Death and the Dream State

So, have you noticed an increase in your overall dream state these days?

The thinning of the veil between Here and There is becoming ever more acknowledged.  It is all part of the Master Plan here on this planet.  Yes, I said Master Plan.  If each of us have a Soul Chart, there is one for this planet, and I would like to shed light on some of the "goings on".  Please note, this based on my experience and nothing more.  If it resonates great, if not, great!

Every single one of us on this planet is Intuitive.  Yep, all of us.  And, part of how we receive Intuitive messages occurs in dream state.  We are completely relaxed and our subconscious (which is part of, and connects to, the Higher Self and Source)  takes over.

Extremely vivid dreams tend to be premonitions.  Tend to. 

Repetitive dreams, especially traumatic ones, can be Past Life recollection (note the era, the feelings, the next time you think about it to gather more information about your past).

Then there are symbols we remember from dreams.  Today, I am going to speak to one that I have been hearing alot of people have.  Dreams to do with Death.  And, while I don't have to use cards, I love to just for the fun and experience of it.  In fact, the Death card is one of my FAVORITE cards of the Major Arcana, and so, without further ado.  Death.

The Death Card, Lucky Number 13, is representative of The Goddess, the energy of Creation.  Reduced, the 13 makes a 4 which is the symbol for stability (think of a 4-legged chair and how knocking one leg away would make you feel, thus the 4).

Death is is the gift of Transformation and Change.  And, once in awhile, whether we like it or not, it truly means a passing is about to occur.

And, from "The Lovers' Tarot" by Jane Lyle, I bring you the Death Card and it's meanings, the ruling sign is Scorpio (ouch, stingy):

"Death embodies the concept of change, transition and regeneration.  A chilling and implacable figure, Death's presence is an inescapable phase of life's cycle.  His skeletal appearance is a stark reminder of our physical mortality.  Death is linked with the Universal archetype of the dark mother, who devours her children without remorse or pity.  Paradoxically, Death affirms rebirth and the promise of the soul's eternal life."

Notice how Death is likened to a  she, lol.  Makes me laugh so much.  Just like Karma is a bitch, Death is the Dark Mother.  I'm picking up a theme that I will absolutely OWN IT!  Anyways, I digress, just made me giggle and I thought you should too.

When you dream of death it is usually about the gift of change, transformation, or a dying of the old ways.  The nice thing is, we are all like the Phoenix that what burns up in flames arises anew.  Death and Rebirth and Death and Rebirth.  While this process may be challenging, it is so worth hanging on through, because I am a firm believer that through great challenge comes even GREATER reward(s)!

Sometimes we get the hard one, the knowing of a passing.  There are dreams that come through very strongly, very vividly, and very, very often.  These are typically premonitions.  The bitch thing about it is rarely, if ever, is it about the person you are dreaming about (although it does happen), and you will typically never know when or where.  That is the mystery of life.  But typically, and notice I use the word typically a lot to let you know that it isn't always the case, the closer the dreams come together, and the stronger the dream is, the closer the event is to occurring.  For me, close means within the next 6 months.  But these things are NOT written in stone.

So, the next time Death pops up for you, remember these words staring back at you and have a good long look at what is going on around you.  Notice any "feelings" or impressions you have about your dream, and you will get a sense of what your dream was about.

Sleep Sweet!

PS Don't forget that if it gets to be too much, you can ask for a "non-working night" and imagine closing the door on the top of your head which links us to Them.  We have the right to set up boundaries with Source and getting a good night's rest is one of those!  (I always let them know that if it is SUPER important, I don't mind, but sometimes I really put my foot down so I can sleep, lol)

Wake Up World - It's a New Day with an Amazing New Dawn

Did you have enough of 2013?  I know I did.  2013 chewed me up and spit me out to my very core, and that's okay.  I have maintained for a very long time that through great challenge comes even greater reward.  Well..................they'd better be pretty freaking great!  LOL!

With challenges come rewards on a soul level.  Lessons learned and made the stronger for it!  I know alot of you had a particularly trying year, so what have you learned?

One of the biggest lessons handed to me this year was the entire year......no, seriously, it was ROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But I know I am going to be okay.  Why?  Because the Universe has my back, and they actually have yours too.

