Alarming and Suspicious
Last night the whole-house security alarm suddenly started blaring, which always rattles me even when it turns out to be nothing dangerous. It’s loud! The control box voice said the smoke alarm and the heat alarm both had low batteries, and they started chirping at the same time setting off the house alarm. That triggered…

Scammed and Violated
I will never forget the moment I discovered that the hours of remote repair with the Geek Squad was not the Geek Squad after all! The “bad guys” are very clever with how they do perfect simulations of companies to deceive us, and they are getting better. I thought I was savy, checking websites and…

Happy Is Healthy

The studies look for correlations in the lifestyles and habits of the those who live their lives in those places and found movement (exercise, walking stairs, etc.)and connections with others to be two important factors. These people are definitely…

Jack’s Spirit Knows
As I have shared before, I connect with my late husband, Jack, through my medium Gail (gailandspirit.com). This last reading was amazing. I described one of the messages in the blog post in which Jack sent Gail an image of an Elvis singing tearjerker from my night before to validate he was with me, The…

Happy Birthday Wishes
We enjoy wishing people a happy birthday on the day they were born, but people aren’t sure if they should acknowledge that day once a person passes away. Some have said they didn’t want me to think they’ve forgotten about my late husband. Others have said they didn’t want to bring it up and remind…

Zoomed in to Book Club
Last night I joined a book club discussion about my book, You Don’t Know Jack!; How Antics from My Late Husband’s Spirit Give Undeniable Evidence of Afterlife. I was so excited to share information about the book’s inspiration, the writing process, the message of the book, the publishing process, and all that has happened since.…
