For those of you who are also on my facebook, you will know I have yet ANOTHER head cold. Its been awhile so I guess I need to be thankful, but this one has me good! This morning, woke up and my right ear was so stuffed up I could barely hear out of that ear! NOT FUN!. After taking buckleys and tylenol cold I was able to function "a bit" today. At 3:30pm, the cold symtpoms (and the stuffy ear) was back. Its been since then that I have been sniffling, blowing my nose, sneezing and doing what I can to releve the pressure in my ear!

I swear sometimes the information that comes through sounds crazy!

You would not believe the amount of things that come through in a reading that really make me wonder if I should pass it along as it sounds CRAZY to me. Almost thinking that the person I am sending that in the reading will think I am nuts... so I know I should just pass through whatever comes my way as I do know that 9 out of 10 times, the client knows EXACTLY what it means. Well, most times before hitting send, my curiosity will get the best of me, and my intense desire to help.. I use google..

Tonight while connecting with a loved one who had passed over, my client was hoping that they could help with fertility information that would be helpful. This woman was very full of advice, and very "old school". Wanting to share information that helped her achieve pregnancy. She gave me the impression it was an "oil" that she actually took on a regular basis for good health, but believes it aided her in her feritlity at a "mature" age. I have approval from this woman to pass this information onto my clients in the hopes that those of you might want to look into this further and see if its right for you. I have left out any identifying information to my client to protect their privacy.

Some "oils" to look into and explore.

There are several oils that are reported to help increase fertility. The first is Clary sage, a golden yellow oil. This earthy oil is said to help calm nerves and reduce stress. It is also considered to have aphrodisiac properties. Rubbed into the skin over the reproductive organs it is said to help balance estrogen levels and remedy infertility.

Rose essential oil is another great choice to increase fertility. It has a pleasing, soothing scent. Like Clary sage, it is said to have aphrodisiac properties. Rose is excellent for enhancing both male and female fertility. Have your man take warm (not hot) baths with several drops of rose oil in the water. You can do the same. This will increase sperm count in him and help enhance reproductive health in you.

Rosemary was traditionally woven into bridal headdresses because it was believed to grant fertility to young brides. The essential oil of rosemary is also seen to have fertility enhancing properties. Rosemary oil, diluted in gentle carrier oil, can be rubbed between the hip bones to help sooth inflammation in reproductive organs, or to help open blockages. Men may also find this helps.

Finally the versatile and ever pleasing lavender oil is useful for increasing fertility. Lavender is soothing and has slight aphrodisiac effects, both of which help to make lovemaking more pleasurable. This pleasure allows for the right temperature, lubrication, and alkalinity for conception to be present in the body. Lavender oil is wonderful equalizing oil and is gentle enough to be used right on the skin or as carrier oil for drops of other fertility enhancers.

Exploring aromatherapy for fertility enhancement is just plain fun. You will love to surround yourself with the luscious and pleasing scents. Cool oils also feel good rubbed into your skin. The relaxing properties of oils will help ease your mind, and of course aphrodisiac effects will help the baby-making events happen a little easier.

Popeye the sailor man....

Now for those of you who are around the same age as me or close to it, should know who popeye the sailor man is...well the fun question... what did he eat to make him nice and strong? The answer.. SPINACH!

The fun thing about this topic is that I was doing a reading for a client and was going over her husands information that I got from his picture and her reiki session. They told me to suggest he eat a bit more spinach. I thought that was funny and like most people google alot of the "silly" things that they tell me to pass on... and guess what... ITS TRUE! Here is what I found!

"Maintaining a balanced diet and eating more “sperm-friendly” foods are a good start in preserving sperm health. Foods rich in amino acids are generally recommended. Spinach is widely known for its abundance of amino acids. You may try to incorporate this vegetable as much as you can in your diet and take advantage of its unique benefits. Other foods to try may include tuna, turkey, sesame seed and egg whites, as they will surely boost semen production.