So here's what happened for most of us in 2013.  That number makes a six, the number of going inwards.  Inward reflection.  Really taking a good long look at what is, and is not, working.  From relationships to behaviors, mankind is truly getting sick and tired of the bullshit.  Liars, cheaters, corruptors, broken government systems.  DONE.  They are proved to be false and not in Universal alignment.

The stronger and longer we walk into the world of Spirituality, the harder it gets to take.  And therein lies the biggest lesson of all.  We all have our own paths to walk.  By choice.  Ours.  Nobody else's.

However, if one wants to be met with all the success in the world, we have to stop blaming other people for our problems.  Nobody is responsible for making us happy except ourselves, we must learn to say, "I'm sorry I fucked up", and grow into something bigger than the stories of our past.  Period.  It is the only way we are going to see ourselves out of this mess we have created.

Don't you think it's time to give our children the gift of accountability?  Don't you think it's about time you accepted responsibility for where you're at and where your life is going?  Nobody "makes" you quit a job.  Someone doesn't get pregnant by accident if neither people engaging in intercourse are taking precautions.  A marriage doesn't break down because of the spouse who has been trying to drill something into your head and is met with no response.  These circumstances happen because one makes a choice.

Don't you think it's time we start choosing "better"?

Look.  I get we have a Soul Chart and that Soul Chart has things from birth to earth on it.  Lessons, people, patterns, etc.  But every day we have the choice of breaking free of our past and being "better".  Loving ourselves enough, learning to chase dreams everyone else might think you are a stark raving lunatic for, yada, yada, yada.

We do NOT have to participate in this insanity any longer.

And that is what 2014 is all about.  7 energy.  The Chariot.  The fight.  For oneself.  By oneself.  For the sake of all mankind.  Because we, in fact, are all one.  We come from same, we will return to same, we are just housed in different shells.

Do you not think you are worth healing sexual, physical, or emotional abuse from your past?  Don't you think you deserve to call yourself more than an addict?  Don't you think you deserve more than to be the person who cowers in the corner, afraid of their own shadow?

I think we all deserve it.  A healthy, happy, amazing future.

There is only one way we are going to get there.  Fighting to be heard.  We have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and to treat others the same.  We have the right to rise above our "broken" pasts and learn that regardless of how our experience may have been when we were younger, we are not bad people.  In fact, we have the opportunity to be "better" people.

Where it is okay if you have a neurological disorder that causes you to feel sad when the sun isn't out.  Where it is okay to be born with a disease that strikes one in 650,000 people leaving you with one kidney that needs to be closely guarded and feet that look like they're pregnancy puffy (yes, it's me, it's called lymphedema, and I own it.  I am the girl with the fat ankles, lol).  Where it is okay if you are having a bad day.

We all have to strive to be okay.  Nothing and no one is perfect (what??!!  oh yeah, human), but that is what makes us perfect in our own right.

So, learn your lessons, stop playing small, start fighting for you and let's turn 2014 into one of the most amazing spaces we have ever created!

Because look.  The other shoe is inevitably going to drop.  And that's okay.  If you are prepared in a healthy physical, emotional, and Spiritual way, nothing, and no one, should be able to break you. 

Shit happens, it's not just a biological function.  But alot of things grow from the fertilizer of life.  Why don't you?

Don't Get Mad, Feel Bad

It would come as no surprise that I am continually on a learning and growing curve.  Aren't we all.  If we choose to accept the lessons.  Lessons come in repeat patterns until we have learned from them and healed in the process.  That is part of what I call our soulvolution.

The last portion of this year is proving to be quite shifty, and I firmly feel that the more we are open to being guided by Spirit, the faster it will come.  And even more so for those that have embraced "the light" and are guided by it in all they do.

I am an empath, and sometimes being "in it" comes with a price on me.  It is the kindly reminder to detach from drama on a regular basis.  The biggest case for self-love if ever there was.

I have had a few really, REALLY tough lessons presented to me, and this year has been an extremely challenging space to walk through.  However, I am grateful, because I truly have grown so much.  This allows me to do my job as one of the true Lightworkers on this planet.  For, without these lessons, I would not be able to feel it in another and provide the words that Spirit would have someone know. 

Here is what has been driven home for me.  Everyone has a story, and that story can run, and ruin, people's lives.  At some point we have to learn to rise above the stories we have so easily walked in, run in, and ruined with.  It is called growing up and accepting personal responsibility.  What happens to me is that I very easily engage into other people's stories.  And, the closer to home it is, the harder it is to distance, driving home the much needed alone time I so desperately require to detach, so that I don't have to participate.  My goal, as should be anyone's, is to detach from the dramas that other people reside in.  Period.

