Sept. 30 - When Events Happen Smoothly Part 4

We worked with the Case Manager from CCAC for Mom and she suggested "Crisis Mode" to get Mom into the first available home which could take 2 weeks and we could not be picky...we had to take whatever became available (although we could move her later).

Dad had his brain surgery, which I gave permission for as Power of Attorney as he was no longer capable of making decisions. It went well and within a few days he was in a rehab facility. He even agreed to put Mom in a home but we believe he thinks it will be just until he comes out of the hospital.

The papers for Mom's Crisis Placement were submitted on the Friday and the caseworker said she would let us know if she heard anything on Monday. We were entering week 2 of this whole situation.

On the Wednesday, I received a phone call that a bed had become available and Mom could be admitting on the Friday. We did not have much choice and we took it. Mom was admitted on the Friday.

What I found interesting is that the day that Mom came home from the hospital originally, I had a message on my answering machine where a Long-Term Care Facility called the wrong number to book a tour of their home. I called them back to let the girl know that she had called the wrong number and told her that we had just brought my mother home from the hospital and were looking into long-term care. She thought that was kind of spooky and I just thought it was a message from Spirit confirming that Mom would indeed be going into a home.

We learned A LOT of things throughout the 2 weeks - it felt like months! We even managed to straighten out the finances so that we could pay the bills. It only took me running back and forth to the bank and the hospital several times in one day.

A bit of advice for those of you out there...a Power of Attorney is only good when a person is alive but incapable of making decisions. If the person dies, the accounts are frozen and you won't be able to get funds out if necessary. The better idea is to get your name on the account.

Sept. 29 - When Events Happen Smoothly Part 3

Dad seemed to be getting more and more tired - excessively so. He is diabetic so I thought that maybe his sugar was off. I generally phoned daily to check on Mom's status and when I called on the Saturday, the Personal Care Worker told me that she thought something was wrong with Dad. He was sleeping all morning and didn't seem right.

I called my older sister who went over to the house to see what was happening. I would have gone (and eventually did end up going anyway) but my foot was hurting so badly I could barely walk let alone drive.

My sister called the ambulance and Dad was admitted. Tests showed that was bleeding from both sides of his brain and needed immediate brain surgery, which he would not consent to..."I'll think about it" and "Ask me in 2 days" were his responses.

Mom could not be left on her own so me and my 2 sisters had to take turns being at the house. It nearly killed us. We didn't get any sleep because my mother called out at all hours. We were exhausted running between the hospital and sorting out the finances which my father assured us were fine...they weren't.

We took immediate action to get my mother into a home. We didn't know how long Dad would be in the hospital or if he would even come out of it. We were all becoming non-functional taking care of my mother. There were all kinds of signs telling us that the current situation was not going to work like my cat getting sick and needing to go to the vet for care because of the stress of me not being there and she is a cat that requires constant care because of physical problems.

I was supposed to relieve my sister on the Sunday so she could go back to work and my car's engine light came on so I couldn't do that. The cost of running to my parent's was phenomenal - we all live 1 hour driving time from where my parents live.

Anytime we had doubts about following through and putting Mom in a home, something happened to confirm it needed to be done (just a little help from our Guides to ensure we followed through).

Read Part 4 tomorrow.

Sept. 28 - When Events Happen Smoothly Part 2

Within a couple of weeks of the cleansing and protection, my mother woke up one morning and could not get out of bed. Up to that point, she was walking and functioning on her own although she really could not communicate that well.  My father called an ambulance.

The tests in the hospital did not show anything that may have caused the change although they speculated that she may have suffered a mini-stroke. At this point, she stopped walking and talking completely. While in the hospital, she lost a lot of weight and quite frankly we were horrified at the change in her.

On the other hand, Dad started to look great. He was well rested and in very good humour (all things considered). He visited Mom daily at the hospital. Mom was in the hospital for 3 weeks and we tried to get Dad to put her in a home because we knew it was just too much for him. Instead, he maintained his typical "wait and see" attitude.

Mom was put on the "Home First" Program from CCAC, which is a Seniors service that works through the government. She had 8 hours of personal care per day for 3 months. There was a nurse that came to the house and CCAC provided a hospital bed, wheelchair and basically any other supplies. She needed a lot of attention and was now bedridden. She developed a few bedsores, which added to the problem.

Our well-rested father on the other hand ended up getting more and more tired. It was simply too much for him but every time was brought up the subject of getting Mom into a home, it was "wait and see". We believe he simply wanted to stay in his home as opposed to having to move - Dad like many others never liked change but if change is meant to happen, those in Spirit will ensure that circumstances force the change and that change was about to happen - only 1 month after Mom came home from the hospital.

