I have a tendency to be too hard on myself, especially when it comes to my faith. I’ve thought that if I’m a good Christian, I shouldn’t get sad and certainly not cry. I saw both as signs of spiritual weakness. After all, God is in control and taking care of me. I need to [...]
Seeking clues to the afterlife leads many to ghost hunting Once I experienced unexplained activity, I caught glimpses of what awaits us once we leave this physical realm. What energies have taught me about life after death: Spirits interact with each other; they don’t exist in a vacuum. It’s not unusual to gather EVPs or [...]
Last month I had blood drawn to determine the cause of some recent persistent health issues. During the 10-day wait for results (I’m happy to say they came back negative), I faced a tiny possibility that I could have a rare cancer, one with a fatal prognosis of six months.

And, the reason it did, was that even though they’d only been in my life for six months, they provided me with valuable guidance and friendship during a difficult time. These people had left an indelible [...]
See the first half of this post. Here’s an example from my life: Initially, I decided to write a novel very closely based on what I endured that night at the Goldfield Hotel. I never considered presenting it as nonfiction. I hold my privacy dear, so it wasn’t an option. For a year, I wrote [...]
“If you are finding closed doors, it is the universe telling you there is a better way to go. Don’t keep pushing against closed doors; look around for the open ones.” Sanaya Roman in Personal Power through Awareness Have you ever found yourself bogged down, struggling to move forward with an idea, a life plan [...]