It isn't easy, but the Universe is always providing me the opportunity to detach because this life I have chosen to engage in can be pretty absurdly crazy sometimes, but I have truly realized, NONE of it, save the lessons presented in others, belongs to me.  I have had my own story to run, and I have learned, and am still learning, to rise above it.  There will always be lessons, but they can shift, once you have learned from the ones that are present in your life.  Right this very minute.

Here's what I have learned:

1)  I am light years ahead of others in my life at a soul level, and that's okay.  Maybe I am meant to show the way.  For that is the task of the Lightworkers here on this planet.  We shed light on those dark places, giving everyone an opportunity to heal. 

2)  Just because I am lightyears ahead, does not mean others are going to be that way, the shift does not occur overnight.  It takes time.  However, it does not mean I am going to sit in any form of a relationship in my life if it remains toxic.  I will not allow that in my life.  What it does mean is that I will learn my lessons from these situations so that they don't repeat.  Don't get me wrong, the Universe will test you to see if you have truly learned.  And that's okay.  But, accept the gift of knowing that the Universe always has your best interest at heart.  Regardless of what situation you may find yourself in.

3)  I can be with chaotic souls as an opportunity to learn to detach and allow people their space to see if they are going to rise above their stories. 

4)  The stories that people like to keep themselves in are broken ones based on past experiences.  Some of us have it in our charts to remain that way our entire lives, others will be given the opportunity to break free.  On the flip side of this, I also believe that Free Will can change us at any point in time.  IF we make the choice "to see".  The stories look and sound like this, "I was abused", "my father was an alcoholic", "I have made bad choices therefore I am a bad person and deserve nothing more than bad things", "I love to play the martyr, oh woe is me", "I'm in survival mode", "so-and-so hurt me", yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah.  I get it.  You want to keep yourself small, a hurt little child as it were, and that's okay.  You can choose to do that.  I have chosen differently.  It is challenging to be around others who play small, but they really are giving me an opportunity to be in it and not participate.  Thank you Universe!

5)  Everyone has the right to a happy life, and the only person responsible for our happiness is ourselves.  Yes, we get into relationships and would hope that the other person adds to our lives, it doesn't always happen, and that's okay, because leaving or staying provide valuable tools.

6) Not everyone is capable of saying sorry.  As far as I am concerned part of the personal responsibility business is learning to do just that.  Say "sorry".  Teach our young ones, whether they like or not, to say sorry.  For saying sorry is about the behaviors and NOT the person.  We are all good at heart.  However, if you don't say sorry, I have really taken in that the karma of that moment rests with the other person.  They are running their story, and they choose to stay "stuck".  That's on them, not me.  I am learning not to take things personally because of situations like that.  Thank you Universe.

7)  The more open you are to the process of growing, the more the Universe will collaborate to heal you.  What a beautiful gift from the Universe!

So, here is my Christmas Gift to me from the Universe, and maybe, just maybe, by sharing some of my experiences without going into gory details, you will give yourself the gift of growing up, healing from your past, and embracing your future.

One of the best ways we can do this is by learning our lessons, accepting them graciously, and continuing on a soulvolution journey.  EVERYONE has a story.  Learn to not concern yourself with their story.  Instead........

Don't get mad, feel bad............Just like Jesus stated, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do".

And that is what I have decided to do.  I am turning my getting mad at them into feeling bad for them.  Because really, it is quite sad that people would choose to hold themselves back from what I call personal greatness.  Within each of us lies a Light that cannot be denied.  Some of us choose to stay dim, and others of us choose to shine bright.

The more I detach from the drama around me, the brighter I become.  The more I start to feel bad for the people in my life who are in amongst chaos, the less I feel mad.  Because in the end, it is about them.  And truly, NOT about me, save the lesson of learning to detach and have the truest form of empathy.  Letting them run their story and figure it out for themselves and being that space of sanity when people choose to seek refuge.

And that, is the greatest gift of all.

Making the Shift - A Christmas Wish

I want to thank Carrie Clough of Radiant Health once again for a timely contribution of health and happiness for the Holiday Season and into the New Year.

