For years I have been asked a question that I love to answer. The question is, “Do spirits see us in our physical form?” No worries, spirits do not see you without your clothes.

The month of May is usually the month we celebrate our mothers. My mother was a wonderful mother and she was my best friend.

This scene seems as if it would be an ideal scenario, but for many it could be an uncomfortable situation. We may feel trapped by family members who just don’t understand our situation and who tend to make us feel self-conscious and as… Read more →

As we go through the month of November we are constantly reminded to be thankful. But giving thanks is not always easy, especially when going through difficult times. For me, falling into a depression means no longer being able to communicate with spirit, and my mind will become foggy with sadness and self-pity. The communication will become dim.

I have seen the following quote “I wish heaven had visiting hours” over and over again, and it always brings many questions to my mind. “If I could visit a loved one in Heaven, would I want to return?
