A Sign from My Mom While on Vacation!

A literal sign from my Mom

Today's blog is about how spirits give signs anywhere and anytime to let us know they're with us. As someone who has been able to get messages from people and pets who have passed on, it's important to share stories of loved ones who communicate. As I've written in my books, it's all about paying attention.
  In May, I took a vacation on a Viking River Cruise up the Danube River. We had to dock in the city of EngleHartszell, Austria instead of going all the way north to our last stop of Passau, Germany. That's because heavy rainfall had caused the Danube River to rise, making it impossible for the cruise ship to go underneath a bridge that spanned the river. If the ship could have gone under the bridge, we would have been able to dock in Passau instead.

Norma, Rob's mom

  So, to get to our last stop from Englehartszell, Austria, we boarded a bus and proceeded north on Route 130. Route 130 ran parallel to the Danube River. Just before we got to the bridge that crossed the river into old Passau, Germany, we entered the newer part of Passau, and on the lefthand side of the bus was a huge red sign that simply said "Norma."
   That's my mother's name. My mother was Italian (she passed in 2013), and I never thought I would see her name in Germany!  I sensed my mom and dad were around me, and this time they wanted to give me an actual sign as a sign!
   When I got home, I looked up "Norma in Passau, Germany" and learned that it is a supermarket. The actual supermarket sign we passed is located at Kapuzinerstraße 42, 94032 Passau, Germany.
    It's always good to know that Mom and Dad are around and still watching over me.

ABOUT SoGoodBakedGoods:

I have a home baking business of custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies both human and pet friendly  that I started about 3 years ago. Mostly so I could stay home with my english bulldog Orville, he was my sidekick in the kitchen with every creation I made. When Orville passed away in March, my kitchen wasn't the same, I struggled to create edible art like I did. In my time of grief, I stumbled upon Rob Gutro who mentioned "Orville wants you to create a special baked cookie in his name, because he helped in the kitchen" It was than Orville Organic Grain Free Dog cookies were made. Making Orville Cookies are about spreading love to other dogs, Orville loved love and it truly feels like he is here with me when I make them.

Ed's Spirit Sends a Sign of Approval! (read my new book "Kindred Spirits")

If you haven't read my new book "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriends a Spirit" then you may
not know about Ed, a spirit whom I befriended after getting continual messages over the last 14 years. Our story is in that book - and we never met in life.
   The book was just published in July and I've been doing several interviews about the book since then. Each time, Ed is always standing behind me listening and telling me what to talk about. He's pretty happy about the book since he passed away in 1996, and the book lets everyone know how he and other spirits are still very much around. 
   In fact, on Saturday, August 17th, I sensed him around while we were doing laundry. He gave us a confirmation, too.  My partner Tom took the sheets out of the dryer and brought them into the bedroom. He put them down on the bed and shook them out, and a penny dropped out of them!  How that got in there (and why it didn't fall out on the way from the dryer to the bedroom is because Ed didn't want it to fall out yet).  The penny was dated 1996 - the year Ed passed away! 
  Spirits send us signs in many ways, and Ed loves using coins with the 1996 date on them. Keep in mind, that's 23 years ago.  Glad to see that Ed approves of his book and my story with him!

Bristol England Hauntings #2: The Monk of All Saints Church in Clifton

One of my books is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" and is all about the various ghosts I met when I took 2 vacations in England. Recently, Bristol Live in the UK ran a series about haunted places in Bristol, so on this blog,  you'll read about 1 each week for the next several weeks!      Meanwhile if you want to read about the ghosts I met (Queens, shop owners, members of the royal court, Tavern workers, Shakespeare's sister, and even a dog, check out my book on Amazon.com.  Now, onto the hauntings in Bristol, England: 

The monk of All Saints Church in Clifton

All Saints Church in Bristol

In the 1840s, local Bristol newspapers reported a haunting at a house joined to the All Saints Church in Clifton .
The ghost was said to be that of a an old man, and the family living in the house, the Jones's, were terrified by his presence, so much so that Mrs Jones reportedly felt the urge to jump out of a window.
The couple reported seeing a light flickering on one of the walls in the house, and Mr. Jones was said to be so scared that he was reduced to a trembling ball on the floor.

The church and grounds are also believed to be haunted by a monk in black who is said to have returned to watch over treasure he had hidden in the grounds.

A Book Review I like for KINDRED SPIRITS!

If you haven't read my new book "Kindred Spirits: How a Spirit Befriended a Medium" you should! It's an amazing story of how a spirit named Ed has befriended me over 14 years of constant communication.
  Here's a recent Amazon review of the book:
 

Mary A. Buten

5.0 out of 5 starsA very special book.

July 28, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this book less than a week after euthanizing my dog. I read all of Rob's books so when this became available I ordered it. Several parts of this book felt like they were written just for me, answering questions I had swirling in my head. I believe in Rob and feel he is the real deal. He has something very special and a pure heart. I found this book to be interesting and amazing and I can see a spirit being attracted to Rob because of his honesty and goodness. Ed wanted to bring a message and knew to trust Rob to give it. I totally can understand that. Through Rob's books I am learning to trust my own ability to communicate with my own departed love ones.
If you are hurting from the loss of someone you love don't hesitate to read this book or any other of Rob's books. It will bring you comfort at this painful time in your life.

A Wonderful Sign from a Beautiful Dog In Spirit!

Emmy visited her mom

In my books, Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2, I wrote about many ways that our pets can communicate with us after they pass away. Recently, I received a beautiful experience from Mary, whose beloved dog, Emmy passed away. Mary gave me permission to share her story, in hopes that it helps others understand that their pets can communicate the same way.
  Here's Mary's experience (and a photo of her beautiful dog, Emmy):
 
Hi Rob- My Emmy really came through to let me know she is still with me two weeks after we said goodbye. 
   I was over my son's house in PA babysitting. Emmy always came with me. 
This is the first time [I was there] without her. I was missing her a lot and I said that out loud. 
    Later that night, I was in bed and I was talking to her saying how I wish she was there. It didn't feel right without her there.
   I turned out the light and was trying to fall asleep. I was lying on my side and I felt something nudge me on the side. Then I felt something walking all over the bed. I didn't move because I wanted to concentrate and make sure I wasn't imagining it. It was without a doubt something walking on my bed. 
   I then said okay go to sleep and it stopped. I turned the light on and I looked around. I had the spread off the bed but on the top sheet I saw little indentations like paw prints! 
   I should have taken a picture but I was stunned. I finally went to sleep and woke up smiling and happy. I been smiling all day. My baby let me know she was with me like she always was.