We humans tend to instinctively hold on to what is familiar, and resist moving into the unknown, not trusting that it can be a place of greater freedom and happiness. Shift is happening regardless of whether anyone wants it or not, just as day follows night, it is a cyclic event. We are made of mind, body and spirit, when one or more are misaligned, life becomes chaotic and unbearable. My dear friend Donna (aka The Mountain Medium) once said “the spirit needs to be nurtured – daily”, wise words and I wholeheartedly agree.

To me, spiritual shift means belief systems that have been passed down from authoritarian institutions fade away, replaced instead by a higher level of common sense, kindness and compassion. No two people will be alike in regards to their core beliefs, experiences, and Divine lessons. My sense of spirituality comes from the energy of the universe and from the vibration of nature. I actively practice gratitude and hold the intention of spreading light and love to those I meet, even if it is something as simple as a smile. I try to refrain from using statements like “this (negative) always happens to me”, because it simply attracts more negativity. As a result, I feel happier and more content and I am beginning to manifest my dream of helping others and being self-employed.

There are many spiritual paths and yours will be uniquely your own. I invite you to set spirituality, gratitude and mindfulness as your intention and see what happens in your life.  Shift happens, I guarantee it. If you are honest in your intentions, it will happen. Not every day is perfect. We are human and we slip up. Every moment is a chance to learn, every day is a chance to start fresh. Before you know it, you will have formed new habits, new thought patterns and you will be using the intent of spirituality to live a more fulfilled existence. As each individual invests in bettering themselves, all of humanity benefits, for what is humanity but a collection of individuals?

 “Spiritual shift is actually becoming very desirable for many people so if you want in on it, here's what you need to do:

1. Tell yourself you're ready for the spiritual shift.
2. Be in the present by focusing on what you're doing in the moment.
3. Look people in the eye when they're talking to you and listen.
4. Use your words carefully before speaking.
5. Treat everyone around you as an equal, or as Buddha said "Consider others as yourself."
6. Love unconditionally.
7. Don't be judgmental.
8. Be kind.
9. Be forgiving.
10. Be generous.
11. Consider everyone on the planet your spiritual family.”

PS from Donna Hartt, The Mountain Medium:

Remember, the reason for this season is not the things we run out and buy, but the company we keep, the laughter we have, and the joy of our future.  Wake each day and say thank you for another fun-filled day of joy!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

A Tango With Alice Cooper

I am a firm believer that "If we see it, we can be it".  Last night was a moment in time I will NEVER forget.  I have been to alot of concerts and last night found my husband and I front row and very center to Alice Cooper's "Raising the Dead Tour".  And, along with this honor, we found ourselves with VIP passes to meet the Shock Rocker himself, and it truly was an exceptional experience.

I write this as another chapter in the exciting life of "The Mountain Medium" and my ability to manifest some pretty crazy experiences.  All for free!  Yep, that's right.  Didn't have to pay $140 for the front row, and didn't have to pay $500 to meet the man.  All because of my ability to win concert prize packages.

The day I saw the contest advertised in the "Cranbrook Daily Townsman", I actually put my hand on the article, said "Mine.  No point in anyone else entering because I am going to win it so don't even bother."  LOL.  I knew in my very bones that this was going to be my win.  When my husband came home that day, I had him snap the "look-alike" photo for the contest and felt to the core that it was pointless for anyone else to enter.  I felt the tickets in my hands and without knowing backstage passes were included (didn't find out until a few days before the selection, as it was a secret surprise), I actually saw myself shaking hands with the man and being front row and center.  I FELT AND SAW IT happening.

On November 4th, the selection date, I turned my phone on in nervous anticipation of receiving the call.  I went to lunch with a friend, checked my phone afterwards as I stepped into the car, and "not yet".  Home I went.

I was sitting at the computer doing some work at 3:25p.m. when my phone rang and I knew it was the Townsman.  I went racing to my phone and saw the 426 number and thought, "OMG!  It's really them!" and sure enough, it was.  I had won the contest and my husband I were going to not only attend front and center, we were going to receive some merchandise (an awesome CD, and a 1976 tour concert DBD) and meet the man himself.  WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, move forward to November 13th (one of my lucky numbers is 13), and here we were.  Front and very center.  Two feet away from Alice Cooper at any given moment throughout the entire concert.  I have never felt more VIP in my life!

Before the concert the Promoter came and greeted me, then the reporter that informed me of my win came and greeted me. And friends came to squeeze me from over the row of chairs that marked our VIP Section.  It was INCREDIBLE!

