  • Fly Me to the Moon

    Fly Me to the Moon

    I say many times on this website I don’t do things in a typical way as far as Mediumship goes. Most times when I practice with other people I sit through pages of descriptions about my relatives and only a portion of the descriptions make sense and then it’s followed by a message of “Don’t give up” or “They love you very much.” They all read this way. I sit and wait for just one thing that points for sure to my loved ones and they give me a whole list of maybes. I am still not very good at this and I understand that, but I always give at least one thing that I couldn’t possibly know. I think that is worth more than three pages of maybes. One out of every ten Mediums I work with will give me specific evidence and when they do, they usually aren’t the type of Medium to give me three pages of descriptions beforehand. The following is a practice reading I had with a woman who was so unenthused about my reading I couldn’t wait for it to be over for her sake and mine.

    June 30, 2025

    I had a reading in the afternoon with a woman who sounded French. I went first and got several things to which she said she didn’t understand. It was hard for me to even get these things because she kept sighing as I was trying to connect. So I said, let me try with a specific name. She gave me the name Max and I quickly got something about “something going over the side of the boat.” She continued to seem unimpressed and wasn’t sure what that meant. I then heard lyrics from Frank Sinatra’s version of “Fly Me to the Moon.” The lyrics were, “Fly me to the moon, let me play amongst the stars.” She said that the lyrics possibly meant something, but was still unenthused. After the reading, she told me the lyrics could possibly relate to her son who had passed when he was very young. He had a long illness and they spoke to him about being with the stars when he passed to comfort him and they also read a book along the same lines about how when he passed he would be “in the stars.” I couldn’t believe the way she treated me when I gave this information like she wasn’t sure it was relevant. To me that was “evidence” of her son. I believe she treated me this way because I didn’t give a description of her son. I didn’t say, “I see a little boy, he has brown hair, he’s very sweet, etc.”

    Next, I heard “Chesapeake Bay” and she told me that the area near Chesapeake Bay was where she went on a trip with her son. She was still unenthused and I told her I didn’t even know where that bay was. She said it was in Maryland.

    I heard the melody to Frank Sinatra’s song again and then the words “Jupiter and Mars.” She said she was unsure about that as well. I said, “Okay let me see if I can get why he sent it again.” I then got the feeling the year when the song came out was significant. She looked it up and saw that Frank Sinatra’s version of the song came out in 1964. She said, “I know nothing about 1964.” I told her I felt the numbers 6 and 4 were significant and she said, “Oh, my son was four when he passed and he would be 6 right now.” She was still unenthused, but all I could think about was how horrible it was that this woman lost her son when he was so young. I said “I have a couple more minutes, let me try one more time,” and I heard “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,” and then “I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad.” She said that doesn’t mean anything to me. I said, “I think it is your son’s message to you, what you should be doing,” because to me it didn’t feel like he was sad or having a hard time in the afterlife. She said, “Possibly.” And with that I ended the session. I was glad to be done. I don’t try to force any opinions on anyone, I just relay the messages.

  • Light in the Darkness

    Light in the Darkness

    One of the things that I have found interesting with my Mediumship journey is that when you become a Medium, somehow word travels throughout the spirit world and before you know it, people that you might have only connected to briefly in life show up in readings. I picture myself and other Mediums as a lighthouse in the darkness and spirits that really just want to connect with the living find us somehow. 

    The following is an example from my journal of what happened while I was being read by a Medium who I thought was very good, and everything she said felt very legitimate. She brought in someone I knew from my past, but I just didn’t know them that well.

    June 11, 2025

    My practice partner went first and connected with my Mom’s old friend, Charlotte. My partner was a little hesitant about connecting with Charlotte because Charlotte was black and she was giving her motherly vibes. She thought there was no way I had a black Mom and she wasn’t sure if I would know her at all. When she said her description I instantly knew who it was. She said she had on thick white nursing shoes and an apron. She thought maybe she was a nurse because of the white shoes. She wasn’t a nurse, those thick white shoes and apron were symbols of her working in a cafeteria. My Mom worked in my elementary school’s cafeteria for a couple of years, and Charlotte was my Mom’s boss. I really liked hearing from Charlotte. I remembered how she was always so nice to me. I remembered her personality and it really came through in the reading.

    When I told my Mom Charlotte had come through she was happy and surprised. My Mom didn’t expect Charlotte to come through because of their falling out. Charlotte was clearly over it and sent her nothing but love. Charlotte’s message was, “Everything that goes on in this life doesn’t carry over as pain, it carries over as information.”

    My Mom only knew Charlotte for two of the 72 years she has been on this earth. The fact that she came through just solidifies my belief that we are all connected during this life and after. There is a reason for every connection we have no matter how long or how little you know someone. Everyone teaches you a lesson or brings something into your life that you need.

    I believe that people who pass over want to communicate with the living and I think when they find out someone they knew during their life starts working on their Mediumship skills, even if it was for a short while, they gather close because there aren’t many avenues for them to get in touch with the living. I mentioned in a post a few days ago that I encounter a lot of phonies while practicing. I just want to say that there are still real, legitimate Mediums out there, and I have come across several. I hope that if you ever decide to work with a Medium that you find one that is real, because what they can offer from the other side is truly amazing.

