When "The Secret" came out, I jumped on that band wagon as fast as a kitten pounces on rolling balls of yarn. The concept made sense to me and I immediately "tried" to incorporate the concepts into my daily life. The problem? My stubborn,...
It's the holiday season of love and all around us we are surrounded with music, joyous color and beautiful twinkling lights. Life is quite magical during this time of year because many people are focused on all that is good with the world and thinking about ways to...
If life operates under the concept of Fate, the idea that everything is predestined, then Free Will, the idea that we determine our own destiny, couldn't possibly apply. Right? I think not! I truly believe that BOTH concepts play a significant role! Let me explain....
I blog a lot about the paranormal because the afterlife fascinates me. I do not doubt that once our bodies have expired, our souls live on. I KNOW this to be true. Although I find that quite comforting, it doesn't stop me from missing loved ones (to include...
Not too long ago I interviewed Tess Schafer, a medium who also happens to be the main character in my book "Be Still, My Love", and got her perspective on a few things. I truly enjoyed connecting with Tess and chatting with her. Yeah, I know, rather bizarre when you...

Inspirational Writing is one of the most intimate forms of writing. The message that comes through is either from your higher self (your soul), an angelic being (guardian angel? spirit guide?) or God. Although the last is really part of it no matter what since God...
I thought I'd try an experiment and invite a spiritual force looking for a voice to come through and write a blog post! If I'm going to write about characters doing something like this (Be Still, My Love's lead character, Tess, is a medium), then I should be able to...
