Today I am giving you a very special gift. I am printing for you the personal permission slip you were given when you entered this lifetime. It says: “In this moment and now and forever you are granted the unending right to be and express that very special, unique, unusual individual you were born to be.” Now I must ask you: Are you willing to use that right?

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, you are not like any other person on this earth or possibly any other life form in the cosmos. It is your own individuality that is your gift. You are special and important. I applaud all your differences.

Somewhere deep inside you lives a power filled urging to carve your own path, to pull away from whatever anyone else thinks you should or ought to do. Your soul pushes you to express your uniqueness, to take chances by acting on your wildest ideas.

Oh, yes, you may have goals and objectives that are similar to the ideas of others, but your way of accomplishment will never be the same. Your methods will not be identical to those of anyone else. You were born to shine in your own way. None of you are clones.

Why is this so important? Because by acknowledging your unique desires and abilities you are shedding the inhibiting guidelines you have absorbed or inherited from family, friends or coworkers. This letting go of past instructions will allow you to finally fully actuate the life that your soul intended from your birth. By projecting the truth of who you are into your life, you may lose a friend or two but I promise you will attract others who see and appreciate the light and love that you are.

Going along with mass thought, following the majority or the crowd will not make you happy. It is not only O.K. to use the road less traveled, the belief system less used, it is necessary. Each of you must carve your own path by following the urging of your heart. When you feel joy pour over you like a warm shower you are pursuing exactly what you need to do regardless of anyone else’s opinion or reaction.

Because you are individual, one of a kind, there is no single plan, no one way for gaining those experiences and that education for which you came to earth, for which you incarnated to be here at this particular time in the planet’s evolution. “One size” does not now and never will “fit all”.

Do you have day dreams or night visions that tug at your heart, dreams that beg you to follow them? Do not let them get away for lack of your attention. Write down your desires. Maybe you feel they are impossible or impractical but do not let them get away.

If your dreams are important enough to stir your soul, imagination and emotion, they are important enough to keep. Those dreams can be Spirit’s way of giving you directions, allowing you to attain resonance with your soul. What does not work today may well work tomorrow. Just acknowledging the desires of your heart can magnetize your personal energy to draw others to help you. Writing those heartfelt desires in a journal brings them energy and life.

As a psychic, I offer Dream Work as well as Intuitive

Development classes from time to time. I design all of those classes to be as much fun and games as possible simply because people seem to learn much faster in that kind of format. Why study dreams? Why push toward intuitive development? Because if you become more aware of the inner essence or truth of what is happening within you and around you, you can make more life affirming choices.

I believe too many of us go through life holding back our words and thoughts for fear of offending someone with our beliefs or saying something too “far out.” Much to my daughter’s embarrassment, I have a habit of striking up a conversation about anything most anywhere. One night when we were entertaining I asked our guests “Have any of you ever seen a U.F.O.?” I could almost feel my daughter sink into the carpet. But that question started a very lively and interesting conversation.

Let me tell you about my trip to Walmart the other day. This story has nothing to do with guides, angels and masters or even the meaning of life but here it is anyway. I had just walked in the back door of Walmart when I noticed this little curly haired older lady with an empty shopping cart. She was leaning just a bit on a small cane. Without meaning to I began to laugh so hard I nearly turned inside out.

Naturally she turned to look at me. I touched her lightly on one shoulder and said “I just can’t help it. I got the funniest idea in my mind that I was going to grab your cart and run down the aisle with you chasing me. I would never do such a thing and I can’t imagine why I even thought it! I must be tired to get so silly.” By that time we were both laughing till people began to stare. She said, “Worse than that, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you!”

I like to think that both of us felt a little lighter after all that fun. I smile every time I think about it. We tend to take everything in life so seriously that once in a while we just need a little comic relief.

To some degree all of us are the product of those “rights and wrongs” we learned in childhood. Our parents with their beliefs and understanding did the best they could to guide us but as adults we need to look carefully at those early rules and judgments that may no longer serve us. We need to acknowledge something as basic as it is alright to talk to strangers.

In still another realm of influence we may be tempted to “fall in line” with our friends or co-workers ideas of what is right for us when what we really need is to learn to listen to our soul’s directions.

To illustrate our tendency to do the so called right or expected thing, let me tell you about my cat Festus. I had just moved with my adopted alley cat, Festus, to a new home in Austin, Texas. I was worried that he would become disoriented in the neighborhood so I bought a little harness and attached him with a chain on the patio under the shade of the roof. I intended to keep him tied for maybe three days until he could understand that this was his new home.

