I can’t believe this timing. This nice woman responded to my Taos post on Instagram yesterday where I asked people for their interesting stories about how they were drawn to Taos. In my post (see above) I asked for people to either put their stories in the comments section, or email me their story if they were not comfortable posting it publicly. But, she direct messaged me this video via Instagram.
I don’t really like to chat via direct/private messages on any social media site, so I don’t usually even check private messages on Instagram. Because she had alerted me that a message would be coming, I went and looked. Because I checked, I happened to see a message from September 9th that an ex Sony co-worker I’ve not talked to in ages had sent me. Thank goodness I saw it! He had written to tell me that a message I had given him from spirit many years ago suddenly made sense to him. At the time, he had assumed the message was from his departed mother because of the name that I told him I had heard. (I’m not saying the exact names to protect his identity.) But, he just assumed I had slightly misunderstood the name and that it was his mom’s name instead of the similar sounding man’s name I gave him at the time.
Anyway, he just found out that his father’s stepdad’s real first name was the name I had given him! He had always heard the family call the man by a different first name. This out-of-the-blue validation from my ex co-worker about a spirit message I had given him many years ago, came to me with perfect timing…especially just after seeing this video about letting the universe give you a sign. I am so incredibly miserable right now and cannot keep doing the unfulfilling work I have been doing for years. And it is not lost on me that all of this came about because of Taos.
Perhaps the REAL me that needs to be let out is the psychic medium me…not the administrative assistant me. I am someone who has needed a steady paycheck, etc. to feel “safe” and secure financially, but I’m close to having to make a drastic change in my life in order to be happier and to fulfill my soul’s mission on Earth. In the past week, I’ve had 2 ex Sony Pictures co-workers reach out to me asking for readings. AND, while taping the YouTube video in this post this morning, a hummingbird came from nowhere, flew up next to my balcony, looked at me, and flew off! I’ve been getting SO many hummingbird visitations lately (always quick and they seem to stare at me) that I bought a beaded bracelet from a Native American man last weekend that had a hummingbird in the design. You can see it here:
I was blessed to be asked to attend a sweat lodge ceremony last evening in Ranchos de Taos done in the authentic Lakota fashion. I made a video talking about the experience, but I should have written down things I wanted to make sure to mention…which means I forgot stuff like…
I brought tobacco as an offering, which was placed on the altar outside the lodge.
There is a certain direction you walk (or crawl) in when you enter or exit the lodge.
I was offered a sweat lodge dress but opted to stay in a t-shirt and long shorts. I should have taken Kathy up on the offer. Since I didn’t bring a spare set of clothes, I had to drive home soaking wet. LOL
There is a “line” between the lodge, altar in front of the doorway, and the fire in front of that. You are not supposed to walk across it and need to go around it.
Because our bodies are the only thing we ever really own, to give of your flesh is the post powerful offering you can make in prayer.
Puff hard on the pipe so it doesn’t go out half way around the circle of people!
Here is a video from the sweat lodge location facing Taos. The storm clouds made it look extra magical. We had a beautiful view from up in the mountains.
Because I ended up not feeling well at all by the end, I’m not sure I’ll do a sweat lodge again, but I’m glad I did do it. It was a powerful evening of prayer and connection to not only other human beings, but also the Great Spirit.
Some of these made me laugh out loud, and some made me cry (John Wayne and Rick James — went to a Hollywood party where Rick arrived years ago with 2-3 women). I love Merv Griffin’s epitaph. I am still struck by the “Everlasting Love” on Andy Gibb’s grave, the extravagance of Liberace’s grave (not far from Andy and he was near Bette)…not to mention the “Everybody loves somebody” on Dean Martin’s wall tomb after he came to me in spirit singing that song! (Side note….he flirted.) In the same Westwood, CA cemetery with Dean, Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe (also came to me briefly when I was extremely depressed…she sent me a red rose), Eva Gabor, etc…was Mel Torme. I LOVE Mel’s marker’s epitaph: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5612/mel-torme “Music, the greatest good that mortals know…and all of heaven we have below.” Some think it’s odd that I adore cemeteries, but, as a psychic medium, they are my life blood. They are where I find peace.
This is a quickie post. Last night I was visited in a “dream” by a lovely guy I used to work with at Sony Pictures Entertainment who left this realm way too young. (From my human perspective…not his soul’s perspective.) I wish I could recall the dream, but it’s already just a glimmer in my memory. At work yesterday, I had a quick “drive by visitation” by the brother of a friend of mine that included a simple but nice message. Last week, I had another quick visitation by a young gal who was recently killed in a car accident while I took my lunchtime walk at work. She also gave me a brief message to pass along. I seem to be having increasing numbers of visitations by people on the Other Side lately and I don’t know what’s triggering it. Is anyone else having more encounters with family and friends on the Other Side? I don’t know if the veil is suddenly getting even thinner, or what? I’d love to hear your feedback and/or stories. One friend said she was awakened this morning by a loved one in spirit hugging her and smiling.
Driving back to the pueblo I live on (in the middle of nowhere) from Santa Fe today, I suddenly got that feeling I get when someone wants to come through and speak. Thankfully, my unseen friends waited until I got home. 😉 A group of angelic beings showed up first, but then Lisette…my fairy/faerie friend…showed up. I just ADORE her energy! She is lightness and fun! My other unseen friends tend to be much more serious. At one point during the channeling session, my head kept moving in the infinity symbol and I could not stop it. In my mind, I had to tell them, “Okay, enough already. People are going to get bored!”