Check in tomorrow for Part 3.

Sept. 27th - When Events Happen Smoothly

I now have more time to reflect on the events of the last few weeks. I am always telling people that one of the ways you know you are on the right path is that things go smoothly. If there are lots of obstacles, there is probably something you need to review or change.

What happened over the last few weeks has shown me that it was all "meant to be". I was told a while ago that my mother would have to be put in a long-term retirement home (she has been diagnosed with Alzheimers and may have had a mini-stroke). My father refused to do that even though he could not take care of her properly. I was also told that things were going to happen for my mother very, very quickly.

I figure that we set the events in motion the day me and my sister went to my parents house and did a cleansing and protection. I knew their home needed it badly. The thought of doing the cleansing and protection kept repeating in my mind so I knew the time to do it was close at hand. There were always things that kept happening to stop us from doing it so I knew it wasn't quite time. Everything finally fell into place and we managed to complete it.

I asked the Spirit Guides how the cleansing and protection would affect my parents and was told that they would have more clarity in terms of their thinking and it would get rid of some negative entities that had been hanging around and influencing them for quite some time. I asked how long it would take before I saw any changes in my parents and was told it would take about a week for the effects of the cleansing to take affect.

About a week later, we (me and my two sisters) noticed that my father seemed to be more energetic and more "chatty". He was also laughing more. He seemed to have lost that "confused" state of mind. So we could definitely see the changes taking place.

My mother on the other hand seemed more confused and lost but if the negative entities that were around her were gone, she would have felt that way.

I wondered what would happen next but had no idea of what would follow...

Part 2 tomorrow

Sept. 26 - Signs that All Would be Well

We went to visit my father while he was in the hospital but before he was going to have his brain surgery. He was lying in the bed with his eyes closed moving his arms about. My sister asked him what he was doing and he answered that he was taking off his coat. She then asked him where he was and he said that he was in McDonalds. He kept moving his feet like he was walking (although he was lying down).

When we left the hospital, we reflected on the visit and I brought up the fact that we should be glad that he did not mention seeing our grandmother or any of his sisters or brothers that had passed over. Had he seen them, we would have had a sign that he was going to get ready to die.

A few weeks earlier, my Auntie Pep was put into the hospital and was telling my father that she was waiting for my Uncle Harold to call her back. As soon as I heard that, I knew she was going to die shortly which she did within about 3 days. People who are going to die often see relatives that has already passed over because they are being prepared for crossing over.

In addition, my sister and I were chatting at night and saying that we should go and speak to my dad in Spirit to give him "what for" for not giving permission for the operation to be done (when they tried to get him to give permission for his surgery he said "no thank you" - he only had the surgery because he became incapable of giving an answer and as Power of Attorney we could say yes to it). When I said that, my sister said she got an immediate picture of his bed being surrounded by a white fence. I took this as a good sign as it meant that there was a protection around him so something was being very carefully controlled.

During his operation I often wondered if he would be okay and my Guides told me, "he will be fine" over and over again.

Little signs that take place can often give you indications of the outcome of certain situations. Having my connection to Spirit really can help in any stressful situation.

Sept. 20 - It's Finally Over - I "FEEL" It

I am feeling absolutely at peace and thrilled! For the first time in 8 years - since I first became ill - I feel it is all over and I will be moving onto the next stage of my life. The next stage is supposed to include love, laughter, and success and the major struggles are supposed to be over. I am soooo looking forward to that.

During the last 8 years, my Guides would often come through and tell me that "it was almost over". That is their form of encouragement - helping me to get through the moment. I knew it wasn't true because I could "feel" that it wasn't. I didn't have the "knowing" that I normally get when something is true or real.

Today, for the first time I "felt" it. There was a sense of peace and a sense of knowing that came over my entire body and I knew, I just knew that it was actually all over. The Guides did not tell me using clairaudience (by speaking to me) - I just knew.

This is my intuition, my Spirit Guides telling me through my body energy that this phase is over and the next phase is about to start. It has been a very long time in coming but eventually, it arrives.

One is never told the path one will have to take to get to the good stuff or how long it will take but having faith will get you there.

Sept. 19 - Humor In Times of Distress

I do love how the Spirit Guides work with a person during times of distress. They help to make things lighter - if you just watch for it and allow yourself to see the funny side of things.

For example, the other night my sister and I were trying to make copies of the Power of Attorney to be sent to my mom's Care Worker. The first couple of copies were too dark for my sister's liking so I said that we can easily make them lighter. We were comparing the original to the last copy that was much darker as I pushed the button to scan the documents. We continued comparing the original to the other copies and chatting about it.