All went well for a couple of days. I kept him fed, watered and shaded. Then on day number three I came out to pet him and there was no Festus, just a harness and a chain. I immediately started searching the neighborhood and spotted him a few blocks down the street. When I called to him he ran the opposite direction. I thought that was the end of that.

However, when I got back to the house there he was, sitting right beside his harness and chain pretending he was still attached. How smart are animals? I have to wonder though if his behavior wasn’t akin to something we do. We break away from some of the old learned behaviors that no longer fit and then, out of comfort or familiarity, we go right back.

Perhaps unconsciously, we feel the need to conform to the patterns that our family or friends have created for us. Most folks have a tendency to resist change. Those people we are close to may be more content with their perceptions of us if we are willing to be predictable. They may be happier if what they have decided to be true about us remains static. In many cases, they prefer it if we will stay in the little identity box they have created for us.

Is it any wonder that we tend to have communication challenges with our relationships when we understand things so differently? Working with your own intuition, sharpening your inner awareness can be a communication tool and blessing. Strengthened intuition absolutely will improve your understanding of others in your life, but equally important, it will help you to understand your own actions and motivations.

I am reminded of one of the Carlos Castaneda books. In it his mentor and teacher, Don Juan, tells Carlos, “You must lose your personal history.” Carlos says he can’t do that. He has earned this degree, he has had this experience. But Don Juan insists, telling him he has to be who he is today, this minute.

I believe that is what each of us must do. Yes, our past has brought us to this day, our current level of understanding, but we cannot live from or in the past. We need to be the new “this minute” us, this “now” us with all our new ideas, understanding and concepts.  It is definitely o.k. to be different! It is right that you and only you should select your current path and ideas.

Embrace change. Welcome it in your life. It is only through change that you can move forward. Look at your own life from a different point of view. Ask yourself questions! Who or what is center stage in your life today? Is there reciprocity in this situation or are you bleeding away all your energy. Does this activity or relationship fill you with joy or emptiness?

Sometimes that which was on center stage in your life needs to be loved from a distance or moved to the curb!

Each of you has a soul that is always prompting you to move forward, to accomplish. It urges you from your heart to be as much as you can be, to use your special gifts and talents.

Listen to that warm, urging heart emotion. If you are able to perceive that heart and soul wisdom with greater understanding and give it your full attention, you will find the way to access a more fulfilling joy and flow in your life.

How can you know if you are on your LIFE PATH? I have the question so many times in my work as a counselor. Fortunately, you have been given the measuring stick or tool to use for just such a question. When the path your are on, the work you are doing is so much a part of you that minutes and hours spent in that endeavor mean nothing, you have found it. When you never bother to look at a clock because you are doing what you love, you are on your path. When your heart sings and your spirit soars, you have found IT!

Being your authentic self, finding your way to your special destination may not happen in an instant. No matter how long it takes, your dedication to the journey will be an inspiration to others. Each step along the way is a learning experience.

Develop the gifts and the talents that you have. Work with those occupations or goals that draw you in and will not let you go. No one person can decide for you what your life is about. Not your closest friend, not your parents, not your spouse can ever know the intimate details of what makes you special.

Be proud of your individuality and make the best use of it. You are important to this earth and all of her inhabitants. No one can make the contribution you came here to make. Believe in yourself and step forward with confidence.

I am always ready to help you with any of your life challenges and questions. Call today for your private counseling appointment. I welcome you to my Sarasota, Florida studio or to a telephone session. In either case I will give you a cassette tape of your reading for your later review. Be sure to ask about chakra clearings with sound, color and crystals and private intuitive development lessons.

Yes, here comes February with all its’ valentine hearts, flowers, chocolates and cupids arrows! No one will deny the rush of pleasure that comes with “falling in love”. We seem to crave that lighter than air feeling, being lifted above the ordinary. However love has much greater scope and dimension than mere romance. Love has unsurpassed range and grandeur! Love used in its purest form is incredibly powerful, capable of transcending all difficulties and truly far reaching and infinite.

Thankfully inside each one of you is an enormous, limitless supply of miracle producing, unconditional, open-hearted love. Unfortunately the truth is that many of us seem to have locked love away through fear of loss or perhaps because of various very personal disappointments of the past. The good news is that love is still there within each one of you, available, vital and ready to go to work in your life.

As a clairvoyant psychic, when I work with clients to clear and activate their chakras, I see that marvelous love energy swirling    in the area of the heart chakra as well as in that area that is sometimes referred to as the “high heart” chakra or thymus chakra. The “high heart” chakra is the energy wheel located between the physical heart and the throat.

The love in those two spinning energy centers may be sluggish or partial dormant but it is still there and fully capable of going to work for you in your life. I suggest you start activating that energy with your mind and thoughts.