  • Somebody’s Watching Me

    Somebody’s Watching Me

    I think some people shy away from knowing there is an afterlife. I think realizing that our loved ones who have passed are still around us all the time and see everything we do can be a bit too much. They know all that we have done wrong and all that we have done right. What scares us is all of the wrongs. But, what everyone needs to realize is our loved ones see our soul and they see the full picture of why we do things, even if they are not what we are supposed to be doing. They see our mistakes as lessons and they see and understand that we are not perfect and we are just trying to make it through this life. They will always love us for who we are, not what we do. They will be proud of us for our accomplishments, but they will never look down on us for our mistakes. They just hope that we will learn to be better. That is the point of life, to learn from our mistakes and to be a better person because of them. You don’t have to be the best.

    I do think it would help make the world a better place if we all acknowledged the fact that our loved ones are around us and know what we are doing. Would you be such a jerk to the cashier in the store if your Grandma was watching? Would you be so unkind to others online if you knew your Dad was watching? I feel like we should use this knowledge as a reason to be better humans. Be a better human and make the loved ones you have lost proud of you, and while you are at it, give them a good story to watch. If you spend a lot of time not accomplishing anything, just think about how bored your Grandpa is when he “stops by” to check in, “Oh look, Jimmy is watching Netflix again.”

    I don’t have anything to hide now so I don’t really worry about them watching me. I do use it to make me a better person and to get myself out of my comfort zone. I have done things in my past that I am not proud of and knowing that my loved ones know about those things does bother me a bit, but I know that even though they know everything about me, they still love me regardless. I do try to use knowing they are watching me to my advantage and I have tried to make my life more interesting for them and for myself. I feel like my life and my outlook on life have become better simply because I acknowledge their presence.

    I do, at times, think a little too much about the fact that they are around me. I have heard that they come near when you are having troubles, when you say their name, just to see what you are doing, or when you think about them. When I am in the shower I try hard not to think about them so they don’t come around me because that would just be weird. So, of course, because I try not to think about them, they are all I think about. It just makes me laugh because I am sure they are thinking, “Why is this freak always thinking about us when she is in the shower?” By the way, I have read a lot of books about the afterlife/spirit world and they all say that when they are around us they are seeing our soul more than they are seeing our body. I hope that helps.

  • Rock On

    Rock On

    I’d like to share a more recent experience with you. This is from my journal. I refer to the person I am reading as my sitter. This is a common term that Mediums use. If you ever hear of a Medium looking for a sitter, they are looking for someone they can practice on, that they can “read.”

    June 9, 2025

    In the evening I had my first online practice reading in a while. I went first and decided just to ask my sitter if there was anyone she wanted to connect with. She said, “Yes, definitely,” and I asked her to just give me names and nothing else. She first gave me the name Annie and it ended up being her Mom. I got “Texas” and then “Roadhouse” and she said, “Yep!” She told me later that Annie was her Mom and she was from Texas and loved to go to chain restaurants. I got “Billie Jean,” and I said, “I think that has to do with Michael Jackson.” She said, “Oh, definitely.” She later told me the song “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson popped in her head as I read her and that song’s lyrics include “Annie, are you okay?” Which, just a side note, that lyric refers to resuscitating Anne, a CPR training dummy. That doesn’t have to do with anything I was just surprised by that info. I got a slight vision of birds and the words “Parrot” and “Parakeet” and asked her if she had birds or what did that have to do with anything and she told me her Dad carved birds and her Mom watched birds. I got just a simple sound I couldn’t place at the time and “Jimmy Dean.” After the reading I realized the sound and “Jimmy Dean” were from the song “Rock On” by David Essex. The lyrics, “Where do we go from here,” and “Which is the way that’s clear” keep repeating in the song.

    She asked me to try to connect with someone else after receiving information from her Mom, so I said I would, but I would only try for 5 minutes. She gave me another name, and it ended up being her cousin. Right away I heard,”RuPaul’s Drag Race,” and my sitter laughed and said that was a show in Vegas and she and her husband had just gone to Vegas. Her cousin then led me to the song “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something. I had heard this song in the morning when I woke up and wondered why. She said she thought that was her cousin slightly teasing her about getting room service for breakfast at the hotel. She said her cousin would have thought it to be somewhat snobby to do so. I thought it was interesting that even though contacting her cousin was spur of the moment, her cousin already knew in the morning that it would happen. 

    June 10, 2025

    I tried meditate in the morning, but I couldn’t focus. I felt like I needed to tell my sitter from last night what her song was. I ended up emailing her to tell her about the song that her mother had given her, “Rock On” by David Essex. When she emailed back, she said that the song made perfect sense to her. She said it touched her heart from the beginning because of the drumming sounds. She said it makes a very Native American sound in the beginning and that she has a drum that she really wants to incorporate into her Reiki sessions. She said she wants her Reiki sessions to have some elements of Shamanism.