Now remember, we are exhausted. We have had very little sleep and we are trying to deal with my dad's brain surgery and getting my mom into a home. All the things that dad said "would be fine - everything is in order" weren't...which left us with tons of stuff to sort out.

When the copy started printed, it came out blank except for a couple of dark squares. We groaned. Now the scanner wasn't working - what else could go wrong! So I went to check the scanner and when I opened the lid, I discovered we had forgot to put the original back in to be scanned so it was basically scanning the glass.

Both of us starting laughing so hard we were crying and we couldn't speak for several minutes. I swear I nearly peed myself from laughing so hard. I started thinking how tired we were and how we were holding the original and comparing it to a copy but never connected that to the fact we were trying to scan the original (which is quite impossible when you are holding it in your hand). Way too tired to think straight...We finally settled down and tried again.

I noticed mom's Angel Cards sitting on a shelf so I mixed them up and told my sister to choose one. She picked a card and the word on it was "Humor". The message from the Guides was loud and clear! Confirmation that they were there with us and giving us some things to laugh at during this very stressful time.

Sept. 18 - Connection to Spirit When There is a Traumatic Event

It is so important to have a connection to Spirit for those times when you go through traumatic or stressful life events. It becomes even more important if you don't have a life partner for support.

As many of you already know, my father had emergency brain surgery last week. He was caring for my mother who is bedridden with Alzheimers so me and my 2 sisters had to take over. This is no easy feat since we all live 1 hour from my parents home and while I work from home, they both have jobs in an office. In addition, I have a cat that needs daily attention so that affects my time as well.

Those of you who had readings know how it affected my ability to get them out on time and I am still grateful for your patience and understanding.

My connection with Spirit has made things for me easier. I could speak to them as I needed to and they would tell me things if I could know them. For example, when my father was in surgery they kept telling me that he would be fine. Anytime my mind went to "what if" they cut in with "he will be fine."

They have influenced my thoughts throughout this whole ordeal and they have made my experience just a little less stressful. It is a huge bonus to be able to speak to and hear those in Spirit so if you have the desire...LEARN TO DO IT!

Sept. 12 - The Path is Never What You Think

One thing I have learned is that the path rarely turns out the way you think it will. As a matter of fact, you can almost make that a rule to follow. lol

If you think the path is going to go in a certain direction because of what you have been told, you can almost be guaranteed that you are misinterpreting whatever you were told. Why does this happen? I believe it is to really help you to understand the way things work in the Spirit World and to see how messages given can be interpreted in various ways. It can also be to just help you to get to the next step on your path.

Remember, Spirit Guides never lie to you but you can very easily misinterpret what you are told and they will not tell you if you are misinterpreting things. You will discover what the true meaning is soon enough.

The key to it all is to take your messages and write them down and then wait until after the event has played out to see exactly what was meant by what was given. Those are always "aha" moments. Have you had those experiences already?

Sept. 9 - Understanding Messages That Are Repeated

Something that I often hear from clients is that they were given a message years ago and it is repeated over and over again in various readings but they don't see what is being told to them manifesting. This is quite normal.


Spirit Guides will often tell you what you need to know in a reading to keep you going on your path. They tend to also tell you the "good thing" that's meant to happen as opposed to all of the challenges and obstacles you will have to overcome before you get to this "good thing" . If they told you all of the challenges, obstacles that you would be going through and how long it would take before the good thing took place, you would most likely give up.


They continue to repeat the message because the event itself IS going to happen once you have completed what you need to complete on your path. It is meant to give you hope. It is the carrot dangling at the end of the fishing line.

So you want to keep hearing the same message repeated over and over again throughout your readings because that tells you that you are on the right path and that what you desire is going to manifest eventually.

Sept. 8 - Lower Your Expectations

When you start to develop your psychic abilities, you may discover that things don't happen the way you want them to happen. You may expect to have experiences quickly and to become a competent and proficient psychic right away.

Although it is true that anyone can develop his or her abilities and that it is VERY easy to do - it does take time. Your Spirit Guides will never give you more than you can handle. You can expect to have experiences and you can expect to see changes in your development but it will coincide with your level of understanding, your knowledge of how things work in the Spirit World, what you are meant to learn, your life lessons and what is going on in your life.

Basically, you will need to relax and just take one day at a time. You will need to trust that you will get what you need when you need it. Your Spirit Guides KNOW what you need and will give it to you at rate that you can handle.

Lower your expectations of what you think you should be experiencing or knowing and your path will be easier.

Sept. 7 - A Point of Realization

When you have a realization, your thoughts actually become a part of your energy. You start to live what you believe all of the time.  A realization changes your life or perspective on life.


