Priceless

I just got off of the phone with my friend Camille. I did a couple of short discernments for her coworkers a few days ago. 

She wanted to tell me that both of her coworkers commented on how much more peaceful they felt after I reconnected them with their loved ones. Camille commented that one of them didn't feel "prickly" anymore, and even the energy in her office was more approachable. 

That's why I do the work I do. The money I charge is because I do this sort of thing full-time and I have to pay my bills. When people say that I do it for the money, I just think they're saying that because it's why they would do what I do. 

Honestly, when people pay me they're paying me for my time. The peace of mind they receive afterwards is priceless. 

I just finished a book this morning. I won't mention the name of it because I wasn't impressed, in the least. The book was an autobiography about a psychic who does ghost hunting. My problem with it is that it seemed to be written largely by her editor. There were a lot of things in there that just don't square with, well, with my experiences as a ghost hunter. 

Before I started doing working full time as a Medium, I spent 20+ years hunting ghosts. Yup, "I was country when country wasn't cool!" to quote a country music hit from almost 30 years ago. In fact, I was working as a country disc jockey when I first started investigating hauntings. You see, the radio station I was working at was haunted. 

It's a long story, but essentially, I thought I was losing my mind with the way things were going on around the radio station. Then one night I showed up for work on a night I wasn't scheduled to be on air. Sitting there with two other disc jockeys, chatting, one of them asked if either of us experienced the "ghost." 

When she shared the story of "Edward," the station's ghost, suddenly everything made sense to me. So I wasn't going crazy! I did all sorts of research as far as the ghost, talking to employees who knew him (Edward was a disc jockey at the station when he was murdered by his wife), and collecting stories about their experiences. 

Back then it wasn't as popular to be doing that sort of thing as it is now. In fact, I was openly laughed at more times than I care to remember. Still, I was hooked! 

I started helping people who thought their house or business was haunted but didn't want to say anything for fear of being ridiculed. Slowly but surely, I learned the craft of investigating reports of hauntings, apparitions, and poltergeist activity. It was during this time I found out that I was not only psychic, but could communicate with those who have died. 

Having done this sort of thing for close to 30 years, I know what does and doesn't happen in a typical haunting. It's not what most people doing this sort of thing now would have you believe. So when I finished reading the book, I couldn't help but be grateful I'm no longer in that field. At least not as much as I was. 

Now I'm helping people find peace of mind in a different way. 

Blessings,
