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).

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 [...]
Matthew 7:1 Do not judge or you too will be judged. Unless you attend the same church and share similar backgrounds, chances are your version of Christianity is different from your neighbor’s. I believe this is what God intended since he created us as individuals and not clones. Christianity has a distinguished history of diverse [...]

“Life’s toughest lessons unravel truths we hold dear: beliefs we’ve glommed onto since childhood when we built our worlds upon the logic of others and claimed it as our own.” I thought of this original beginning of my book as I listened to Shelly*, a writing peer. “I grew up in a very strict religious [...]