Do you know that aside from addressing male sexual health concerns, if you increase semen volume, it will impact your sexual life in the most positively incredible way? Yes, producing bigger loads can make a sexual experience more pleasurable and your orgasms more intense. It also allows you to recover faster between ejaculations, thus allowing you and your partner to engage in longer bouts of sex!"

Zinc is an essential component in preserving sperm quality and adequate ejaculate volume. It goes without saying that the more zinc your body receives, the greater the chances of producing healthier and more viable sperms. The same can be said for selenium, which is useful in addressing low sperm count issue, and enhance male fertility.

A fun little day

Yesterday was a great day. I had to go and get an oil change for my van. While I was in the bay and the work was being done, they usually ask you if you want a free car wash, or if you want 12% off of your bill. I usually pick the car wash, but many times the person has been able to give me BOTH. I was thinking in my head that I wish I could just ask for both and see what happens (the worse he can say is no) and I chickened out!

I picked the car was as my van NEEDED it, and headed over when the oil change was done. I pull up, and go to insert the token he gave me for the car wash (automatic car wash) and as I put it in the coin slot it comes FLYING out the bottom (where the change comes out). I thought, "oh great, now what"... I reversed the van a bit, and hoped out, and guess what?? Low and behold, next to my token was ANOTHER! So I got TWO!!! I thought that was pretty cool. I move the van back up and insert the token and it goes in just fine.. so what do you think? Coincidence that it flew out the first time? Or was someone trying to "help" by the token flying out so I would locate the other one?

Fast forward to last night. As I was writing out the check to my daughters school for her school pictures, I clued in to the date " 2010,10,20. For those of you who have read my previous posts, I LOVE numbers that are patterns or similar.. so 11:11pm or 12:12pm.. or when the date seems to have all the same numbers.. So I went online, bought a 649 ticket and got an email this morning telling me that I won. After logging in, found out it was only 10.00 but I still won something! lol

Anyways, speaking of winning, congrats to post number

Dont forget everyone, by commenting in the posts, you are still entered to win the 50.00 paypal payment from me. This will be awarded at the end of this month to one lucky winner! The more times you reply to my posts, the more entries you have in the contest!

You know your tired when.....

You suggest to your client that they goto their Dr, and have them order a "BLONDE TEST".

Last night before bed, I replied to a client of mine and suggested the above. I had not realized that I did that, until she replied this morning asking if I meant a "blood test"! I thought that was what I had suggested, but apparently my fingers were thinking otherwise!

I have been trying to answer everyone's emails, lately have recieved quite a few requests and also trying to catch up with the free requests.

Life in general I think has been really busy this month. With the kids back in school, I run a daycare as well with anywhere from 1-3 kids (plus my two year old) and trying to keep the house clean is always a "fun" task!

Christmas is just around the corner and worried about setting up my christmas tree. My one daycare girl is "impulsive" (shes three) and worried she might decide to undecorate my tree! Her mom told me friday that while fixing the wall where the TV goes, they put their 50" flat screen TV against the fireplace. Well the three year old decided while her father was brushing his teeth, that she wanted to see what was behind the TV... CRASH! Mom says the TV is toast (they had not finished paying for it yet) but thankfully the girl is just fine! Must have been standing in the right place at the right time!

My two girls are excited about Halloween. My eldest is going to be a Vampire, and my youngest was supposed to be Tinkerbell. I let her try on her costume and she was pretty upset. First words "I can't fly!!! I can't fly!!!". So shes now decided to be Elmo. Have your kids decided what they plan to be?

Well to make today more "fun" not only by writing a comment in the spot below will enter you into the contest to possibly win a 50.00 paypal payment from me (to be used to SPOIL YOURSELF) but someone today will win a family bypass reading (25.00 value). I will announce the winner WEDNESDAY so you have until then to answer.

Please make sure to leave an email address or a login name of some sort, as I am using those to keep track of the entries for the October contest!

