Mother's Day: Celebrating Moms Alive or Passed

Happy mother's day to all the moms!  That includes moms of human, canine, feline, etc. Hope you enjoy the day. For those who lost a mom, we have some advice to make it a good day.

CELEBRATING THE DAY - Yesterday we took my partner's mom out for a mother's day lunch because the crowds in restaurants today are out of control. We had a great lunch at a restaurant which was a hidden gem in a golf course clubhouse Apparently, not many thought of it, and it was really good. Those are the kinds of places that make lunches more memorable. 

FIRST YEAR WITHOUT MY MOM - LIKE BEING OUT-OF-STATE-     This is the first Mother's day without my mom, and several friends have mentioned how difficult it may be - well, because of my gift to talk to my mom and understand
my mom
messages from her- it's really not. That may sound somewhat cold, but it's not. My mom has lived 400 miles away in another state for 25 years. That's a long time... and it's like she's still living in another state. That's how everyone who lost their mom should think of them. Your mother will always be a part of you. They helped raise you (well good moms do). You've learned habits and talents from them. You repeat their expressions when you talk. You treat others the way you learned from mom. You may or may not clean your house the way she did.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT -    What's important is that when our moms pass away in physical form, their spirit still comes back from time to time. If you don't recognize the signs, then pick up my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" and learn what they are. Don't sit at home and pout. Your mom on the other side would say, "cut it out!" Go enjoy mother's day. If not for you, then go out in the world and do something good for someone and say it's in my name."

So, enjoy mother's day and don't dwell on the fact your mom may have passed. She's still around. Think of her as living in another state and you can't drive up there to see her. She can hear you. Just let her know you love her, and remember that she wants you to do something to enjoy YOUR day and even honor her if you wish.

Amazing Day at the Hope and Healing Conference!

Recently, my friend and medium Troy C. and I got to give a talk at the "Hope and Healing Conference in Annapolis, Md. We met a lot of wonderful people and many times when I would point out a way that spirit communicates through signs that they're around, people would raise their hand and tell me that's exactly what happened to them.

Rob and Troy after the conference
It was a conference for parents who lost their children. We spoke about "How to Recognize Signs from Loved Ones Who Passed" based on my books.   
SPIRIT USING CELL PHONES:  I think there were about 5 people that raised their hands after I mentioned spirits will sometimes use  telephones or cell phones. They all proceeded to tell me that their late daughter or son called them !  They all said that their child's number came up on their phone when they knew that the phone number had been disconnected. Amazing what spirits can do!

BUTTERFLIES, BIRDS, ETC. - I talked about how butterflies and birds can be signs from loved ones, and several of the people acknowledged they started seeing certain ones after their child passed. One woman said that her grandmother always had goldfinches in her yard. The woman however, said she had never had one goldfinch in her yard until after her grandmother passed away. She immediately knew those goldfinches were sent over by her grandmother's spirit! 
After our talk we spotted this license plate

2 AMAZING CONFIRMATIONS - Before I arrived I received signs from a young man who said he died in a car accident after driving down a neighborhood street at night. I was also given names and car type (although I'm not good with identifying cars). A young woman came through so strongly and it turned out it was two young women - both of whom passed of bleeding on the brain. That's what I told the folks in the workshop, and it matched up with two people in the room, whose daughters passed that way. 

TROY THE HEALER -  Troy provided a lot of healing to a certain group of people in the audience, too. He gave them messages that suicide victims had crossed over, and helped one cross over in the room, who had been attached to her mother! Troy's dad is in the ministry and Troy called his dad the night before the conference and they blessed a "prayer cloth." It is intended to bring peace and healing. He handed them out to the 30 people we had in our 2 workshops.
- I think I can speak for Troy and say that we felt that we gave people comfort, hope and knowledge that their loved ones are still with them from time to time. We also taught them how to look for signs and what the signs were.
    Being at the conference was truly one of the best places that we could ever be to share comfort and provide hope to anyone that lost a loved one. It was also amazing to see how many people wanted to know more about pets in the afterlife, too. (I didn't have enough of those books with me!).
 We really feel as if we made a positive difference in the healing of hearts this weekend, and that's a good feeling!

Signs from a Dog Spirit Named Sahara: Part 2: Game Playing

 Last week I wrote about an email I received from Deborah, whose dog named Sahara passed and keeps sending her coins to let her know that Sahara is still around her. This week, Deborah shared another way that Sahara communicated- by playing a game she loved to play when in the physical plane.

