Amazing Sign from My Mom and Dad's Spirits on their Anniversary!

Mom and Dad gave an Amazing Sign today!

It's Amazing how spirits can send signs. Today would've been my mom's birthday and my parent's 59th anniversary.
Both have passed, but they just gave me and my brothers and AMAZING SIGN.  This morning I asked mom and dad to give me a sign that they're fine and still around. They delivered!

A LOUD AND CLEAR SIGN FROM MY PARENTS' SPIRITS:
This morning, June 19th, my younger brother  called me (he lives in the same town as my parents lived) and said he received a call from the alarm company that monitors my parents' house. The company told him that that the burglar alarm on mom and dad's house (which has been vacant since mom passed 12/29/13) went off this morning! -

Of course there is no one there and no one had entered the house.

Because spirits can manipulate electricity, my Mom and Dad made the alarm go off as a way to communicate to me and my brothers- that they're still around, still looking out for us. A final note- birthdays and anniversaries are the time that spirits will usually come through with messages for the living. This is yet another example of that!  So, if you've lost someone, be diligent on birthdays and anniversaries - that's when signs come most!

Video TALK! Rob Gutro@ StrangeCon 2014:"Recognizing Signs From Loved Ones"

Here's the first video of a full talk by Rob Gutro (Author/Medium) called "Recognizing Signs From Loved Ones." This is one of Rob's favorite talks, and this one was given in May at StrangeCon 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland. The talk runs 35 minutes and is available on YouTube.
   Now you can hear Rob talk about the basics of ghosts and spirits, using science to explain their existence, and how YOU can recognize signs from ghosts and spirits. You can find all that information in his three books: Ghosts and Spirits Insights from a Medium, Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead, and Pets and the Afterlife. All books are available in E-book and paperback from Amazon.com.

Photos and Fun at Carroll County Pet Expo

Tiki's Playhouse

I enjoyed spending the day on Saturday, June 14th at the well-organized and fun Carroll County Pet Expo in Westminster, Md. where I did book signings at the "Pets and the Afterlife" /DC Area Weimaraner Rescue booth!
   I met a lot of Weimaraner lovers (and former owners), a lot of people who miss their dogs or cats, some who have experiences living in haunted houses (that the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group I belong to) hopes to investigate, and others who came by to check out my books, say hello or bring their dog over!

A visitor and her service dog!

   One interesting vendor I met is Kelvin Abrams who had a Weimaraner named Tiki, and Tiki passed away so he stared a business in her honor called "Tiki's playhouse, Inc. (Tiki's was founded for one reason: to keep your best friend safe, happy, and engaged while you're away.) Kelvin also has a doggy ice cream truck in honor of his beloved, late Weim Tiki. The boarding/daycare is located at 3830 Ten Oaks Road Glenelg, MD 21737, Tel. 410-489-7889.

   I also got to meet and chat with Don, the host of Pet Pourri Talk Radio show on WCBM, AM-680, Baltimore. The radio show airs on Saturdays from 4-5pm.  Pet Pourri/Talk is devoted entirely to pets and helps people with their pets. The host is a long-time dog breeder, exhibitor and representative of numerous animal groups.  ***WATCH FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT- as I may make an appearance on the show soon!***

A doggy visitor at my booth!

   My booth at the expo was coincidentally and fortunately placed appropriately next to Faithful Memories LLC. - Our dog Sprite's ashes is in one of the beautiful wooden boxes they sell. Faithful memories LLC's website says  they are "your caring cremation alternative for your family pet members in Maryland and the surrounding areas . Providing personalized and compassionate cremation arrangement, memory items, and support for your family during the loss of a beloved pet."

   I also got to chat with Ashley Carlson of Animal Rescue Inc. and Amanda Seal of Central Carroll Animal Emergency of Westminster, Md - a great rescue and hospital, respectively.

My booth all set up!

 Rob Parr of the Maryland Pet Gazette stopped by to say hello, and I was really excited to meet him. I've been using the Gazette for MANY YEARS. It's the best source of pet-related resources! Maryland Pet Gazette is the original pet yellow pages in Baltimore, providing Maryland residents with the most accurate and up-to-date information. This guide covers Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard and Montgomery Counties, as well as the cities of Baltimore, Annapolis, Laurel and Bowie.

More vendors at the Expo!

  
   A BIG THANKS to Helen who organized the Carroll County Pet Expo -she did an amazing job with her helpers and it was really fun!

Meet Medium Ruthie Larkin: She has a chapter in Rob's "Pets in the Afterlife" book

Ruthie Larkin is a good friend of mine and an incredible medium who contributed a chapter about her communications with her dog Boston's spirit in my book "Pets and the Afterlife." I sat with Ruthie and asked her questions that everyone would want to know. - Rob

Here's the Q & A:

 1. In your own words, who is Ruthie Larkin, Medium?

Answer: I’m a faith based gal who tries to make a difference in this lifetime helping people find closure with their deceased loved ones…sort of like a spiritual therapist.

2. When in your life did you realize you had an ability to communicate with spirits and how did you handle it?

Answer: I was around five years old when I realized I could see spirits and also knew many things a child would never know. I was never afraid but didn’t want to be different so I tried to turn off my gifts the best I could. I did however feel the need to understand them so I became a life long student of the after life. I read every book I could find on the subject as well as signing up for any class and or course to help me further understand what was going on with me.

