Writing is my therapy. It helps me to focus my thoughts and to point them in a more positive direction. That is what I am hoping to accomplish with this blog tonight.
Just hours ago a horrific terrorist act was committed in Paris. It is still going on as I write, in fact. As my friends and I wait with baited breath my heart weeps and my mind screams. You see...I have many loved ones over seas. People who have accepted me into their families as a part of their own. People who worry about me when I am sick. People who check on me when a bad storm is coming. People who care for me as much as I care for them. They are my non-blood family. Therefore, when they hurt...I hurt. And I am so unbelievably heart sick that something as horrible as this is happening so close to people I love.
I simply don't understand this. I don't understand the mentality of believing you, or your, religion or culture is so right that people must die who don't fit your mold. This has went on for thousands of years and doesn't seem to be letting up.
I'm not going to single out any religious order. Nor am I going list the faults and atrocities of all of them. I'm simply going to plead. Yes, that's right...PLEAD.
I am begging anyone who reads this to remember what faith is all about. What hope is all about. What LOVE is all about. It is my understanding that the basis for ALL religion is the "Golden Rule". Something so simple yet so easily forgotten. Treat others how you would wish to be treated. It's that simple. Can we not see past the teachings of man and focus on what it is really all about. Whether you are black, white, pink, yellow or purple. Catholic, Jewish, Muslim or Pagan. We all have one very important thing in common.
We are ALL human.
Not every person who shares the same lineage as these terrorist is a future terrorist anymore than every Catholic priest is a pedophile. There is good AND evil in the world. Sometimes it's too easy to forget the good when something like this happens. I know...I watched airplanes fly into the Twin Towers as it happened.
So please...for what it's worth. Want justice for those taken too soon. By all means, pray for an end to this for once and for all. But above all, don't let the action of others take away your humanity. Don't let it take away your love. The people of Paris are opening up their homes to strangers. That is an act of love in the face of total despair and heartbreaking devastation. Bless them for that.
Blessed Be )O(

Mirror...Mirror....
As I was driving home from work today, extremely sick and looking lovely, I had all the things I need to do going through my head. Responses to messages. Request for little mini-readings and the like. One might wonder why I was thinking about all this considering how ill I feel right now. Well...anyone who doesn't know me may wonder. Those who do know how seriously I take what I do and how important it is to me to do right by people. If I say I'm gonna do something, I try my damndest to do it. Sure...I don't always succeed but, I know in my heart, that the effort is there. I may be late...but it WILL get done.
Now, you may be asking yourself why in the world I'm writing about something so trivial. But it's not trivial...not to me. A lot of people out there, especially those in the paranormal sector, believe image is everything. That if you have the right image then you are "good to go", so to speak. That if you talk a good game the masses will believe you and you will succeed. That may be true once you've reached the top, but that's a BIG maybe. All of us amateurs have watched the rise and fall of some of the most loved paranormal peeps on television.
In my humble opinion, what those people lacked is memory. Yes...you heard it right...MEMORY. Remembering how you got there and who was depending on you along the way. This is where my "image" issue comes into play. You see...you can sell yourself very easily on social media. You can make people believe anything you want to through 140 characters. But when the time comes to put up or shut up could you do it? Could you be everything you had written yourself to be? That is a very tough question we all need to ask ourselves.
This is where, to me, the most important quality comes into play. It's called follow through. When someone seeks you out for guidance, give it. You may not be able to give it as soon as they would want it, but give when you can. When someone asks for help, if you can't aid them, find someone who can. We aren't always right nor do we know everything. Don't be afraid of being wrong. It's human. Be wary of the person who never see's they can be wrong. These people truly are more frightening than a ghost any day. Share credit. Give props to another when deserved. Remember...life is a journey, not a competition. BTW...I stole that saying. ;-)
Last, but definitely not least, be who you say you are. People, by nature, have very long memories. You may say the tiniest white lie about yourself in order to appear more appealing. You may also get people to believe it. But you won't get them to forget it once they know the truth.
Now...I'm off to die for a short while. I honestly haven't been this sick in a long time and really can't believe I made it through the day. Go me!!!! But if I didn't write this now, I would forget what I needed to say. And now my son is yelling at me to go to bed. My hero... #FOLLOWTHRU
Sweet dreams, my pretties...

