"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." ~ Helen Keller Sometimes in life we dwell on unhappy events. We despair, we worry, and we keep ourselves tortured by thoughts of the past AND the future. We analyze, we evaluate, we go over the scenario, we pick it apart in the hopes of understanding. The remnants resemble pulverized dust, crumbles of thought. In regard to past events, I feel this is our way of determining our levels of responsibility, guilt, victimhood, and understanding. Perhaps it becomes a wish to hit the rewind button. Or the way to have the fantasy of replaying the events in a better way. Or a way of "making sure it NEVER happens again". In regard to future events, we bring our fears of future outcome, reliving past feelings of mis-takes, and dreading what we "expect" might or might not happen. Just like little children who have lea

Recently, I spoke with a client who is paralyzed by grief. Her husband died five years ago and she is in the throes of intense prolonged grief . What defines her as 'paralyzed by grief'? she dwells constantly on the death and loss of her husband she cannot find interest in hobbies, people, or life in general she feels extreme loneliness. After our session, she told me that having a mediumship reading has helped her immensely for the following reasons: she knows her husband's soul lives on she recognizes ways he is still with her she knows he loves her still and always she knows she will have spirit visitations from him she knows she will connect with her husband on the other side when it is her time to pass she feels comforted she is beginning to feel beginnings of hope again Our time with spirit helped her to ease the pain of grief, but the efforts and opportunities and steps she takes today and into the future are going to make the difference in moving her beyond the grie

I have a long-standing love affair with nature. I love looking at the sky and trees and water. I find that my walks in nature provide me with fresh air and a greater sense of at-one-ment with the world. While on a walk recently, I looked at the trees - really looked. I noticed the beautiful spring leaves looking fresh and green against brown and grays of tree bark. Old trees with thick strong trunks towered over flexible saplings. And my eyes traveling upward to the treetops of the old forest- some 100 feet above me. My attention became focused on the tippy-top part of the trees. Splendid green leaves swayed in the spring breezes against the blue sky. Glorious! As they danced in the sun, I felt like my soul danced with them. Clear and free in the air, the top of the tree is the first to feel the sun, feel the rain, feel the snows, and see the birds skimming the air currents above. My awareness was perched at the highest part of the trees and I could touch the sun and experience the hig

So you think you spend too much time with technology ---- hmmm, you may be right. In the past century, we have come a long way in communications. We have welcomed televisions, computers, and cell phones into almost every home in America. These technologies have virtually taken over our lives and almost every room of homes. For some, this represents progress and ways of staying connected with our friends and family around the world. For others, these technologies represent a disturbing replacement of face-to-face communication. For still others, technology is a bad word synonomous with robot takeovers and mindless human zombies with eyes glued to the lit-up screen. Well, I thought I would share a few of my thoughts regarding technology's effects on mediumship/spiritual development with you. I have used all of those implements I listed above (television, cell phone, & computer). In fact, I am using one right now to communicate with you via this blog. Technology can assist me in c

Q: Hi, Willa. Thank you very much for the reading recently. It was very comforting. I'm enjoying the blog and have a question that I think is of general interest. I wonder whether mediums, such as you, are bombarded by your sixth sense receptors when you go about the day-to-day business of life--passing people on the sidewalk, or in the grocery store, or at the drycleaners, etc. Also, if you watch those stirring documentaries on television that make us all cry, do your psychic senses become involved or can you disconnect from emotionally charged situations? I guess I'm asking how a medium protects herself when she wants to turn the answer machine off for a while or maybe: So, how is life on this plane for a medium? Do you ever get any peace and quiet? A: Yes, I cry while watching movies and I find it especially difficult to watch the news or other kinds of drama trauma. I have learned to set limits on tv watching and exposure to that kind of thing. And while I sometimes strongl

I am sharing this with you all in honor of Mother's Day. I received this lovely story from a friend. The author is unknown. I give thanks for the 'angel' who nurtured me and showed me how to be a mother. Many blessings ~W A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and

Mediumship is a interesting process, especially because we have little to no control on the outcome of each session. Each reading is unique and has it's own special personal earmarkings. No mediumship reading is alike and you will not experience it in the same way even twice. Mediums are as almost as varied as their readings. Each medium has their own unique personality and style of working. But there are some constants in mediumship that you should be aware of. SPIRIT CONTACT: True mediumship establishes communication with those in Spirit --- family and friends who have passed. See what is a medium blogpost here. VALIDATION : True mediumship seeks validation from the spirits that come through and share their essence and opinions. You, as the client, have a very special job during a reading (ie. confirmation). This shows proof of spirit contact. CONTINUITY OF LIFE: True mediumship uplifts, comforts, and shows that there is no 'death' and there are no 'dead' because
