Eve’s Grandma, a Spooky Story

Spooky StuffThis one comes from one of my Home Events and it was one of those when I wondered if the whole evening was for this one person. Almost every one of the 10 guests had a reading, but one of them, Eve, got a doozie.

Eve is a young woman, in her 20s, and was a stranger to me. Earlier in the day, the hostess had had a private reading with me and the name “Gladys” came up. Didn’t mean anything to her, but she reminded me of it at the Home Event. So I mentioned “Gladys” and two guests raised their hands to say that they had a Gladys in the family. One of them was sitting next to Eve and I focused on her first.

“Now that I say ‘Gladys’, I am getting ‘gladiolas’. Does that flower mean anything to you? I am also getting little angels.” I held up my fingers to indicate small angel figures. No, that guest didn’t get those references.

The other Gladys-related guest spoke up. She had an angel reference, but the reading didn’t go anywhere from there… Suddenly, I got the famous image of Gov. Ann Richards in the white leather jacket, sitting on a motorcycle, that was featured on the cover of Texas Monthly some years back.

I said, “I don’t know if this is someone in your family with a reference to this, or if it’s actually Ann Richards, but this is what I am seeing.”

Finally, Eve spoke up. “Okay, I have to say something,” she said hesitantly. “Gladiolas were my grandmother’s favorite flower, she always wore an angel pin, and she had a leather jacket. One time, we were in Luckenbach, and she sat on a motorcycle and said, ‘Look at me!’ She was just like that.”

Now I knew we were onto something. Eve’s grandmother had been trying to come through all day! At that point, her images started flooding in. I had never had such clear communication with a spirit before. Grandmother showed me every material thing she had left to Eve, how many people had split her belongings, even the lace curtains that were in her bedroom that she would have preferred to keep in the family.

One of the more touching moments was when I told Eve that she had something lacy, like a veil, that had belonged to her grandmother that Eve would wear in her wedding. Eve confirmed that her mother has the grandmother’s veil and wore it in her wedding and someday, Eve would too.

The information was coming in so fast I could hardly keep up. And Eve was overwhelmed. Finally, she said through copious tears, “We have to stop. I can’t handle this!” Her grandmother had a few more things before we did finish, and Eve made it through.

As it turned out, Eve had started out as one of the most skeptical people in the room. And she said later that her beloved grandmother had only been gone a year—to the date!

What your favorite color says about you – Orange

OrangeThis is my continuing series about the colors of energy.  The first four paragraphs explain the process, then we’ll get to today’s color.

You may know that I work a lot around the colors of energy.  If you’ve had a reading from me, you know that I give you a “color snapshot” that tells you what color is primary in your life energy at the moment, and then I explain what that means.  Similarly, I read auras (even though I don’t call them that) and I relate what I see in colors, shapes, and location around your physical body.  This all helps me to interpret for you just what you need to know.

I understand and work with color so much that I decided to help you understand it better too.  This is why I have written this series, What Your Favorite Color Says about You.

It’s as the title says; however, I realize that some people don’t have a favorite color, and some people have more than one.  That’s okay.  Here are some ways to determine what color or colors pertain most to you and your life:

  • If you have an actual favorite color, well, there you go.
  • If you have a secondary and tertiary favorite, those will pertain to you too.
  • Look in your closet:  What color/s are most prominent in your wardrobe?
  • What color is your car?  This is applicable even if you did not choose the color of your car, maybe even more so.  I notice that people often wear the color/s that are present in their energy, and that their cars and other  belongings tend to have them too.
  • If you really, really don’t have a favorite or un-favorite or a strong opinion, you’re a rainbow!

Each color has a “light” side and a “shadow” side, or positive and negative.  (Note:  This does NOT mean good and evil!  Everything is useful and there is no devil!  But that’s another story…)  I’ll call them “bright” and “dark” because we describe colors that way.  You may consider the “dark” version of the color to be your un-favorite, but either or both may apply to you.  See how you identify with the following.

This time, our color is orange.  If orange is your favorite color or your un-favorite color (or otherwise present in your life; see above), here are the ideas and values you are concerned about:

Orange overview:  Create, children, sexuality, partnership/marriage, creativity; a lot of school teachers will be “orange” people.

Bright orange:  You are very creative, whether in traditional “crafty” ways or in the way of often having original ideas and/or completing projects with ease.  You may be paternal/maternal toward your own children or others’, or your pets, or everyone.  Marriage and partnerships are important to you and you feel they are worth working on to make them good.  You feel that you have a destiny to create something in this life and leave a positive legacy.  You like to be happy as much as possible, and it bothers you to have a bad day or mood.  You also prefer that everyone gets along, so you may be a peacemaker.

Dark orange:  You have been limited by circumstances from creating what you came here to create.  Marriage/partnerships may elude you and/or be difficult.  The dark side of orange often means that you have multiple romantic relationships that are toxic or just unsatisfying.  Children may be an issue for you, especially if you have fertility problems or if you have children that you have trouble connecting with.  This doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent, it just means that this is an issue for you.  Improve your orange energy by remembering that you did come here to create something(s) important, and that relationships are best when they are interdependent, not when you depend on the other for happiness and fulfillment.

Merrill and the Hamburger Helper

hamburger helperMerrill was in his 20’s when he passed away from complications from AIDS.  During his mother Dee’s reading, he came through easily and we talked quite a bit about his passing, because Dee had some question marks around the timing and the exact events of Merrill’s death.