It's all a myth...or is it?
I dreamed once of unicorns and dragons. Fairies and mermaids. All the mystical creatures from stories I'd read as a child and, let's face it...an adult. There is something very romantic about mythological creatures. Something that grabs hold of us and brings out the mystic in us all. When we imagine these creatures we aren't surrounded by skyscrapers or an industrious nation. No...we are instantly transported back to chivalry and mischief. Danger and damsels. Hero's and bloodshed....and long slow kisses you can only experience when you have been gripped in deaths fist and escaped unscathed, if not a little worse for the wear.
You may wonder where I am going with this. Well...as I always say, trust me...I have a point. Lol. My point is that these creatures bring out the best and the worst in us.
But why is that? Why do we fantasize about something that doesn't exist? Things people tell us have never existed? That's what people want the masses to believe, anyway. Well...let me ask you this....if vampires never existed then why are there accounts of strikingly similar creatures from all corners of the world from as far back as 4000 years ago? Keep in mind when you ponder this that there was no way for people from all over the world to communicate with each other, like there is now, so how could they have experienced such similar things? As someone who has been to New Orleans ALOT...I can tell you for certain that something is out there! Lol!
The same goes for Bigfoot, Aliens, Loch Ness, Werewolves, etc...etc...
It wasn't too terribly long ago when the greatest minds of their time thought the earth was flat, right? In the last decade scientist have rediscovered species they thought extinct for over 10,000 years. So...taking these things into consideration, how can anyone say for certain that creatures of myth don't, and have never, existed? Well, for one thing, we need to believe in them. We need to believe in the magic of the moment. We need to believe that a small part of it still exist. We need to dream. That part is very simple, the need. That explains why the stories live on to this day.
That having been said, it still doesn't explain how people separated by such distance could see the same things, does it? Well....my opinion is not popular among the scientific community, but that's okay. Lol. I truly don't mind. You see, I believe that all myths have some basis in fact. The stories of Gods and Goddesess. Of Atlantis and creatures unlike anything we can see today. If these creatures and places never existed, if there was absolutely no evidence that they ever inhabited the earth or the heavens, then why are they still ever present today? Why are they studied and hunted? Why are there still sightings? Attempts at communication? Worship placed at their unseen feet?
The simple answer is that the world is full of nuts and that people will believe anything. Yes...that is the simple answer...but is it the right one? Just food for thought....

Picasso...me?
I've touched on the subject of automatic drawing on here before, Written books on the topic, too. What I would like to do now is delve a little deeper into the reason I feel it is so important. Honestly, I feel it is one of the most important tools that can be used when it comes to paranormal investigating. For those who are unfamiliar with the process, automatic drawing is simply drawing what you see in your mind when you are given a psychic vision. People always ask me how do I know if it is a psychic vision I am drawing as opposed to just a random picture. This is the hard part to explain, so all I can say is that you just KNOW.
When an image pops in your head that has no business being there and it is accompanied by any additional information then, I believe, that is a psychic vision and deserves to be acknowledged. As you put pencil to paper and begin to see with your eyes, what you only saw in your head moments before, you will find additional information may come to you. This kind of gives a snowball effect and you may find your brain works faster that your hands can draw, but that's okay. If possible, always date your drawings so that you can refer back to them if the vision doesn't pertain to any immediate client or investigation. I have actually been lucky enough to get one of the Note 5 phones and can use my stylus pen to sketch out what I see therefore I already have a time stamp on the pic. Plus, it's easier sending them to my publisher when it comes time to send another book in. Yay!!!
The reason I'm harping so much on this is because it's real easy to get caught up in all the new gadgets out there. Hey, I admit it...they are COOL. But in my humble, yet seasoned, experience nothing compares to the emotion that can be put into a drawing. Nothing compares to having a client see you draw their loved one having never seen a pic of them. This happened not long ago when a friend of mine was conducting a private, family, investigation. While I was talking to her I asked her if she would like me to try and contact the woman in question...an old family friend. What I came up with, in just a few minutes, ended up being the likeness of the woman she remembered from so many years ago when she was a little girl. Keep in mind, I had never seen so much as a picture of this woman. I didn't even know her whole name. I only called her by Mrs. (insert last name here). Yet there she was, right there on my phone. Confirmed by one who knew her well.
You just can't imagine that kind of feeling. To have concrete proof that an individual has truly contacted you even though they are deceased. It warms the heart and humbles the soul to know that you have given someone something that no other piece of equipment can. That is why I tell every team I know, whether I work with them or not, to take a pencil and paper on investigations. Listen to your mind, heart and soul. Draw what you see, hear and feel. You may be very surprised at what you get.
Blessed Be, my lovelies...)O(

