FROM THE ETHERS
|
I love to gaze the sky – the clouds, the stars and everything in between. There’s always something there – faces and animals. These days it’s become a bit more fascinating. I see letters, numbers and words. It’s a specific type of cloud formation. I can see it coming.
Just the other day I was asking the universe a question and sure enough I saw the word, “if” and the number “37” made out of clouds. My question was answered. God willing it will happen with a little help from my dad on the higher side of life. His favorite number is/was 37. Luck was always on his side. I’m always looking to the sky. Again, there’s a type of cloud that depicts letters, numbers and words. I focus my attention on it and it morphs. A few days ago a friend and I were cruising down the road. We turned a corner and I spied it – I said, “Oh my god, it’s says, ‘LOVE.’” My friend saw it too. It was awesome, and then it morphed into “all good.” This was a message for each of us. And still just yesterday, I saw the specific cloud formation again. This time the universe was playing with me – random letters appeared. LOL. This is an everyday occurrence for me and has been for the past year or so. Backstory: When I was kid growing up in Wisconsin, I’d lie on a blanket and watch the clouds as animals and faces would come into my awareness. Once in a while that same blanket was used to see the Northern Lights. Strips of white light would appear, disappear and reappear in another spot. It made me think that there was much more to the universe than was known. Even star gazing and watching the full moon come up at the beach is a wonderment to me. What about when rainbows appear? I love that. It means that wishes are granted, good news is on the horizon. I was driving to gym the other morning and saw an angel in the sky. I could see the eyes, the nose and the mouth. Her arms and hands were facing downward as to heal the earth plane. It was amazing. I took the photo while driving Yikes! Actually, I took two because I just knew the first one was a blur and it was. Most people could see the image made out of clouds, but some could not. It made me wonder if one has to be a clairvoyant to see these things or maybe it’s just a mindset to know that it’s there. All I can really say is start a cloud gazing practice. See what turns up for you. Answers await. I know my next specific cloud formation is just around the corner. It’s always there waiting to be seen. Many Blessing of Peace and Love!

I love it when I find change – dimes and pennies – in the oddest places. I know that Spirit has been here for a visit, just letting me know that yes, we still exist.
When I moved into my place in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp, there was a dime underneath the baseboard next to my desk. A couple of times my neighbor came in to chat and plucked it out. Each time I put it back after she left. I liked it there. One day I was going through a couple of boxes my friend left me. In the midst of it, a dime popped out. I loved it! I knew she was with me. Another time I was going through family boxes with my daughter and sure enough another dime. Backstory: When I first became a certified medium in the Spiritualist Camp, another medium two doors down allowed me to do readings in her office when she was not there. One of the first readings I gave, Spirit showed me a dime. I told my client and the meaning of it. She said she had not seen any dimes. I suggested perhaps in the future. When she got up to leave, she found a dime in her lap. We were shocked and amazed! Be on the lookout for change found in odd places. Be sure to know that it is Spirit – family and friends – letting you know they are around you. Say hello or have a conversation with them. Another sure sign that loved ones in Spirit are around you is finding feathers. Or how about those fun little Spirits who seem to keep moving your keys and other items. Maybe you smell a certain cologne or perfume or cigarette smoke – let these instances inspire you to talk to loved ones on the higher side of life. Let them know you still have them in your heart. Send them love. Today, instead of having one dime under the baseboard, partly sticking out, I have three. I wonder when I will see my next dime to add to the collection. On some level, I kind of think they are good luck charms. Happy hunting! Many Blessings of Peace and Love! I love it when I find change – dimes and pennies – in the oddest places.

Pretty much everything you think is putting it out to the universe – it’s the law of attraction among other natural laws. I’m sure I mentioned I’m a freelance writer for Hometown News in Volusia County. I picked up the job again a couple of months back – a girl has got to make a living.