Oddly, no cats intervened today. Ha! And, yes, I still have no REAL furniture and I’ve lived here since 11/2016. I have commitment issues. 😉 I am NOT committing to New Mexico again! Heck, I can’t even commit to a 2 year cell phone contract. Anyway, please excuse the lack of decent decor and my dirty/stringy hair. I really do need to pull it back out of the way when I channel. As usual, this is clearly not some high end production here. 😀
Thank you to my friend, Joe, for taking all of this footage and editing it. We got some cool stuff! The group was Joe, Evelyn, Dave, and me. The other woman in the room with the lamp movement was named Kathy. She was with her husband, Lyle.
I highly recommend the St. James Hotel. You truly step back in time. Joe and Evelyn were in the Governors room and Dave and I stayed in the Wyatt Earp suite. The nice thing about the hotel is that a lot of people there are STRICTLY there to ghost hunt. So, you meet lots of super cool and friendly people.
Here are my pictures of the hotel and surrounding Cimarron area.
I am frantically writing this post! I’m half incoherent right now! Breathe Atheria…breathe…
Okay, going back in time, I met Andy Gibb in 1977-1978 when he was first becoming very famous. He came to Rochester, NY to autograph his first hit album, back when there were still record stores. I think he was 19 at the time and I will NEVER forget how sweet and kind of a soul he was. Decades later, I still remember is fragile sweetness and it makes me cry.
I am still devastated by his untimely passing in 1988.
Those who know me know that I love cemeteries. I love to sit in them and when I used to work next to one in Westwood, CA, I’d eat my lunch next to Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Dean Martin, Truman Capote, and Eva Gabor. I feel peace there. I don’t often feel peace. I am a very restless soul. Anyway, YEARS ago (and I can’t believe I never blogged about this) I went to the Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn Cemetery to walk around and commune with departed souls. I’ve gotta say, Liberace’s crypt is beautiful! But, I was drawn to Andy, not only because I’d met him when I was around 11 years old, but because I somehow understood him. I FELT his soul and its struggles here in 3D Earth. I put my hand on his wall burial site and was flooded with emotion. I felt his soul. I asked him if he had any advice for those of us down here (like what I did with Dennis Hopper in 2012) and…this makes me want to cry again in 2019…he said, “Love with all your heart, and you will be healed.” I stood there, totally overwhelmed with love and sorrow for I don’t know how long. I finally pulled myself away from his “An Everlasting Love” marker (perfect choice) and walked around the large and pretty cemetery. I thought that was the end of it, but I was wrong.
That night I had a “dream” (i.e. visitation) where I could hear Andy singing to me, “You are…this dreamer’s only dream….heaven’s angel…devil’s daughter….” Now, I choose to ignore the “devil’s daughter” part. 🙂 I know what he was trying to convey. Here are the lyrics to his song, “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water”.
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer’s only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Say, my mind, should I go with her on silent nights
She’ll drive me crazy in the end
And I should leave this paradise
But I can’t leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That’s what I’m living for
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer’s only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Say, my thought, should I find out she don’t care at all
She’ll leave me crying in the end
Wandering through the afterglow
But I can’t leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That’s what I’m praying for
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer’s only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer’s only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la…
And here is Andy Gibb singing this song.
I have an incredibly hard time watching him even now. He breaks my heart. As a teenager, I had him, Elvis, Shaun Cassidy, and Rick Springfield all over my bedroom walls. But, Andy touched my soul. I can’t explain it. We lost him WAY too soon.
Flash forward to July 2, 2019…today. Fate has caused a blessing of a human being to walk into my life (VERY recently) when I’d given up all hope at age 52.5 years old of ever being able to love and be loved in return (I’m really good at loving with NO return). Driving home from work tonight, a radio station started playing Andy’s “Shadow Dancing” (which I’d not heard in ages) and it got me thinking about what happened at his grave site years ago.
Well (keeping in mind I’m driving at a zippy speed) I started tingling REALLY strongly. My friend would say I was feeling GSRs. I’m not even sure what GSR stands for, but it means MAJOR SPIRIT TINGLNG. I knew, without question, it was Andy!
You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction, I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said, baby, I lose my head
And in a world of people, there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine?
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right, uh-huh
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection, I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can’t breath when you’re away, it pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
And in this world of people, there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine?
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you, oh
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
I felt that Andy, in spirit, was confirming something regarding my life right now. I know that people are going to say, “Why would he come to YOU? You aren’t anyone he ever knew or cared about.” But, I’ve also been visited by John Lennon TWICE (where he told me he tried to protect George Harrison during the famous home break-in and when called me “mate” the first time….super cool) and David Bowie. So, I don’t question what happens anymore. Keep in mind, they are WAY expanded up there. I feel that if they can find an open receiver, they latch onto the chance to talk.
ANYWAY…I rushed home to blog about all of this. When I was looking for unrestricted pictures of Andy Gibb to use in this post, I was drawn to one that is at the top of this post…his album cover. As I was downloading it, I noticed this 444!
For those who don’t know, spirit talks to me via numbers A LOT. The number 444 means that angels are with you. Look it up. 🙂
What happened tonight during my drive home was not nothing. It was a spirit message, and I fully know that Andy had his hand in it. Love with all your heart, and you will be healed. That has extra significance for me as I’ve been living with severe physical pain. But physical pain is not my only pain. I think that is all too common in our world now…sadly.