Objectified...
Now...I know that this blog is supposed to be, primarily, paranormal based. However...since most of us use social media to interact with "like-minded" individuals then this pertains to that as well.
You see, I learned a very valuable lesson recently. I had already learned the pro's of social media interaction due to the success of my books and the part it played in that. I am forever grateful, too, for that. It made getting my name and my product out there so much easier. It also introduced me to people I never would have met, otherwise. Allowing us to become close and share ideas and dreams for our future in the paranormal field.
As of late I have been shown the con side of the coin. I have learned that being a woman, on social media, immediately puts a target on you to be the object of desire...and scorn. Funny, really, how the two can go hand in hand, huh?
The fault, honestly, lies with me. I'm a nice gal. I don't want to ignore anybody. I see every new face as a potential ally, not an enemy. I see potential readers and people in need of spiritual assistance. I never knew that others saw meat. You know what I mean...they see a woman, they write something funny on her feed, she responds out of kindness and a smidge of obligation...and it's ON. The race has begun to see how fast you can get her to allow uncalled for behavior. When she kindly states that there is a line that can't be crossed, trying very hard to not hurt another's feelings, that line is ignored. When she finally decides that she isn't going to participate in this type of banter she excludes herself and blocks whomever it may be so as to not have to deal with it anymore. Now...you would think all is well, right? No harm, no foul, right?
Nope.
As we speak, the person who did not listen to the boundaries of the conversation is more than likely labeling the woman as a bitch or a manhater, therefore discrediting her in the eyes of potential readers. Sound fair? Nah...I didn't think so either. So, I have a question for all you fellas out there. Do you all do this? I mean...it is kinda like junior high school stuff, right? I'm 43 years old, so it's been a long time since I've been in school but this feels like Deja vu. If this was happening to your daughter, would you approve of the situation? Would you like what was going on? Nah...didn't think so.
For all you nice guys out there...and yes, I KNOW you exist...does this make you angry? Do you hate being compared (even secretly) to "men" like this? Do you hate that they make it harder on the rest of you to have a decent conversation with a woman? I honestly believe that you do, and I commend you for it.
Oh...and ladies...don't think you're getting off with a hall pass on this one. There are just as many snakes disguised as women lurking all over social media. Trust me...I've seen it. You know the type...fake pics and statuses meant to entice men, taken or not. Made up stories from the helpless damsel in distress to stir up sympathy. Yeah....we all know it exist. You give us good women a bad name and it pisses us off, as well.
So, even though I fear this will fall on deaf ears, I have a plea to all who have a seat on the social media train. BE REAL. BE HONEST. BE HUMBLE and RESPECTFUL. Remember...there may come a time when you cross paths, in reality, with those you have interacted with in the virtual realm. Do you really want to have to explain your actions? Could you? Food for thought...
All aboard...

