Like our muscles, if we don’t use our intuition, it will weaken. I’ve found that the best first step to developing this ability is to pay attention to our surroundings. Here are some actions I’ve found helpful in nurturing my own growth: Learn what sounds, sights and smells are normal in your home What does [...]
I’d like to proclaim that I’m a consistent, enlightened woman. One who never gets angry, impatient or cranky. But if I did, I’d be lying. Perhaps my most frustrating shortcoming is that I seesaw on a regular basis: sometimes I heed the lessons I’ve learned and at others I let my ego take charge and [...]
Thanks to reader Bryce for requesting this topic. While I believe healing occurs when and if the Most Divine decides it will happen, we can prepare ourselves for renewed health. These actions also provide a precious benefit: an increased sense of peace. I’ll probably never know why God waited 18 years to reinvigorate my body. [...]
When I’m at peace, I find each day brings me a small present, one that further boosts my gratitude and infuses additional joy into my routine. It could take the form of someone appreciating my work, or me witnessing a dazzling sunrise, encountering wildlife or laughing heartily with loved ones. Unfortunately, I’m not at peace [...]
Thanks to regular reader Kristin for suggesting this post. Can the acts of creating and inventing be divinely inspired and is it very common? I believe the answer is “yes.” For me, there’s no doubt A Reluctant Spirit’s wording was sent from above to me. As most of you know, I spent a year trying [...]
Repeatedly, readers share stories with me about others denigrating their beliefs—some to the point of condemnation by loved ones and fellow parishioners.

For me, a frustrating aspect of being chronically ill for years was when friends and doctors told me to give up hope that I’d ever get better because I was priming myself for failure. Well, for those who read my blog and have read “A Reluctant Spirit,” you know I had the last laugh on [...]
Thank you to regular reader ElizaBeth for requesting this topic. There are many reasons entities may be visiting us or residing in our earthly realm. Personally, I believe the majority of spirits are not stuck here, but, rather want to spend some time here from time to time. Here are some of the more common [...]
Thank you to regular reader Bernadette for requesting this topic. At one time, I’d thought being a good Christian meant I needed to attend church every Sunday. But when I fell devastatingly ill with chronic fatigue syndrome and post-viral neurasthenia in 1989, I became too weak to attend services. As a result, I increased my [...]
In my years running the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series, I’ve met many people who’ve told me intuitive abilities run in their families. While I ascribe to the belief that we all have some degree of extra sensory perception (ESP), I also think genetics and the environment we grow up in play major roles as [...]