I have never seen a show like this one and my mind, and my eardrums, was blown!  Being front and center made me a really cool target, and I was so thrilled to have dragged my husband along (albeit extremely willing as hubby's a huge fan) and humbled to be standing next to a family who brought their approximately eight year old girl to what I can assume was her very first concert.  It was AWESOME!

During the concert Mr. Cooper (not his real name of course) had all sorts of goodies tossed out into the crowd, right down to bead necklaces.  As he was tossing them out he dangled a necklace right in front of me, looking right at me, and then winked and tossed them away elsewhere.  Too funny!  During this time I was bound and determined to get the little girl her first concert memento, and kept pointing to her to receive.  And, wouldn't you know it, he did exactly that, tossed them to the wee one.  I want to commend the teenager beside them for doing the right thing as she reached out to snag them right from in front of the wee one's face.  She gave them to their rightful owner.  The little girl.  it is a moment I will never forget.  So beautiful and the reason why I am sure Mr. Cooper has so many devoted fans.

We rocked and rolled the night away with lots of foggy photos and videos sooooo distorted by the immense base of the drums rolling out through the crowds.  It was an interactive experience, right down to me getting the brunt of a few funny things.  The tease with the necklace, a whip pointed at me, calling me venomous poison with a finger pointed right at me (along with many others out there getting the pointed finger), and my funnest and fondest moment besides the meet.

Alice did "Caffeine" and was hugging this absolutely huge mug with that label written across it.  And, towards the end of the song, he drank from the cup, held it out over my head, and poured white and brown confetti all over me!  Too funny!  Truly!

He rounded out his amazing show with the encore being, "School's Out" and it was a show-stopper!  As stated, I have seen many concerts, met a few bands, and this experience takes the cake!

Then the moment came.  We slapped on our VIP stickers and were rounded up to go meet the man himself.  I was shaking like a  leaf from excitement!  There were two Platinum VIP's who got to go in all by themselves (how awesome is that?) and then it was our turn along with six others.  Each of us got individual time for photo and chat, and we all hung around during that time. 

What stood out?  Humility and kindness.  Unlike so many of the young ones copping attitude that is going to get them shunned from society, here was a man who truly knew and embraced the art of being a star.  It is the fans that make them, and it is humility and kindness that keeps them.

As my husband stepped up for his turn, I had video running.  He shook hands, then Alice looked at him and I, moved his hands back forth between us and stated, "You guys had more fun than anybody", we chuckled and I stated it was a dream come true for all of us.  He joked around with us and then it was my turn.

I excitedly shuffled forward and put my arms right around him.  As we were there and hubby was shooting vid, I was sharing how I got here and he was gracious to allow me the time to dig up my prize winning photo.  The response from Alice?  "You make a better looking Alice Cooper than I do!"  Laughter ensued.  During the photo process he said, "Let's tango!" and so, I placed my hand in his, and he shot our arms outward.  I laughed so hard!  Here we were cheek to cheek, getting ready to tango.  How absolutely freaking awesome!  A moment in time I will cherish forever, and I am so grateful I could share it with my husband.

I wish to send a special thank you to Barry (and the staff) at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, and to F.J. of Kootenay Concert Connections for this tremendous experience.

I also want to acknowledge extreme gratitude to the Universe for dropping the experience in my lap.

But most of all, I want to thank Mr. Alice Cooper himself.  You are truly one of the most gracious, kind, and extremely fun-loving stars I have ever met.  Thank you for not letting the fame get to your head and remaining so very, VERY gracious! 

It was such an honor, and I am truly grateful.

I am extremely grateful and tell you, dreams can, and do, come true!  If you see it, you can be (or have) it!

My Thoughts on The Afterlife

I tell you.  I get some pretty fantastic questions and today's is absolutely no exception!  So, thank you Pete for asking about my thoughts on the Afterlife.  Hope you don't mind, but I bet a lot of people would like to know that.  So thank you Spirit for placing you in my path today for such a beautiful question!

These are my perceptions based on my own experiences with Spirit.  I have had Spirit experiences since the age of 3 and still remember the very first encounter to this day.  Since then, my life has never been the same.

From about the age of 26 forward I started my work in silence.  I grew up knowing things.  For instance, before the days of call display, I would run for the phone when I knew it was for me.  Otherwise I would leave it most times.  I was truly a brat growing up.  Just ask my mom.

