Today's Sign from our Dog Sprite: Anniversary of his Passing

Sprite put his tee shirt front and center today

I've written two books about how our pets communicate from the afterlife (called Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2), and it's always amazing to me when the signs come. 
   Tomorrow, July 8th, marks 6 years ago that our Dachshund Sprite passed away and today he gave me a sign he is still very much around. Spirits will usually send us signs within 2 weeks of a birthday, anniversary (even of their passing) or holiday.
Signs can come in many ways, and you have to be open to recognizing them. That's why I wrote the books -to teach people how to recognize the messages our pets send from spirit to let us know they are still very much around us. 

ABOUT SPRITE -  Sprite came to us in December of 2010, just before he turned 14 years old. He was born on Dec. 23, 1996 and passed on July 8, 2013. 

MAKING A TEE SHIRT - After Sprite passed, I decided to have a tee shirt made with my favorite photo of him, his name and dates. I love the tee shirt and it's one of about 100 plus that I have. Today, Sprite let me know that he was around because that Tee shirt with his picture was the next one in my stack to wear. 

>HOW DID IT HAPPEN? - I have a stack of tee shirts in my closet, that I fold in a rectangle. Each week, after doing laundry, the newly laundered tee shirts go on the bottom of the back stacks. As I wear tee shirts from the front stack, I take the top of the back stack and put it under the front stack. - This way, I'm wearing ALL of the tee shirts equally, and not wearing the same one within 90 days. Yeah, I know, it's too organized for some, but that's what I like to do. SO, imagine my surprise when the top shirt on the front stack was the photo of Sprite... Sprite's tee shirt surfaced as the one to wear today, the day before the anniversary of his passing (actually, today marked the day we rushed him to the ER, because a tumor in is nose ruptured and wouldn't stop bleeding, helping us make the decision for July 8th- as he couldn't walk and wasn't eating either). 

NOT A COINCIDENCE - There's no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to spirit.

Happy Independence Day

Our dog Dash wishes everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July. 
  He also urges You to keep fireworks far from doggies because (like many dogs) he does not like them!
  He reminds you to keep your dog indoors with the radio or television on, and keep their collar (with name tag, address and phone) on, in case someone opens the door and the dog runs scared outside. It happens to many dogs during the fireworks.

VIDEO Mike Ricksecker's Friday Night Ghost Frights: The Led Zeppelin Curse! Is It Real?

I'm proud to share my friend  Mike Ricksecker's Friday Night Ghost Frights:
The episode today is called:  The Led Zeppelin Curse! Is It Real?

Inside the Led Zeppelin curse, the haunted house Jimmy Page owned, its connections to Aleister Crowley, and the tragedies that befell Led Zeppelin during the late 1970s.
Did Jimmy Page's interest in the occult doom the band? Why did he buy the haunted Boleskine House in Loch Ness?
Did Kenneth Anger really curse Led Zeppelin, causing Robert Plant and John Bonham to suffer or was it Jimmy Page playing around with black magic and performing rituals like Aleister Crowley?
Or is it all just urban legend and ghost stories?

Tarot Tuesday: Wheel of Fortune Card

Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreason provides "Tarot Tuesday" to give you some insight into tarot
cards. Today's card is the Wheel of Fortune Card.

Joy says: There is change in the air! Be open to your life changing for the better! Be thankful for your many blessings and cherish those you love. The only thing that is assured is that nothing ever stays the same.

MEANING OF THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE CARD: (Thanks to biddytarot.com)
Upright: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point Reversed: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles

ABOUT THE CARD: 
The Wheel of Fortune card shows a giant wheel, with three figures on the outer edges. Four Hebrew letters – YHVH (Yod Heh Vau Heh), the unpronounceable name of God – are inscribed on the wheel’s face. There are also the letters TORA, thought to be a version of the word Torah, meaning ‘law’, or TAROT, or even ROTA (Latin for ‘wheel’). The middle wheel has the alchemical symbols for mercury, sulphur, water and salt – the building blocks of life and the four elements – and represents formative power. On the outer circle is a snake, the Egyptian god Typhon (the god of evil), descending on the left side. The snake also represents the life force plunging into the material world. On the right side rises the Anubis, the Egyptian God of the dead who welcomes souls to the underworld. And on top of the wheel sits the Sphinx, representing knowledge and strength. In the corners of the Wheel of Fortune card are four winged creatures, each associated with the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: the angel is Aquarius, the eagle is Scorpio, the lion is Leo, and the bull is Taurus. Their wings signify stability amidst movement and change, and each holds the Torah, representing wisdom. NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.

