Last week, I felt hopeful. This week, I feel unfocused. What happened? Someone I knew passed away (not from COVID) and this news threw me off balance. Then, I had to make a decision about attending a wedding in January. Do I go? Don’t I go? I love the bride and want her day to be special. Meanwhile, I don’t want to catch COVID from mingling with a crowd of people, most of whom I do not know. What do I do?

I was shocked and saddened by my friend’s passing.

I was distracted by the back-and-forth of decision-making when there’s no clear, correct answer.

In casual conversation, I told a psychic, “I’m unfocused.” She laughed, “Life’s a kaleidoscope and you’re trying to focus!”

“Life’s a kaleidoscope.” I like that. Things change. Life depends on where you focus each day.

Let me add that I recently had an actual reading with a psychic/astrologer. I asked about my writing and he said that things are going to pick up. He explained, “In terms of that energy that you miss from years ago, it’s going to come back. It may not come back in the same way, where people are all in one place [like a Psychic Fair], but you are going to find something and it starts with the new year; December 31, actually, when Jupiter moves back into Pisces. Be patient during this time. Carve out your nook in your home. There is going to be more material.

“Coming out of this experience globally, people are questioning their reality. ‘What is going on?’ They are going to want to know about these sorts of things. All you have to do is put yourself out there.”

Hopeful again.

A text just came in – distracted again.

Back to the old adage: “Where attention goes, energy flows.” A new year arrives tomorrow night. I want to focus on my writing, my art, my family, and my friends. I’ve asked a few psychics for their 2022 predictions, but I haven’t yet heard back from them. So, I’m on my own, figuring out how to create a satisfying new year. You too?

Let’s return to hope and light. Let’s find joy, while still maintaining a healthy physical distance from people we don’t know and a healthy emotional distance from those who disturb us. We survived this year. 2022, we are counting on you to provide the framework for new, positive, adventures.

Happy New Year!

I have hope.

It’s a beautiful day here. The sun is shining, the stock market is up, vaccines are available, cargo ships are being unloaded, holiday music is on the radio, and we have happy birds in our backyard. We’ve survived.

In the midst of the holiday chaos, I am having a calm, quiet morning.

I’m pleased to wake up each morning not panicking about what might have happened overnight. Sure there are issues and concerns, but I feel like knowledgeable, level-headed people are meeting those issues head on. I don’t have to do all the worrying. I can let the professional worriers do it for me.

If we can get beyond bickering, we can get things done.

I know there is a lot of distress in this world. I understand that people and animals are suffering. I do what I can to help out. I also know that there is some kind of plan in place in which souls have opted to challenge themselves with difficult situations. Every soul seeks growth experiences. Each of us plays a role in this dynamic. We might be the one being challenged, we might be the one helping others, or we might be the one sitting on the sidelines. We make our choices, then allow “cause and effect” to work. Karma.

Remember, it’s not blame. It’s not punishment. It’s karma -- a balancing of energies; a reflection of how we approach situations. What we put out energetically, comes back to us, energetically.  

I’ll tell you something: it feels good to have hope. I’m tired of gloom and doom. It’s worn thin. It’s time for something new. It's delightful to be hopeful.

My brain thinks it needs to explain to you why I have hope, but there’s no rational explanation for a feeling in my heart. Instead, let me fan this ember to enlarge it, so I can share it with my family, my community, my country, my world and, through this blog, with you. This is a season of hope. Let’s look forward to a delightful 2022, and let’s make that happen.

I promised to write about Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) today, but I’m having a few reservations. The last two people who told me about their NDEs, explained that they had been curious about Hell and had asked to be shown what it was. Somehow, in this Season of Light, it doesn’t feel right to share stories of Hell. So, I’m going to focus on a different aspect of one of these stories. Maybe next month, we’ll talk about the scary stuff.

Today, I want to share a question I’ve heard a few times. During an NDE, some people meet an entity who they believe is G-d. In itself, this is pretty amazing. Other people meet with a Council or with Spirit Guides. Sometimes, they are asked, “Did you help others during your stay on Earth? Tell me how you assisted others.” If the answers are sufficient, the conversation continues to other questions. If the answers don’t measure up, and there is room for improvement, the person is returned to life on Earth to do a better job of helping others.

Recently, Barb Wilcox told me about one of her NDEs. She recalled being asked something like, “What have you done to help people?” She answered and G-d said, “That’s good.” The second question was something like, “What have you learned?” G-d listened to her answer and replied, “That’s good, but you need to learn more.” He added, “You need to go back.” Barb didn’t want to return, so she began asking questions of G-d. There is much more to Barb’s NDE story, but I’ll save that for another time.  

Years ago, Dave Bodell told me about one of his NDEs. In his twenties, a wise Indian on Earth had advised him to, “Unlock the secrets and teach others.” Twenty years later, Dave had an NDE. The old Indian was standing there. He said, “You have not unlocked the secrets, and you have not taught others. Do so.” After returning to Earth, Dave began working with stones to explore, and share, their metaphysical properties.

Rhonda Harford-Gibony also had an NDE. Her experience came with a choice and a suggestion. After a car accident, she walked through the Light. At the end of the experience, she was told that it was not her time to go and that she had to make a choice. She could either stay or go back. However, she was told that she had not yet done her greatest work. If she wanted to do that work, she had to return to Earth. She woke up in the hospital.

So, I guess my question for today is, “Have you helped others?” When you travel to The Other Side and are asked this question, what will you answer? If you have a life review, will you be pleased with your efforts?

