  • I Miss You

    I Miss You

    You don’t need a Medium to get a message from your loved one. You just need to be more present and watch for the signs. They send signs ALL THE TIME. We just don’t notice them. I got a really good example of the signs they send yesterday morning.

    I went for a run and allowed songs to come on at random. I no longer use a specific playlist like I used to. No matter what app you use, this is the best way to let spirit control what you hear. I don’t run with earbuds so I can be aware of what is around me. I keep the music relatively quiet because I don’t want to disturb anyone else that is out walking or running, for the most part it’s just background noise to help keep me going. A song by Miley Cyrus started playing and I would normally skip a song from her, but I decided to just leave it on. I didn’t really pay attention to what it was until I felt my phone vibrate in my hand. I thought it was a text message, but when I looked there was no notification, all I saw was the little square with the title of the song and it said, “I Miss You.” I shut my phone back off and then thought, “Wait, what time is it?” I looked at my phone again and it said 7:12. 7:12 is my Dad’s birthday, July 12. I instantly knew it was him sending me a sweet, simple message.

    If you miss someone and want to communicate with them, think about the numbers or key words that correspond to your loved ones. When you go about your day, pay attention to when you get the urge to look at the time. Do the numbers represent your loved one? When you are driving, if you happen to glance at a license plate, does it mean anything to you? When you hear a song that reminds you of your loved one, look at the time or look around for a sign near you that might be a symbol of them. You would be surprised about the number of times throughout the week you will get little hellos from the other side. 

    If they know you are more aware of what is around you, they will send you even more signs. Think about it. Maybe it’s been years since your loved one has passed. They may have sent you tons of signs after they passed, but you ignored them. So they started sending less signs. They still try every once in a while, but I mean, what’s the point if you aren’t noticing them? But, now you are awake and realize you need to pay attention. You. Will. Get. Signs.

  • 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.

  • Queen of My Double Wide Trailer

    Queen of My Double Wide Trailer

    I get a lot of messages through music from spirit. I don’t always have to be meditating. I just need to be doing a mundane task that takes my mind off of things. My mind has to be clear and not clouded with a bunch of the typical thoughts we all get throughout the day. Sometimes I get the music directly in my head and other times I get it through the music on the radio in my car or from my phone when I have iTunes on shuffle. I do this so that my music can be controlled by spirit. I don’t know how or why, but they seem to be able to control energy like lights, radios, televisions, computers, phones, etc. Pay attention to the music you hear. If you repeatedly hear a song, it may be a message the spirit world is trying to communicate with you or you may hear a song in response to a problem you are currently trying to work through in your life.

    My Dad is so clever when he comes to visit me. I went for a run this morning and during the run I heard an old song that I had downloaded a few years back because it was a song he liked and it made me think of him. Towards the end of my run I heard another old song that always makes me think of him as well and I realized he was saying, “Hi” and letting me know that he was around. I said (in my head) “Hey, I know I shouldn’t ask, but if you can, can you make the next song something that will tell me it’s you?” The starting melody of “Queen of My Double Wide Trailer “ by Sammy Kershaw came on and I thought, “Okay, bummer, it’s not him.” But then, I heard the first lyric and realized it WAS him. The lyric was, “Well I met her out at Murphy’s Restaurant, she said she was fresh from the farm.” That was a direct reference to him and my Mom meeting. They met pretty soon after she had moved to Omaha. It wasn’t a restaurant, but she was literally “fresh from the farm.” The wonderful feeling I get from these clever little messages is priceless. I just want to give other people that feeling too!

    If you would like a sweet little hello or message from your loved one, please visit my Evidential Mediumship Readings page to find out how. It will not be like a typical reading, but hopefully it will bring you a smile and a little bit of happiness which is what we all need right now.

  • Stuck Like Glue

    Stuck Like Glue

    I want to share with you my first experience on VerySoul. I had been practicing on my own and contacting relatives of friends or my own relatives. You really aren’t supposed to connect with your relatives all the time. If you did, you wouldn’t do anything meaningful with your life or your talents as a Medium. Mediumship is about working for the greater good and making the world a better place, so there must be a purpose for why you are connecting with the other side, other than that you miss your Dad or whoever else is on the other side. When I practice on VerySoul, the purpose is to learn how to connect and to get better so that someday you can give meaningful messages to someone who is grieving and hopefully you can help to take away some of their pain and sadness.

    The following is an account of what happened the first time I practiced with VerySoul. This was taken out of my journal. The spirit connection actually started the day before.

    April 29, 2025

    I tried contacting my Uncle. I wasn’t sure if I could connect with him or not because I think spirit wants me to stop contacting all my relatives, but I need to practice so I asked and tried anyway. I didn’t get much – Cadillac, Kookaburra, youngest son, chili, ketchup, frankfurters, and the song “Blame It On the Rain” by Milli Vanilli. The main lyric I heard was, “Whatever you do don’t put the blame on you.” My Mom didn’t seem to think anything matched up. I googled Kookaburra and the only thing that came up was that it was a bird from Australia. I wondered if that was a sign that one of the people I would read next through VerySoul would be from Australia.

