My late husband, Tim, and I, shortly after we fell in love in 1983.
It was PTSD. Except they didn’t call it that back then. They called it “postpartum depression.” With some other “postpartum” problems thrown in. In the 25+ years that have followed, I’ve learned to understand it better, but at the time, all I knew, all my family knew, was that I was very sick.
The baby was 13 months old, and I was feeling a little better. I had weaned myself off of anti-depressants (too soon) a few months earlier, and I had started to dream again and remember my dreams just a few weeks prior.
The return of my dreams was important. And an angel took advantage of my newly-reopened mind to bring me some Big Messages.
In my vision dream, which I now call “my angel dream”, I stepped into (from where?) something like a room, except the walls and the floor had no substance. They were white, sort of like clouds, but solid. They seemed to be made of a soft light that you could walk on. And there was no floating mist, just this soothing whiteness.
A feminine figure approached me from straight ahead. She had dark hair and seemed to be clothed in the same light-material of the walls and floor. She was kind and told me everything was going to be all right. Then, she asked if I would like to see a picture of my family. I eagerly nodded.
Hanging on this non-substance wall was a large, gilt-framed portrait. It featured a slightly-older version of me, sitting in a wingback chair and sporting a Gibson-girl hairdo. There were three daughters in the portrait with me. Maddie, the one who was a baby when I had this dream, appeared to be 9-12 years old. She was standing just behind my left shoulder. A second child appeared to be about 5-8 years old. She was blonde, like Maddie, and stood at my left knee. The third looked to be 4-7 years old, also blonde, and I thought she and the second child might be twins, or they were at least less than two years apart. She stood in front of me. All blonde, all looked alike, and they were clearly my daughters. My husband, Tim, was not in the portrait.
That’s most of what I remember about the dream. Back then, I didn’t know I was psychic, and I didn’t know how to “feel around psychically,” like I do now, asking questions of Source and receiving the answers in various ways.
What I remember most strongly was calling my best friend and saying, “Dude. I think I’m going to be a young widow.” I didn’t know how I knew–it wasn’t just that Tim wasn’t in the portrait. It was a feeling I had, a knowing. I just knew.
And somehow, I knew it would be when Maddie was seven years old. Why seven? Why was this based on HER age and not my husband’s–or mine? These are questions I still do not have answers to.
And what in the world would my husband die of at age 42? The first thought in my head (remember, I didn’t know then about the first thought being the answer) was that it would be a heart attack. But he was going to be only 42 years old! He was healthy! I didn’t think a heart attack was probable or even possible.
I decided, all logicky, that it had to be a car wreck. An image appeared in my mind of his car on the side of I-35 between Austin, where we lived, and San Antonio, where he did indeed die of a heart attack. At age 42, when Maddie was 7.
I had had premonitions before, many times. For example, I knew when I met Tim that I would marry him. But that seems like something a lot of people experience, doesn’t it?
And what about the three daughters? I only have two, as it turned out. Two who made it here alive–there was one in between that I miscarried, and that baby would have been born 11 months before the one who is now my younger daughter, almost like twins…
I know what you’re thinking. Did I tell him? No. I only told my best friend, no one else. For one thing, I didn’t want to believe it, and I didn’t want to “feed” the idea.
When Tim turned 40, I made him get a physical, although he was very rarely sick and felt good. The doctor said what you’d expect: Lose some weight, cut back on the stress, stop smoking, get some exercise. His cholesterol and blood pressure were kind of high.
I lived with this premonition for six years. When Maddie turned 7, I prayed for more time. And maybe I got it–it was six months after her birthday that Tim died. And we got to have some really good last months together, including a trip to Disney World for the family, a gift from Tim’s parents.
The day Tim died, he was packing up and leaving for San Antonio, where he was supposed to teach a class. I was starting to come down with a cold, so I went and kissed him and he just gave me a peck. “Is that all?” I asked, annoyed. “Well, I don’t want to catch whatever you’ve got,” Tim replied. Oh, okay, fair enough.