 
3. How did you finally embrace your gift of mediumship and healing?

Answer: It took most of my life to totally embrace my gifts in lieu of just using them for close friends and family. I was always a hands-on healer but was urged by a close friend to take a Reiki class with her. I had a wonderful instructor who recognized my gifts immediately and gently guided me to accept them. I started working with families who lost a child to death and realized that I made a big difference in their lives and brought them closure and comfort. Before long I was getting referrals from all these parents to their friends and families and I became so busy that I left the corporate world a few years ago.

4.  You wrote a chapter in Rob Gutro's "Pets and the Afterlife" about how your late dog Boston communicated with you from the other side. How amazing was that for you? Was that the first time a dog or cat came through?

Answer – I never considered myself a Psychic Medium who regularly received messages from pets but over the course of time that has changed. I now see pets all the time and sometimes they communicate with me things they want their owners to know. Boston of course was special and she has given me so many wonderful signs since her passing.

5. You specialize in helping comfort parents who lost children? Why is this so important to you?

Answer – I get asked that question all the time and I believe that I must have lost a child in a past lifetime. I also feel there is no greater tragedy than losing a child and parents have little recourse except to join a group of bereaved parents. I work with many of these groups and see most of their members and I am told all the time how much comfort I bring them by connecting them to their child/children. They know for sure that their child is OK and filled with joy no matter how they passed. They also know that they are still around them as they bring up recent events to let their parents know they stay close. It’s a really beautiful thing for me to share. By the way, parents get complimentary Readings either in person or by phone.

6. What’s next on the horizon for you?

Answer: I am kept extremely busy with personal Readings, Public and Private Events, Fundraisers, House Clearings, Police Investigations and my Holistic Healing Practice. That all being said, I am writing a book and organizing a non-profit Psychic network to find missing children that will be global. There’s still lots to do but I am convinced that it will all be done before I make that final transition for myself.

7. How can people get a hold of you for phone or in-person readings?
-What is your website, facebook and twitter pages?

Answer – The best way to reach me is to go through my website which is www.beantownmedium.com and fill in the contact form. Be as thorough as possible in telling me exactly what service you need and the best days/times that would fit into your schedule. I’m on Facebook under Bean Town Medium.

Shelley of DNRA, Luxie and Rob take a selfie!

On Saturday afternoon June 7 I joined Shelley of the Dachshund Rescue of North America at the Greenbelt, Maryland First Annual Pet Expo. It was a sunny and warm day, about 85F and there were about 15 vendors at the Greenbelt Dog Park.
   Shelley contributed an AMAZING chapter in my new book "Pets in the Afterlife." Shelley's chapter is RESCUED BY A DOG'S GHOST." Her true story happened when she was a girl. Shelley is also a scientist, so we share that in common as well as dog rescue. For more about the book, see below!
*************************

   There were a lot of great vendors at the Pet Expo including a Cocker Spaniel Rescue, a cat rescue, pet sitters, dog trainers, veterinary hospitals, a pet photographer, the SPCA, Greenbelt Animal Shelter and more. I went around and spoke to many of them and told them about my book "Pets in the Afterlife" to help comfort people who lost a pet and understand that signs they're giving to their pet parents from beyond!
  

DNRA and Rob join forces to promote the rescue and his book

 WHAT IS DACHSHUND RESCUE OF NORTH AMERICA? - Dachshund Rescue of North America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with one sole purpose — rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing needy dachshunds and mostly dachshund mixes.

Shelley and Luxie (avail. for adoption)

 MEET LUXIE THE DACHSHUND- AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - Luxie loves people and snuggling. She very velcro. She does not like other dogs because she is the Princess of her pack. She is a miniature dachshund who walks well on a leash and is housetrained. Luxie is 6 years old. We will have an update on this delightful little dachshund in the days to come.  She's about 15 pounds and needs to be the only dog in the house.

A FEATHERY SIGN FROM A DOG - I had the good fortune to talk with several folks who had questions and one woman shared a great story about her Labrador Retriever that passed. She noticed that since he passed, she sometimes sees white "feather-like" things when she's thinking of him. Sometimes feathers, sometimes the white dandelion puffs (or fruits as they're called).  The white fuzz is attached to the seed and acts as a parachute, according to Purdue University. / Some dog and people spirits will send feathers, birds, butterflies or other things in nature to let people know they're okay. - This woman's dog also wanted to know that her father (who passed last year) is with her beloved Labrador Retriever! 

A sign from a Labrador!

A Random Reader Review on "Pets and the Afterlife"

5.0 out of 5 stars  

Wonderful book for those who have lost a beloved pet...  

May 11, 2014

By jenniemarie

Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

This is a wonderful book for those who are grieving the loss of a pet, especially for those who had to make the decision to end their furry friend's life through humane euthanasia. I just purchased this book this past Friday, and I couldn't put it down. I had it finished by the next day. I lost a cat that was very special to me this past February, and have been having a hard time dealing with her loss. This book has brought me endless amounts of comfort, as I am now certain that I had made the correct excision, and that my sweet little kitty is at peace. I would recommend this book to anyone who is questioning their decision or who is simply having a difficult time dealing with a loss of a pet. Rob Gutro is very talented and will give you insight into seeing signs that you may have missed that your beloved pet is whole again and at peace. I now look forward to reading his other books as well. I hope that this book brings as much comfort to others as it has to me.