I used to know when letters from penpals were arriving in the mail and race down to get them.  I led a fascinating quiet life.  My parents never really knew, save a few instances where I poked my Psychic little head out.  At the age of 5, I scried.  It is the ability to see things within glass-like surfaces.  I woke up early one morning to see the silhouette of a horse's head go across my mirror, followed by my grandpa's head in silhouette also.  I went out to my parent's and asked when we were going to the ranch.  It was supposed to be a surprise.  And, to my recollection, I actually got in trouble because my parent's thought I overheard them talking about it.   Kids typically don't forget getting in trouble for weird things like this.

The next biggy happened at about age 9/10.  I had a dream my mom, sibling, and I were in our blue Datsun heading into town when a big brown tree fell on it.  I had to use my superpowers to get them out and I woke up.

Two weeks later my mother was driving our Blue Datsun and was hit by a brown sedan on her side.  They had to use the jaws of life and they said if she hadn't been wearing her seatbelt she would have been "dead or a vegetable" as per the officers on scene.  I thought I caused the accident.  I learned to keep my mouth shut from that moment forward until one unmistakeable night in my life.

At approximately 4.5 years into my first marriage, I had a dream.  And, just for a bit of backstory, at one point we were separated and on "a break".  After reconciliation I had a dream and woke up crying.  The now ex-husband startled awake and asked me what was wrong.  I told him I walked in on him with a girl with olive colored skin and long dark wavy hair and that they were having an affair.  Needless to say, not long after that, I dissolved the marriage.

So, with nothing to prove by sharing this story, I give you some history before I give you my impressions about working with Spirit, for they are the ones that show me all the things I experience.  My relationship with them is stronger than ever and my time has come.  To live my life fearlessly, as a "child of God" who was created with this ability. 

I firmly believe that what I have is an ability, and what I hope to leave you with is the gift.  The gift of knowing that we are always cared for, and that there is nothing but pure love on the other side.  Our "God" (Creator, Source, Cosmic Design Committee, however you see fit to own that energy bigger than us) made me, and I am NOT the spawn of the devil.  For I believe the only Devil that exists is the lies we like to tell ourselves.

I have experienced nothing but pure love from over there and strongly believe that the Bible is a beautiful story of some real and some allegory, to help us walk through the human experience with Angels at our sides.

I do not believe in Hell.  The only Hell that exists is the way humans behave here.  We are either in this existence (in form wherever we may be on this planet or others) or non-form (Spirit).

As in being birthed Here, we are birthed to our true Home.  Source.  We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience.  We have a Soul Chart that our team knows intimate details of.  We get bits and pieces for it would take away the excitement of life.  This Soul Chart has every detail from family, friends, foes (lessons), Life Lessons, Challenges, a Final Exit Point, and maybe a few in-between.

Personally, I have been brought to the brink of death at the age of 5, 21, 40, and approximately three weeks ago.   So, every time has brought me closer and closer to my team to do my work, and I live it boldly since nearly dying from choking on a candy when I was 40.  I have done thousands of readings.

When we return home we are cocooned for a bit in order to re-adjust.  The harder the exit, the longer the cocoon.  Over There is nothing but pure love.  Our "God" is not a punishing one.  In fact, Source is the exact opposite.  We are so loved over there that we get sent here to have a human experience.  It is how we come to understand humans more when we return home and to position of Guardian Angels, Protectors, etc.

Our loved ones give us signs any time we ask.  All we have to do is ask.  They are at the ready.  Some things take longer to manifest than others, but all eventually show up.  We have free will.  Anything I see can be changed by the person I work with.

When I do a session, it is not just reading people's energy, it is connecting with their loved ones.  My dad crossed over and he and I have never had a better relationship.  Ha!  Ha!

I experience Spirit as if they were back in human form.  Imperfections and all.  What I have experienced is that, in Spirit, our loved ones learn "errors of their ways" and show remorse from over there.  In fact, what my symbol for remorse is is actually an action.  The Loved Ones bow their head.  It is when I am shown that, that I am to say sorry for them, and typically because they were unable in real life or didn't get the chance (unfinished business).  I experience images like a movie screen on the back of my forehead.  I also see physical manifestation/shape of Spirit, hear them, feel them (every single hair on my arm stands up, it is quite something to see), taste, and smell things too.