Then I decided to teach online classes. I knew I could do it because everything is energy. My last class was Thursday. I had two beginner classes and one intermediate class for eight weeks. Normally, classes are in my office, and a couple of the online students have been in my office for classes. Those students wondered how we would do psychometry, holding an item and getting impressions, and billets, a folded piece of paper with either a question on it or someone’s name in Spirit. It’s similar to psychometry. I always knew it would work. Why? Everything is energy. Students who had been in my office for classes were amazed. For the past three weeks, I’ve been working up a story for the newspaper about wildlife and how development has pushed critters, deer and sandhill cranes to appear in the city limits. A friend of mine had a photo with a deer crossing the street in Lake Helen. Awesome pic! Now some of you might think ‘Lake Helen, is that a city?’ Well, yes, it is. Last week in DeLand I saw that a deer had been struck by a vehicle and landed on the side of the road. I wondered if I manifested that. And then where it is a little more country a black bear came out of nowhere and was struck by a Jeep. The vehicle rolled three times. Everyone was OK, except for the 300-pound bear. It took forever to do all the interviews for the story and then finally just a few hours to write the 1,200 words. I took a couple of breaks in between. One time I went out to get a Starbucks. On the way, I noticed traffic was stopped one way. I was coming from the other direction, so I stopped. Sure enough, it was deer. I could still see it on the outskirts of the wooded area. My thought, ‘shucks, if I was just a minute sooner, I could’ve gotten the shot from my car.’ I didn’t need it though because I already had the perfect photo. On the way home, sandhill cranes stopped me and others in our tracks. Once home, I got several texts from that same friend with pictures of a deer and a fawn grazing in her front lawn. It’s so simple – what you put your mind to will happen. Maybe in not the way you think it should, but it will come to fruition somehow, someway. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to write this today – my fingers are a little sore. I knew it would happen, though because I haven’t missed a blog in 85 weeks. The good news is my massage therapist will be here at 10:30. Of course, I’ll be doing a phone reading beforehand. I know I will always have enough and more because I believe I will. Plus, Spirit has my back. Many Blessings of Peace and Love! What a week! All these planets in retrograde and in the midst of eclipse season. Oh, and let’s not forget that we are in the Age of Aquarius, which is about peace, harmony and love. Those people stuck in the old ways of the Age of Pisces, which is about money, power and control, are doing their best to keep it that way. The good news is in the end, the universe will not allow it. Enough preaching! LOL
I have to say my appointment times with clients in the past week have been just a little bit off, not my usual precise self. It’s that Mercury Retrograde I’m sure. The other day I mopped my painted wood floors – not an easy task. It takes a couple of hours. In the midst of doing this, I had vision or a thought that someone was going to knock on my door. Imagine that! I figured it would be my neighbor. I kept going. Finally, I sat down with a cup of hot tea and waited for the floors to dry. A few minutes later – knock, knock, knock. I opened the door slightly and saw it was someone else – a deer in headlights moment. She said she had an appointment with me. I asked if she could comeback in 15 minutes. I readied quickly, but she never returned. I found the appointment in my book. It was written in two squares. Yikes! I called her and she said she would be back, no worries. Thank goodness! That was so unlike me. Perhaps, it wasn’t the right time after all. The universe is always talking to us. We have to pay attention. If that wasn’t enough, I was to do a phone reading. In the midst of getting ready, the client called me, and I soon found I was to do a reading for two people, a mother and her grown daughter. I went with the flow. Most times people want to hear from someone in particular. I kept getting this image of a little girl with brown hair just above her shoulders. I also noted bangs. She wore a black dress with a white lapel. The person they were wanting to hear from in Spirit was the matriarch. Before she left the earth plane, she told her daughter and granddaughter of this little girl in Spirit that was waiting for her. I described her to a tee. Wow! I got goosebumps. Finally, I had a returning couple come in for a reading on their anniversary. Sure enough, I had the appointment time written incorrectly. I saw that I had noon to 1 p.m. scratched out and wrote 11 a.m. Ha. In a previous communication, I saw that 11 a.m. referred to the healing meditation circle they wanted to attend before the reading. Ugh! That communication took place right before my online class was to start, so I wasn’t quite in my right brain. LOL The good news is all worked out for the best. I realized that as much as I try, I cannot always be perfect. It’s something for all of us to think about. All we really can do is to try our best and hope for the best – go with the flow. Blessings of Peace and Love! My daughter’s dog moved in with me last week. Talk about a change in life. I’ve already raised my kids. LOL. He is a beautiful brown and white 14-year-old corgi. Like a child, he has thrown up his food a couple of times. Gross me out! When I reported it to my daughter, she asked if he had eaten it. Yuck!
