The Richness of Live Conversation
There are so many ways of communicating now, that picking up the phone to just catch up is the least favored in a typical, working person’s busy day. It takes time, something that is a real commodity. But it’s also a loss. There’s nothing like time invested to get to really understand another person and…

His Little “Hellos”
It’s been a year and a half since my husband passed, and I was afraid I would stop getting signs from him the way I have been getting them up to now. Last night, as I closed my eyes to go to sleep, I mentally asked him not to stop letting me know he’s still…

Emotional Rainbows
It always amazes me how white light breaks down into the entire spectrum of every color, in every hue and shade. It reminds me of people and their full array of emotions. We have our souls’ white lights of pure love, and our physical ego shadow sides that vary in intensity and frequency as we…

A Fragrance of Love
This past Sunday morning, I was thinking about Father’s Day and telling my late husband how much I loved him and missed him. I was feeling very weepy, but reminded myself that his energy, spirit, or consciousness was around me and knew how I felt from the other side. I do feel like Miss Greedy…

When You Know It’s Right
You know how there are times you really work at something, like coming up with the right gift for a friend, shopping for the right outfit for a wedding, or even dating until you meet Mr./Mrs. Right… and nothing is your perfect fit? And so you keep at it, and at it, until you finally…

A Year and a Half Today
I hope someday I won’t still be tallying time…time he’s been gone and how long since we… (fill in the blank.) I know the grief from losing my “54-year person” has had some lessening recently, but the pity parties still happen…just less intense, for shorter periods of time, and less often…thank goodness. Yes, I’ll always…

Chance and Readiness
Louis Pasteur once said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” My late husband used to repeat that quote to all of his students to encourage them to educate themselves so that they’d be ready if lucky opportunities arrived. I have also embraced that thought completely, and I have included it in my book about him and…
