Playground project 4/16 & 17

Just in case you are wondering... I am an active resident of Lily Dale.  Among other things, I am the chairperson of the Lily Dale Children's Committee, and as such I have been in the thick of planning and implementing a playground refurbishment project for the Lily Dale Children's Acre.

Along with organizing a successful community work event, pricing and installation of playground-related items have been a main focus of mine lately.  In today's event, we will be removing old woodchips, laying down weedbarrier, and placing new woodchips.  This will be a drastic safety improvement to our playground areas.

Thankfully, a handful of student volunteers from Cassadaga Job Corps Academy have committed to work the event as part of "Global Youth Service Days".  And we have some great volunteers from the Lily Dale community that we provide labor, refreshments, and comic relief.

This is "National Volunteer Week" so here is a great opportunity to come together as a community!  If you would like to volunteer, please contact me via email at willawhite@hotmail.com or phone 716-595-3755.

If you would like to donate for this project and the other improvements for the Children's Acre, contact me to make arrangements.

Lily Dale: The Season

"The Season". *** To those of you are not familiar with Lily Dale, this phrase may seem to indicate the time of year (winter, spring, summer, fall). But for those who know and love Lily Dale, it's so much more. And I shall attempt to describe some of "The Season" to you now. Running from usually the last weekend of June until the day before Labor Day, "The Season" takes place during the summer months in a spiritual community called Lily Dale. Whether summer visitors come for a day, a week, a month, or a season, they mention that they feel "an amazing peace when I enter the gate". For many, "The Season" has been a time for spiritual pilgrimage and renewal, education and fellowship, evidence of spirit contact, and healing. During "The Season", there is plenty to do every minute of the day. The schedule is abundant with healing services, spirit message services, thought exchanges, lectures, circles, seminars, and classes. In ...

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some...

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,...
