I looked at it. I don’t know why, but I looked at the license plate and couldn’t believe my eyes. The first part of it was BFF! That made me start laughing and then I realized I had my LIA Moment, so it made me laugh even more! I guess I’m meant to share the other experience another time!

Yesterday I surprised my best friend by flying out to see her for her birthday. This had been a 2- month plan in the making with the help of her husband. Everything came together so smoothly and I am in still in awe of how it all happened. From the planning, to the execution of it and seeing her face when she realized I was there walking up to her! Thanks to her husband and my posse for the help and the signs along the way and the time we get to hang out.

September 2018

Last week, I had an experience that brought me face-to-face with one of my fears. While I was visiting my best friend for her birthday, we went to the Butterfly Pavilion. Along with an amazing exhibit of butterflies, there was also a smaller bug and spider area. There you can have an employee put a tarantula in your hand and let it walk across your palm. My friend went right over and I watched as Rosie the tarantula walked across her hand twice. Then my friend got up and said, “your turn”. I was nervous but walked over and sat down. I lasted a couple seconds in the chair, then got up and walked away. My heart was beating, I was sweating a little and the room suddenly felt stuffy. My friend was surprised because she assumed I had already done something like this and would be eager to do it again. Oh no! As I stood there looking at Rosie from a distance, I wanted to try it, I didn’t want to be afraid of the spider, but my body was saying otherwise! My friend came next to me and started talking to me. I don’t even remember what she said to me, but she knows me well and a couple minutes later I was back in the chair. Do you think I moved through the fear or let it get the best of me? Look at the picture and see!

This past week I have been seeing triple 7 all over the place! Checked my angel numbers and it means ‘you’re on the right path, so keep going!’. I had a couple of a-ha moments last week that brought me some clarity. Dreamed on 2 separate nights about people in my past and when I woke up, I realized I still had something to release and heal with them. Done. One of those dreams also helped me to see a lesson with the person in a new light. It was a very empowering insight for me. And since I came back from visiting my friend, I’ve had a renewed sense of enjoying life even more and living larger than I have been! Thanks to the angels and my spirit posse for the encouragement!

I had all kinds of signs last week from my team! The angel numbers have continued. The funniest one was a license plate that had only three numbers on it. It was 444 (in angel numbers that means the angels are with you)! Another day was a feather day. I’ve also been getting angel flashes. The one that really made me laugh was while I was watching the movie Gifted (if you haven’t seen it, it’s really good!). There’s a scene in a hospital where a man comes out to announce to his waiting family that his wife just had their baby and everyone is celebrating. The main character wants his niece to see that and tells her that’s the same reaction they had when she was born. At the moment the man announced the birth and the family erupted in joy, my guardian angel flashed me! That was really sweet! And yesterday I was talking with Toma during my walk and asked about an idea I have for my website. I felt a slight pressure on my back, just below my right shoulder, like a hand. It’s the sign Spirit gives to show their support. I love my spirit posse and all the fun, amazing ways they send me signs!

This LIA Moment is from Kathy in White Lake:

Kathy was attending an out of town healing expo recently and had a favorite necklace with her. She took it with her to a one-on-one session, but it was in the way, so she tucked it into her bra. At night, she always puts her jewelry on the desk in the hotel, so she knows where it is, but she doesn’t remember if she did that with the necklace this time. The next morning, as she and her friend were getting ready to leave, the necklace wasn’t on the desk. She looked through her stuff, then the room as her friend took their luggage out to the elevator. It wasn’t there. Kathy went out to the elevator, where her friend was waiting and told her she didn’t find the necklace. Her friend went back into the room to double check. She came back out, nothing. Kathy put it out to the Universe that she was letting it go, maybe someone else needed it more. She added that she really likes the necklace and it would be nice if she could have it back. She looked down and the necklace was between her feet! And it wasn’t lying in a heap as if it had been dropped there. The pendant was by her heels, with the chain laid out straight and evenly towards her toes. As she was processing what she was looking at, she heard things are beginning to manifest that quickly for her!

October 2018

Here’s another LIA Moment from Kathy in White Lake!

