St. Augustine once said, “Make friends with angels.” He recommended that we make personal relationships with angels and let them deepen, just as we would with any other important relationship. And like your other relationships, asking the angels for help when you need it is part of the deal. Asking an angel for help is …

A Prayer for Malaysian Flight 370
Like most of us, I’ve been caught up in this mystery surrounding Malaysian Air Flight 370. In our hyperconnected world, it seems incomprehensible that a jumbo jet could simply disappear without a trace. There’s plenty of speculation on what may or may not have happened – that will be for the experts to determine. Some …
My Field Guide to the Other Side
Kinda excited this morning. I got up, fed the kitties, grabbed some coffee and logged on to see that my new book was uploaded to Amazon overnight! This was one of those “aha” moments; over my time as a reader, I’ve gotten the same 25-30 questions hundreds of times. Each. So I decided to share …
What to Do When You’re Broken
In the last few weeks, several friends and clients have been hit hard. The sudden loss of a sister who was far too young. Major surgery which a father did not survive. Job loss and financial panic. January has well and truly sucked, let’s just say it. I ran into one of these people at …
Boo! Some Thoughts On Ghosts
Last night, I was still in a food coma from Thanksgiving and all its leftovers, so I found myself on the couch watching a marathon of one of those ghost/haunting shows. Things flying through the air, funky smells, noises, apparitions, lots of screaming people. Made me happy for my quiet little un-haunted house. But it …
Spiritual Lessons from Netflix
You know those binge viewing sessions you go on from time to time? Like when I watched all three seasons of Downton Abbey in one weekend (my ass still hasn’t quite woken up from that marathon)? Well, when you’re needing a shot of something spiritual on a rainy weekend, here are my picks. MADE IN …
Spirit Guides, Angels and Your Nana
“Is my dead grandmother/father/beagle my guardian angel?” I get this question a lot during a session. And the answer is… Kinda sorta. Basically, we have three kinds of spirit entities around us: spirit guides, angels and those who’ve crossed over. At different times, and in different ways, they are there for us. Let me break …
Being “Cracked Open” to Spirit
I was having breakfast at my local diner yesterday. It’s the kind of place where everyone pretty much knows everyone — and the hostess, “L,” knows I’m an intuitive. So as I worked on a short stack, she sat with me and asked why she’s all of a sudden started seeing the spirits of her …
Grow Some Magic: Planting A Spiritual Garden
Winter has had a white-knuckled grip on us this year, hasn’t it? My sister in Minneapolis reports more snow….in mid-April. But here in New Jersey, I can FINALLY see things starting to pop up and I’m making my list of magical plants to add to my garden this year. Lavender is one of my favorite …
Angels: They’re Not Just for Christmas Anymore
This time of year there are angels everywhere: in malls, on Christmas cards, hanging from my neighbor’s roof — you name it. I like the ones at Rockefeller Center myself: We tend to focus on the one angel who brought the news of Jesus’s birth – and that would be Archangel Gabriel. Now I know …