Dreams are not always "simple"

Sometimes dreams can be unpleasant, but still have great meaning.

My dream last night seemed to have been both. A little disturbing, yet something that needs to be shared. In my dream, I was sitting down in a room talking to my mother. We were chatting and having a good time, talking about anything and everything. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw outside, three black shadows that were moving about. It was a bit weird to see, but I immediately thought "death". I ran out and started to "demand" what they wanted. This is when they came into focus and I was able to see them better. Now the fact that they appeared as movie stars was something funny. (the one guy who did most of the talking actually looked like the guy who hosts Dancing with the stars). I do not actually think that when we die that a look alike movie star comes for us, but it was just the face that they showed in my dream. They told me that one of us had to go now. They talked in riddles. Referring to something about "twins" or "dual personality". It was actually quite annoying because they were not giving me a straight answer as to who they came for. So wasn't sure it was my mom, myself or my sister. My mom, hearing how upset I was, came out to see what the commotion was. It was then that the "Samuel Jackson" look alike came forward and said "there you are" and reached for my mom. He touched her and she died. I remember freaking out,and screaming for someone to call 911. That is when I woke up. I told myself that I did not want to continue that dream, that I choose not to and did not want to go back and see what else happened. I remembered calming myself and blanking my mind so that when I went back to sleep, I would perhaps dream something else. Well apparently it was not meant to be.

When I got back in my dream, I walked into this restaurant, I knew my mom was gone, and was upset, but wanting to protect my sister, I went and grabbed her as I walked by and gave her that "expression" that told her she needed to come and used the word "mom". She was kinda startled, but came with me anyways. We got to where they had put my mom's body and as I approached my mom she looked up and said "hi"... Every single dream I have had about my mom has been a way to show me that shes "alive". If you go back to previous posts dating back to march when she first passed, this is how all of my dreams have been. Where in my dream I had known she was gone, but she would say to give her a few weeks and that she was not really dead. In this dream too. The "twin" reference from the "spirit of death", was in reference to the fact that we are in our bodies and yet we are also spirit.. does that make sense? My mom really wants me (and everyone) else to know, that death is just a word we use while we are here. Once our bodies have "expired" (gosh that sounds horrible! sorry!) we are free to leave. It allows us the ability to come on a spiritual journey here, and learn for ourselves, that will help enlighten us even further.

Every time I have this type of dream, it has come when I have had a few bad days where I am missing her terribly, and this is always her way of showing shes here.. that she is with me.

As I was using the washroom this morning (I know, like you wanted to know) I was thinking of this dream, how to post it on the blog so that everyone can get the most out of the experience, and all of a sudden a drop landed on my hand. If I had been outside, I would have sworn it was going to start to rain. I looked up to see if there was a leak, or something where this drop would have come from.. nope... I looked back at my hand.. nothing. I know it was not in my imagination, I felt it. My spiritual side, had given me the image of a "tear", but since I knew I was not crying!

Two nights ago, while laying in bed, not quite time to get up. I heard a noise, and then felt someone "tap" my pillow right behind my head. (I was on my side, so it tapped behind my head at the side of the bed.) I thought for sure that my youngest (shes 2) had come into the room and tapped my pillow to let me know she was there. I turned my head to see her.......no one was there.

Hopefully like myself, you guys will take comfort in knowing that death is not the end... and that our loved ones who we miss as we continue on our own journey in this life, are never truly gone, and are often following us, peeking in on us, and helping where they can.

If you had the chance....

its always fun to play "what would you do".

Lets say that you were either driving your car or perhaps at home playing on the computer and the radio was playing in the background. You hear the radio person announcing that on the air they had a "baby psychic" going live for an hour on the radio and would be taking callers. Allowing the people who called in to ask one question.. would you call?? What type of questions would you love to hear the answers to?

How to recognize a lesson at work

I know i have said in many previous posts about lessons we need to learn in this life in order to help use grow. Not just as people, but spiritually as well. Well, sometimes the best way to notice a lesson at work, is to realize that its happening over and over and over, and yet each time your making the exact same choice.