If you are a visual person I would ask you to see your love’s energy blooming and shining forth lotus-like in luminous green blending upward into a soft pink. If you prefer to understand the heart chakras as a sound vibration it would be the musical tone “F”.

Acknowledge your vast capability of loving and continue to amplify that energy at the chakra level. When you feel as full of love as you can imagine, how should you use that energy?  Use it by beginning at once to love yourself exactly as you are right now with all your bumps and bruises of personality and seeming imperfections of body.

See your love energy touching every nerve and cell in your physical body. Remember also not to use any critical words against yourself—“if only I had said nothing…” or “I shouldn’t have…” or “I am just so silly and stupid”!

Instead of hurtful thoughts try some self love complements like these —“I do my very best every day,” “I am thankful for all my creative ideas”, and of course: “Wow! I did that just right.” Your body, mind and emotions will thank you for this love bath offered from your heart.

I promise you that your love will come forward with zest each time you are nonjudgmental and compassionate with yourself and others. It shines when you gift a stranger on the street with your smile. Your love blooms when you help a friend who is temporarily lost on his path. Just a beautiful positive thought sent out to someone who is troubled is love in action. No love thought or deed is ever wasted. Be assured the more love you use, the more you will have.

Whatever thought or daydream that you entertain be certain it comes from your heart and your love. There is always time to rationalize or work exclusively from the mental realm but no better time than now to come from a platform of love. Communication never seems to be simple but if you take the extra step to be sure that every word you write or speak comes from your heart, you will always be clearly understood.

Why concern yourself with opening to love? Quite simply because love is life’s most positive and powerful force. Most of you would welcome some sort of change or improvement in your life experiences. So if there is any situation in your life today that causes you unhappiness or distress, try love. Give your personal love and the love you draw from Spirit a chance to prove itself Love will heal any emotional, mental and physical discomfort. Love activates the natural healing ability of anyone who will accept its’ energy.

Perhaps you have been told or read: “Live by the wisdom of Love.” “Speak from the heart.” “Be kind.” “Do no harm.” “Step aside from the negativity of all judgment.” “Hear yourself and others, not with your mind, but with love from your heart.” “Be the radiant energy of pure Love.” “Forgive, forgive, forgive.”

All of these suggestions are good ones, but where are the directions to attain this life lived by Love? How can we open our hearts to that great an extent? Where should we begin? How can we become that pure heart essence and still live and work every day in a sometimes harsh human environment with all its conflicting demands?

If you will begin by putting aside judgment, you will lose all the unnecessary and exhausting dramas of life. In other words, simply allow other people and situations to be as they are without the need to comment or “fix” them.

Through this simple act of allowing, the triggers that might have sent you into conflict will no longer engage you. They will not affect you. Instead, you will be led to use genuine loving communication from your heart. The high Spirit will speak from your heart and soul.

The time to begin any change, large or small, is always now. Today is the day to express love. Today is the day to forgive yourself and others. Today is the day to start with a clean slate and a new more loving heart.

Listening to the unadulterated true spirit of your heart is a life long journey of love exploration. It is a commitment to enormous and fulfilling change. When anyone dares to live by love, beautiful changes are inevitable. New relationships, new careers, creative ideas arrive just for the accepting.

We are here in human form on this earth for the purpose of growth, growth of mind, emotion and spirit. The most direct route to accessing our own potential is the embracing and expressing of our personal love nature. We must open our hearts to our true divine self and the true divine self of others.

Every thought we think, every emotion we feel, every word we speak creates a ripple of energy. When those thoughts, emotions and words issue from pure love we become the light for ourselves, for others and for the planet.

I encourage you today to make a pact with yourself to express as much as you can of your true love nature, your personal heart wisdom, in every situation you encounter. By simply being heart aware, you will know love’s solutions, love’s answers.

Whether you are alone with your thoughts, speaking with friends, working with others or meeting strangers, BE THE LOVE YOU WERE BORN TO BE! I assure you, there is nothing more satisfying than expressing your own heart’s spirit of love and wisdom.

Using your love’s radiant energy will bring great abundance in all its many forms into your life. Love when combined with gratitude will literally magnetize your personal energy to attract every good situation into your life.

If it is a relationship you think, dream or imagine for yourself, it will be there. If it is money or a better home or transportation you envision and intend, those will come.  Just keep loving, never stop and never doubt its’ power.

By using your love moment to moment you will be transformed spiritually and physically enlivened. You will become the best gift this earth could ever want.

It was just two weeks ago this coming Sunday through an unexpected invitation I found myself teaching one of my favorite workshops on the east coast of Florida. That workshop that I offer from time to time is my introduction to extra sensory development, just a taste of the way or path to psychic development.

