Dear Friends, As the summer breathes its last sigh, we transition to the cooler weather and Autumn. As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, 'The only constant is change.' Boy, was he right! As Autumn is around the corner, we are reminded that our bodies, minds, and spirits are always developing and evolving. We may begin to sense the impermanence of life as the leaves begin to fall from the trees over the next two months. We may feel the importance of embracing the presen

Dear Friends, As I was rousing from my sleep this morning, the impact of the burning of Notre Dame struck me.  As I saw the images of the flames trying to destroy the Cathedral, I felt the impact of the message for us.  It was not coincidental that this atrocity happened during the most holy week for Christians, Easter, and a few days prior to the beginning of the Passover holiday. What does it mean?  Although the fires raged through the Cathedral, a place of prayer, art an

"You must walk with God, not just talk to him. You must recognize him in all that you do and all that you feel and see. Your actions must be consistent with the love he sends to you. It is not just in receiving the miracles through prayer, but being a conduit of God's love toward yourself and others. Don't be like those who pretend to pray on bended knee, saying words of adoration to God but treating others in horrible ways". From "Conversations with Mary" Anna ***********

Dear Friends, Lately, I have been doing many readings with people who have found their relatives from the results of DNA tests. dI find the ability to connect to relatives and people we didn't know we were related to via DNA testing is fascinating. The other night, I had my own DNA surprise. I was a bit antsy and couldn't fall asleep. I felt a push to really look at my DNA results and specifically, my relative connections. Although I have had my results for months, I had neve

From the movie, New Year's Eve (2011) Sam: Sometimes it feels like there are so many things we can't control, earthquakes, floods, reality shows. But it's important to remember the things we can, like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts. Because the one thing that turns the world from a lonely place to a beautiful place, is love. Love in any of its forms. Love gives up hope, hope for the New Year. Let love sing in your heart today and throughout the year. I hope every

Dear Friends, Today we celebrate a man whose goal was to bring equality and peace in a non-violent way .... Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King said: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King, Jr. was speaking not only about the world at large, but to each one of us individually. We cannot find peace and love in relationships unless we drop judgment and hate ... which prevents love.

Dear Friends, Death is perceived in many ways in Western cultures. Some of these views of death can sometimes expand and enrich our own views. Many indigenous people believe that when someone passes away that they don't die, but instead, they "walk on." By walking on, they continue their journey, they turn a new page in their book. The rituals and ceremonies of the indigenous people are to help the grieving process and also to encourage the spirit into the afterlife. The La

Dear Friends, The word epiphany is from the Greek word for manifestation or appearance.  For many Christians, Epiphany refers to the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus and is marked by a feast day, which is observed on Jan. 6th. This is the day when the three wise men arrived to see the baby Jesus, and recognized his divine nature. But the word "epiphany" has another popular meaning ... a sudden flash of understanding or insight.  Similar to the three wise men, allo

Dear Friends, Years come and years go. Every year, we leave behind us moments of happiness and sorrow, smiles and tears. These moments teach us and lead us to opportunities. I hope you take the good and beautiful as well as the bad and not-so-pretty from 2018 and let it shape you in 2019. The New Year's holiday marks the time to "reinvent" ourselves and to commit to resolutions for making our lives better. Many of these resolutions are impossible to stick to (I can't tell

Dear Santa, I believe in the miracles of Christmas. I believe that Love was born and is celebrated in one form or another during the holiday season. I choose to ignore the naysayers and the "grinches" every year and focus on the peace and hope that the season brings to all of us. I believe in the light that extinguishes the darkness and the joy that follows. I feel a oneness with everyone, not only my own family. Truly, we are all one family. I celebrate the world and all i

Dear Friends, Although the holiday season is a time of peace, love and happiness, it is also a time to reflect on the past; the way it used to be, and the memories of sharing those days with those who are now beyond the veil. It is bittersweet. I remember the hustle and bustle as a child in my house. My father blasted Christmas music as the sweet fragrance of pine filled the house. He would begin making Christmas wreaths the day after Thanksgiving and continue through Chris

Dear Friends, As a born medium, I have been a conduit for connecting people to the other side for many years. It's never been about me, it's not even about the souls on the other side. It's about you seeking connection and validation that there is a bond beyond time and space. The souls that come through want to provide guidance, love and healing; to settle 'old scores' and create peace for you. They provide a conversation and deep connection on a soul and emotional level

Dear Friends, September 11, 2001. It seems so long ago to some people, and to others as though it happened yesterday. I remember sitting in my family room and getting a call from my husband telling me to turn on the television. My house was being painted at the time. The painters and I watched in horror as the second plane hit one of the towers. In fear, I rushed to my car and got my 10 year old and 4 year old sons from school. We heard the loud engines of the fighter planes

Dear Friends, Over the years, many people who have crossed my path have spoken of seeing 11:11. So, what does it mean? 11:11 is a highly spiritual number sent by the Divine to awaken the world ... it brings us back to our spirituality, and into balance.  All things, including numbers, carry vibrations.  As such, when someone sees 11:11, that person's vibration is raised. 11:11 seems to be appearing more frequently to those who've opened themselves to spiritual guidance, self-

Dear Friends, Over the course of many years, I have witnessed the joy, peace and love that flows from those on the other side to their loved ones and vice versa.  I have come to realize that readings are not about me ... I am just a conduit for the other side... and they are not about the souls beyond the veil. Rather, readings are about YOU! When you seek to connect to the other side, you are really seeking to find yourself, in a way that will give you confirmation and will
