Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit 

ABOUT THE BOOK

It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England. As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit.

"Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state" - Author Rob Gutro describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

A Meaningful Number from a Dog's Spirit

Sometimes, spirit will give me numbers that either signify a time, date or other thing that is intensely personal to them or the person getting the reading. In one reading I gave, Patricia's dog was particularly adamant about sharing the number 723. The meaning became clear.


Patricia Maddaluna Gasparro said:  Rob gave me the number from my dog 723. After I thought about it and checked with my veterinarian office July 23 was the date that my dog was diagnosed with cancer. Of course I’m still looking everywhere for that number just in case there are other things too! Rob is amazing!

So, how do dogs and cats convey numbers?  They hear us talk about the numbers , and can relay them back to us. Whether we say a number as a date of an event, a birthday, anniversary, holiday or something connected to them. They basically repeat the numbers, as a way to prove their identity.

Tarot Tuesday: Seven of Swords

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

Joy says: Is someone not being forthcoming? Perhaps you are hiding a truth from someone else or yourself? With yesterday's and today's card right next to each other, it seems like there needs to be a heart to heart with someone. Stop lying to yourself or others.


MEANING OF THE CARD (from Biddytarot.com): 
The Seven of Swords shows a man sneaking away from a military camp with five swords in his arms. He looks over his shoulder at the two upright swords he has left behind. The smile on his face suggests that he is proud of himself for having slipped away without being noticed. 
UPRIGHT: Betrayal, deception, getting away with something, acting strategically 
REVERSED: Imposter syndrome, self-deceit, keeping secrets Seven of Swords Description

A Review I Like: from Amazon about "Pets and the Afterlife"

Here's the latest review of my book Pets and the Afterlife, from a pet parent. The review was posted on Amazon.com on July 1. I'm always glad to hear that people have found answers and comfort.



1. New! VegasAgent reviewed Pets and the Afterlife

Offers comfort that couldn't be found elsewhere 
 July 1, 2019

My Pomeranian passed away at the beginning of May, after 16 1/2 years together. She had been ill, but was doing better, and then one day, her health did a 180 from the night before. I had to make the most horrific decision a pet parent ever has to make. I cannot describe the pain, and emptiness that followed. I found myself doubting my choice, and questioning what she must have thought of me. Did she think I just gave up on her? Did she think I didn't love her enough, and that after all the love she showed me, my thanks was to have her life taken from her? I found myself starting to panic and question things I never really gave much thought to before; Will I really get to be with her again? How do we know they will be waiting for us? I was inconsolable, and I have never wailed the way I did in the week following her passing. Truth be told, I still have not gone one day without crying over her.

The day after she died, my mom gave me Rob's name, and told me how a few of her friends had met him and experienced his gift. I immediately found this book, and downloaded it. It was very difficult to get through more than a few pages at a time, because I just couldn't control the tears. However, the further I got, the more comfort and peace I started to feel.
I also found a podcast on his website, which was also extremely insightful and offered relief to all the questions that were plaguing me. He has a sincerity in his tone, and his writing sounds more like a friend explaining things to you, than just reading a random book.

A month after my baby was set free (almost to the day), my mother suffered the same loss with her elderly dog. Like me, she values her animals and her bond with them over people, so I know she was experiencing the same soul-crushing agony that I was. My mom doesn't have digital books, so I immediately ordered the paperback and had it sent to her, as I know it will help bring some comfort.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves in a whirlwind of questions and painful emotions. Thanks to this book, I was able to take solace in the fact that my questions, fears, doubts, and guilt, are shared by many pet parents. I don't know if I will ever feel certain that I made the right choice; there are always so many variables and what-if's, but I now know that I am not alone in those thoughts, and I have hope that she will sometimes be near, and that one day, I will have the joy of being reunited with her.