As usual I brought boxes of “tools” with me that I use to keep the focus of attendees. I set up my easel and flip chart. All was going according to plan as we worked our way through the exercises both mental and physical. I spoke of my own early and sometimes laughable experiences with spirits and apparitions.

Then something unusual happened. I flipped to the next illustration on the chart. It was a simple outline of a heart. In the center of the heart in rose colored crayon was the word JOY. One woman jumped up from her chair and said “I like that!

I do love effusive people. Her energy was a real boost to most everyone. Hers was certainly a positive exclamation but not the end of the reactions to the drawing of the heart and “Joy” from the rest of the class.

No one else commented aloud regarding the particular drawing but it was the varied energies the others were emitting that surprised me. There were a few nods of agreement and then…

With some of the students there seemed to be a distrust of the word itself as if it contained some sort of threat perhaps could not be accepted or counted on to be positive. One of the participants actually recoiled as if in fear. Is it possible that someone could be afraid of going beyond being surface happy, of accessing joy in depth? If that were so what could be the reason?

To figure out this puzzle I began considering where joy comes from, where it originates. Certainly joy is more than mere pleasure. It has a depth beyond pleasure. The deep upwelling emotion of joy resonates throughout the body and mind. I dare          say true joy is a soul promoted emotion.

Perhaps it comes and goes quickly or only occasionally as we move through our lives. But to truly live joy each day every day one would have to have a deep sense of gratitude not only for his own life but for every person and situation in his life.

How could that thankfulness or gratitude be brought forward? Can we create it at will?

It is certain that life is full of changes and surprises, some pleasant, some not so pleasant. Could it be that you and I are capable of making a conscious decision to be thankful for all our varied situations, people and events? Could we suspend ego-led judgment long enough to be thankful for all our experiences whether filled with tears or laughter? And if we stuck by that mental decision to be grateful in all things could we perhaps invite more joy into our hearts and lives?

At that point in my analyzing I began to realize that Joy and Unconditional Love were inseparable. They are two halves of one thing. If Joy were accessed one would have to be at least at that moment in a state of loving and accepting everything and everyone just as they are. That state of being in unconditional love and acceptance might be all too brief but it would seem that it naturally coexists at the moment when Joy is flooding the heart.

To go a step further is it possible then that the only healing tool we would ever need is found in being unconditionally loving and accepting of ourselves and others? Could love filled joy be the one medicine that would take away any of our distress or disease?

That idea brought me right back to the person in my class that appeared to be literally afraid of Joy. Now I know from experience that some people will cling to their illnesses because that particular disease or condition is providing some sort of benefit in their lives.

The discomfort may be giving them the attention they crave from another person. Holding on to that distress may be their reason for not attempting some task that they do not want to pursue. Whatever the reason for not accepting their own healing, they continuing to hold on to that ailment because it provides what they, on some level of consciousness, believe is necessary in their lives.

Following that reasoning, if Joy were to be a part of their daily living, the disease that has been their rock, their saving grace, their focal point might be taken away. Loosing that kind of stability, however questionable the logic, would certainly be reason enough to fear the dynamic healing arrival of Joy coupled with the unconditional love of self and others.

There is of course another possibility. Perhaps the real fear is that the beautiful flooding of Joy into and from the heart is all too temporary. Perhaps the fear is that when that Joy is not present or seems inaccessible the emotions and stability will go into free fall.

From time to time we all suffer through the ups and downs of emotion but we do not live in fear of a total downward spiral just because life does not conform to our idea of perfect. Most of us have learned the real benefits of keep our “sunny side up”. Good thoughts, good emotions, bring good results.

My response to the thought that Joy is too temporary is to suggest that each of us begin at once to carve a reliable path to Joy. I suggest we find a way to access or create Joy in our lives. For instance, we all need the feeling and knowledge that our lives are supported by Spirit. Because that is true let us begin to reassure ourselves daily that we are made of the divine Light and Love of Spirit. Reinforce our own worthiness throughout the day.

Cause yourself to become aware, to feel that Light and Love lifting you, guiding you from one moment to the next. Remind yourself daily that you are Light, you are Love. Do this and thankfulness, love and all pervasive Joy will become your way of life.

The original question I asked myself was “Is Joy your birthright?” I can now say I believe that it is but like any gift or talent or ability Joy has to be accepted, appreciated and above all used. Joy is that state of expanding love and acceptance. Accessing the Joy that is naturally yours will change your life and the lives of all those whom you touch.