For example, when you are developing your abilities, you may have experiences where you are speaking to Spirit. You talk to them, you ask them questions, you chat about nothing, you listen to what they have to say. You may tell your friends that you are talking to your Guides and Teachers but you have doubts about whether it is real or not.


This can go on for quite a period of time and then one day, it hits you – you really BELIEVE and KNOW that you are communicating with those in Spirit. It is a realization, a knowing, something that you feel to your very core and a belief is born and becomes part of your belief system. Those moments are precious and they are "aha" moments. It changes your life.


It works the same way when you are learning a life lesson. You can practice a new way of dealing with people or thinking but that won't change your life in a big way. However, once you practice that way of living for a period of time it will become a true realization and understanding that changes your energy. It is at that point that you will truly start to see major changes in your life taking place.

Sept. 6 - Knowing You’re Never Alone

Saying or telling others that you are never alone and KNOWING and LIVING like you are never alone are two very different things.  I know I am never alone because I speak to those in Spirit all of the time. It is a part of my belief system. I live my belief.

Those in Spirit are there when I need to speak to them and they are there when I don’t want to speak to them. They give me advice when I need it and quite often don’t give me advice when I want it. They also help me to work out my life issues which makes life so much easier.

The problems or issues would be there anyway but speaking to someone in Spirit who is truly a friend when a problem rears its ugly head makes life so much easier. 

Yes, it is a lot of work to develop your abilities so that you can speak to and hear Spirit whenever you want to or need to, but it is attainable and it changes your life dramatically. It is actually very easy to do in terms of technique but it does take time and effort.

Sept. 5 - Manifesting What You Desire

I have found that since I have almost finished learning the most challenging lessons of my life, that things that I want or desire are manifesting more quickly. I understand that regardless of what you believe or what you do, if you are not meant to have something then you won't manifest it. You can change your attitude, visualize or send it out to the universe but your Spirit Guides control WHEN and IF you are allowed something in your life. It depends on your life path and your lessons.


For example, I ask why I can't have an abundance of money in my life and they say, "If you had that, what would you do with it?" I say, pay all my debts and move. Then they say, "and that's why you can't have it". What I would do with it would change or alter my planned life path.


That doesn't mean you stop working towards your goals (unless your intuition tells you to), it just means you need to lower your expectations - especially when it comes to timing. Just know that when the time is right, those things you have been told are possible - will take place.

Sept. 2 - They Save Me Time and Frustration!

One of the ways that Guides remind you of things can be quite useful. For example, yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and Zehr (grocery store). There was something specific that I wanted in each store (the reason I was going there) and then there was something I was interested in...more of a research or general interest frame of mind.


When I got to Wal-Mart, I went on my search for my general interest item (a massage ball) which I did not find. I was so focused that I forgot about why I actually went there. I was walking out of the store - a couple of steps from the exit door when I heard the one word reminder from my Guides. I just turned around and went to get what I actually needed.


I then went to the grocery store and once again looked for my general interest item which I did not find so once again I headed out the door. I was actually on the outside of the store when I head "buns" and I thought, "Oh my God, thank goodness you guys are reminding me. I would have been really pissed off if I had driven all the way home and forgotten the 2 items that I needed to actually get."


So because of their reminders, I picked up what I needed and eliminated the frustration that I would have gone through had I not been given those reminders. When my mind is so preoccupied with others things, I am so grateful for their input!


Listen for the reminders from your Guides. You will know it is them when you are not thinking of anything in particular and that thought just comes into your head. It is not you. If you develop your skill and sensitivity to energies, you will FEEL the difference.

Sept. 1 - Avatar: Who's More Advanced - Earth or Pandora?

This question has come into my mind quite often...which is the more advanced planet...Earth or Pandora from the movie Avatar? I can't decide.


At first glance, I was tempted to say Pandora because of the very spiritual way of living and believing but then I thought how very easy it is to live their type of believe system when they have proof all around them. With every step they take, they see the ground glow with energy. They tap into animals, birds, plant, trees and feel the connection and communicate quite easily with Spirit. It pretty easy to live that way when you see it, feel it, have proof of it and everyone knows it too.


However, there is a good argument that Earth was more advanced because on Earth, you must live a life on faith and without the "proof" of  seeing the energy bonds and feeling the connections when you "hook up" to something.


So in terms of Spiritual Development...would you go to Pandora to learn about energy connections and Spirit and then go to Earth to put what you have learned into practice with all of the obstacles that come with that path? Or would you go to Earth first to build your faith and understanding and then get a reward by going to Pandora?


Leave your comment...I'd really be interested to know how you all see it.