For example, when I was a teen (seems like a lifetime ago!) I dated "losers". Although at the time I was not completely aware of it. These were guys that I would date, finding them attractive and nice at the first part, but not really clueing in to the fact that they were lieing and or cheating on me. I remember my best friend telling me she had seen my then boyfriend (my first love) holding hands with another girl. I confrtonted him and he denied it. I accepted it and continued the relationship. Eventually finding out more information in the time to come from other sources. Finding out he had slept with someone else. When confronted by myself, he laughed it off, told me to go ahead and ask the girl and while at it, ask if he was any good. I dont think that he really thought I would ask...but I did. I walked up to her while in school and actually told her he asked me to ask her that. The look on her face told me what I needed to know.

I dated other guys, it seems like everyone I did date (trust me its not a ton of guys!) they would end up cheating. It was just before I met my husband that I gave my head a shake. I stood there and faced the lesson. Up till that point, i went along with any scenario that came before me. Accepted the people for who they were and did not give myself the opportunity to realize that I was WORTH more than that. Meaning, I was a good person, and did not deserve to have people treat me like crap. It was then that I vowed, that any man I did date would have to be honest. Should he cheat, the relationship would be over.. I met my then husband in a bar (which I predicted to my friends when I was 16, although not fully aware yet of my gifts). When we started to get serious, I told him that if he EVER cheat on me, it would be over. Whether we were still dating, engaged, married or with or without kids... I would walk away. He told me the same applied to him. It was when I realized that my lesson was as plain as the eye can see, and made the change to get away from my "routine" way of thinking that the lesson stopped repeating. My husband (been married now for almost 10 years and together for 15 years this month) has NEVER cheated on me, nor I him. He is honest to the point that sometimes I question why I even asked him that question! (hes definately the type that if you asked if you look fat in something, if you did, he would tell you yes).

So it was two days ago that I realized that another lesson is at work in my life. I guess you can call it an "awakening". Not that I have not had lessons prior to now, just this one really sticks out, which tells me its more of a "life" lesson rather than just a learning one.

For those of you who know me well.. I am generous. Not only with my time, money or what have you. I go out of my way to help people. I always have. This is not to toot my own horn and tell you what a wonderful person I am (although I am! lol) its to give you the "background" to this lesson.

I seem to without hesistation, offer my time and or money or whatever to people that I am not really "connected" to. This is not a "bad" thing at all nor am I complaining.. but I seem to at times really put myself "out" bending over backwards to try and help someone or do something for them and I ask myself now.. why? I know that it makes me feel good to be able to help people. my mom instilled that in me, but I think this lesson is trying to tell me that its okay to say no... that its okay to not do "everything" for everyone.

Example. I do daycare 5 days a week. I have three kids that have days scheduled throughout the week. My one daycare parent told me one morning during this week that a mutal friend had asked her to watch her 7 year old while her and her husband headed on a trip to mexico. The daycare parent is the step mom to this girl which is why she was asked first (after the bio dad canceled) I mentioned I would see what i could do to help, as my daughter and this 7 year old are great friends (they have sleep overs frequently). To make a long storey short, here i am, looking through my daycare schedule, seeing that three of those days I would have a "full house" of daycare which means no room in the van for the extra 7 year old. I immediately start to think on how i can "shuffle" things around to be more accomodating, figuring out if my inlaws could come part of the day while I shuffle kids back and forth to school. (not to mention this other 7 year old does not goto the same school anymore, so it would require more time and driving) basically.. I was REALLY putting myself out. Not only would it require alot more time/planning and a bit of a headache to do it, but the money involved with the traveling, the lunches/snacks that would be needed for school and the extra breakfast/dinner that would also be provided.. and I stopped still in my tracks and litterally had to ask myself why? Why was I going to re-arrange my entire life for a week for this woman that I have only met twice, and her boyfriend to goto mexico for a week? The answer was.... I have a hard time saying no. I literally feel guilty when I can't help someone. This is something that I really need to work on. Not just saying "no" because I think I would be put out....but paying attention to all of the factors. If it was family/close friend, I am sure I would still do it.. but otherwise, I really need to take a step back and figure out what I would need to do in order to help, rather than just jumping right in and doing it.