Sahara
I outlined in my book Pets and the Afterlife all of the ways that dogs can communicate with us, and dropping coins and playing the games they played when alive are just two of them. For info on the book:  PETS AND THE AFTERLIFE: The loss of a pet is like the loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side.    Available in paperback and E-book, on Amazon.com and other outlets at: To order paperback of Kindle- click here
 
DEBORAH WROTE: 
Rob,   I remembered a couple of things I wanted to share with you: First, Sahara and I used to play "Find it" where I would toss or hide cookies and she would find them - I think that she does this with the coins for me! I think that is why they come in multiples. She didn't really carry a lot of things in her mouth at once, but she would scout around for lots of cookies.
    When I found the five dimes, there was a tennis ball on top of the first one which I instantly saw and went over to it thinking of Sahara (her favorite toy.) The tennis ball was upstairs on a dining patio where she used to like to sniff for obvious reasons. When I went to pick it up, there was a dime beneath it and then I discovered the others one by one which were all under chairs belonging to the same table and within a few feet of the tennis ball.
    By the way, I have found a penny each day since I wrote (4 days), but only one of those days was in the parking spot and I found two pennies that day! ;)


**TO HONOR SAHARA, Deb created a website called "Sahara's Sandbar" at http://saharassandbar.com/ . On the website you'll find some great customized services and products that will reinforce your "pet connection."

***SO, keep your eyes out for signs from your pet. Whatever they learned here, they've taken to the other side and that's what they'll use to communicate with you and let you know they're still around.- Same thing with human spirits! **

Signs from a Dog Spirit Named Sahara PART 1: Coins

   I just released my new book called Pets and the Afterlife, and I've been receiving some great questions about how pets communicate.     
   One email was from Deborah who asked about how her dog Sahara could make coins appear before her. Deborah also was kind enough  to provide me with photos of her dog Sahara, and a very, very moving video (below).
*******************
Sahara
DEBORAH WROTE: Question: Can you tell me how she can do this?
  My dog (who was my soulmate) recently passed in January, 2013. In this one particular parking spot where we used to park to go for a walk, I find coins. It started one day as I was thinking about Sahara and how when we parked, I would open the back, etc.... I looked down and there was a dime. That was last June. Since then, I have found about 15 or so coins at different times (mostly pennies and dimes) in the same exact parking spot (I've also found about 30 other coins in other places plus 24 pennies at one time - not when I was looking). I will often find a cluster of coins: once I found 5 dimes and I have found a few pennies with a nickle and dime and also I sat one day, picked up a stick and dug up a quarter.

   I notice that I find the parking spot coins 'on demand' sometimes - I want to connect and I'll ask her to please send me a coin. I will kick over leaves and stand around for about 5 minutes. Suddenly, I will notice a coin, either I turn around and it is on the curb or I look around and it just appears. The most I have gone without seeing a coin in the parking spot was 2 months. The coins are usually in alignment with where I would sit in the car; in other words, not willy nilly, but I can count on them being on the left side of the spot and about 1 foot from the line. I have found 3 coins (dime/nickel/penny) in the same exact spot on 3 consecutive days. The third day, I went back again because I couldn't believe what was happening and asked Sahara if it was really her - After a few minutes, I spotted a dime behind me, sitting on top of the leaves.
   Rob, I know it is her; I am closer to her than to anyone else in my whole life, but ...
My question: Can you tell me how she can do this? Does it take a lot of energy?


MY RESPONSE: What a great story of communication!  Yes, those coins are signs from Sahara (sorry about your loss).  Dogs, like humans have the ability to move things from place to place (that's an "apport") using energy.
  - There are a lot of energies that can empower them do that. Spirits use the emotional energy of love that we share with them in addition to physical energies like light, heat, movement and water energy. It takes some effort for a spirit to do that, but I get the sense that Sahara is VERY attached to you, and liked carrying multiple things/toys/etc. in her mouth sometimes, which is why you may get five coins at a time. Of course, she also wants to be noticed. She's saying "I'm still here with you, mom!"
-  Obviously Sahara knew you had coins when she was in physical form ... so because they're the smallest, lightest (and likely most shiny -which dogs love) object she remembers you having, she chooses to send them to you.  The proof that you asked her to send you one and then found one after is all you need!  So,please  acknowledge that Sahara is there everytime you find a coin. She's tagging along with you, and maybe even riding in the front seat!


  DEBORAH REPLIED:   I want every guardian to know that they ARE here with us after we physically say goodbye. It's so important that people be reassured so they can feel uplifted and begin to communicate with their pets in their own way.  Thank you many times!

VIDEO HONORING SAHARA:  Goodbye Sahara. The life of a dog. A beautiful soul who lost her leg due to bone cancer became a reading therapy dog for kids. This tripawd lived on another five whole years to a ripe old age of 13 (and a half) due to her courage and spirit. She was an amazing three-legged dog who always was the center of attention and quite happy to entertain. Goodbye Sahara. Return to wholeness with peace and freedom, and visit me often in dreams.
