Exit

“Dad?” I asked, “Can you see the angel at the foot of your bed, standing by the wall?” He said he couldn’t but I could and what I saw made me nervous. My dad was succumbing to the cancer that was eating him alive. He was in a hospital bed and I was sitting withContinue reading “Exit”

Crazy

Google defines ‘crazy’ as: “Mentally deranged, esp. as manifested in a wild or aggressive way.” It goes on to add synonyms such as: insane, out of one’s mind, deranged, demented and lunatic. Seriously, with descriptions like this, is it any wonder we fear those with mental illness? I have a friend who went through physicalContinue reading “Crazy”

Networking

The word “networking” has been coming up for me a lot this past month. Up until last week, I had shunned all attempts by strangers or casual acquaintances to meet for coffee. I did this for a few reasons. One is my days off are precious, full of errands and me time. I guard themContinue reading “Networking”

Rudeness

Disrespect, rudeness and being impolite are MAJOR hot buttons of mine. Lately those buttons have been pushed to their limits. When something bothers a person intensely, it’s likely because that person may hold themselves to a higher standard. You would never think to treat a person in the manner in which you are beingContinue reading “Rudeness”

Money

The relief I needed came in the form of a whisper just as I was falling asleep. I’ve known for years the Ascended Beings find it easiest to communicate when we are somewhere between drowsiness and stage one of sleep. Even for me, someone who communicates with Guardian Angels all day long, it’s often easiestContinue reading “Money”

Aiden

This is an email from one of my students. I found it to be so powerful and moving that I asked for (and received) permission to publish it. I left it how Lyn wrote it as I didn’t want to diminish her energy, essence and message. Oh yeah. Grab the kleenix. And Lyn, thanks forContinue reading “Aiden”

Change

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t like big changes. I like changing my hair color and nail polish and even mixing up my gym classes, but big changes? Nope. The type of changes I’m talking about are the ones that involve letting go of something that feels as comfortable as a fuzzy blanketContinue reading “Change”

Fate (part II)

Susie, whom I often call my aloe vera plant, calmed me down and helped me see things with spiritual eyes. She reassured me that I’d be ok and that I didn’t want Trinity as he was. She said he wouldn’t and couldn’t be the man I needed him to be and he wouldn’t be theContinue reading “Fate (part II)”

Fate (Part I)

There were so many teaser attempts to bring my husband and I together. We are both from the same home town, although I left at age 3. I lived in Minot, he lived in Minot. I moved to Fargo, he moved to Fargo. He was my youngest niece’s good friend all through high schoolContinue reading “Fate (Part I)”

Answers

I jokingly tell clients if I had all the answers, I would charge a $1000 an hour and I would be living somewhere that isn’t below freezing for 6 months of the year. I’d also be super rich as I would have accurately predicted lotto numbers and helped scientists determine when California was going toContinue reading “Answers”