There is so much good in this world. It’s easy to overlook the good and focus on the imperfect. Did you see the story of the guy who drove to Kentucky with his food smoker in tow so he could feed people after last week’s tornadoes? Did you see the videos of people untangling animals from fishing lines? Are you aware that Cody’s Friends, in Tucson, collects and distributes pet food and blankets? Did you know that we have a horse rescue group? Some volunteers assemble “Shoebox Angels” to ensure that all children have Christmas gifts. There are so many ways to help!

In the world of psychic ability, many people do this work so that they can be a force for good in the world. I have spoken with intuitives who bring grace to this realm. They channel, and hold, the Light.

In our own way, each of us has gifts to contribute. Being asked, “How did you help others?” need not be our prime motivation, but wouldn’t it be nice to know that when we are asked that question, we have a good answer?

Take care. Enjoy the holidays.

Need a jolt of energy? Need clarity on a situation? If so, try out Tucson’s newest Psychic Fair. On the first Saturday of each month, a group of psychics, intuitives, healers, and artists meets on north Oracle Road. Richard Schickel heads up this group.

Last Saturday, I visited the Fair. I met up with old friends and introduced myself to some new psychics. I chatted with Kat Riegel, an Animal Communicator, from the old fair. I also saw Barb Wilcox and Mark Schultheiss. They have come into their own and do energy healing work. It was great to see them again.

Barb and Mark told me about their near-death experiences (NDEs). It was fascinating to hear new NDE stories, even if their experiences were a little more frightening than some (more on that next week). It felt good to be in the kind of room where these things could be discussed openly.  

Barb and Mark worked together to provide energy healing for me. Afterwards, I felt great! I felt like I could conquer the world – not that I would WANT to conquer the world, but it was empowering.

Some of the new people I met were:

Sharon Greenspan, who does chakra balancing, energy healing, and psychic consulting. She helps people tune up their chakras and auras for optimal energy.

James, an intuitive astrologer who works in the western tropical zodiac. He worked as a psychic and an intuitive prior to learning astrology. When he tried astrology, he realized it was very helpful and that he had a natural knack for it.

Bonnie Sarnelli, a psychic who sells jewelry and crystals. She is an empath and a clairvoyant. She also does angel readings and house clearings. Bonnie creates metaphysical art with crystals which relate to the chakras.

Cait, who creates candles and jewelry.

Justin, a life coach, also worked at the Fair.

In January, the Fair will be held on the first and third Saturdays. I’ll post more information when I have definite dates and locations.

This Fair is going to grow and blossom.

This time of year, we enjoy the company of family members and friends who we might not have seen for a while. These are members of our physical, extended family. We also have our extended “family” in the non-physical world.

Our non-physical family consists of our Spirit Guide(s) who has been with us since birth, plus all the Guides who step up to help with special projects.

We also have a Guardian Angel, along with other angels for particular needs.

We each have a Master Teacher who is with us for several hundred lifetimes. This teacher assists us in ascending to our next level, no matter how many lifetimes it takes.

In addition, we each have a supportive community of friends, relatives, and pets on The Other Side. People in Spirit can help us, love us, and send energy from The Other Side. They might hang out with us all the time, or they might be busy and show up only when summoned. They cheer for us and can sometimes warn of upcoming danger.

When I spoke with Reta in New Mexico, she told me about a larger contingent of souls which support her. After her infant daughter passed away, she recounted:

“I used to live on the other side of the mountain. I was at work and she was at the babysitter and I got a call saying I had to go to the hospital. I went to that hospital and did all this stuff. They pronounced her. My mom and her boyfriend picked me up and drove me back home.

“As we were driving, on the back country road, I see all these almost-misted figures, walking the opposite direction that we are driving. I got to my house and my house was the quietest it had ever been the entire time I lived there. There was nothing. I was hearing nothing. My clairaudience was gone. Shut down. I had nothing for almost three months.

“Where I lived was a highly-active, spiritual energy crossroads in the mountains. I was always picking up on stuff. All I could figure was that all the ones I had been talking to were leaving, to give me peace for a bit.”

I heard something similar from Randy when he mentioned:  

“Looking out on the world, it looked like a mirage. Everything was moving. The entire visual field, almost like heat waves coming off the road. That is how it looked to me. I could see all of the entities which surrounded me. I was impressed at how crowded it really was. Even driving down the road, these entities were still there, moving. When we drive down the road, we think we are moving, but it showed me how much the illusion really is. They were just there. You know how when you are sitting, the world goes by you in motion? You are stationary and the world moves? This is how it appeared like to me. I saw all of my teachers and Guides. It was crowded. It was layered with beings.”

Susan Sampson explained that our supportive group, along with deceased friends and relatives, is always there. It’s a matter of focus. When a client comes to her, she knows that these souls are in the room. If she focuses her attention on them, she can see and hear them. However, if her attention is focused on her client, the others fade into the background.

Imagine that. A roomful of supportive souls curious about our actions and activities on Earth. From the spirit side, they are here for us. From our side, we are here for them. We physically manifest the things which they cannot create because they are not in bodies. They prompt our handiwork, then we combine the materials to produce the things they dream up. We call it "inspiration."

Kathy McMillan noted, “You are never alone. Even if you don’t physically see someone with you, you are never alone. You have expanded your awareness to all the beautiful spirits who are cheering you on – who are experiencing through you and with you.”

Good to know.
