Singing the tune of June

The month of June always goes by so fast for me.  June is jam packed with the normal work and family commitments, but it also has the added pressure of getting outdoor projects completed before the start of the summer Season here at Lily Dale.


This year, we have to paint the house exterior and the porch floor.  While my husband scrapes, caulks, primes and paints, I am his gopher while watching over our 2 children.  Fun times ;)  Chasing after a very mobile 1 year old AND various project supplies that are in the opposite direction is not easy.  Thankfully, my 5 year old helps from time to time.



Also, this year is the Woodchip Project at the Lily Dale Children's Acre.   In our effort to maintain the safety of the play areas, the Lily Dale Children's Committee (of which, I am the chairperson) entered into a labor intensive undertaking of moving a BIG mountain of playground woodchips.  Thankfully, we had the help of some community volunteers, a small group of student volunteers from Cassadaga Job Corps, and a tractor.




And this is just a sampling of what we are trying to organize and get done before the Season starts!


Yesterday, I saw a friend's shirt that states: "There is no Off-Season".  With all of the work to be done, it certainly feels like that! *smile*


The sounds of houses being repaired and renovated, bees visiting the flowers, and the general "chop wood and carry water" of everyday life resound.  My world is singing the tune of June. 


Hurry, scurry get things done.
Season has almost come.
Thoughts of "to do" lists fill the air.
Spruce, polish, mend, paint and repair.
Sounds of hammers, saws, and tools everywhere.
We do these projects because we care.
Hurry, scurry get things done.
Season has almost come.

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,...