    April 30, 2025

    I did my reading on VerySoul with a woman who had been doing readings for about 13 years. She connected with my Dad and told me a lot of things, but the one thing that got me emotional was when she told me my Dad wanted me to keep working at what I was doing. To not give up and to not doubt myself. I am positive this was in reference to trying to become a medium.

    When it was my turn I told her I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to even get anything, but I would try. I closed my eyes and tried to silence my mind and felt silly doing this in front of someone else. After a few awkward moments of silence I got the word Canberra. I asked if that was anything and she said, “Yes.” I started seeing very bright, very fast flashes of light, I asked if that meant anything and she said she was unsure. It was so bright it felt like a strobe light. I moved on and after a few more awkward moments of silence I heard “stuck like glue,” and told her. She said it made perfect sense. It was from the song “Stuck Like Glue” by Sugarland. When I was done with the reading she told me that Canberra was a state in Australia (where she is from). She also told me “Stuck Like Glue” was in reference to the day before when she realized that her ex was “stuck on her.” Her 2 year old son was at her ex’s house, they were on FaceTime and she noticed behind him there were still pictures of her and her ex on the wall even though he was in a new relationship. She said she worried he would be moving away and she had a feeling he was going to tell her he would be moving to Canberra. I got chills up my spine when I realized what I told her was correct and also because I realized that she must have been who Kookaburra was about and all the other words from the night before. So I asked about the words Cadillac, Kookaburra, youngest son, chili, the song “Blame It On the Rain” by Milli Vanilli, ketchup and frankfurters. She never told me if Cadillac had any meaning or not. We both agreed Kookaburra must have been the sign for Australia. Youngest son probably meant her son. Chili was actually for Chilli, a character from the cartoon Bluey. She said her son had been trying to say that character’s name over and over for the past several days. He also loved to eat frankfurters/hot dogs with ketchup. The song “Blame It On the Rain” was also in reference to her ex. The specific lyric I had heard was, “Whatever you do, don’t put the blame on you.” She said her ex blames everything on her, and I said I feel like that it must have been a message from her loved one (whoever it was) that she shouldn’t blame herself.

    I was thrilled that I was actually able to connect in person (via Zoom) and that the night before turned out to be an even better message. The other Medium told me she thought right now I had more psychic ability than medium ability. That was fine with me. I was in such disbelief and also thrilled to have any ability. It was like I had won the lottery. I now knew for sure I had the ability, I just needed to work hard and get better at it.

  • We’re Off to See the Wizard

    We’re Off to See the Wizard

    One of my favorite practice readings when I was still very new to Mediumship 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 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 car meant for her Dad. 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. 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’d like to share with you excerpts from my journal from two days in May that explain a little bit about the type of messages I get and show all the doubt I had in myself and my abilities in the beginning (I no longer have these doubts).

    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 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 this morning 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.

  • I’ll Be There For You

    I’ll Be There For You

    I had a practice session with a woman from Australia. She was nice to work with, but said she was in a bit of a hurry, so we tried not to talk too much and just jump right in. I went first and got a song by Bon Jovi. Honestly, taco salad came in before that, but I just left that. It seemed very American and I thought it probably wasn’t anything. I asked her if she had a birthday recently (because the song mentioned a birthday) and she said, “No.” I then asked if the song “I’ll Be There for You” by Bon Jovi meant anything to her. She said, “Yes it does,” and she explained after the reading that “I’ll Be There for You” pointed to her sister’s addiction to the TV show Friends because the theme song from Friends is also “I’ll Be There for You.” She said that Bon Jovi was someone they watched constantly on TV when they were younger and she thought it was so clever how her sister brought the two together. She said every time her sister comes through during a reading she brings up Friends in some way. She then asked for the specific lyrics I heard, I told them they were:

    I wasn’t there when you were happy

    (I wasn’t there to make you happy)

    And I wasn’t there when you were down, down

    Didn’t mean to miss your birthday, baby

    I wish I had seen you blow those candles out

    She teared up and she said she couldn’t believe how there could be “so many layers” to these lyrics. She said there was a birthday recently, but it wasn’t hers. She said her family had recently celebrated her Father and Brother’s birthdays over the weekend. I can’t remember who went first, but one blew candles out on the cake and then they re-lit them and then the other person blew out the candles. She said in that moment she thought about how she wished her sister could have been there and wondered if she was there in spirit. She said she felt strongly that her sister was sending a message telling her that she was in fact at the birthday party. She said her sister loved parties and she never missed one when she was alive.

    I will just end with that. If you would like me to try to get a hello or a wink from your relative, please email me at lyricalmedium@gmail.com. Only give me your first name and the first name of the person you would like to connect with. I only ask that you tell them in your head or out loud that you would like them to deliver you a message through me. This is not a party trick, please don’t ask them to send you a specific song or lyric, it just doesn’t work that way (I have tried with a few relatives and it just doesn’t work). They only give me something they want to tell you, not the other way around.
