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 I awakened the other day like any other day.
I noticed I had missed a call on my phone, so I went to call back. I could not connect to anyone. Now, mind you, I need my phone to make appointments, to make money, to live. Thankfully, I was able to send a text back and make the appointment for later that day. Still, I could not call anyone, people could not call and talk to me. It read ‘SOS’ where it should read 5G. I found SOS meant that I could only call 911. Ha. At that point, I thought it be better to see SOL. I’m so glad I kept a sense of humor. When I left my office and got closer to the phone store, the phone worked fine. This happened twice – the first time my phone got reset at the store, the second time I got a new SIM card. Still trying to keep it light. Hours later still no phone. Next, my daughter called T-Mobile since I’m on her account. She would have to have them reset my phone from the main office. She worked on it for like two hours. And to think this blog was to be about how Facebook let me know that I was to let them know if my page was appropriate for children under 13. It struck me as odd. I did no swear on Facebook posts, well maybe, shit and there’s no nudity. I tried to look up a list that would not be proper for someone under 13, but there was not one. One of my friend’s whose job is in social media for a nudist colony has never gotten a notice, although she had seen it before. I finally talked to my daughter about it, and she said children under 13 should not be on Facebook. I totally agreed with that comment. And so, I’m in the process of trying to find where to report my page is fine. If I don’t do so by the cutoff date, less people will see my page, which is Life in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp – Mayberry It Is. And it is – Mayberry. Funny thing is well before that I noticed my views dropping off to less than a handful, which was odd. I have more than one thousand followers. I normally had at least 150 to 300 taking notice of my posts – sometimes more. It’s when it finally occurred to me. I wondered if someone reported my page because I’m a Spiritualist. I’d really like to think that’s not it. I mean really there’s all kinds of religious information everywhere on Facebook. Most religions believe in some type of afterlife. And now after two hours of my daughter calling T-Mobile and resetting my phone by calling the main phone number and connecting twice with two separate people, they said my phone was fine all along. Ha Well heck – yes, it is! Backstory: My daughter told me a few months ago that she and her husband were changing their phones and thought I should just get my own plan. I was getting ready to have my separate account, and then this occurred. New phone company? Perhaps. Or maybe it’s just my energy that plays with electronics. I really cannot have that, unless of course I win the lottery. And through all of this – driving back and forth to the store twice and getting my phone to work with texting only – I really kept my cool until I was told I did not. I did keep my cool. I’m sure my insides were boiling over, which would be felt by an empath. Perception is a bitch that will lie to your face. Is that language really inappropriate for children under 13? Doubtfully. Have you heard what some teenagers talk about? Maybe not, we all do get busy with life – making a living, making things work. Perhaps, we’re not hearing well, or paying attention – just keeping busy with what we need to get done. Maybe, it’s time to slow down, breathe and reassess what life is truly about. Thankfully, at the end of the day, I pulled my ears up from going down the rabbit hole, which really may have been a better place to be, for at least a few moments. Blessings of Peace and Love Here’s one: It took me years to figure out how to stream music from my laptop through Skype for my online development classes. Guess what? Skype is going bye-bye. LOL It is part of my life, and I love it!
I love teaching others how to bring their gifts of seeing, feeling, knowing, hearing, tasting and smelling forward. By now, you should know I’m talking about psychic and mediumistic abilities. I teach online classes, always have something starting up. I also teach workshops in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. I recently taught Symbology of the Tarot. I like tarot, but do not really use it in my readings. Yes, sometimes I will be shown a card during a reading and the information about the card is significant for the client. But the act of shuffling, cutting the cards and putting a spread out, will not happen when you receive a reading from me. Backstory: Just after my divorce I knew I’d be having a huge tax bill since I was a self-employed freelance writer. I worked giving ‘tarot’ readings during Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I threw three cards – past, present and future – and turned my gifts on. So, at the Symbology of the Tarot Workshop when someone said that I was the ‘queen of cards,’ I set the record straight. Yes, I do card draws for my YouTube Channel, From the Ethers, and for my Instagram and TikTok accounts – loricartermedium. It’s interesting because I have never thought I was doing a card reading. I do daily card draws on Instagram and TikTok. The length of those videos run anywhere from 6 seconds to 20 seconds. I do a couple of draws that could be close to 45 seconds. To me, those card draws are something to think about. If it fits your life, it fits, and I hope it helps. Now, on YouTube my card draws on Thursdays run 2 to 3 minutes. And on Tuesdays, I talk about a topic for five to six minutes and then do a card drawing where those watching pick-a-number. Each numbered card draw is a couple of minutes at most. So those might be thought of as little readings. I guess someone viewing any of those videos might think they are readings. When I do readings, they are either 30 or 45 minutes. And I bring Spirit through and do not use tools – only my intuitive gift and help from Spirit. I do short two-to-three-minute Spirit Greetings to include a touch-in with Spirit, evidence of Spirit, life guidance and psychic information at the Sunday Afternoon Message Service in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. Backstory: One time on my YouTube channel I actually did a pick-a-number and gave psychic information without tools. I thought it was a little odd and didn’t like it, so I only did it once. I’ve seen others on YouTube use tarot, divinity or oracles cards and get other information psychically and apparently mediumistically too. I don’t know. It’s just not for me at this point. Maybe, someday. It’s best not to say never. I do believe some people like to see the cards in front of them. I could see how it might assist with the client connecting to the reading more, to see something physical, or at the very least be a little more comfortable. I’ve heard some people say they like tarot card readings better because it includes the ‘bad stuff.’ I just have to say, yes, less than good things happen to everyone at one time or another, but there’s almost always something good that comes from it. And in the end, people will go to who they are supposed to go to, regardless of if tarot cards are involved or not. I am not the ‘queen of cards.’ Again, I use them on social media to give those viewing something to think about, get inspired, give hope, help someone. It’s what I try to do on a daily basis. I do my best to learn knew knowledge to assist my clients. I’m always looking forward to exploring new ideas. Blessings of Peace and Love |
