Laughter for Jack
Today is my late husband’s birthday. He was a funny guy as I describe in my book about his antics from the otherside, and I can just imagine him being an entertainer in Heaven, too! He was a large presence in any gathering, with wit that brought everyone together. He was very principled, as well…

Human Contact Rx
Last week I met with a group of seniors and we discussed how important it was for all of us to feel human connection and how healthy it feels. This morning, I saw the Artemis II crew in a triumphant hug on Facebook! It looked so warm, celebratory, and bonding. And this afternoon, I welcomed…

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Other Side
What a delightful day yesterday, February 14th, turned out to be after all. I miss my late husband very much and usually fear the sadness that comes now with those happy holidays we used to share. I have to remind myself that he’s there with me in spirit which can only comfort me so much.…

A “Spirited” Joker
Today I was playing Canasta with a group of women and the subject of my book came up, You Don’t Know Jack! How Antics from My Late Husband’s Spirit Give Undeniable Evidence of Afterlife. I simply explained that my late husband had told me he would send me signs from the other side if he…

A Letter of Love
Recently, I was asked to write a letter to be sealed up in a time capsule for a new born baby in my family. Knowing it would be a couple of decades from now before he’d open it as an adult, I figured the letter could be one of love and best wishes and/or advice…

Positivity & Release for ’26!

Four-Year Angelversary
My husband, Jack, passed away four years ago today, and, in order not to have a hard day of sadness, I said a prayer last night asking Jack to help me to have a happy day. I set my intention to try to focus, not on his death, but on our 54 years of loving…

A Small Group of Souls
Recently, I’ve been volunteering at an independent living facility and feeling the great connection with them in a way I never expected. It all started with wanting to help the elderly remember happy memories and write them down into a collection. I thought they’d love to accumulate a memoir-like folder so they would have it…

A Summer Solstice Sign
It’s definitely a record-breaking heat dome hitting right now with real-feels over a hundred. The cool dry spring and all my favoritie gardenia blossoms are long since done blooming just ahead of Mother’s Day… except this year. On Father’s Day this year (last weekend), there was a single, unexplainable gardenia on the gardenia bush. It…