My personal joy is found in helping others to fully actuate their lives. My pleasure comes from seeing my clients successfully pursue the life path of their design. If I can help you with any life questions or directions call or e-mail me, Reverend Lois Cheney for your private clairvoyant reading.

I now offer individually designed and personalized one-on-one intuitive development lessons. All work is completely confidential and you will have a cassette recording of your counseling session for your later review.

Do you have one or two books that are your favorites, books that through the years have become like old friends? If you do you will understand how I feel about one particular book in my library.

In years past I have read my special book cover to cover. Now from time to time I pick it up and simply open it to any random page or chapter to see how those words and ideas might apply to my life today.

The book I am referencing is “Living in Balance” by Joel and Michelle Levey. I do not remember how it came into my hands about six or seven years ago. All I know for sure is that I treasure it. It is dog eared and well underlined not by me but by the previous reader. Nearly every page has hand drawn stars and notes in the margin placed there by an unknown reader.

I decided a week or so ago that considering the condition of the book perhaps I should buy a new copy for my book collection and give the old one to someone who might appreciate it as I have. I ordered a fresh copy from Amazon and soon it arrived at my door.

Although the new book was a hardback book rather than paper, in every other way it was identical. It contained the same number of pages, the same words, sentences and chapters, even the publication date was the same 1998. The only apparent difference was that it was free of notes, stars and underlining.

The new book did not attract me. I wasn’t drawn to it. Since other than being in pristine condition this new book was the same collection of words and ideas, why did I refuse to pick it up and read it? It took me awhile to realize the underlying difference.

The former book owner or reader, whoever he or she was, had filled that first copy of mine with loving appreciative energy. It was as if I had not only owned a book full of wisdom but a true treasure filled with a second confirming opinion.

The new book simply had not been imbued with that same intensely warm energy. It felt like a poor copy rather than an original.

Why am I telling you this little story? The reason is that I have observed many times you and I can be motivated by strong energies that we are not consciously aware of. We don’t recognize the source of the energies and mistakenly assume they are ours.

As we move through our days mindfulness or a deeper awareness of the moment can help us to act upon and inculcate only the personally appropriate energies.

My thought is this: All of us can benefit greatly by accessing and amplifying our natural intuitive abilities. If we care enough to work with our own extra sensory perceptions, we will make wiser choices.

If we will take the time to look below the surface of any relationship or occurrence we can become users of more appropriate action as opposed to users of automatic and sometimes erroneous reaction. You know that when we quickly and spontaneously react we are usually allowing someone or some situation to control us.

I believe that most people who seriously approach the amplification of their own intuitive or psychic abilities are looking for a surer pathway to access the wisdom of their own high self, guides and teachers. The pursuit of your own God given perceptions can only lead you to a smoother more accomplished flow of life.

Do not limit yourself by using only the rational approach to daily living. Why should you take such a limited way when all the highest information is available to you? Your guides, your teachers and your angels are continually standing by awaiting your call.

I urge you to contact your guides, masters, teachers and angels. Contact them often with your concerns, your questions, your plans. Above all contact them with gratitude, with genuine thankfulness. That inner energy of gratitude is not for their benefit but for yours.

When you approach anything with an attitude of thankfulness, gratitude for everything in your life, all doors swing wide for you. Your good comes rushing in to meet you.

When you seek the bigger picture, the deeper understanding, your life path will widen and expand. In response to your efforts the Light comes on and brightens both metaphorically and energetically. Your own unique way of spiritual growth and service unfolds.

I am Reverend Lois Cheney your Sarasota Florida Psychic Medium. I encourage you to call for your private counseling appointment. All your questions are important and can be answered with the help of your personal guides and teachers. If you would like messages from departed loved ones, as a medium I will be happy to bring those to you.

All readings are completely confidential. You will be given a cassette recording of your session for later review. You can come to my Florida studio or your reading is available and equally accurate by telephone.

You want to manifest your highest desires. Spirit is longing to express itself through you. You invite your heart and soul wisdom for input. You earnestly try to send the right kind and amount of energy. You expect results. All of that is a good thing.

The one difficulty with expectations is that you sometimes become very fixed in what you insist upon for an outcome. In being so exacting in the form of your intentions and their timing, you can block a much better, more satisfying result.

Spirit knows the most beneficial form of your creation and the optimum timing of its arrival. When you do not allow flexibility in either form or timing you may lose the best result.

Nothing that any of us plan to do, no action that we take, can be accomplished in a vacuum. In other words every action we initiate has a ripple effect. Each result we create with our intentions and our energy touches others in some way.

If you can be more open to variations in your desired creation, you will allow the highest and best not only for yourself but for those people who will be blessed by your manifestation as well.