Standing on the driveway, holding our younger one, waving good-bye, and watching his car disappear down the street, a thought flashed across my mind. “That’s the last time I will see him alive.” I dismissed the thought as that of a worrying wife.
I don’t remember ever asking “WHY?” about Tim’s death. Plenty of grief, yes, oceans of tears, but no questioning. Because I knew it was his destiny–and mine and that of our family. I had been told in a most reassuring way, and I trusted that everything would be all right.
(See my video telling what happened right after Tim died and again after my grandmother died.)

Hokay. So.
I do not want to get into a public fight with another psychic. I just want to tell this story. From what I can tell, this woman is indeed gifted, and she is far more successful than I. She recently presented a blog post that proffered two beliefs that I want to object to:
1) Astrology is BS (in part because the future cannot be accurately foretold, but that is #2) – She admits that she has not studied astrology at all, but finds it impossible to believe that there are only 12 kinds of people in the world and they are all having the same kind of day as the others of their sign. Well, I’ve studied it just a little (I am no expert), and I understand far better than that. I don’t care much for “sun sign astrology”, which is the kind you read in the paper or magazines (or of course, online), because it assumes that you were born with your sun in your first house. But, if you discover what sign your first house really is in, and read the accompanying forecasts, they are pretty accurate.
2) The future cannot be accurately foretold – Now *I* call BS. I haven’t figured the whole thing out yet, but there has to be some destiny mixed in, because I accurately foretell the future ALL THE DANG TIME. Usually for people I don’t even know! I’ve stopped giving “advice” because nobody takes it, so I just tell it like it is: “Yeah, this guy is terrible for you and you should leave him, but you won’t. This will go on for two more years until you meet someone, I believe a woman, with the first name Joyce or Jocelyn, who will help you to see you are worth so much more than this toxic douchebag you are with now. Enjoy the next two years. That will be $50 please.”

Why do people get psychic readings? There are plenty of reasons, and entertainment is NOT #1 among them.
I’ve worked at a number of psychic fairs, and many of the attendees got readings with me and other readers as a one-time deal. Some of them only wanted to spend a little money once in a while to see what the psychic would say. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes a short reading can make a big difference for you, and at the very least, it is entertaining.
But let me tell you about some of the wonderful results my clients have had. Sure, it’s interesting when I can tell you that there’s a scar on your knee and why you have it, even though you’re wearing long pants and there’s no way I could have known that. (Except for being psychic, of course.) But more important to you is the reason why you have that scar. Not because you fell down or had surgery or whatever, but because of your energy and why you attracted such an injury. I tell you exactly what that means to you, so that you can prevent such injuries in the future, by understanding your energy and the ways that Spirit communicates with you.
It’s the old “give a man a fish” proverb: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.” By getting one quick reading, you will get some insight, some new ideas, direction for where you are right now. But if you get regular readings, you’ll be guided through your life regularly. You’ll know what to expect and how to handle it. You’ll learn to attract and create more of what you want.
Another reason for getting regular readings is communicating with your late loved ones. If you are not in tune with your grandmother, for example, it’s possible that a good medium can bring information and guidance from her, too, in addition to the guidance that comes through the psychic from Spirit and your angels and guides.
I gave a reading to a new client not long ago. Her grandmother came through briefly, and I knew that the client was concerned about her. After assuring the client that Granny was just fine on the Other Side, I got a message from the grandmother: She was sorry for yelling. I started to interpret this, because a) on the Other Side, spirits generally have no reason to feel “sorry” and b) I rather doubted, in my very human way, that the grandmother had yelled at her granddaughter. As it turned out, Granny had suffered from Alzheimer’s and had indeed yelled at those she loved most toward the end of her life. This was the most meaningful information the client (and later, her mother) could have received. The client has since become a “regular” at my mystic’s table.