It didn’t take long for me to become mommy and not grammy, although I still use the latter. My daughter and her boyfriend came by to visit after a few days. He loved seeing them, but once the hello greeting was over, he came and sat right by my side as if to say, ‘I’m not going anywhere with you. I’m staying right here.’ With all the planets in retrograde right now, things have been a little cray cray. I do have a lot of love to give to others on the surface, but to give a deep, down love for Dante wasn’t going to be easy. It opened a lot of emotions I had conveniently buried. About a week into his new home he got out. I couldn’t find him anywhere. I probably woke the whole neighborhood calling for him. It was 7 a.m. I did call a friend to help. She came with her vehicle, and we drove about the neighborhood. My only thought was that someone stopped and picked him up – everyone wants a corgi. I cried my eyes out. Finally, we spotted him. I jumped out the vehicle and called his name. He saw that I was upset, so he ran to me. I was so thankful and grateful that my prayers were answered. Later, my friend told me that she could see sprinkles of light around us. Dante had found his forever home, or should I say retirement home as one of my students said. Speaking of students, one had to miss our online class last week because she had to put her dog down. The next week I told her that I had a new dog in the house, a corgi. It turned out her dog was corgi too. Bittersweet. A few days later I took Dante to get groomed. While I was walking up to Petco, I spotted another corgi, or should I say Dante spotted him first. We had a nice greet. He so loves socializing. I love the synchronicity of those stories. When I picked him up, he was happy to see me and hear my comments about his handsomeness. This morning Dante threw up his food again. I think he eats to fast. He acts like he’s starving, but the 20 extra pounds tells the real story. By the time I got back with the paper towel and bag, he was eating it. Gross! I got over it though since I didn’t have to pick it up. As I said earlier, changes are a happening with these planets in retrograde and let’s not forget we’re in the midst of eclipse season, too. Changes, they are a happening. Heal and release those pent-up emotions. You can do it. Go with the flow. You got this! Blessings of Peace and Love! Has this ever happened to you? You say something to a so-called friend and then it gets repeated. Ouch! There’s really no point in getting upset or angry. First, those are lower level vibrations. It’s OK to have them, but do your best not to live there.
Realize that sometimes people are not grounded. Why is this? Many reasons, mostly they haven’t healed from what happened to them. It’s much easier to live outside of the body. When I say this, I mean on a mental level and even a physical level. You ask how on the latter? It’s simple: out of body experiences. OBE’s mainly occur during meditation and sleep. Backstory: When I lived in Wisconsin, a family moved in across the street. They were from Florida. I became friends with one of the kids, so we walked to the high school together. Two stories he shared: The orange blossom fragrance – when he described it, he was euphoric – out of this world. The second: One time while he was sleeping, he was outside of his body looking downward at himself in bed. I thought it to be pretty cool. And then when you finally have the experience yourself, it is now concrete evidence. One time I saw myself looking down on my body in bed. Another time, I saw my astral self from my bed. I was standing facing the door as if to leave the room. I was amazed. We ALL leave our body during sleep, and then return before we awaken. It’s called Astral Travel. Ask yourself this question – have you ever had a ‘dream’ that you were in a home you weren’t sure of where you were, but it felt familiar and safe? If so, this could be your home away from home. Backstory: I remember most of my astral travels. One teacher told me that there’s an etheric cord that connects to your physical body. I never recalled seeing it, until one time when I was lucid dreaming (awake in your dream), I asked to see it, and sure enough there it was. Very cool. Like I said we all astral travel when we sleep. Some of us remember on the conscious level; ALL of us have it stored in our subconscious. Think about this – how do you explain déjà vu? As far as staying grounded in the physical, get help to heal. It’s OK to do so. These are trying times. We are spirits having a human experience. It’s best to stay grounded and be more mindful of our actions. Many Blessings of Peace and Love! So, I sit in my little world; it’s called Mayberry, a place of quietude, and that it has been. I started doing readings in my Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp office again a couple of weeks ago. It feels good to see people for readings, not that I don’t like phone readings.
A really cool thing happened last week at one of my online intuition development classes. We had been having phenomena occur to include Spirit talking through the electronics. Three students heard Spirit say, ‘Come a little closer.’ I got goosebumps just writing it. It’s true phenomena because more than one person experienced it. I love that! There’s so much going on in this world – the veil is being lifted in so many ways. What is to be believed? It’s hard for me to say. I don’t watch the news, no point with mainstream media. And then there’s the other news personalities who run the other side of the gamut on YouTube. I get plenty on Facebook too. I’m over it. Aren’t you? Back in November, I wrote about the crabs in the bucket story. I feel like it’s worth sharing again. A man was walking the beach and saw another man fishing. As he neared the fisherman, he saw the bait bucket with no lid. A bit closer now he looked inside to find it filled with sea crabs crawling on top of one another. The man wondered again about the lid and asked the fisherman, ‘Why isn’t your bait bucket covered so the crabs won’t escape?’ The fisherman replied: ‘If there is a single crab in the bucket, yes, it could escape. However, since there are so many, if one tries to crawl out, the others grab onto it, making sure it can’t escape so it will meet the same fate as the rest of them.’ The story could be in regards to people around you or even just your emotions. The reason why I share this again now is because I was thinking that instead of you, yourself trying to escape the fate of the others, why not pull everyone out with you? There’s a thought. Blessings of Peace and Love My daughter came over last night to help me get rid of boxes. Ugh. Time to let go of some things.