    She said the line that said, “Where do we go from here, and which is the way that’s clear” made total sense because she and her husband are looking for a new home. They have tried for three so far and have lost out on all three. She said she knows the universe had their backs and it will deliver their perfect home and help a buyer for their current home just land on their feet when they are ready, but at times they wonder, “Where do we go from here?” 

    She said the song ended up being so meaningful it made her tear up and thanked me. She said I am super gifted, but in a unique way from other Mediums. That meant a lot to me and made me feel so good.

  • We’re Off to See the Wizard

    We’re Off to See the Wizard

    One of my favorite practice readings was with a woman who had lost her seven year old son and her Dad. When I started the reading, I kept seeing the outline of a fish that I believed to be from the movie Finding Nemo. I saw sand and an ocean and other things. I wasn’t sure if these visions were really for her because the woman had talked about the ocean in relation to my loved one when she practiced on me, so I said, “I don’t know if this is right because you were talking about the ocean, but I feel like I am getting the fish from that movie with Dory (I couldn’t remember the name of the movie). She instantly knew what I was talking about and laughed a little and said, “Yes.” She told me after the reading that she always says, “Just keep swimming” to her kids and even though they are grown up now, she had actually just said that the day before. This was her favorite quote from Finding Nemo. I got “sandpaper” and “woodworking” and she said those didn’t mean anything to her, but she would think about it. 

    I started hearing, “Because, because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does,” from the song “We’re Off to See the Wizard” by Judy Garland from the movie, The Wizard of Oz and I pictured the four characters skipping down the yellow brick road. This made her laugh again and she said, “My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz!” I got “greenery” and “race car” and she said those pointed in the direction of her son and her Dad. She told me green was her son’s favorite color, and I forgot what race care meant. I got “Don’t give up” and she said her Dad had that phrase on a picture frame on his mantle. I asked if they wanted to give me one more lyric or message and I heard, “Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas. That made us both laugh so hard. She said that was a reference to her watching Kung Fu Panda with her son.

    When I had given my introduction, I told her that I will get a few words and maybe some song lyrics. She said at that moment she thought, “I don’t know music, how are they going to give me lyrics?” She thought it was so neat that they came through with lyrics and messages that she would know from movies that she had watched. It was such a fun and joyful reading. What I really liked about the reading was the way it felt as if her Dad and her son were there together, joking around and sending lyrics to see if they could make her laugh, and she did! She said at the end of our reading that she thought I had a beautiful approach. Part of her official feedback was, “Thank you for connecting with my Dad and son. I loved how you brought them through in such a fun way. I keep laughing when I think of them bringing through Nemo/Dory and The Wizard of Oz. I loved that you made the session so much fun! Well done!” I was just thrilled to give someone a good, happy reading. That’s all I want, to make people feel better. I just hope I can continue to do so.

  • Ring of Fire

    Ring of Fire

    I keep a journal of my Mediumship journey to keep track of my progress. I’d like to share with you excerpts from two days in May that explain a little bit about the type of messages I get and all the doubt I have in myself and my abilities.

    May 10, 2025

    I am so excited about all of this spirit world stuff that I forget that other people think it’s a joke and not real. I had read for a friend of mine and got a little bit from his Mother. I thought he actually took me seriously because he asked me later to read for his Grandpa. But, it was all a joke and a waste of time. I got somebody, I am not sure who. I asked how they died and they said, “Heart attack.” I asked what they did or liked doing and they said, “Scuba dive and army.” I also got the words “team leader” “Bailey” and “Buick LeSabre.” I got “camping” and “fishing” when I asked what he did with his grandson. I then got “Budweiser” and the song “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash. When I told my friend what I got, he responded by saying, “That’s amazing because he was friends with Johnny Cash.” He didn’t say anything else. My heart sank when I read that because I knew right then he didn’t take me seriously at all. I googled my friend’s name and tried to find a Nickolas that might be related to him. I didn’t find anyone named Nickolas. I shouldn’t have, but I responded, “Thanks for making me feel like shit” and then I told him off.

    May 11, 2025

    I could delete part of yesterday’s journal and make myself sound better, but I am not going to. I was wrong about my friend making fun of me. I want my response to my friend to show how much doubt goes on in my head while trying to enter this world of evidential mediumship. If I have even the tiniest seed of doubt I take it and run with it. My friend texted me after I told him off for making fun of me and said, “I did not take it as a joke. My Grandpa owned a bar across the street from the music hall and Johnny Cash would come into his bar when he was in town and they developed a friendship over the years. 100% true story.” I apologized and said, “I just thought you were making fun of me. I am such an asshole.” He said, “I was not making fun of you. I was amazed by the Johnny Cash reference because apparently I met him too, but I was a toddler.” He also told me that the name Bailey was his cousin’s daughter that was killed in an ATV accident. He talked to his Dad and his Dad told him that his Grandpa also always owned older Buicks. His Grandpa was also in the army. I felt foolish, but again it was a good lesson for me to believe in myself and also to trust that others might also believe me. Even if they are few and far between.
