A Spirit at the Baltimore Comic-Con!

Me and a female Green Lantern

You never know when a spirit is going to drop in on you or influence you to go a certain direction. That's exactly what happened to me when I recently attended the big Baltimore Comic-Con(vention). There were a lot of cool costumed heroes and villains walking around the Baltimore Comic-con, and here are some pictures that I took with some of them. I went dressed in costume as the superhero Green Lantern again this year. 

The Avengers and Rob as Green Lantern

I got to pose for a picture with the "Avengers" from the Marvel Comics series (and movie). From left to right are the characters: Hawkeye, Venom, Captain America, (me as Green Lantern) and Thor, the God of Thunder. 

A SPECIAL SPIRIT VISITS AT COMIC-CON:  You never know when someone who passed is going to be standing beside you, and our friend Ed, who passed in 1996 was with me at the Comic-con today. He used to read Uncle Scrooge comics (even as an adult) and laugh out loud at them. When I was walking around with Stacey and Tom R. we came across Scrooge McDuck's illustrator!   I knew that Ed was standing right there with me and he was as excited as I was!  

Don Rosa, Illustrator

SCROOGE MC DUCK'S ILLUSTRATOR! 

Keno Don Hugo Rosa, known simply as Don Rosa (born June 29, 1951), is an American comic book writer and illustrator known for his stories about Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and other Disney characters.

Amazing Time at the Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library

On Saturday, October 11 at 1 p.m. EDT  I gave a talk at the Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library at 7584 Leesburg

Me and our three dogs: Dolly, Franklin and Tyler (L to R)

Pike, Falls Church, VA 22403.

  Librarian Nora Wickert found me on Google, and emailed me with the prospect of giving a talk about m "Pets and the afterlife." I jumped at the chance to reach more people to give hope and comfort as they grieve the loss of their pets and relatives and friends.  

  The room was crowded, and I really appreciated everyone coming out in the rain (it was a cold, damp, rainy day in Northern Virginia). I explained that pets communicate with us from the other side using a lot of the same methods that people communicate. 

  There were a lot of great questions from the audience and people shared their experience with human and pet spirits. Some of the energy in the room choked me up during the talk- but that's what happens. The passing of a person or pet is an emotional experience, and I FEEL their emotions. So, I got choked up a couple of times.  (So if you hear me talk and I get choked up, it's because spirit is strong and sharing emotions with me - I can't help it!! - just like I can't help sometimes feeling the pain of their death, which they sometimes share).

   Thank you to everyone who came out to the talk. I hope that you learned how spirit communicates and that you find signs from your pets and people who have passed!

Adirondack Save a Stray- Fundraiser Fun!!

Over the weekend of Oct. 5-6 I flew to Albany, New York and did a talk about "Pets and the Afterlife"during a benefit dinner for Adirondack Save a Stray Rescue (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Adirondack-Save-A-Stray) 
   Darlene and Meredith coordinated the event and it was elaborate, the dinner was wonderful, the decorations beautiful, music was enjoyable, and the people and spirits were amazing. 

Meredith (Center) and rescuers

   In fact, there were so many pets that came through to me I can't remember who's who!  The first spirit I ran into though was a little dog. His mom came to me and simply said he died in an accident. I got the message that it was a poisoning, and she confirmed it- totally surprised. That's how spirit works. Her spirit dog's message was that his mom needed not to feel guilty - and she was carrying guilt (unnecessarily) . It was a very healing visit.

   I remember one other gentleman named Mike who brought a picture of his beautiful white dog who passed in 1987 and wanted him to come through, but instead Mike's mother came through -and was very stubborn and strong, not letting Mike's dog have his "turn." Mike did understand the messages from his mom, though. :) 
    The Adirondack Save-a-Stray dinner’s second speaker, Ladybird Light owner Lindsey Bodkin, is a Reiki teacher who specializes in animal healing and communication. 
    I had never been to Glens Falls, NY or Saratoga Springs before- and this was a treat (although I flew in in the afternoon and flew out Sunday by noon! - What a beautiful area!