There is a Difference between a Medium and a Psychic

Recently, someone asked me to tell them their future, lottery numbers and if they'll be successful in their job.  I can't tell them that because I'm a medium, not a psychic. I talk to the dead, not connect to energy for people's futures.
   Some mediums will tell you that ALL Mediums are psychics. They're not. Not everyone gets both gifts.Here's how it works:

WHAT IS A PSYCHIC? 
Psychics can tell people about their future endeavors because they tune into the energy of people or objects. They connect with their energy and feel a person's past, present and future. Psychics rely on their intuition and ability to get information for the person being read.



WHAT IS A MEDIUM?
Mediums talk to people and pets who passed.  It's NOT the same. Although mediums can get a sense of the energy around a person, whether they have good or bad energy (aura), they can't necessarily read energy into their futures. That's exactly how it is with me:  I can talk with people who passed, but I can't tell you your future.

I can tell you what a person or pet wants you to know about themselves or if they've been protecting, guiding or helping you. I can explain how the person or pet feels on the other side. But I can't tell you what is in store for you. That's a psychic.

I never developed the gift of tuning into a person's future. To me, that's a much different gift. Just as some have the gift to know when someone is going to pass away days before they do. I don't have that gift either (to me, that's unsettling).

So, when you ask a medium to tell you the future, not all of them can - because we're not all psychic and mediums. Sometimes, like me, we are one or the other. 
 

The Ghost I Recently Encountered on the Princeton Campus

The part of Campus where I met the ghost

Earlier this spring I took a trip to Princeton, NJ to visit a friend. He toured Tom and I around the campus of Princeton University and it was there I walked into a ghost on the open campus. I also think I may have figured out his identity.

THE GHOST ON CAMPUS! As we were walking near the store on campus, in a big open area, I  suddenly developed my "ghost headache." That's the headache I get in the back left side of my head whenever I'm in the presence of an Earth bound ghost or a spirit (who crossed over).
    Suddenly, an Earth-bound ghost walked right past me. He made me feel as if he were a recent addition to the campus. Someone who recently died but decided to come back to Princeton and spend his afterlife, because he loved the school so much.
   I immediately told Tom that the ghost was a man and he seemed to be in his 60s or 60ish yeard old when he died recently. I also told them that he was a professor at Princeton.

SOLVING THE GHOST'S IDENTITY? 
Our friend may have provided the answer to his identity. He said that just days before our visit, Princeton University economics professor Alan Krueger, who served under both Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, died the previous weekend from suicide. He was 58.

His recent death would make sense, because the ghost told me he recently returned to campus (as a ghost). The suicide may explain why he stayed behind, because people who commit suicide sometimes stay behind because they think suicide is a "sin" and they don't deserve to cross over (everyone needs to cross over). So several things here hint at the ghost's identity.

OTHER GHOSTS? There are other ghosts who haunt Princeton's campus. I didn't go in the buildings, and that's usually where they dwell. This ghost, however, was enjoying a walk around the campus when I "bumped" into him!

Thanks for coming -Inspired Ghost Tracking at Woodlawn Branch of the Baltimore Library Event

  On Tuesday, June 18 from 7 to 8pm, the  Inspired Ghost Tracking group made apresentation called " Journey into the Paranormal"  at the Woodlawn Branch of the Baltimore Library in , Gwynn Oak, Maryland (It's in Baltimore County).

    Margaret Erhlich, the founder and manager along with senior investigator and Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) tech whiz, Randy Keller co-led the discussion, explaining how the group works, how investigations are conducted, what equipment is used and lessons about evidence.

   Diane, who is a sensitive, explained about trusting your feelings, and shared some of her experiences. Ronda, a lead investigator and group historian told the group about her famous photo of the silhouette of Dr. Samuel Mudd, from the Mudd home in Waldorf, Maryland. Dr. Mudd set John Wilkes Booth's broken leg after Booth assassinated President Lincoln on April 15, 1865. 

    I, Rob, talked about what happens after we die, and the differences between ghosts and spirits, and how they work with energy.

   There were a lot of good questions, and some shared experiences.
