The robins are singing!


It has been a long, brutal winter.

Lily Dale usually gets more than its' fair share of snow, but this year takes the cake.  This winter has been especially fierce. 


The snow is higher than average and the temperature colder.  On the nicer days, my older son enjoys climbing the highest snow banks created by the snowplows --- some over 10 feet tall.  Bitterly cold temperatures have frozen water & heat pipes, along with noses and toes. 


Thus far, our lowest temperature during the day has been -24 degrees F and windchill has made it -40.  Ice and snow damage have effected many in Lily Dale.  Large pieces of ice have fallen on roofs, vehicles, windows, and more.  Ice damming has produced leaks and discussions of where to put the bowls and buckets to capture drips. 


But today, after this avalanche of snow and ice, we have sunshine, blue skies, and sightings of red-breasted robins (the generally accepted harbingers of Spring).  It may be only 22 degrees F, but I am filled with gratitude and hope.  These are the moments I told myself would come again.


Folks are just as eager for the sunshine and lush greenness of Lily Dale as I am.  As each day progresses, more and more clients are calling to schedule their readings for the summer Season. 


Soon we will be repairing our houses, washing the final coat of road salt off our vehicles, and taking bicycle rides.  We will see the swans gliding on the lake again with their newest batch of babies.  And we will dig in the gardens, planting our flowers and vegetables.


There is a promise in the air.  And her name is Spring!

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...

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ...

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,...
