Who am I?
I'm a lot of things, but it's taken me a while to own them all. I used to preface group mediumship demonstrations by saying, "I'm just a mom, a former accountant, who happens to have a sixth sense." Someone pointed out to me I was playing small. It was true. So here I am, telling you about me.
I was born with a connection beyond the veil. Got caught playing with my deceased cousin at age two, and would have likely continued if my Southern Baptist family hadn't shut that down. Childhood was scary without understanding psychism. Everything went bump in the night and daytime wasn't much better. Spirit would touch or talk to me when I slept and every room I entered had a shadow waiting to transform into a different shape (I learned many years later this is a beautiful form of divination called scrying). I ran to church with my fear. Begged God to take it away or at least help me understand it.
Maybe my prayers were heard, as a path to understanding the unseen found me. When I was 15, I stumbled upon a single shelf of New Age books at my conservative little town's library. After reading just a few pages of Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, I was hooked. Not because astrology was fun, or entertaining, as horoscopes were so considered in the 1990s. It resonated. Made more sense than anything else I'd ever read, and I was an avid reader. By the time I could drive myself to the bookstore 45 miles away, I was well-versed on most topics from the New Age section. I just knew that someday, I would be someone's guru.
But when I was 18, a frightening experience (let's just say it was out of this world) sent me running from anything not firmly rooted in the here and now. Church included.
Until I lost my mom ten years later.
That loss sent me back to the beginning of my search. Back to church. This led to a series of spiritual experiences compliments of charismatic Christian churches that affirmed what I knew as a toddler. There's more to this life than the physical. Heaven is real.
I'll save the story of my awakening for the blog, but fast forward to the present moment and I am happy to say I've found my balance. I'm comfortable calling myself a Christian Spiritualist, but I don't put limitations on my spirituality.
I'm blessed to be the overeducated wife of the most incredible man who makes my heart sing and encourages me to follow my joy. So when I'm not working as a medium and astrologer, I write, write, write. And not just the serious stuff, but fiction, too; I'll soon publish a couple of romance novels (follow my fiction journey here). My most prized role is still Mom. And I'm not playing small when I say that. My kids are psychic little starbursts of love. Making sure they are comfortable in their own skin is the most important job I have.
With that being said, there's not a doubt in my mind God put me on earth to be a medium, a conduit between two worlds. Over time, what that means has evolved.
I have been trained as an evidential medium to offer facts about the life and personality of the departed. In every single client interaction, I aim to give hope that life continues after death. I comfort the bereaved. And I'll use every tool at my disposal--intuitive guidance, mediumship, and astrology--to help clients through decision making. I want people to thrive.
But the larger purpose is to share my understanding of the unseen world. To be to others what I once so desperately needed; a guide to the inner light. Because the divine dwells within each of us.
It's a beautiful thing, to do what I do. I'm here to share it with you. Thanks for being part of my journey.
