So, here I am again. It is Thursday afternoon. I’m pretty sure I covered this once before, but in a lot of ways this blog has assisted me so much in my own Spiritual Growth. I hope it has helped you as well.
Some of these blogs have assisted in learning how to curb or soften my voice. I am a Sagittarius with my Mercury in Sagittarius and am straight-forward, which is not appreciated by some. And then there’s my Virgo rising, which in a sense means people view me as a perfectionist. LOL Backstory: Writing for newspapers as a staff writer or freelance writer, I followed a fair and balanced type of narrative with news stories. People features allowed for a more creative approach. These blogs allowed me to express myself in my own way. It’s so funny because as a freelance writer, most think you can do what you want, and you can. However, I still had a boss, an editor and a copy desk editor at times. For these blog writings, I’ve had my daughter and a couple of friends read them over before publishing. It’s interesting to see how I’ve grown as a writer and person over time. You, the readers, have too been my sounding board. Perhaps, this part of my spiritual journey is nearing its end. Sometimes things must end so new things can come in. Maybe, not an ending. I may come back to this someday. Sometimes, people and/or clients get the idea that psychic mediums walk around with their gifts on ready to give readings at a moment’s notice. Not true. Maybe, some people put us on a pedestal. I don’t like that because I am a person (spirit), just like you, having a human experience. Furthermore, I want to remind you here that we all have the gifts of seeing, feeling, knowing, hearing, tasting, smelling and much more. Explore. Trust your Intuition. Just maybe, you start writing your own blogs or journaling elsewhere. I’ve noticed that this blog and last week’s blog have been written more mindfully. I usually have a set idea for the blog, and it takes minutes to write. This one has taken a little longer. Sometimes a change of pace in needed. I am so thankful and grateful for my writing guides. It’s true they are there in the ethers. I pray for the highest and best for all. Until Next Time! Blessings of Peace and Love

We’re all Ascended Masters – walking each other home?
Of course, we are. I was reminded the other day of the simplest of thoughts: We, each and every one of us, choose to be carnated on Earth, to learn the lessons set forth in our day-to-day lives, so that we can be with the ultimate – God, Source, Spirit . . . It’s truly ludicrous to think we are the only ones in this universe, or at least how the universe has been presented to us. I’ve been toying again with the idea of stopping my blog. Just the thought is/was a little disheartening. I love to write. I do have a couple of projects that need my full attention. So, it’s Friday afternoon and it really didn’t feel that bad not to have my blog done yet. Beating procrastination down is one of my lessons. People have said I’m a taskmaster. Maybe, I don’t know – my plate does get full quickly. If you’ve been following my blogs, you know that my main goal is to raise the vibration of this existence, of this planet. While thinking about this blog, my mind came to the time when the world shutdown because of Covid. I wrote a blog about how when people are forced to slow down and pay attention more and more phenomena has had to occur. Phenomena is ‘a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question,’ according to one definition online. Slow down and experience life and then think about those experiences. Really think about what they have taught you. We, each and every one of us, has something to heal from – small or large. Be open to that idea. It is said that now is an exciting time to be alive. I believe any time to be alive is exciting because we never die. We are eternal, as existence. I love quotes. ‘This life is more than ordinary,’ which is in the song ‘Can’t Stop’ by Red Hot Chili Peppers. What happens to us when we leave this existence? We Ascend. We have learned what we came to learn. Blessings of Peace and Love Since I’ve been in a snowstorm – 38 years. How ‘bout you? We got nearly 6 inches, and it stayed. No, I didn’t go out to make a snow angel or snowman. I prayed the sun would shine and melt it away quickly.
It’s my own darn fault. I used a picture of snow falling for last week’s blog. I may have manifested that. LOL. No worries. It’s already scheduled to snow today and Sunday, too. I’m out of here on Wednesday. It’s been an interesting visit to my hometown. Have you ever gotten that feeling you just know someone from somewhere when you look at them? Well, it happened the other day in reverse. A young woman walked into the room and pondered it. She looked at me and my younger sister: ‘I think I should know you from somewhere.’ We exchanged last names and knew instantly we were related. We joked that we should have a mini reunion with all the cousins we’ve heard of but never met. We did become friends on Facebook so there is a possibility. Another cousin, who lives on the way to the airport, contacted us about seeing her this time around. She shared a picture of a red and white scooter my mother had when she was a child. Her name was written on the bottom of it. Spirit knew before I did that, I’d be making the trek to Wisconsin. Backstory: Two people came to my office with one to receive a reading. Names and professions of her Spirit loved ones were similar to mine. I noted it. The second woman decided to get a reading and when she sat in front of me, I saw she looked like my older sister, Sue, and more information was similar. I said a family reunion. The three of us chuckled about it. Oh, I saw the trip coming – definitely not so soon, though. I certainly do not like the Wisconsin winter, although it is a warmer cold than a cold spell in Central Florida if that makes sense. My older sister, Sue, has had some health issues for some time. I am thankful that she was able to come to Florida to spend time. We went to the beach, and I took her to several quilt shops. Her son also came for about week of her stay. They stayed at my daughter’s home and went to Disney. Sue left Florida a very happy person. Always one to lend a helping hand. She was an expert sewer and shared her love of creating with those she loved and with those in need. I will miss her deeply to include those late night (10 p.m.) chats. She had a heart of gold. I told my younger sister if she goes first, it darn well better not be in the winter. My mother passed in the winter. My father in the summer. If by chance I go first, she’ll get to see me in Florida. As a medium, it took me seven years to see my father in Spirit. I hope to see my big sister sooner. It’s just weird to think my sissy won’t be picking up the phone any longer. God Bless you, baby girl! Peace Be with You That’s what I heard myself saying while I waited to board a flight to Appleton, Wisc. It is interesting to look around to see familiar faces and vibes of those meandering toward home. And then there’s the familiar accent that most who meet me for the first time can identify.