When I work with Spirit I always ask for something that I could not possibly know so that it validates to the person I am reading, that I truly have a loved one present.  For there could not be any other way for a complete stranger to know what they know.  I state facts before I ask questions, and typically the questions I ask are because I have been sitting there drawing something or I am to ask about it.

Another thing I have learned from working with Spirit is that Angels have different realms.  Our loved ones tend to move into Guardian Angel first, and then may move on to other things from there, but they will always show up when called.  Save one exception.  If they have already returned.  Yes, I believe in reincarnation.

I also believe that angels exist right here on earth.  They are the Lightworkers.  And, while I believe that each and every one of us has a light shining bright within to be shared with the world, there are those that have the calling like mine.  A direct line to Spirit.  The work is not perfect, for I am human.  I am always a work in progress.  We all are.  But I am a firm believer that we have one, maybe two things we were born to do as our work, and that if we listen to our gut instinct, we will be steered in really amazing directions.  We must take actions as humans, but with intent the Universe steps right up with us and moves us through our contract.  I was born to do this.  I had to have as much life experience as I could in order to do this work to the best of my ability.  I am humbled to have such an experience and I believe that life on the Other Side exists because I live with them every day.  I am truly never alone, even when I sleep.

So, I hope that about covers it.  There is probably more.  But stay tuned for you never know what shows up here.

Thanks again!

I...am....a....DOLT!

I am always prepared to point a finger where it belongs, and it is typically pointed right at me.  I can't expect other people to change, I am the one that requires the changing if I feel it necessary.

This is NOT about anyone other than me.  It is my observation and experience whether personally or through the work I do.  PERIOD.  If it hits a nerve, then maybe I have created an awareness for you.

I got a huge lesson in NOT listening to my gut.  It is the one thing that is always on hyper-alert and I have truly learned to honor it.  I didn't, and it came back to bite me in the ass. 

I am a firm believer in the "Pebble, brick, boulder" theory.  That the Universe will first send you a pebble, a minor irritation, a glitch.  We feel it in our gut that this doesn't feel right.  But you make a choice to walk through that feeling and a brick occurs, and if you ignore the brick, you get............well, I think you get what you get.  LOL.

However, I am also a firm believer that even when we choose against our gut feelings, there are some remarkable blessings that occur.  We just have to make our way through it emotionally first, and then spin it into perspective.

I had to make my way to Kamloops for awhile, and on the day I was due to fly out, the flight was delayed and I had to rebook to the following day.  That, as far as I was concerned, was my pebble.  For even as I was getting ready to board I was not feeling good about it.  But the cavalier in me (ego) said to self, "You have the ticket in your hand, you have put out some money to do this, now get on that plane."  So I did.

HUGE mistake!

I contracted a virus and was under infection and contagion control for the first three weeks of my setting foot in the Loops.  Get cleared, do a little bit of work, get exposed to contagion, get REALLY sick!  Yep.  I got strep (go ahead giggle, because the amount of pressure cooker I have been under has been BOULDER!!!!) and it went rogue and I had an infection in my one and only kidney.  EXTREME antibiotics for 10 days and a re-visit to get the all clear. 

If that wasn't what the Universe was warning me about before hopping on the plane, then what was it?  LOL

However, there really are no mistakes on lessons, so here's what I have learned.

I don't have to accept toxic behavior from myself or others.  I am committed to creating that change within myself.  As a certain stylist I know once said, "I had a wishbone where my backbone should have been".  My backbone is solidly in place and my wish has been given over to the Universe to care for.

I was busy trying to think for other people.  Mybad.  I am onto me now, and I will only think for myself.

I have the right, as we all do, to set very firm and healthy boundaries.  I live my life 80/20.  80% focused on positive and 20% on negative.  Negatives have value, but I try and spin it as quickly as I can but honor the feelings as I move through things.

I needed a rest.  I wasn't listening.  So the Universe gave me a sit down and shut up BOULDER!

I have been on bedrest, being still, enjoying every single minute of it.

I am grateful. Grateful for the challenges, because the rewards have been greater.  I have reclaimed my position as Goddess.  I am not playing small anymore.  I am playing big.  Don't you think we have all kept ourselves small long enough?

And then this hit me!  A blog whose time has come.  All because I sat down and shut up.  A habit I am working on without having to get sick.

Much love.