I tend to go overboard as well when I help, which I also think that I need to cut back on. Sometimes its about being more balanced and focused in your own life as it is to helping people. Now please do not read into this, as this does NOT apply to my psychic ability at all. I believe that I was given this gift and shown how to use to to help people.. and this will NOT change. I will ALWAYS help my clients to the best of my ability.

just in my personal life, I need to say "no".

here is another example. I have been friends with a girl for quite a few years. Shes been my husbands friends sister (following me? lol) anyways, we haven't really been in touch. Shes in a different city than me, and her brother and my husband dont really talk much (seperate paths). last year, she emailed me to play a baby game. She found out she was pregnant, and wanted everyone to guess the gender/weight..etc. I guessed boy and the date, and emailed her to ask how things were. We exchanged a few emails and I told her to let me know when she confirmed gender (she is not aware of my gifts - its never come up). Well.. no email. As her pregnancy continued, I have seen a few posts on her facebook wall of her pregnancy, no mention of gender. I posted a few hellos to her on her wall, sent her at least two messages on facebook, and no response.. Nothing :( Through mutal friends, have heard she was having a boy and that she was due in July/August. Well, about 2 weeks ago, I got an invite to a baby shower to come and meet the baby on the 16th of this month. My first instinct is to reply yes, and shower the baby with gifts.. Because this lesson had come up before I answered it, I clued in to it on a deeper level. Realizing that perhaps when treated "unfairly" its okay to say "no" to that event. Which is how I replied.. and this is the first time, I did not feel guilty for saying no.

I like to think of myself as a good friend, I am sure at times I have done my fair share of stupid or hurtful things, but they were unintentional and always apologized for if I have ever upset anyone. I really dont like people being mad:) So I think its also as much as "letting go" of someone thats been in your life when you know its time.

I would love to hear anyone elses feelings on this subject.. either life lessons, or perhaps you too taking on more than you should from other people, doing too much..being overly generous and not really realizing it.

Dont forget, the end of this month is the end of the contest for october, and I will announce the winner. So leave an email address or a login name so I can keep track of your "entries"

Can yoga enhance your fertility?

Well, according to the articles that I have been reading online, the debate is still out on that one. They did a controlled group, with some doing the "fertility" yoga and the others just trying on their own. It is said that the ones doing the yoga had a higher rate of conception. They are not sure if its because of the special poses or the fact that yoga helps to reduce body stress and allowed the pregnancy to happen.

So if you have tried everything, why not try this too! Regardless, its going to help you to be more relaxed, more spiritual and more in control.

I located this article that I thought might be useful.

Supported Bridge Pose
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Move your feet as close to your buttocks as possible. Inhale and exhale, and then slowly raise your pelvis and buttocks off the floor, while keeping your thighs and inner feet parallel. Clasp your hands behind your back. Hold this pose, while breathing deeply, for a minute or so.

Legs on Wall Pose
Lie on the ground with your buttocks close to a wall. Slowly inhale and exhale, while extending your legs up the side of the wall. Rest your legs on the wall so that you create a 90 degree angle at your pelvis. Hold for two minutes and then release your legs slowly.

Cobbler’s Pose
Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out straight in front of you. While inhaling, bring your feet towards your groin, and push the soles of your feet together. Slowly try to lower your knees to the ground while holding on to your toes. Hold this posture, without straining your legs, for between one and five minutes.

My mom and I went shopping.....