Kathy was visiting Petoskey in northern Michigan. For all you non-Michiganders, Petoskey is an area known for the Petoskey stone, which is a rock and a fossil. As she was walking on a beach, she was looking down, hoping to find one. She had a thought that it would be great to have a Petoskey stone. Soon after she looked up and saw someone also walking on the beach towards her. When the person got close, they stopped and asked if she wanted a Petoskey stone! The person handed her one. Kathy was flabbergasted and amazed at the same time! Now that’s one manifesting mama!

This past weekend, my friend and I were driving to an expo in Ohio. The sun was starting to set and it was absolutely gorgeous! As we were taking in all the colors of it, I was telling my friend how I associate beautiful sunsets like that with my dad. In the past (after he passed on), when I’ve had some big decisions to make, I talked to my dad, asking for guidance or a sign that I was making the right decision. Every time, on the day I asked, there would be a spectacular sunset. I followed through with the decision I had made and things turned out in amazing ways. My dad knows I love sunsets and even painted a picture of Mt. Fuji at sunset for me (I love just about anything with Mt. Fuji in it!). I had just finished telling her all this and we passed a road. I don’t know why, but I noticed the sign at the corner of it. The name of that road was Section Line Road, the same name of the road my dad grew up on in Michigan (we were in Ohio at that point)! That in itself caused me to gasp and then start laughing! What’s even funnier is that we had planned to take another route, but there was construction so we had to take a detour. That road was part of the detour!

Every morning I have something I do before I eat breakfast. I take a moment to acknowledge the food before me and everything I will consume for the day, thanking everyone who was involved in the process of getting it to me. Then I call on one of the wonderful beings in my spirit posse, Archangel Metatron. I ask him to infuse his energy into my food, maximizing the efficacy of it within my body. I started doing this over a year ago and it’s evolved into something more as time goes on. It’s not just about being grateful for the food anymore. As I do this, I get a sense of all the connections with the plants, animals, people, Mother Earth and Mother Nature. It really brings home that idea and feeling that we are all One. Archangel Metatron has been amazing to work with and he’s taught me some profound things! When I first started this with him, I would put my hands over the food, palms down, and ask him to infuse his energy. One day he guided me to put my left hand palm up, showing me about the balance of giving and receiving. Another day I was guided to move my right hand in circles over the food. At some point earlier this year, we started really having fun with it! Some days I rock back and forth as go through it. Some days I sing the words. Some days I belly dance or dance around. What was once a simple act of gratitude for my food has also become another way to strengthen my connection with Spirit and get into my spiritual sweet spot even more for the day!

My spirit posse has expanded again! Over the weekend, I was at an expo and did a presentation. Before I left my booth, I was a little nervous, so I turned within to calm and recenter myself. As I did that, I felt the back of my neck get really warm. I was already channeling my guide Thoma and he makes his presence known in other ways, so this warmth surprised me. I told my friend, Kathy, what was happening. She closed her eyes and a couple seconds later told ne I have a new female guiding stepping forward to help me. I’m open to any help from Spirit, so I acknowledged the guide and went to do my presentation. Afterwards, I was talking to a young woman who came to my presentation and she was describing what she experienced during the guided meditation I did. She said at one point she opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman standing next to me. I think I gasped! That young woman didn’t know anything about the female guide that came through to me before the presentation. And during my presentation, we were all sitting down, there was no one standing up in the area! I am so thankful she shared her experience because it validated the presence of this new guide. Never underestimate the power of sharing! Thank you and much love to my new guide, Kathy and Samadhi Moon!

Spirit knows I like my signs in threes and they did it again! Last night I was watching a video of an author whose book I read and reference a lot for myself. She said she doesn’t live by any rules. That caught my attention because I’m finishing up Anita Moorjani’s book Dying To Be Me and within the last few nights I read what she wrote about not having any rules for herself. It’s part of what she has learned about self-love. Then this morning I was listening to a presentation by Abraham-Hicks and they also said something about not following rules in regards to the Law of Attraction. Funny, the context was different each time I heard/read it, but the words were the same! The message fits right in with some changes I am making in my life and what I have been thinking about!

