A few weeks back, a man who I’ve found scary and perpetually angry approached us. Instead of becoming frightened and intimidated like I usually do when we encounter him, I used the technique I wrote about below in 2012. And, for the first time, he was not only civil, but he was friendly. Why, oh [...]
The recent deaths of two people I knew many years ago hit me much harder than I would’ve expected. 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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been studying Christian mysticism to better understand my spiritual path and prepare for a class I’m teaching on “God, Ghosts and the Afterlife” in October at Truckee Meadows Community College. Through this exploration, I’m discovering that I didn’t become a mystic after my transformational Goldfield Hotel experience. Rather, my life’s journey to seek out [...]
Just like I once disbelieved in ghosts, I never believed in guardian angels. It seemed too nice to have an ethereal being watching out for me. After all, why would I warrant this kind of blessing from God? But as with my other views regarding the spirit world, this one crumbled shortly after my night [...]
See my post on the signs of dream visitations. Here are the first of the stories so many of you have shared with me. Thank you to Jessica, Julie, Bryon and Joyce for sharing their experiences. I’ve edited for length and clarity to try to preserve their voice. Julie and her father My father passed [...]
When someone you care about who’s passed over appears in one of your dreams, it’s a singular experience, one that fills you with love and gives you another piece of the Afterlife puzzle. In the past 15 years, I’ve been fortunate to receive two distinct visitation dreams. Through my experience and researching others’ experiences, I’ve [...]
Recently, I returned from a vacation in the woods of Alberta, Canada. While I didn’t bring back souvenirs, I brought home something more substantial—another triumph over the disease that wracked my body for almost two decades.