Why?
I thought long and hard before I decided to write this post. I considered all the possible ways we, as a public, may be wrong. Had we misinterpreted the information given? Had we jumped to a wrong conclusion in the midst of anger and perceived betrayal? Were we in any way wrong? I came to this conclusion...
I really don't give a damn.
Now...that may seem a bit harsh but, when you read on, you will see exactly why I feel that way. I'm talking about the damning evidence that a very popular ghost hunting show fakes evidence. Now...I'm not a mud-slinger so I don't plan on naming names but, if you follow twitter at all, you will know whom I am referring to.
On to the reason I don't give a damn. It really is this simple. My damn that I don't give is in reference to whether or not we have enough evidence to condemn them. Let's face it...if they (or any other teams or individuals) conducted themselves in a trustworthy manner the chances that anyone would question their evidence and ethics, or lack there of, would be fairly slim. It is my understanding that this is not the first eyebrow raised when it comes to their investigations and antics.
Rule one...Never, and I mean NEVER, give anyone a reason to doubt your integrity. Once that has been done it is almost impossible to recover from.
Rule two...If you don't get anything, well, then you don't get anything. Don't be afraid to say that the evidence just wasn't there tonight. People WILL understand. They may not feel as entertained as you would like them to be...but they will continue to watch because they TRUST YOU. They will have no reason to doubt the evidence when you DO get it.
Rule three...Always keep unedited footage. If you aren't filming live and have to edit due to time constraints then this rule is A MUST to follow. You never want to be caught with your pants down and not be able to prove what you did or, in this case, didn't get.
Rule four...For the love of all that is holy please understand that spirits are NOT circus animals. They DO NOT, nor should they have to, perform on command. Understand this. Appreciate the fact that someday it WILL BE YOU that someone may try to contact. Above all know that it is more about communicating with the dead than it is about your ratings. These are peoples loved ones, half the time.
And last. but definitely not least, the general viewing public needs to understand that this is a calling for most of us. Would we like to be on TV and make money? Sure! Who wouldn't want to quit their 9-5 gig and be able to do what they love full time. I would be lying if I said otherwise. That having been said, the general viewing public is part of the problem. It is you that TV executives are trying to please by having teams fake evidence. Now, I'm not saying ego doesn't have something to do with it, as far as the teams are concerned. If ego played no part in it this particular team wouldn't have went to a location investigated by others, very recently I might add, and tried to prove they could get more from it. So, yeah, personal gain is a part of it. But, for the most part, I believe that due to all the shows out there and the movies that seemed to be made monthly on the subject, the viewers have become desensitized. As if it isn't "big evidence" it doesn't matter.
WRONG.
Every bit matters. Big or small. That is why honesty, in regards to evidence, matters. Each real EVP gets us one step closer to understanding what a soul goes through after it passes. One step closer to bridging the gap between the living and the dead. What happened this weekend put another stain on a field I love. One that is my calling in life. As a sensitive I get extremely angry when someone gets the privilege to interact with spirits and tinkles all over it by trying to please the populace instead of just listening. This need for ratings set us back...AGAIN. Once more we are considered "fame seekers" and "fakes" instead of people who genuinely want to bring peace to the living AND the dead.
Viewers...please understand that we don't always get people being pushed. We don't always get people being possessed by a spirit. We just don't. Ask yourself, if it was you or a loved one a team was interacting with, would you want them to be honest and possibly be able to pass on a message? Or would you want them to fake it and your loved one never know what you had to say to them? Think about that...
TV executives and teams...put yourself in the same situation. If you REALLY believe in the paranormal. If your really love what you are doing and want to be a part of something bigger than your day to day life, are you really doing that by being dishonest all in the name of the almighty dollar? Would you want someone like YOU trying to communicate with YOU after you pass? Would YOU trust someone like YOU to make sure you were heard? Think about that...
There. I feel better. Rant over. Carry on.

But, for the most part, I believe that due to all the shows out there and the movies that seemed to be made monthly on the subject, the viewers have become desensitized. As if it isn't "big evidence" it doesn't matter.
WRONG.
Every bit matters. Big or small. That is why honesty, in regards to evidence, matters. Each real EVP gets us one step closer to understanding what a soul goes through after it passes. One step closer to bridging the gap between the living and the dead. What happened this weekend put another stain on a field I love. One that is my calling in life. As a sensitive I get extremely angry when someone gets the privilege to interact with spirits and tinkles all over it by trying to please the populace instead of just listening. This need for ratings set us back...AGAIN. Once more we are considered "fame seekers" and "fakes" instead of people who genuinely want to bring peace to the living AND the dead.
Viewers...please understand that we don't always get people being pushed. We don't always get people being possessed by a spirit. We just don't. Ask yourself, if it was you or a loved one a team was interacting with, would you want them to be honest and possibly be able to pass on a message? Or would you want them to fake it and your loved one never know what you had to say to them? Think about that...
TV executives and teams...put yourself in the same situation. If you REALLY believe in the paranormal. If your really love what you are doing and want to be a part of something bigger than your day to day life, are you really doing that by being dishonest all in the name of the almighty dollar? Would you want someone like YOU trying to communicate with YOU after you pass? Would YOU trust someone like YOU to make sure you were heard? Think about that...
There. I feel better. Rant over. Carry on.

Belly laughin.....
I was on the chat line I have with my friends today and something very important occurred to all of us. While we were joking about how crazy we all sounded and wondering what color our straight jackets would come in we realized how happy we all were. I know that sounds weird. I'm sure you're thinking, "well...why was that surprising?"
You see...a few of us have had some pretty hard times lately. Between health problems, financial issues, heartbreak, car stuff, over working, lack of sleep...you get the picture, some of us had been feeling pretty low. But then a very funny thing happened....
We made each other laugh.
It sounds so simple. It really does, I know. But that one, small, simple thing made all the difference in the world. To all of us. It just goes to show you how important it is keeping the people you love in your life. Being able to find the humor in life will cure, or at least relieve, a multitude of ills. I'm a very lucky person to have these friends, and my friends across the pond, in my life. I only hope they feel as lucky to have me in theirs.
Be good to those who accept you for who you are. Do the same for them. When you have this in your life there is nothing you can't accomplish.