November 2018

When I was at an expo with Kathy a couple weeks ago, she was showing me a deck of oracle cards she uses. I asked her to shuffle them and see what I need to know. Three cards fell out. The first one was ‘Magical’ The picture on the card caught my attention because it is very similar to the one I used for my blog about energy a few days earlier. The message is about embracing the magic within all my day-to-day experiences. The funny thing is that maybe a month before that, I read or heard Jesus’ words about being like a child. The power of that really struck me and I had been more aware of bringing a child-like curiosity and amusement to my day. I’ve been noticing a remarkable difference by doing that! The second card was ‘Third Eye’. As I had been clearing myself that morning before the expo started, I could feel my third eye open more than I could ever remember. I even had the thought that something had shifted and my third eye was coming more into play. The last card was ‘Revelation’. It talks about shifting perspectives and new beginnings ahead. Again, on point because I have been feeling things changing within me and loving the results and how I feel! Thank you to Kathy and Spirit for confirming what I have been feeling and noticing. It was so empowering to know that I had picked up on these things for myself and then got confirmation of it! Change is in the air for me and it feels great!

Over the weekend I went to some presentations by a local spiritual group. One of them was an energy transfer. The man leading it is able to take on the density and lower vibrations of others in a way that doesn’t affect him and at the same time he is sending love back to everyone. The transfer started and it was pretty cool! I felt energy moving and waves of what felt like a cool breeze come towards me. I even saw purple light as my eyes were closed. Since then, I feel more aware and energetic. It’s another example of how to work with energy and keep feeling better!

One morning around the time of the Supreme Court nomination, I had gotten into my spiritual sweet spot and was thinking about all the chaotic energy around the nomination. I wanted to calm the anger and frustration I was feeling, so I asked Spirit to help me understand what was going on. As I let my mind quiet, I clearly heard “do you see the beauty in the unfolding of it?”. I sat with that for a couple minutes and then I told Spirit that I honestly couldn’t see the beauty in it. It gave me some comfort to know something bigger was in the works, but I didn’t get anything else and went on with my day.

Then one morning right before the mid-term elections, I had just finished drying my hair and literally had a flash of clarity that helped lift my spirit! The unfolding wasn’t just about the nomination. It’s about this change and upheaval we’re experiencing from a global level, to a national level, even down to a personal level. The nomination was only a part of this change. My sense is that things can’t stay the way they are unless we want to go down a path that isn’t going to serve us well. People had become complacent in their comfortable hell and needed a catalyst to spur them into action, to speak up and get some momentum going. Regardless of what you think about the president, he is playing the part of a catalyst. The fear he holds on to is evident in his words and actions and the situations erupting from it are not pleasant. But people are more motivated to take positive actions. We saw it in how many people turned out to vote in the midterms, by how many women and minorities ran for office. We see it in the kindness people extend to one another in big and small ways.

The direction we go in… there are any number of possible paths in front of us, but there is an excitement about all the wonderful new things this change can bring for us. The midterm elections showed how divided the country is. To me, it feels like a struggle between those who are living in a space of lack and fear and those who are not afraid of change, who embrace diversity and growth. So as you watch what’s playing out on all these levels, see the bigger perspective of it. You are not a victim in this. You are also a catalyst for change – in your thoughts, words and actions. You get to choose whether to be a catalyst of fear or a catalyst of love. Have the courage to choose love and watch how that ripples out in so many wonderful ways! See how that feels expansive, how good it feels within!

Last week I added a game to my phone with the intention of having something to play here and there to relax. Well… I got caught up in it a bit and with the unlimited life cycles (from 1 – 4 hours of endless play possible) that I earned and my competitive edge coming out, I ended up spending a lot of time playing as my to-do list grew! I would go to bed knowing I had other things I should be focusing on. So one morning I asked the Ascended Master, Kuthumi, to help me. He helps with overcoming distractions and staying focused on your priorities. Later that evening, as I was on maybe my second hour of the game, I heard very softly in my head “you see what this really is, right?”. That was all I needed. I finished playing and the next morning I knew what I had to do. I deleted the game. My to-do list is much shorter since then!