Pet Expo: A Spirit Dog Sends a Real Rainbow Bridge

Here's yet another amazing story of how a pet's spirit, a dog in this case, provided a sign to her mom after she passed.

Spirit Dog Sends a Real "Rainbow Bridge"

     A woman named Jan stopped by the booth and told Ruthie and I that she had lost her beloved Bassett Hound named Sissy. However, she said that she recognized a sign from her  after her passing. She asked his spirit to tell her if he had crossed the "Rainbow Bridge."    The Rainbow Bridge is a popular poem about how animals cross into the light in the afterlife.

Jan was kind enough to share her story for everyone. Here's what Jan writes: 

Feb 17^th 2000 will be a day I will never forget.  On that Thursday I had to say goodbye to my best friend & confidant of 8 years & 3 months. Her name was Sissy & she was by far the most loving, sweet, loyal, affectionate, passive, perfect Basset Hound & she was my soul-mate dog. Before taking her to the vets for the last time, I brought her to a Native American elder to bless her. He told me she was not dying but was just going to a different place & for me to watch for signs from her.

Almost immediately I started reading everything I could get my hands on about pet loss & quickly learned about the Rainbow Bridge.  I also found a wonderful website where I created a virtual cemetery space for Sissy, since I had her ashes sent to Arizona where I own a plot in a pet cemetery.

Well 3 weeks later to the date, March 9^th, I received 2 pieces of info in regard to Sissy. One was from the cemetery in Arizona saying they received her ashes & they would be buried the next day. The other was from the website where I was creating the virtual cemetery & they messaged me telling me that they had approved my submission & it would now be on line to view.

A double rainbow

On my way home from work, on that very same date, I donated her leftover dog food to a stray dog rescue organization. As I was driving home it was raining, but the temperature was warm & nice. Still being dazed & confused throughout my intense grief, I thought to myself that Sissy gave me this weather. Then I spoke out loud “Maybe you can give me a rainbow, too.”

Well, not more than a ½ mile later I saw people on both sides of the road, looking up at the sky. So naturally I also looked to the sky and there it was, the most biggest, brightest rainbow I’ve ever seen in Massachusetts. It was so complete from end to end, beautiful & even with another smaller one behind it. Well I instantly started sobbing hard because all I could think of was my Sissy telling me something like, “I see it Mom. I see the rainbow & I’m almost home.”  It was at that point, despite a ton of tears, I repeatedly thanked her for such an obvious, miraculous sign.

So, equally, March 9^th 2000 will be a day I will also never forget.

New England Pet Expo: A Dream Sign from Spirit/Meet "Hunter"

Ruthie gets to meet a Native American Dog with a big spirit

Recently I went to the Boston area where I had a booth and talked about my book "Pets and the Afterlife" at the New England Pet Expo in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
In this blog you'll read about TWO amazing signs from spirit dogs. 
 My friend Ruthie Larkin, the Beantown Medium was with me all day and we really enjoyed meeting everyone!

DOXIE DREAMING: A GOOD SIGN- One of the people I met is also a Dachshund parent like me, and she told me that her Dachshund had passed. However, she told me that recently, her red, smooth-haired Dachshund had come to her in a dream to let her know that he was okay on the other side. Dreams are the most common way that spirit can communicate with us. People on the other side can come into your dreams. (Earth-bound ghosts seem to have a much harder time doing that...)  So it was a good confirmation that her little guy is happy on the other side.

HUNTER A DOG ON WHEELS - I got to meet an amazing dog who doesn't have the use of his back legs, but his dad got him a wheel-harness and said that "Hunter" doesn't even notice it now. He said that Hunter loves to play fetch and can run like any other dog. That was encouraging because one of our dachshunds had the same spinal surgery that Hunter had, and our little guy is struggling to relearn how to walk.
