Reaching the next space of Light

This morning, I pulled on my long johns for the 47th time this winter, bundled myself and my son in hats, mittens, scarves, and snowsuits, and went for a walk in the wide wide world.

Crisp and cold, the ice and snow snapped under my boots. The sky was blue and clear. And the sun was shining. Actually shining. Life giver and life sustainer, the Sun is greatly missed on gray days of winter.

Grateful for the warmth of the sunshine, I stood for a moment basking in the beams. The light kissed my cheeks and eyelids. And I smiled. "I miss you," I thought. "I have missed you, Sun." It was like saying 'hello' to a dear friend.

As I continued my walk, I saw the Sun winking at me from sparkling icicles and diamonds in the snow. Icy puddles became mirrors in the light. My walk became about walking past the shadows of houses and trees to reach the next space of light.

Life is like that sometimes --- walking past the shadows and walking thru the shadows to reach the next space of Light. We walk thru crisis, grief, despair, loneliness, and discomfort to (re)discover the amazing brilliance of hope, joy, and peace.

Sometimes it feels like the Light will never come. I know what that feels like [and not just because I live in a northern clime *smile*]. But eventually, with the practice of patience and right intention (and especially if we ALLOW), we see the Light again. We feel the presence of God.

Today, while in the depths of winter, I long for the days filled with sunshine, but I also know the importance of the seasons in a year and in a lifetime. We have rich soil because of the snows and the cycle of the earth and Sun. We have a rich life because of the other kinds of weather, aka emotional weather.

When we discover ways to lovingly and honestly communicate with our own Souls and to lovingly and honestly relate with other people (other Souls), we feel the Light and Glory of the Divine in our lives.

May you discover YOURSELF in the Sunlight of Today!

Q & A: Will our session be a conversation with spirit loved ones?

Q: What happens during a mediumship reading? Will it be a conversation between me and my spirit loved ones? A: Each reading is unique, so I never know what to expect during a reading. As a medium, I open myself with the highest and best intention to receive information from your spirit loved ones. Once we establish contact with a spirit loved one and have established their identity, we can engage them in conversation and ask them questions. Many times, a reading is an opportunity to chat with your family and extended family and maybe a few of your closest friends. It can be a special time for reunion and a sharing of memories. It can be a chance to say "hello" or "I'll see you again" or "I love you". Perhaps it will be a time for making amends and apologies. Or it can be an opportunity for closure and explanation. Or it can a time to receive guidance and opinions from those you trust in Spirit. Or it can be a confirmation of your own experiences with s

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,
