Dying to be Me, A Review of One Woman’s Afterlife journey!

by | Feb 17, 2017 | , , , , , , , ,

Anita was suffering with cancer, stage 4, and her body was shutting down. She entered a deep coma and as doctors waited for her life to end, she was experiencing “the other side”. When she regained consciousness (totally not expected), her cancer spontaneously healed and all her physical ailments improved. She is now a healthy and happy woman! She chose to come back, she says, and not stay “there” because she wanted to share her experience and their (Spirit’s) message with the world.

Love is a Decision

Love is a Decision

by | Oct 14, 2016 | ,

When I was in high school, I attended a 12-week Marriage Enrichment Seminar sponsored by my church. It's purpose was to help teenagers understand the mechanics of marriage and what it takes to keep it going. Each week we discussed a different aspect about this all-important union. One week the topic was "Love is a Decision". I had a problem with that one and argued with the moderators...two people I admired and respected, whose marriage I thought was perfect (it wasn't but that's another...

Connecting With Spirit and Living the Life we WANT

by | Aug 29, 2016 | , , , , , ,

It's been quite a while since I last posted and as usual it's because there's been a lot going on! My life gets busier and busier. It also seems to be getting harder. Definitely not easier. The older we get, the more we must deal with, especially when it comes to the loss of loved ones. My last blog post was about the sudden loss of my young nephew. We are still dealing with that, our grief, our shock and disbelief and most of all...MISSING his physical presence in our lives. Since then I've...

Dealing With Loss

Dealing With Loss

by | May 20, 2016 | , ,

Although we all shall one day cross into the "great beyond", it is one of the hardest things for us to deal with in life. Despite knowing the soul lives on, the pain of physical loss is difficult to bear. It is especially hard when they are young. People are supposed to live to be ripe old senior citizens. They are supposed to have a long, well-lived life and die peacefully in their sleep. In a perfect world, that's how it would be. But we don't live in a perfect world do we? My recent,...

4 Simple Steps to Spirit Guide Communication!

by | Apr 21, 2016 | , , ,

In my Tess Schafer-Medium series, the main character, Tess, is just what the series' title claims...a medium, BUT she also has regular communications with her Spirit Guide Sheila. This aspect of Tess's character is an integral part of who she is. Although speaking to "the dead" is her special ability, it's her regular communications with Sheila that are more indicative as to her spiritual openness. We all have Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels. Every single one of us. In fact, we have more...

Two New Books!

by | Dec 29, 2015 |

Hello again! I promise to keep this post short and sweet! As many of you know, I write books that involve the spirit world...cozy paranormal mysteries is what I like to call them! My Tess Schafer-Medium series (all found on my author page on Amazon) includes many of the things that I've learned and encountered over the years. They also include things that others have experienced and shared with me! Mostly, though, my imagination is let loose and they pretty much write themselves.  Honestly,...

10 Signs Your Departed Loved Ones Are Paying You a Visit!

by | Oct 12, 2015 |

It's been a long time since my last blog post and I sincerely apologize for that! Life just keeps getting in the way and it leaves me to wonder if it will EVER slow down! I'm thinking not. It seems to me that the older we get, the busier life becomes! I think it might be that way because time speeds up as we age. It really does. Or so it seems. This year has been a challenging one. I've had to deal with deaths in the family and despite my beliefs, the fact that we pass into spirit and abide...