December 2018

Last week was a hoot! I had to call a plumber back out to my house to look at an issue with my shower faucet. Earlier in the year, I bent the pipe to it as I tried to change the cartridge and ended up having to replace the whole contraption (I believe that’s the technical term for it!). Everything was fine until a couple months ago when a new issue started with the same faucet. I tried to trouble shoot it, but nothing worked. The plumber had given me a year guarantee on the work so I called him to come back. Of course, when he got here, the issue (a sound and water drizzling out) stopped. I explained it the best I could, but I felt like he wasn’t really hearing me. He ended up leaving with the suggestion to replace the cartridge. I felt irritated with the whole interaction and had some good Stinkin’ Thinkin’ going on in my head. After about an hour I was tired of feeling irritated and started talking to my spirit posse. As I started calming down, I got the question “are you really going to let that little thing irritate you this much?”. That made me laugh! I could immediately see how getting that upset wasn’t helping me. I started to calm down and ideas came to me about what to do. After some research, I ended up getting a repair kit and fixed the cartridge myself (for about ¼ of the price the plumber had offered)! Man, did that feel good! Thanks to my posse for the reminder and help!

The last couple of weeks, I have working on releasing some stuff that is getting in the way of me putting myself out there more with my business. I had a past life come up rather unexpectedly that was affecting me. Even the way I moved through it was a surprise to me. I healed something related to that. Then frustration I have been feeling came to a head Friday night and I got angry. Let’s just say I had a little chat with God and my posse and I was pretty stern with them. I was still feeling frustrated and angry on Saturday so I spent most of it procrastinating by playing the game I deleted from my phone a couple weeks ago. It was my way of ignoring my posse. By Saturday night I started talking to them again and they showed up strong (in a good way)! I felt bad about how I had talked to them earlier. They were sending waves of energy through my body and it was comforting. They were helping me to relax and when I did, I opened up and got messages from them that helped me see the higher perspective. I went to bed feeling better and determined to have a fresh start in the morning. I woke up feeling great and raring to go! After my affirmations, I was surprised when I started to get info for a book I want to write. Spirit was taking my idea and making it more cohesive. It was amazing what came through! I know that I released something that was getting in my way by expressing the frustration and anger I felt earlier. It allowed me to open up more. Later on I was teasing my posse that maybe I need to get angry with them more often! I’m just grateful that they still love me and are there for me, even after I throw a fit!

While I was on the phone recently with my cousin, I was standing at my bedroom window looking outside. As we were talking, I suddenly saw a feather floating in the air. It was maybe 2 inches long and half white, half gray. I didn’t think anything of it until a few seconds passed. I realized it was staying completely horizontal and moving in a large slow circle just off to the right of my window. It wasn’t tumbling around or moving haphazardly. It was like someone had it on the tip of their finger and was moving it around. As I focused more on the feather, I lost track of the conversation and suddenly blurted something like “holy sh*t, there’s something going on with a feather outside my window”! My cousin, who is also open, calmly asked what was happening. As I described what the feather was doing, it slowly floated down and landed somewhere in the bushes. That’s the second time this year I have seen a feather do something like that! I love the angels! I wonder how hard they were laughing at my reaction!

Is anyone else excited about 2019? This isn’t the usual new year’s feeling. I have already been feeling the wonderful energy of the new year and it’s like I can’t wait to dive into it! I’ve done a lot of internal work this year and I can see how things are coming together. How the bits and pieces I’ve learned or picked up along the way are creating something bigger, something that feels amazing to me! One of those pieces is my intuition – learning more how it feels to me, listening to it and trusting it more. And I’ve been listening, even when it meant making a hard decision, one that didn’t make logical sense at the time. The other day I got an understanding of the result of one of those decisions. I can now see how it benefited me and am happy that I listened! I’m also feeling more comfortable with who I am, accepting myself as I am. I feel like I’m hitting my stride more and more. What I didn’t realize until recently is how that is helping me be of service to others. I have to laugh at myself when I forget the message that I give to everyone else – it starts from within and ripples out. I’m grateful for my spirit posse and how much they have been working with me this year. I’m grateful for all the experiences that help me get clearer on what I want, what my heart desires. I’m grateful for all the wonderful people in my life. And I’m grateful for all my clients. Thank you to those who I had a reading or session with for the first time and those who keep returning. I get to do something that I love while watching you transform and grow. It’s the best feeling in the world! I look forward to doing more of that in 2019!