As separate as each of us may feel from time to time, the truth is we are not alone. We are irrevocably joined with the earth and all life. This joining is the reason we need to ask always for “this or something better to bless all those concerned.” Or as the Buddhists might say “intend no harm”.

You have incarnated here on earth at a highly energized time. It is a time of great volatility but also great progress. Your life path is vitally important as you work with all other light workers to energize this period of ascension. You like all of us deeply desire to fulfill your personal purpose as well as your cosmic one.

If I can help you in any way to access your life goals through the channeling of your personal guides and teachers, call for your private appointment. All reading sessions are completely confidential and will be recorded for you. I will meet with you either in my Florida studio or by telephone.

The same old Spirit? Yes and no. The same Spirit but seemingly completely new when viewed through the eyes of over 100 windows of sparkling Light.

Those windows of Light I am referencing were the fantastic souls in attendance at the 24th Dowsing and Healing Conference held for five days at the end of April in Fayetteville Arkansas. It has taken me two weeks to really digest all of the inspiration I received there.

It never fails to amaze me that after 30 some years of teaching, lecturing and counseling I always find a new thought and a new way. Even one of my “usual workshops” takes on a new energy and direction as I lecture to different groups.

What surprised me the most at the convention was to find an extraordinary number of my personal soul group among the attendees. It makes me wonder: How far ahead of time did we collaborate in the silence to make this meeting happen?

I am extraordinarily grateful to the Ozark Research Institute founders, Gladys and Harold McCoy, and their many helpers for the year long effort it requires to sponsor the convention.

On the surface each presenter at the convention came from a completely different point of view. The truth is they were all simply pointing their own unique way of accessing the Light of Spirit and soul path for which we continually yearn.

Individual channeling of Spirit energy was the thrust of every presentation. Regardless of whether the class concerned the “72 Names of God”, “Spoon Bending”, “Treasure Mapping”, “Dreams”, “Energetic Healing” or “Life Path”, the focus remained on accessing and using Spirit-Soul guidance and energy.

I am grateful for every client who sought my private counseling while I was in Fayetteville. I feel blessed to be allowed to help each of them. Every reading I offer amplifies my own abilities to uplift and enlighten others.

It is always amazing to me how many roads there are to the same destination— creation of the soul’s learning and progress! I think at this particular time in earth’s evolution we are all feeling a greater pressure to actuate our lives to the fullest. Our overriding desire is to fully encompass our Spirit in this human body. We want to know with certainty that we are doing the work we came here to do.

Every “clue” that we can gather to point us in the direction of our greatest life fulfillment is valuable. We are each endowed with an abundance of personal talent and creativity. It is up to each of us to bring our uniqueness forward in a way that will bless not only ourselves and the people we touch but our living earth as well.

Where does your personal road lead? Are you here to work with the plant or animal kingdom? Did you come to teach other Light Bearers through your personal gifts and understanding? Is offering peace and non-judgment your path? What is your unique way to bring the Light of Spirit, the I Am Presence to the earth and her people at this time?

I am here in my Florida studio to help you with any of your life challenges. I offer you a confidential reading appointment in my Florida counseling room or by telephone. In either case, I will give you a tape recording of your session for your later review in the privacy of your home.

It is my joy to help by channeling the guidance of your personal guides and masters. The messages of recurring dreams can be deciphered for you. In addition, I am able to bring you information from your loved ones in spirit if you desire.

Words are wonderful tools. Words create pictures and feelings for us whether they are written or spoken. But there is a significant problem with offering words: each of us understands their meanings in a slightly different way.

Don’t get me wrong I love words, language. I am particularly enamored with any sort of dictionary or encyclopedia. However, just lately I have begun to realize how vastly different individual interpretation and understanding of words can be.

In my recent workshop for the Ozark Research Institute, I handed out envelopes to each of the 30 plus participants. These particular envelopes contained no words at all just similar photographs. The pictures of various flowers which I placed in the envelopes were truly beautiful ones taken by my daughter.

The students were advised just to hold the envelopes for a period of time without opening them. Later each told the class what vibrations they had felt or sensed from the envelopes. Even though the contents of those envelopes were similar, each one of the students felt something different. No one was wrong even though no one expressed the word “flower”.

It was obvious even with a highly detailed photograph and no written words as a distraction, individual impressions are different. Each member of the class came from a somewhat different background, had encountered different experiences and consequently each was impressed with a completely different aspect of their personal envelope.

Some felt earth or dirt. One who had the photo of the parrot tulips quite accurately saw a deep purple color. Another simply felt water. One detected pulsing life. And one of the students who had the picture of white lilies saw the color red which I believe was simply the life energy of the flowers.

