  • 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.

  • Oh Chariot

    Oh Chariot

    I was never quite sure about Mediums. I had never had a reading, but watched them on TV and felt that a lot of them were phony. I never believed John Edward or James Van Praagh. For some reason when I was a child Silvia Browne seemed somewhat real, but not completely. Theresa Caputo sometimes gives me chills when I watch her and I somewhat believe in her as well. In February of this year, I read that anyone can be a Medium, it just takes a lot of hard work and maybe a little natural ability. I decided to find out if that was true. The only way I was going to know for sure that someone can be a medium and connect to the other side was to try it myself, so that’s what I did.

    For starters, I believed I had a slight natural ability. I had always had “visits” in dreams from people who had passed. They felt real and they sent me very important messages sometimes. I missed my loved ones and would dream about them a lot, but the dreams where they would “visit” me were different. They would be in my dream, not speaking a word, but I just knew what they were trying to tell me.

    As a child, I also had a spirit come stand over my bed often. I could feel them, standing over me, looking at me. It scared the hell out of me. I would cover my head until morning. Eventually it stopped. I think I blocked out any and all ability to connect with the dead because I was a chicken.

    I decided to stop being afraid. I read a couple of books and meditated a lot. I read one more that told me to just be still, meditate, and see what came to me for 30 days. I didn’t think I would get much out of it, but, slowly I did. One of the first messages I received was just the lyrics to a song about using God to gain strength and it just spoke to me. It felt like the type of message I would get in my dreams. The song was “Oh Chariot” by Gavin Degraw. A day or two later (I should have written it down) I received a message while I was driving that when I would receive messages I would receive them through lyrics. I wasn’t sure if I should believe it or not, but I spent the rest of my drive thinking about how that would all work out and what would I call myself if I wanted to do this for real? Musical Medium? Lyrical Medium? When I started this website I googled musical medium and apparently there is a woman who went through a similar experience as me (as far as getting messages through music) and she calls herself the Musical Medium. So I decided I would be the Lyrical Medium.

    The last book I read was The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life by Suzanne Giesemann. I highly suggest this book if you would like to find the truth and connect to your loved ones as well. Suzanne explains everything very well and includes simple practices in the book to help you to connect to the other side.

    As I continued to meditate and really focus on connecting to the other side, my abilities improved. I’ve watched Mediums on TV and they seem to connect so easily and they are given loads of information. This has not been my experience, yet. So far, what I receive has been simple, but the messages are sometimes all the person I am reading needs for validation that their loved one is still around. It sometimes comes to me as a puzzle, but the moment it all comes together I get chills down my spine and sometimes all over my body. I have learned that for me, so far, I usually only receive five or six key words that point to who the person is and/or show that they around the person I am reading and a lyric or two from a song that gives a special message. I feel like I receive a lyric because it can help them express what they have to say in a better way than only just a few words can. Maybe I will receive more when I get better or maybe that is all they can really tell us, that is what I am practicing to find out.

  • 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.

  • Pleasant Valley Sunday

    Pleasant Valley Sunday

    When I started getting into Mediumship, my sole purpose was to see if it was real. I do believe it is real, but there are a lot of phonies. When I practice with other Mediums they often dismiss me because I don’t do readings in the way that they do. They give me a long list of descriptions about the person they say they are connecting with. I take notes and sometimes it can be pages of descriptions. There are so many that of course some of them make sense, but not enough to say, “Yes! That is definitely (insert name here).” When someone does a reading they need to tell you something relevant that no one would know, not “Your loved one has white hair , glasses and when they crossed over their (insert ailment here) is gone. They love you very much and they watch over you.” I also get a lot of things from Mediums practicing about Grandmothers who love to cook. Surprisingly none of mine did. Grandpas who were in the military. Nope, none of mine either. Not every Grandma loved to cook and not every Grandpa was in the military.