I know that heading alone is enough to open questions! I went to Zellers with my youngest. She was napping in her stroller, and we headed in. This would have been on Saturday. I usually do some Christmas shopping all through the year and find amazing deals for the people on my list. This christmas is going to be harder than usual as you know my mom passed in march of this year. So its my first christmas without her, and this was the season that was her most favorite. I start walking into the store and to my right, was a women about my mom's height, same hair (a bit fuzzy) same color, same build.. Immediately I think I kinda held my breath. Although I know that she has passed, all my dreams keep telling me shes "alive" (not like we are) and the person there was very much like my mom that my first thought was it was impossible that she was there! That was when I realized, that its times like that, where you can be pretty much anywhere and you see someone who looks exactly liek someone you lost, or out of the corner of your eye, you swear you just saw them pass by.... its your loved ones way of gaining your attention in a prominent manner. They are telling you that they are there RIGHT NOW! This was probably one of the "loudest" messages she has sent and once I clued in that it was a "poke" from her to say "hey I am here" it almost seemed like the energy changed. Like when I was paying attention to the energy in the room and more aware of her close, that I could feel it too.

Too many times when we are preoccupied we dont notice the new vibrations or energy around us and tend to turn off our "psychic ears" so to speak.

I just smiled. I find great comfort in feeling her close by. I drove to her old house on Sunday. As I drove up to her apartment building, my mom's husband was sitting on the chair at the balcony, having a cigarette. My mom smoked as well and I could "see" her sitting in her chair waving and smiling at me.

We can find our loved ones anywhere we look. We might not be paying attention to their every arrival, but they are there. If you are really missing them, try and goto a place that they frequented while here. Or an object that you have of theirs that meant alot to them. I usually just tell my mom (in my mind) that I need her, and would really like to feel her close or to have a sign from her that shes close by. More times than not, I feel an immediate "hug" internally that lets me know shes close....but its always extra special to see the other signs as well.

Where do we go from here?

I had a client recently contact me with wanting to know this information as well as suggested that I perhaps post this on the blog for others that might be wondering the same thing.

First and foremost, from what I have seen and felt, this life is NOT the end. When our bodies die, our spirits are then released. John Van Praagh told us all that there is no pain in death, and that we are all aware of what has happened and at peace with our passing. It tends to be our loved ones who are left here on earth that are more in pain emotionally than the one who has passed. James also mentioned to everyone, that anyone who passes over, will atttend their own funeral or service. It gives them the chance to say goodbye to those that came to pay their respects. For them, its a day of remembering, and don't wish it to be filled with sadness.

Most loved ones who have passed over, will remain here in spirit for a few days to a few weeks. Not because of unfinished business, but because they want to ensure that thier loved ones are dealing with their passing okay. Wanting to ensure that everything is alright and show that they made it with sublte little signs.

After we pass, we seem to go home. From what I have read, its a wide open place. Its almost the same as to what we lived here, but cleaner, more spiritually centred, and just at ease. People are happy and always content and can still fullfill the hobbies and any duties that they enjoyed while they are here. Time is endless, and we all seem to hover in our 30s. (I dont know why, I think I might have picked something in my 20s! lol).

For those of you who have lost a loved one, or someone who is going to pass soon, know that this is not the end. That you will feel the close again. It might take a bit of practice to open yourself up to this new experinece, but there will be times when you know that they are still there, or helping you through certain aspects of your life. During the meditation session with James Van Praagh, its just made it a stronger belief that my own mother who has passed, is never really far.

I know that I told the blog readers before, that its harder for me to cnnect with my mom than it is for me to connect with others who have passed. There is a more emotional connection for me, thus making it harder. But since that session with James, its put a whole new direction for me in the way to connect with her. To be able to feel her close and not just in mind but in body as well.

The one suggestion for those of you who are willing... As for your parents (or others) to write out some memories (good) that they have of you. Either of recent, or when you were younger (or both). As this is a definate keepsake to put aside. Something that you can go back and read and remember your loved one with the happiness of having them in your life and the good memroies, rather than the sadness of them passing and the memories surrounding their death. This is the best way to get through the grieving process and move towards acceptance.