But I can honestly say no one was wrong. They simply understood things in a different way, were attracted to realities of the photos from their own unique perspective.

In my work as a counselor a great percentage of the problems that clients bring to me are those which exist in their relationships. These difficulties are apparently very similar in nature whether the relationships with which they are involved are intimate, spousal, family, friendship or workforce related. These problems all have a major component of either misunderstanding or total lack of accurate communication.

If our goal is to communicate with each other from the wisdom of our indwelling Spirit, then that communication has to carry more depth than mere words. We need to begin speaking or writing from our intuitive vibration. We need to choose our words as well as our accompanying emotional wave length with great care.

The most ignored principle of good communication is the first one. If we want to be heard we must first listen to the other person and we must listen with love. When we can hear with our hearts, there is a much better opportunity to gain understanding and make an appropriate reply.

Unfortunately, many times we are so busy framing a response to someone’s ideas that we really are not hearing them at all. We have heard this or that similar situation before and think we have the right answer. Often we do not if simply because their situation is not exactly the same as any other problem or challenge.

If you can bring the energy of love’s wisdom, the deep understanding that exists in your heart and soul to all your interactions with others, you will begin to evolve any relationship.

Whether you are speaking to loved ones, friends or strangers, learning to use your highest spirit-inspired words will enable you to move forward with grace. You will lift and inspire all those around you.

My Buddhist friend tells me that it is an affront to Spirit to ever take offense at another’s words or actions. Why? Because if we are offended, we have judged. We believe that the words were an attack against our ego, our self image. We have taken the position that we are entitled to say that the person was “wrong”. We have decided that we have the right to be “hurt”.

We have all heard: “don’t take anything personally” “It’s not about you, it’s them.” Sometimes that is not so easy. If we practice taking the high road in our associations with others, allowing others to be who they are, as they are, life becomes much more pleasant. We can begin to learn instead of suffering.

I am not suggesting that we toss out our ability to intelligently discriminate in our relationships. We need to know when we are moving down a path that will not be for our best good.

If we have exhausted all our best ideas of verbal interaction with anyone and find ourselves at an impasse, it may be necessary to love someone from a distance. It may be necessary to move that person off the center stage of our life up to the balcony or even out to the curb.

We cannot force all relationships to work the way we wish. The most we can do is to give more inner attention to the way we speak and write. If we will do that we will encounter less resistance to our communication with others.

The workshop I offered at the recent conference in Arkansas brought me great joy as I witnessed the enthusiasm of the students. I had opportunities to counsel with many of those who attended. If I can be of help to you with any of your questions or life challenges, simply call or e-mail for your personal appointment. I can meet you in my Florida studio or work with you over the telephone. In either case I will give you a complete recording of your private session.

Did you ever wonder why you are attracted to one person and not another? Or did you ever puzzle over why you feel you know someone, while you realize full well that you do not?

There can be many surface reasons for that sort of attraction. That person could simply dress in a way that is familiar and pleasing to you. Perhaps something in their demeanor or general appearance reminds you of someone of your acquaintances. That woman or man, girl or boy, could simply have a winning smile.

Every once in a while I get what amounts to almost a compulsion to speak to a stranger in a store or on the beach. It is not as if I have anything really important to say but rather I want that momentary connection no matter how temporary. In other words our energies call to each other and I feel the need to respond.

“Beautiful weather.” “What a lovely little dog. How old is he?” “Is there a sandwich shop nearby?” You get the general idea. It is just casual chatter but it feels right.

What is that energy draw? Why does it happen? One explanation is your past life associations. This individual may seem familiar because you have shared past life relationships. Especially those times that were tumultuous or unhappy in the past can exude an exceptionally strong pull.

That pull can present an underlying desire for completion or perhaps to “do it better” this time around. Again, it can be just the need to say “Hello again. I recognize you.” After all, most of us have had multiple lives and many times multiple lives with the same cooperating soul of another.

The need to touch someone energetically with your words can also come from the heartfelt knowledge that they are a member of your own soul group. Each of us was born of a particular soul group. Those spirit family connections are difficult to ignore. We always feel those “family ties”.

My feeling is this: whatever the reason, when you feel a desire to initiate a conversation with anyone, go for it! It is impossible to say which “sidewalk friendship” or grocery store exchange of words with a stranger could be the one to give you an unanticipated benefit.

Imagine, from that chance encounter there could be just a word, a thought, or a whole concept that would propel you forward. It could be the one conversation that would inspire you to a fuller exploration of your personal life path. It might be that idea that would help you find your personal passion and joy.

I urge you to engage fully with your life. DON’T HOLD BACK WITH YOUR LIGHT OR YOUR LOVE. Each one of you has so many special talents and creative abilities. You are an original. You are unique. You are precious. Your days are valuable.

