How Persephone Found Heaven in Hell
Most of us know Persephone as the young woman taken by Hades into the underworld. Once associated with innocence, flowers and spring, she became Queen of the Underworld, a woman capable of moving between darkness and light because she understood them both. Her story is often presented as one of innocence lost, yet I have…
Read MoreThe People Who Remember Who We Used to Be
Yesterday I received news that a friend from back home had passed away. I immediately was transported back to a time when he came to visit and several of us went to the Santa Monica Pier. Sadly, I realized that out of the five of us that were there that day, two are now in…
Read MoreThe Quiet Strength of Grieving People
There are certain readings that will stay with me forever. Not because they were dramatic or filled with grand predictions, but because I was sitting with someone whose life had been permanently altered by loss, and yet somehow they were still standing. I’ve recently read for a few parents who have lost sons in their…
Read MoreThe Lost Art of Deep Conversations
I’m not good with small talk and have often been told I am “too intense” because of this. If I am having a conversation with someone, within minutes we will be discussing topics like childhood traumas, crop circles, relationship patterns, aging parents, or death and dying. I simply am only wired for deep and meaningful…
Read MoreThe Lessons My Father Never Taught
Some dates stick with us forever. Whether the horror of seeing JFK shot on November 22nd 1963, the Twin Towers tumbling to the ground on September 11th 2001 or being thrown out of bed on January 17th 1994 to the roar of the Northridge Earthquake, some dates leave a lasting impression on us. I always…
Read MoreThe Spirit Who Thought I Dressed Like a Hussy!
While recently sitting back stage to do a mediumship demonstration with another medium, I had a funny experience with Spirit. We were both quieting our minds before we were to go on, when a very insistent Spirit person started pushing to communicate with me. Since I have been trained to avoid much communication with Spirit…
Read MoreWhat Are You Letting Go Of This Fall?
The trees have it all figured out. When the air turns crisp, they do not cling to every leaf like it’s their last. They let go in bright, bold and unapologetic ways; and in doing so, make space for rest, renewal, and the promise of something new. So consider, what are you ready to release…
Read MoreA Love Letter to My Dog and Companion
There is no easy way to write this, but my heart says it is time to share. Two weeks ago I said goodbye to my beloved dog Becky. She crossed over gently, surrounded by my love after years of being a constant companion, emotional anchor, and in many ways, my dearest friend. If you ever…
Read MoreHow to Help Loved Ones Grieve Your Death
If there is one thing being a medium has taught me, is that death is often traumatic and unexpected. However, seldom do I see someone pass who has actually made it easier for their loved ones to grieve. In most situations, when an adult dies, the other people remaining, who are numb with grief, are…
Read MorePurge to Empower
I follow several spiritual leaders on YouTube and one thing everyone seems to have as a common theme for January 2024 is the need for us to purge. (I have noticed this theme coming up in the past few months while working with clients too!) 2024 is certain to be a pivotal year for people.…
