One Blizzard...Four Bars...Four Hours...for hours!

1/11/11--12 noon--A blizzard is predicted for this area for tomorrow...12-24 inches.  Though my daughter Ariana went food shopping for me yesterday, I go again today, to get those "just in case" items that one might need if one is snowed in...like chicken, steak, avocado to make guacamole...and Pirate's Booty (yummy!)

1/11/11--2pm--I call Rich (my former husband) to see if I can have the kids overnight (it was his night with them), seeing Austin clearly won't have school.  I told him "I'm ok either way", and he must've really believed me, because he said he was going to take the day off, and was looking forward to spending the day with them.  "Alright, I'll be ok...I'll paint, I'll write, I'll Skype...I'll  be just fine", I say, half saying it to convince myself.

Happy New Year everyone!

There's an advantage to having a Medium in the family...at family gatherings, after the meal I will often link into Spirit, to see what messages they have for us.  My dad died almost 4 years ago, and we all miss his huge presence in our lives. 

So, yesterday, 15 of us gathered for brunch here at my home.  (made the yummiest corn beef hash!)  After the dishes were cleaned...we sat in a circle, each clutching a tissue because we know it would be emotional (for me as well, even as I bring through the messages).  After saying my opening prayer...I sat quietly and pretty quickly felt the presence of my Dad...as well as our uncle, my former husband's father, and my brother in law's mom and dad.  My Dad had me go to each person in the room, giving them a very specific message (like how he's with my sister when she eats "York Peppermint Patties" at her condo...lol...I had no idea!)...and gave us more general guidance for the group as a whole.