Use every day, every hour, with enthusiasm and intention. You will be a blessing to our earth and every living thing.

You have within you the deep desire to be all that you can be. You yearn to actuate your life. Let me help you with any of your personal questions or challenges. Make your appointment with me for your personal and completely private psychic counseling.

I can work with you over the telephone or in my Florida studio. In either case you will receive a tape cassette of your reading for your later review.

How much joy do you have in your life? How much room will you make for joy in your life? What brings you joy?

Many times when I am counseling with clients I will ask them to make a “happy list”: “I am happy when I…” Writing the list, making it solid on paper, is hopefully giving them a view of the positive aspects of their life. In truth, the happy list is just one small step toward identifying what brings them to a state of pure joy.

Why would I want them to identify joy in their lives? Joy is much greater than mere happiness. It is an elevated effervescent energy than emanates from the heart. When joy is in control of you, you also have accessed a state of unconditional love and gratitude.

The combination of Joy, Love and Gratitude is absolutely power filled.

Real joy allows you to see the source of everything and everyone as Spirit. When you are afloat in the heavenly aspects of joy, when you allow yourself to see from that higher perspective, your soul shines!

At that moment of intense joy, your soul is offering you deep understanding and seemingly miraculous possibilities.

In the experience of joy, heart and soul wisdom is always completely available. You are receptive to the highest and best information and direction without any coloring or disruption from ego.

If you know that hosting increased amounts of joy in your life will bring you greater ability to see and access your own perfect path, are you willing to deliberately entertain more joy? Will you decide to make more time for joy by eliminating time spent in useless worry and fretting?

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING “FRIVOLOUS” ABOUT JOY! It is an important part of living and experiencing. It deserves to be cultivated and allowed to flow freely in your life.

Decide today, to look for whatever brings you to that elevated energy of joy. Find it. Repeat it. Increase its’ presence until it becomes a strong energy muscle in your life. The rewards will show themselves by illuminating your own higher purpose and understanding.

Your life path and purpose are important. My work is helping you to identify ways of actuating your very best life now. Call me today for a confidential reading appointment or to learn about my private intuitive lessons.

Daydreams, we all have them. Throughout our waking day our minds wander the landscape of possibilities. We daydream about glorious escapes to faraway places. We imagine frightening outcomes to real-world situations currently affecting our lives. We think about winning the lottery and see all the following excitement with the media.

It is true that our minds rarely give us a rest. It does not seem to matter what we are doing, if that activity fails to require our full attention, we are daydreaming. In the middle of driving the car or riding the bicycle, we still daydream. I suspect this “automatic piloting” has caused more than one accident.

I believe that learning to control our daydreams can be of great benefit. Corrected daydreaming can do much more than prevent accidents! Why is this so?

Think of this: YOUR DAYDREAM CARRIES POTENT CREATIVE ENERGY! As you repeat a particular daydream over and over again, you are sending that energy directly to your subconscious which always obeys.

Your subconscious does not question whether your daydream is good or bad. It simply sets about to bring your feelings and your ideas to life! Considering the content of your personal daydreams, you can readily believe that this manifested scenario is sometimes a very good thing and sometimes the worst of things.

If you will take responsibility for the content of your daydreams, you will put yourself in charge of more positive outcomes. You no longer will allow yourself the luxury of imagining the worst, those wakeful “nightmares,” but instead will begin envisioning only the happiest and most fruitful pictures. You will begin to see outcomes that are of real benefit to yourself and any others who may be involved.

After all, you are creating your life one minute at a time! Just as your repeated spoken or written words will create after their kind, so your repeated daydreams will bring the effects of mind and imagination to you and your experience. Remember: when any particular daydream carries strong emotion, it becomes even more likely to manifest and appear in your life.

Each time you become aware that you are in the midst of a daydream, ask yourself if this particular experience is what you truly desire. If it is what you can enjoy and appreciate, by all means add more energy to it. If it would only bring pain and unhappiness to you, make a change immediately!

YOU ARE IN CONTROL! You are in charge of your every thought and feeling if you will decide to take the reins! Seeing only happy outcomes may seem like fabrication or lies at first but it is the very best kind of programming. It is up to you to become a joyous programmer of your own life and experience.

If you are looking to make changes in your life or if you would appreciate some additional progress with your spiritual growth, call me for a psychic consultation. I can help you by accessing your guides and teachers to answer any of your questions.

If you have any unresolved issues with loved ones who have passed, I am able to contact their spirits for you. You will be given a complete recording of your session with me for your later review. All appointments are completely confidential.
