The Myth of Earth Bound Spirits If you have ever caught a glimpse of some of the new medium/ghost shows on television, you are bound to run across one of them proclaiming the idea of a spirit being "stuck" here on Earth. I have NEVER run across a "stuck" spirit in all my 15 years of doing healing & mediumship work- NEVER.  Although, this is what my teacher taught me & I believed in this idea for awhile- I could never really find proof of it.    And now, I know  the idea that a spirit can get lost on their way to the light, or can be denied entry by their own confusion is false.  What pain this idea causes those left behind!   To think not only their son may have committed suicide in an act of pain, but that he also isn't receiving relief and love because he's stuck here by the regret.  Or that dad is disappointed and hurting because we didn't take him to the doctor right away and he ended up dying.

Have you ever had a deeply spiritual and transforming experience that you couldn't wait to share with your friends, loved ones or co-workers because you just knew it was going to change their mind or life?  And did you notice that after sharing the experience you felt a little less excited or deflated in some way?  This is a common occurrence when sharing your Sacred Experiences with others.

We are so afraid of being made a fool of, or being ripped off and we can't wait to point out how anothe...

I am a Witness to LOVE.  The Angel's Light is Entering the Scene (note if there had been a flash it would have reflected off of the stainless steel around the window- also note, that is not a sign to the left of the light) The Angel's Light Opening to Receive the boy- Carried by Christ into the light On Wednesday May 30, 2012 I was in the last train car of the Missouri River Runner, which had just left St. Louis and was headed to Jefferson City where my dear 18 yr. old son was going to pick me up.  We had taken the train down for the first time in 22 years- so that I could return my son's car to Wisconsin for him, while he flew his new airplane home. We expected no delays and a beautiful trip, even though that morning I had a quick premonition that we might hit a boy on our train ride.  The thought was painful and felt so bad that I quickly dismissed it thinking- "what an awful thing to think".  That thought later came back to challenge me, a...