I’m ready. I have my winter coat on, which will work for today. It should be in the 60s when I land. My sister, Beth, promised to bring me mittens or gloves – strange to be saying this. I’ve been in Florida for 37 years now. I know one thing for sure: this ‘winter coat’ will never make it in 28-degree weather, which is one of the high temperatures while I’ll be in Wisconsin. Heck, it’s predicted to snow one day. I thought I’d make it through the winter without it – thinking of my friends in the Panhandle who played in a good four or five inches of snow for a couple of days earlier this year. While packing on Thursday, I just about came unglued because I couldn’t find my one pair of long johns. Thankfully, they appeared. I took my garbage out and realized that I had left one bag of leftovers in the refrigerator. I know my daughter heard me gripe under my breath – ‘so much for being perfect.’ My daughter piped in: ‘Yup.’ I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be going to Wisconsin so soon. I thought for sure it’d be a little closer to warmer weather, which is the only time to go. Life happens; plans go array sometimes. Backstory: Last time I made Wisconsin in the winter was for my mom’s funeral. My daughter and I drove up toward the end of December, beginning of January many years ago. One minute in Illinois it was 50 degrees; the next it was minus something in Wisconsin. I’m going to see my sisters and the rest of the family. My oldest sister is Sue, and I have written about her a couple of times on this blog. She came to visit last summer. We had a good time – went to the beach, went to quilt stores, ate good food and ice cream. Her son came for about a week during the visit. My daughter and nephew took her to Disney. My younger sister, Beth, is picking me up from the airport. Did I mention she promised to bring mittens or gloves? Hehehe We will have a few days to reminisce about the old days, good and less than good. It seems like such a little time to cover 60 years. I’m so glad that my sisters and I have stayed connected through the years. It’s never too late to check in with loved ones. Take the time now. Blessings of Peace and Love How ‘bout you?
I’ve been working it – teaching three online Intuition Development classes weekly for 16 weeks and before that two classes weekly for another 16 weeks. Next, I’m taking the big slow down and teaching one for eight weeks. I might add an eight-week online Trance class. Today is my last class for two weeks. On top of that, I’ve been doing readings in my office, putting out my weekly social media, spending joyous time with my grandchildren, 3 and 1. I did catch a break for a couple of weekends down South. I did work one day, though. I must admit I did wind up in bed for a couple of days here and there recouping my energy. We all need a break. Oh yeah, let’s not forget tax time, which I normally have pulled together by now. Also, I do what I can within Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp to assist with the organization. I came up with a huge project in which more than $10,000 must be raised. Then there’s committees and the list goes on. Yet another thought – did you know we are officially out of the shadow phase of Mars, and it is now direct? Most should’ve felt a boost of energy, movement in reaching goals and a general improvement. We’re already in the shadow phase of Mercury Retrograde. It’s about slowing down. Mercury Retrograde is from March 15 to April 7. I was born during a Mercury Retrograde. I used to giggle about it until I realized everyone around me was going through it. I’m sure there are other situations going on with the planets, stars, etc. I do my best just to go with the flow. In fact, I filled in as the message bearer at Wednesday Night Message Service in Colby Memorial Temple at the Spiritualist Camp. Everything was going smoothly with 2–4-minute Spirit Greetings, which includes a touch-in with Spirit, evidence of that Spirit, life guidance and psychic information. There were about 25 people there. When I went to a person who was the third to the last to receive a reading, he was anxious because it took so long to get to him. I saw a choir of Spirts in a semi-circle behind him. Not one would step forward. Finally, after I said so, one gentleman came forward and he showed me his hands, which indicated that he work with them. I thought he did woodworking. The gentleman receiving the message scoffed and said that information pretty much covers his whole family and then chided that my information was vague. Now mind you, conversations normally do not ensue during this time. I shared that I could only give what I received. After that, all I really recalled was that I suggested he go for a 30-minute reading with a Camp medium. With the help of Spirit, I finished the service around 8:45 p.m. I was thankful that those in charge of the service were fine with the interaction. Thank-you Spirit! Previous to the service, I rested all morning and all afternoon. It takes a lot of energy to work with Spirit and the public in that way. I was wide open when someone who is obviously hurt tried to hurt me. I prayed for his highest and best. My last big energy spender will occur when I am the guest teacher at Sunday Lyceum in the back hall of the Andrew Jackson Davis Educational Building. I will be talking about intuition and psychic/mediumistic gifts. Later that day, I’ll be heading over to see my grandchildren. After that, two weeks off. Of course, I’ll be at the gym for four days weekly and doing readings for clients in my office. My next big time off – two months this summer. I do my best to look for times to rest. I hope you do the same because a drained person cannot help others. Blessings of Peace and Love |