The healing and comfort that come from messages such as this one–“I’m sorry I yelled”–are among the most important services I provide. I was able to tell a woman that what appeared to be terrible physical pain for her uncle had not hurt him as it had appeared. He told her, through me, that the pain medication was effective and, in spite of his appearing to suffer, he was actually resting comfortably. Another woman learned through me that her father, who died unexpectedly and alone, was not afraid when the stroke occurred, only surprised. His wife was suffering in her worry that he had been afraid and she wasn’t there to comfort him, so knowing that he was not afraid was the most healing message she could have received.
Another really effective way of receiving guidance is to participate in group readings. Not every psychic offers these (I do), so you’ll have to find the right one. In groups, the “Group Effect” takes over and ensures that you will get the messages you are meant to get, whether you get a reading or not. It’s important for you to listen to all the readings that are given, because the Universe is very clever this way–you’ll get what you’re meant to get.
I once had the privilege to hear famous TV medium John Edward do his thing live. There were about 350 people in the room, and my daughter and I did not receive a direct reading. But there was one reading in particular that we could have sworn was for us. And there was so much helpful information in all of the readings–I couldn’t help but feel inspired and enlightened.
So what kind of information do my clients get in readings? All kinds of things, whatever is most important to them at that moment. And that’s another reason why they get readings with regularity: things change. Your energy shifts and changes with your thoughts and feelings. Events happen and change and shift. To give you some examples, here’s what I have covered with clients in recent readings: Career/job changes and improvements, relationships, “point of transfer” (this is when you are making a shift or transition), life path and purpose, predictions of good things to come. There’s always something new to discover!
How often is right for you? It varies by person, of course, but most of my clients like to talk to me 3-4 times per year. (My VIP clients get a reading every month.) They all say this keeps them on track, gives them clarity, and helps them make good decisions, as well as keeping them in touch with those on the Other Side.
What about you? What’s in your energy today?

This happens to me all the time. It’s what I do—I’m a medium. So why this one got to me, I don’t really know. But I think the feeling was more “overflow”—joy and wonder—than one of tears or sorrow.
What happened was an everyday occurrence—for me anyway—a mini-reading at a Home Event. The client had about 15 minutes with me, during which time I gave her a lot of info from spirits on the Other Side. One of the images I received was from her son. He showed me a wreath and I thought “Christmas”, but he showed it to me on his head, so I added that maybe it was a laurel wreath? It made me think of St. Lucia. I gestured that this was worn on the head and asked if any of this meant anything. The client wasn’t sure.
Sometimes medium work is like that. I actually never miss, but the clients sometimes do! Really. We call it psychic amnesia, a phenomenon in which the client insists that he’s never heard of this item or symbol or event, only to remember moments or days later that yes, Grandpa did have a double-barrel shotgun over the back door. I have a bunch of stories about that.
But back to my bewreathed man. Several days later, I received a large envelope in the mail. The client had written me a lovely letter, explaining what happened as she reviewed the notes I had given her from her mini-reading. She saw that I had written “wreath – head” and suddenly she got it! She enclosed a copy of a photo of her son, one that is on her refrigerator and seen by her daily, and in it—ta da!—he’s wearing a Christmas wreath on his head.
The client’s story had a lot more to it, such as how the wreath happened to be placed there, and I was so glad to share in her experience. It’s part of what I love about my work, getting to know people and share in their lives.
As I sat there in my car, with the letter and picture in my lap, I started to cry. There weren’t a lot of tears, just some sobbing kind of breaths. I thanked the client’s son for coming through so clearly and in a way that was meaningful to his mother, for allowing me to do this for both of them. And I thanked God/Universe for my gifts.
Then the overflow stopped. It was a very good day.
Post-script: The client later passed away unexpectedly, and I immediately thought of her son and what I imagined would be their joyous reunion on the Other Side. This story and another about “Merrill” is also featured in my book Dead On: Spirited Stories from a Medium’s Diary.

