It's a "no-brainer"

   People often ask me why I go out of my way to help other teams, individuals or organizations. Like the title states...it's a no-brainer for me.

   True...I don't have cable so I can't watch all the shows like Destination America or Ghost Adventures or Ghost Hunters. I only have the internet on my phone so if I want to watch other groups on you tube it's on a very small screen, so I rarely do. Most of the interaction I get from other paranormal groups is through social media, like twitter, and that's fine by me.

   This is where I'm primarily contacted and I love it! I love the interaction. I love the level of trust that other teams have in me. I worked hard for it.

   I think this is why people are surprised by how I do things. You see...for me, it's not a contest to see who can get the best evidence. It's not a race to see who gets what first.

   It's about the journey. About building relationships with people all over the world. About supporting like minded individuals in their passion for knowledge and educating those just starting on their path.

   I can't tell you how many middle of the night request I get for readings, remote viewing and impressions of locations. I can't tell you because there's no need to. I don't expect to get credit for every right answer I get. I'm simply happy to help. I know when I've needed the same thing from someone else they've always been there for me. That is truly humbling. To have that kind of connection with people.

   That's what I'm always preaching to others in this field. The importance of working together. So much more could be achieved if we all checked our egos at the door.

   Food for thought, folks.

Really, folks? Really.....

   While I was perusing Facebook this morning I came across a video...a CCTV video....showing an act that appeared to be paranormal in nature. Now...I make no claim to know if it is factual or not. However....I did find it interesting and decided it was worth a viewing.

   This was not the first I'd seen of its kind, nor will it be the last, I'm sure. I welcome them, in fact. Real or not I find them fascinating. Keep them coming, folks! Now.....as for the comment makers on some such videos....my next Lil tidbit is for you. Read it slowly if you have to. I may use big words....

   You DO NOT have to agree with something. You DO NOT have to believe in its authenticity. You are under NO OBLIGATION to validate it or deny its truth. By stating this I am, basically, saying....opinions are like assholes. We ALL have them. Making derogatory comments on someone's post, real or fake, does not give others a clearer view of the post. It does, in fact, give the viewing public a VERY CLEAR view of you and your need to belittle another to make yourself feel superior.

   I don't believe everything I see on the internet. Not hardly. However....I realize that my opinion of what I feel is fact or fake is irrelevant. The person posting it did NOT have concerns of my opinion in mind when they released it. I do not hold myself in such high regard to believe they did. Nor do I get my rocks off demeaning another publicly.

   For those who haven't yet grasped what I'm going on about, in this blog, I'll be sweet and simplify it. It is totally okay to not be a shit. Really! It is totally okay to disagree without trying to bring another down. I promise it's true. When your fingers hover over those keys remember one thing....karma. Karma follows intent. If you have malice in your heart (malice is the bad shit...a nasty feeling) when you go to do something....you can expect the same in return.

   Now....let the tasty comments on THIS begin....

   Blessed Be, my lovelies....)O(

I promise it's true....

   I normally write along the paranormal lines but not this time. This blog is really a vent for me. A way to exhaust myself by sharing things most may try to keep hidden. The embarrassing stuff, ya know? Truth is....I'm surprising myself everyday. I'm learning it's okay to be proud of accomplishments. It's okay to "pat yourself on the back." You see...a week ago I took a good, long, look at myself....and I wasn't pleased with what I saw. True...I have accomplished much in the last year. I have a wonderful son, successful blog, a stellar radio show that I cohost with a dear friend (hi Mike!), two published books....working on a third.....a stamp in my passport and more love from friends and family than I know what to do with.  I'm a very lucky gal.

   So, with all these things you're probably wondering what could possibly make me unhappy, right? Well....the answer is simple.

   It's me. I was making me unhappy. I was holding myself back. I'm 44 years old. I'm single. And sometimes I get lonely. True story. I realized that I had been living my life, right down to the abuse I put my body through, for other people. I'm not a lazy person, by any stretch....but I became lazy when it came to ME and my needs.

   Last Monday changed all this. I sat down and figured out exactly how much I was hurting myself through my diet choices. For those who didn't wanna read about diet stuff, please don't stop reading...this is important. I realized I was hiding myself behind crutches and vices. Like soda. That was my worst. I always justified how much I drank of it by saying "it doesn't matter. I'm squishy and people love me that way." Truth was....I didn't love me that way. Last Monday I got the surprise of a lifetime. I figured out that by drinking over 2100 calories a day, in Coke, I was consuming over 64,000 calories A MONTH unnecessarily. My addiction was killing me slowly, from the inside....and outwardly in my confidence.

   Never again.

   By dropping that vice by over 90% I have lost 8 lbs in a week. I feel, physically, better than I have in a long time...and I'm on the right track to feel better about myself than I ever have before.

   This may seem silly to some of y'all but those who know me know I have to problem putting myself out there if it can possibly help someone else. That's what my hope is. That someone will read this and realize they are worth the effort too. It takes work to be everything you want to be. No one else is gonna do it for ya, folks. I figure if I'm gonna be 44 and single....I'm gonna be as badass as possible! I'm gonna ROCK that shit!!

   Love y'all!!!

Darn it....

   Well....I'm not always right. Never claimed to be, lol. Anyone who really knows me knows I have no problem admitting that. That having been said...I know admit, with a heavy heart, that I was wrong. Wrong for always telling others the importance of shielding yet refusing to do so myself.

