Editor Shock
It’s a funny thing when you write a book and you first receive back the suggestions from the develpmental editor. It feels like criticism of your creative product…”your baby.” It’s as if they commented about moving their nose to the top of their head and suggest that one eye should be on the chin. Your…

The Heart Jiggle
Whenever something happens on my computer that I can’t explain, I start sharing it with others to see if they can. This time was no different. I’ve told my story to several people, and, so far, nothing seems to serve as a logical explanation. Here’s what happened, and you can decide. I made a post…

It’s a Big Deal…Till It’s Not
I know someone who’s had cancer, open heart surgery, 17 other surgeries and several major losses in her life, but has more excitement and enthusiasm for life than most people I know! When her challenges are compared to most of us, it reminds me to count my blessings. And yet, I understand how we can…

Feeling Lucky
I was talking with a friend the other day about how many people that I knew having so many problems recently, adding to the people I knew that had such angry involvement in politics and other controversial issues. So much negative emotion seems to fill the airways and consume conversations. Most days, I feel drawn…

The Red Flower
Sometimes unexplained things happen, and, as I said in my last post, it’s up to me to find the positive and feel the gratitude. A few days ago, when I opened my front door, I could see a red flower sitting on the path to my mailbox. Now there are no red flowers blooming in…

Shift in Perception
For the last year and a half, my late husband has sent electric and electronic signs with lights, the thermostat, my computer, etc. and, at first, I get all upset that something else is broken again, and I’ll have to fix or replace it. After the service guy comes, or the Geek Squad gives it…

You Don’t Know Jack!
My book cover is done, and I love it! My book is now suddenly becoming really real with a final cover, even though we have a way to go to bring it into a printed form to hold in the hand. That will happen on 12/12/23, the same date as my husband’s passing in 2021.…

Divine Collaboration
I was talking with my publisher, Lucie, and learning how the process will unfold to get my manuscript into a book with our message for others about continued consciousness in the afterlife. And it is “our” message since my husband has had an unbelievable amount of input and push ever since he passed. I know…

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…
