God orchestrates everything in our lives. Last fall, I encountered yet another instance: one that defied all logic. A charming woman (I’ll call her Ada), very well-known among Western U.S. ghost hunters, was recovering in a rehabilitation center from a bad fall. About to be released to her rural home, she sank into depression, worrying [...]
One of the most emotional paranormal experiences I had was the instant I became a Born Again Christian. Ironically, that event led me to a church whose pastor taught that all supernatural occurrences were of Satan. Below is a scene from “A Reluctant Spirit” (which was deleted during my last rewrite) that illustrates the power [...]

When grief grips us, we can be desperate to receive a signal from our loved ones who’ve crossed over. We may think that if we don’t sense anything, they are nowhere around us. But this isn’t necessarily so. A main reason we may be unaware of our dear ones is that they know their presence [...]
I’m not a big fan of séances. I’m sure a lot of it comes from my Christian upbringing, but it’s also because I know some circles are led by inexperienced people. A séance leader needs to be able to control the environment and ensure the safety of its participants. It’s not that I’ve had any [...]
We all have different spiritual purposes. When our daily activities align with our life’s mission, we grow more content and happier. However, it can be difficult to determine how we’re meant to impact the world and make it a better place. Our callings could manifest themselves in our chosen careers, such as working in the [...]
I'm thrilled with Kirkus Review's write-up on my book, A Reluctant Spirit: A True Tale of God, Ghosts and Gut Instincts! Here's all except the book summary part (it gives away the ending, so I'm not including it). "Berry’s intriguing debut memoir suggests that belief in the paranormal, including ghosts and psychic experiences, can be [...]
When I open myself to be a vessel for the divine, I relish the contentment and peace this synergy brings into my life. It’s rewarding when I follow inspiration to write or say something that helps someone get through a difficult day. Those times—when I’m on track with my life’s purpose—are when I feel most [...]
When my post, “My Christianity is as valid as yours” went live, I received cheers of support through every type of electronic communication. Believe me, I sincerely appreciate those communiqués. The problem is that many of my supporters started judging those who were judging me. My intent was not to stir emotions to roil more [...]
Since the moment I decided to write my memoir, I knew I’d eventually have to face angry, zealous Christians. People so convinced of their salvation, they need to tell those who deviate from their beliefs they’re bound for hell. That day arrived last month, just 30 minutes prior to my interview on the nationally syndicated [...]