    My short readings that provide key words that point directly to their loved ones and sometimes songs that point directly to what their loved ones would say, or point to who they were are discounted. This is what is so frustrating about entering this world. Most Mediums have had professional training. I am always asked if I have had any. When I say I haven’t, then they tell me I need some. I don’t want to read like them if it is just a long list of descriptions and a guessing game. I just want to deliver exactly what I hear and that is it.

    If you have ever had a loved one who has passed over “visit” you in a dream, you would know it’s pretty quick. They send their love in the only way they know how and might send a quick message or the message might just be how much they love you, but they do it in a clever way. I think it takes a lot of energy for them to do so. I think when they work through a Medium, they can’t sit and have full on conversations with them. And, if they are trying to connect with you, why would they just sit and talk about the description of who they were and what they look like and nothing else? I get that that is needed so that you know who they are, but once you realize, the guessing game shouldn’t continue. Sometimes I do a practice reading with a Medium and the other Medium spends so much time describing my loved one that there never ends up being a message. It is all about them guessing who it is and wanting kudos for getting it right. The guessing game feels more about them needing a confidence boost and less about me connecting to my loved one. It’s not fun. Especially when I just want to hear what my loved one has to say and not that they were dependable or kind to everyone. I already know that!

    I’ll give you an example taken from my journal of one of the worst experiences I have had with another Medium during practice.

    May 22, 2025

    I had a horrible session in the evening. She was apparently in a hurry and I asked if she wanted to go first and she said, “No you go first.” She then told me she had already heard my introduction and it was wonderful and said some BS about all my Clairs and then said, “Wink, wink.” She meant she didn’t want to hear my introduction at all. I explained quickly anyway that I don’t receive messages the same way as others and I usually get lyrics and key words that point to their loved one. She was irritated I did an introduction. I then tried to connect, but she talked the whole time, and I even heard her husband in the background talking to her. Surprisingly, with all of the interruptions and the rushed feelings, I got the name Tom, whom she said was a very dear friend that had passed away. I got lyrics from the song “Pleasant Valley Sunday” by the Monkees. She said that was one of her all time favorite songs. I got specific lyrics, “I need a change of scenery” to which she said she had just been saying those words that very day and the day before that, “she needed a change or scenery and she wanted to move.” I then got the lyric, “And the kids just don’t understand.” She laughed in amazement and said, “Yes, that makes sense,” but never told me why. She seemed in such a hurry, and I wasn’t really getting anything else so I said, “I think I’ll end my turn now.” She got irritated with me and told me to keep going. So I kept going and it was about 30 seconds of silence when she said, “You keep going, I am going to start connecting.” She started saying all these weird things, sometimes in a different language that sounded satanic. I thought she was American, but I don’t know. She asked if she could have the lights off and I said that was fine. She shut the lights off, it went dark and then suddenly there was a blood red glow coming from her side. I stopped what I was doing and she began to tell me a whole lot of nonsense about people who were supposedly there for me. Absolutely nothing made sense. The more I told her it didn’t, the angrier she became. She told me she ate too much, she is usually very good and she’s been doing readings for ten years. She then told me I needed to try again, but with my eyes open. I told her I just don’t do it that way, but she insisted, so I tried. After a minute or two, I said I think I lost the communicator, I am just not getting anything. That is when she started angrily telling me that spirit never goes away and spirit never stops communicating. I tried to explain that I was new at this and that is when she lost it. She started ranting about how spirit never stops communicating and I have to keep my eyes open to see them and I need to be looking up because that is where they are! Then she said, “I have to go, I have another session!” She closed the zoom link in the same way you might angrily hang up on someone. It was the strangest experience I have had so far and I wondered if she was drunk or something. It seemed like what really set her off was when she found out that I was new and had given her somewhat specific messages (albeit short) and she, after ten years of practice, gave me a whole bunch of nothing.

    So I will end with this, if you would like a short, unusual reading from me, visit my Evidential Mediumship Readings page to find out how. Aren’t you curious about what song they will send you?

  • 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.