   Yep...it's ok, y'all. Wag those fingers at me. Tisk, tisk and shake your head. Tell me what a complete loon I am for not listening to my own advice. Better yet...tell me to go and look in the mirror. Tell me to take a good long look at the painful bruises that seem to speckle my body like a bad painting. I know I have not done these myself as I simply am not THAT flexible. Lol.

  Get your mind out of the gutter, lol.

   I have noticed these popping up over the last couple days or so and my buddy Gwen and I have come to a conclusion. I , quite possibly, acquired an attachment on my trip overseas. Honestly, I'm not surprised. So much happened over there that I didn't even tell my buddies I was with. Now...I have to admit that I should have been more careful. I should have taken the advice I'm always giving others. Oh well...live, learn and get to cleansing!!! Lol.

My dream come true....

   Well...this is my first blog from England. You'll have to forgive my lack of writing but I've been a busy Lil bee. Lol. In the 6 days since I've been here I've twisted both my ankles, badly, broke a nail, eaten my weight in fabulous pastry, walked about 45 miles in Scotland and fallen asleep on the train to Glasgow missing my stop. No worries...I got off at the next one, sprinted down the way, over the bridge and leapt into the next train like the graceful rock star I am. Lol.

   I've gotten to hug people I've chatted with daily for almost a year. I've traveled with some of the greatest gals on the planet. Went, in Scotland, to the vaults, the dungeons, Edinburgh castle, Holyrood castle and abbey, Mary Kings Close and Greyfriars Kirkyard. I've had the nasty, stinky, Mr. Boots breathing whiskey in my face. I've seen a prostitute he murdered and felt how she passed. I've watched a little girl sit in the corner of the room in Mary Kings Close, watching in awe at all of us walking carefully through there. I was able to explain an instance our tour guide told us about simply because the young "laundress" told me what happened. I've spent the night on the grounds where inspiration from "Dracula" came from. Walked on the beach and gazed out, lovingly, at the North Sea. I've been pushed at Grace Dieu Priory and had spirits all around me. Amazing!!!

   The entire experience has been beyond my wildest dreams and it isn't over yet. I have two more days to fill...and a pretty neat surprise for those who plan on watching Livestream this Saturday night. I honestly can't wait!!!! I've had the time of my life and am already planning my next visit!! Now....on to more adventure!!!

It Takes So Little...

   So....it's a quarter to 11 at night and I really should be in bed....but I just can't sleep. Sure, it may be the excitement for my upcoming trip, but I don't think so. No...it's the interview we had on tonights show.

   For those who don't know, Mike Rickseker and I have a show that airs every other Tuesday on LiveParanormal. Com called "Edge of the Rabbit Hole". We had the extreme pleasure of having Mr. Dustin Pari, from Ghost Hunters, on the show this evening. I was already giddy with excitement over this but, what started out as a simple case of "starstruck-ness" quickly turned into a genuine feeling of respect and admiration. A more down to earth person would be hard to find, in my opinion. He truly does "walk the walk". As a motivational speaker he uses his experiences to lift people up. To show them what they can accomplish through hard work, commitment and....probably the hardest thing....believing in yourself.

   It takes ALOT to impress me but he sure did. Anyone who takes time out of their day to be so giving to others deserves a big pat on the back and a kick ass high five, in my book. He stands out in a field that seems to draw the "me, me, me" crowd. This is an accomplishment.

   It takes so little to reach out to each other and show a little love. Give a little praise for a job well done. To help someone see their worth and potential. To put it simply....to make someone feel important. Imagine how different this world would be if we all just tried a little harder to lift up our fellow man. If we took 5 minutes to make a stranger smile. If we just understood that every person we passed on the street was just as important as we considered ourselves to be.

   His example is one we should all follow. From the guy working at the drive thru to the lady at the bank, to teenager who is working at the local Walmart while going to school. A smile and a kind word may not seem like much but, to someone feeling down or unimportant, it may be just the boost they need to get through the day. Just food for thought, peeps! Love ya!!!

Joe Blow matters too...

   There was a thread on twitter the other night and the question came up about people claiming, especially on TV shows, how people seem to be able to contact deceased "stars" like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Kurt Cobain and the like. Most believed these claims were proof that a lot of shows out there are fake, scripted.

   I have my own opinions about that, which I'm sure y'all are aware of. Lol. I've been pretty vocal about it in the past. Some were under the assumption that those stars would be long passed therefore unavailable for consultation. I'm not quite certain why they thought that, but to each his own.

   What I AM curious about is the need to reach out (or at least appear to) to the famous spirits but not so much to the everyday Joe. I'm not saying it wouldn't be totally cool to sit and chat with John Lennon. It would. Hell...one of my dreams is to make contact with Vlad the Impaler. Yeah...I know...I'm a weird chic. Lol. However...if I were at his castle and a servant came to me instead I would be thrilled! Contact is contact. Confirmation of afterlife is the same regardless of how famous the person was during life.

   Maybe I'm rambling....who knows....but I thought it interesting enough to pose the question to y'all so here it is....

   Do you think the evidence of spirits holds more weight if the ghost in question was well known? And....do you think the need to be close to stars, even in death, may encourage a "less than ethical" investigation?

   I'm really curious as to y'alls thoughts on this! Feel free to reply here or contact me privately.