Before last night, I had probably eight boxes of newspapers and magazines with my articles in. I worked at a daily for 18 months, a weekly for about six months and finally became a freelance writer, which I still dabble in today – 20 years doing the latter. Oh, I almost forgot those college newspapers in which my daughter teased about the titles – “The Angler” and “Central Florida Future.” LOL I carried those boxes around with me through at least 11 moves in six years and for what. I never once got into those boxes. So last night we peeked into a couple of them. I saw an article here and there. I caught my daughter going through one magazine page by page. She said, ‘I just want to see why you saved this for 17 years.’ I laughed and showed her the article. Just the thought of letting those newspapers go made me private message one of my former editors earlier in the week. I asked him what he had done with his old newspaper articles and he said something about putting them in the recycle bin. He inherited many from his father, a newspaper man his whole life. He did say he kept a couple of historic newspapers that had articles in about JFK’s assassination. Wow. How cool, I thought. My former editor reminded me that practically everything I’ve ever written is online. We also reminisced about the times I would call and tell him the color of his shirt and khakis – remote viewing. LOL I let go of those newspapers, although there are few left to go out the next time. It’ll be easy. Going through other boxes, we found a 1930 newspaper of The Milwaukee Journal. Pretty cool. My daughter thought so too. It made me wonder if she might keep a couple of my newspaper articles. Hmm. Letting go of physical things seems to be a bit easier than letting go of every day happenings. When one is kindhearted, some people take advantage of it and almost think it’s an entitlement to receive that kindness. I’m learning to let it go. Every now and again take stock of boxes in your closet. Take stock of your friendships and relationships too. As you grow, people and things leave, so those for your highest and best can come in. Blessings of Peace and Love! I’m several weeks into my online classes, two beginner and one intermediate. They are going extremely well. Students are developing their gifts quite nicely. I love hearing their experiences, plus teaching is so rewarding.
Two Sundays ago I noticed the Skype connection wasn’t the greatest. I thought perhaps it was because someone had an older computer. A week later I realized that Spirit was trying to come in through the electronics. It was exciting. When I mentioned it to the students, they were amazed. I couldn’t believe it took me two weeks to figure it out. Backstory: I have a couple of friends and know of other people who are big into the idea of Ghost Hunting. They use Spirit boxes, a radio with a frequency scan mode to detect electronic voice phenomenon, and other gadgets. I’m not a real big fan of it. My thought is that people who use these devices are trying to take a shortcut to communicate with Spirit, not put the work in. In my class Thursday, I hoped so much that Spirit would try to come through and communicate. The line was clear as a whistle. I shared with the students what was occurring during the Sunday class. We couldn’t hear specific words, but knew it was definitely Spirit. Everyone was fascinated. As the class progressed, one of the students shared that her gift for hearing Spirit, Clairaudience, was coming to the forefront. She clearly heard someone yell her name while she was outdoors at home. She went to a couple of neighbors to ask if they heard the phenomena. They had not. It’s good to be skeptical. In the end, she knew it was Spirit and she clearly heard it. She was delighted as was I. Spirit did not disappoint Thursday night with phenomena, though. As the students were giving one another information, my phone, which sat at the side of my laptop, turned on and started recording my words. I did not say, ‘Hey, Siri.’ Being in an altered state teaching class, I checked with the students. They confirmed. I was pleased something occurred. I cannot wait for the Sunday class. I hope Spirit will provide another show. Maybe this time we’ll be able to make out the words. One could change their mind based on experiences. It makes it real. I still do believe the best way to communicate with Spirit is through Mediumship. The bottom line is when you have your first experience with phenomena, it becomes real. Sure, at first you’ll try to explain it away, but eventually you will have come to terms with it because Spirit will continue to bring it until you are unable to explain it away. Blessings of Peace and Love! |
