You have probably heard the phrases: "Trust your feelings" and "trust your intuition". Because people are told to "trust their feelings", they are often confused when facing life decisions especially when what they "feel" is anger, fear, and resentment.  I believe this happens because people confuse emotional feelings for intuitional feelings.  Emotions can lie.  Anger, fear, and resentment can cloud the issue.  Intuitional feelings are feelings of knowing on a soul level.  To discern true feelings of intuition, remember that the soul is not afraid, is not angered, and is not resentful. Our divine selves are clear and unfettered by these unqualified energies. Our divine selves exist in harmony with the qualified energies of love, peace, and joy.  This is our Truth; this is the Good that is ours by Divine Right. Bottomline:  Listen to your inner guide and discern the Truth for yourself.

On Sunday, I will be the Featured Speaker at the afternoon church service in Lily Dale. (Read my updated comments below***) During the summer season, the afternoon services are held in Lily Dale's historic Auditorium starting at 2:30 p.m. The Auditorium platform has been a place for speakers of spiritual philosophy, social causes, and Spiritualism for 128 years. Several big names have spoken there - Susan B. Anthony, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and more! I have had the honor of speaking on the summer platform for over a decade. *Update: this service has been moved to the Assembly Hall because the Auditorium is in use for a workshop.* For those of you who are not familiar with this service, here is a basic outline for this one hour event: Lecture from the featured speaker (me, this Sunday) Messages from Spirit - demonstrations of mediumship are presented by the medium. This Sunday, my mother Bonnie White  will be the medium. She will give brief spirit messages to those...

There is a place in Lily Dale called "Inspiration Stump". If you follow the trail through the Leolyn Woods, you will find this special location. In a grove, surrounded by majestic old trees, a sacred space awaits. As you approach, you will see benches where hundreds of people sit each day in the summer, eager to receive a message from their loved ones in Spirit. Looking up, beautiful stately trees create an outdoor cathedral effect. This natural space offers a calm and peaceful way to connect consciously with your higher self and the spirits of your loved ones. The Stump is an important location for the visitors and Spiritualists of Lily Dale. Since 1898, services have been held here. And every day during the summer Season , people gather twice a day for a public message service. During the summer, demonstrations of mediumship are presented by the mediums in the form of short messages to those in the audience. There is a chairperson for the event who calls the mediums ...

For the past few weeks, my son has been saying, "I want to go fishing, I want to go fishing."  We live on Cassadaga Lake and he has noticed people engaged in the activity and he wants to do it... desperately I might add. Last week, he said it again "I want to go fishing" in a very determined tone.  So I told him to "ask Daddy". This may seem like a cop-out to some of you, but I said it because... I have only been fishing once in my life, so I rank as a complete novice I know my husband has a fishing pole somewhere in the back of a shed, and said ownership of the item in question IMPLIES knowledge So my son asked my husband to go fishing and I (the supportive wife and mother) asked my husband to go fishing with our son.  And it worked... My husband immediately purchased our son a child-size fishing pole then they went down to the lake and tried it out and our son LOVES it! He's almost 3 years old and he casts the line out with a smile an...