Are you familiar with my Mystic Mail? It’s a way of channeling that I have to answer a question via email. You ask a question, and I call on your angels and guides to answer it. I usually think of it as “taking cosmic dictation”. (For more info on Mystic Mail, click here.)
A recent Mystic Mail was simply fascinating to both me and the client, and I just had to share. Client “D” is someone I’ve worked with for a year or two, but there was a surprise in here that I did not already know about her. It just goes to show you how mysteriously the Universe really does work!
“D” asked me to give her whatever information she needed at that moment–which, by the way, is a great way to do your Mystic Mail. It’s fine to ask about something specific, but often, my clients don’t know what to ask. What follows is our conversation via email:
My channeled message from her angels/guides to “D”:
Hi, “D”, we are feeling conversational, as you are, too. We feel that your conversations are running deep and long. These are good to have at this time. You are gaining so much personal insight from them. Continue them as long as they are available to you. Your opportunities for travel are excellent now. Many conversations come up during travel time. Yes, sometimes, conversations are with yourself–with us. This is excellent. As you move forward, we see you shifting and changing almost daily. Your time of changing is coming to an abrupt end soon, so be sure you have completed all the changes you want to make for a while. This has been very flexible and fluid for some time, for a while now. And now it’s going to settle in. We feel that you will be quite satisfied with all your changes and your settling down. Ahh… it feels good to be you. Relax and enjoy this time of your life. From now to 70 is much smoother sailing that it has been for 13 years. With much love.
*********
“D” responded:
Wow. Very timely, you have no idea. Now, before I say anything more, I want to know what you think of the number 13. Then I’ll tell you something.
*********
Me: I’m so glad! I can’t wait to hear about it.
I am not superstitious about 13. As it relates to you, it feels like a date to me, or date-related, like time or an anniversary of some sort.
In numerology, 13 is a 4, which is a hard work number. If you live in an address that is a 4, for example, you and all the inhabitants of the house will usually be working.
So now… tell me how this is meaningful!
*********
“D” again: It’s exactly what I wanted.
On [this upcoming date], I will come to the end of my 13th year of sobriety. I can’t remember telling you that I had to quit drinking, but it has been quite a ride. In my mind, the number 13 has had this significance. And I’m definitely ready to not struggle and enjoy life!!
What do you think about that??
In her next email, she added: The conversations could have to do with the constant listening to [www.Abraham-Hicks.com] in my commute . . . it could be possible trips to [another city] in the future . . . I just renewed my passport . . . and I’ve had lots of conversations with various business partners as we go through seismic changes.
I’m ready to make a complete shift in my work life. I’m managing a new company which will hopefully get me out of my financial mess and on to better things. I’m ready to ONLY do the things in the business that I enjoy or want to do.
*********

I recently gave a reading to a new client and afterward, she sent me an email:
Hi Susan,
I have a question for you. When you do your readings, you often call on people who have passed on. During my reading no one who has passed on in my family gave any messages. Should I take this personally? Is there a reason why they wouldn’t be interested in talking with me?
Thanks and thank you again for the reading.–A.
Hi, A.–
Great question, and I’m glad you asked. I didn’t go into the reasons that we don’t hear from those on the Other Side, but there are several. Oftentimes, the client (you) is already in touch with those she was closest to, and she doesn’t need me to intervene. Sometimes, the client is too young to have lost anyone, or the client simply isn’t very interested (this one doesn’t always make any difference). And then sometimes, the spirits just aren’t in the mood. Or you’re not supposed to get that particular experience through this particular medium.
It’s definitely not something to take personally. Next time, I can try to call up your loved ones on the Cosmic Phone, if you like.
Oh, and I also feel that what you got yesterday was what was important for you at this time.
I hope that answers your question. Thank you again for getting a reading. I look forward to next time!