Then Merrill had something for his sister.  He wouldn’t leave me alone until I told Dee, “Merrill is saying to tell his sister Susan to go ahead and make the Hamburger Helper.”  I explained that he seemed to be teasing and I asked if this meant anything to Dee.

She looked a bit puzzled.  “I don’t think they eat Hamburger Helper, maybe they used to when the kids were little, but I will tell her.”

About a week later, Dee called with the surprising event about “Hamburger Helper”.  It seemed that Susan and her husband were gourmet cooks and enjoyed food as an art more than simple sustenance.  Thus, the idea that Hamburger Helper would enter into their lives was at the very least a little unlikely.

When Dee talked to Susan after her reading with me, she said she felt that Merrill was urging her, “Tell her, Mama, tell her about the Hamburger Helper!”  So Dee gave Susan the message I had given her from her brother.

Susan said, “I have no idea what that means.  We haven’t even had that in the house for years!”

That evening, when Susan arrived home from work, she saw that her husband had been to the grocery store.  Sitting on the counter was a box of—you guessed it—Hamburger Helper!

And Susan’s husband didn’t even know why he had bought it.  “I don’t know, I just saw it and I bought it!”

Happily, Merrill has since become a familiar friend from the Other Side.  When I received a reading from a fellow medium, she said that many people from the Other Side were grateful to me, but there was one young man in particular who expressed gratitude for how I had helped his mother.

Thank you, Merrill!

This time, our color is yellow.  If yellow is your favorite color or your un-favorite color (or otherwise present in your life; see above), here are the ideas and values you are concerned about:

Yellow overview:  intelligence, self-esteem, divine value, anxiety or happiness, figurative “hunger” for knowledge of self, “gut” reactions

Bright yellow:  You have a strong sense of self and an awareness that you are more than the sum of your parts.  You are intelligent, probably more in emotional ways and “common sense” than in terms of scholarship, although that is certainly possible.  You feel like you have a purpose and you have value in your existence.  You like to do work that makes you feel good about yourself, and you like to do other things that do, such as dressing well, driving a nice car, or other things that show you’re a good person.  You are likely to volunteer to help others, especially in areas of literacy and support of schools/students/libraries.

Dark yellow:  You may struggle with low self-esteem and poor self-worth.  It seems like you can never get ahead or that you can’t prove yourself enough.  You may become anxious when it’s “your turn”, when it’s time to prove your mettle or when you have to make a presentation or turn in a report.  You don’t “trust your gut” very well and ignore your instincts and intuition, sometimes looking back and saying, “I KNEW it!  I wish I had listened to my instincts!”  Physically, you may have “tummy trouble”, pancreas issues/diabetes, liver problems, mid-back pain,  and/or a problem with your spleen.  To go back toward the “bright side”, pay better attention to your inner guidance.  Trust yourself, trust life, affirm often, “I have value; I am a child of God” and affirmations like those.

This time, our color is green.  If green is your favorite color or your un-favorite color (or otherwise present in your life; see above), here are the ideas and values you are concerned about:

Green overview:  human-level, conditional, and/or protective love; an effort to be loving; heart; money (although there will be more of this in the bonus colors at the end of the series); contrary to a common phrase, envy isn’t really green!

Bright green:  You are very loving and giving, often to a fault, and you like for others to get along with you and each other.  You forgive easily.  It’s hard for you to understand other people who fight or who hate each other just because they disagree.  (This election must be really hard on you!)  Family and close friends are very important to you and you especially enjoy family meals and get-togethers, like game night.  Personal relationships are generally at the top of your list of priorities.

Dark green:  You may feel as though you are missing something.  You often love people who hurt you, and continue loving them, even though you promise yourself you won’t get hurt in that same way again.  Each hurt creates a little green brick in your wall of protecting your heart.  Physically, you may have any chest-area ailments, either chronic or acute.  What is actually missing is a love of self.  To go back toward the bright side, work on loving yourself first and seek the Divine Love that is within you, the perfect unconditional love that is All That Is.  “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” [Leviticus 19:18, Mark 12:31, etc.]  That means you love yourself FIRST and then love your neighbor with the same high regard.

This time, our color is turquoise. If turquoise is your favorite color or your un-favorite color (or otherwise present in your life; see above), here are the ideas and values you are concerned about:

Turquoise overview:  Destiny, expressing your truth/true self, job/career/s, life path/purpose, some connection with knowledge and education

Bright turquoise:  You love your job!  You enjoy activities that feel like they suit you well.  You tend to find your way and you keep coming back to what you are meant to do.  You have a sense of destiny and you know that you were destined for certain things.  Or you may feel that there is something special and important for you to do, but you haven’t found it yet.  You are likely to be eloquent in your speech and/or writing, and you enjoy philosophical discourse and study.

Dark Turquoise (teal?):  You may have frequent sore throats and/or laryngitis.  This is Spirit’s way of telling you to use your “voice” better.  That means not only speaking, but dressing, writing, and acting the way that your life path intends.  You may struggle to find your purpose, trying instead to fit into society’s mold for you.  To head back to the bright side, ask yourself what you really want, and then listen for the answer.  Try to tell the truth at all times, no matter the situation.  Pay attention to messages in your dreams, as they will lead you toward your destiny.
