December 2008

I had to have my precious pet, Misty, put to sleep. She was everything to me and I truly considered her my child, as I do not have any human children. I am struggling over her loss and I am wondering if you would be able to tell me what happens to our beloved pets when they pass. Do they go to our loved ones who have also passed?

~Karen W.,Calgary, Alberta~

Great question. I am very often asked about pets that have crossed over. Anybody who has loved a pet knows that they have a soul. They are a different type of soul, but they certainly have one. Pets "cross over" the same way that humans do. They separate from their physical bodies or change form. They are then healed from any illness, trauma or the limits of age. They are young again and, yes, they do reunite with our/their loved ones on the other side. Many times I have read for someone and their whole family who have passed will come through in their reading. Mom, Dad, young brother, Grandma.... and the whole time the client is holding it together emotionally. Then, as soon as I mention the cocker spaniel.... well, they burst into tears! The unconditional love from a pet can be a very difficult thing to lose. So, never worry if your pet is happy and safe once they leave us.... and always remember, "All dogs really do go to heaven."

My father passed away 16 years ago and I still miss him terribly. My mother misses him just as much. She has not been well and I know that she talks to my father often. Can he really hear her? Sometimes when I am driving, a special song that my dad would sing to comes on the radio. It always happens when I am feeling sad or when my mom has had a bad day. Does he really understand and know what is happening here in our world?

~Bev R., Calgary, Alberta~

Oh yes, Bev. When souls separate from their physical body, they do not go to some far off land or to some vortex somewhere. They still walk among us. They are always very, very close. They are just operating at a vibration that our physical eyes cannot see.

Sometimes they will lower their vibration and we will see them at the foot of our bed or standing in the kitchen. This is usually a fleeting encounter, because it takes a great deal of effort to lower themselves to our level so that we can see them. We cannot see microwaves, radio waves, or electricity, but we understand that it exists. Pets and small children (aged three and under) see them all the time. They do not understand that they are not supposed to see "those people", so they do.

Think of him as your invisible Dad. So, that said, they are always aware of us and the lives that we are living. They are also very aware when we need to hear from them; they are always drawn to who needs them the most. I, too, was missing my Dad one day, so I sent out a thought for him to send me a message that he was close and, within moments, Johnny Cash came on the radio (my Dad was the biggest Johnny Cash fan) and Walk the Line was the song. I played that song at his funeral. Even though I know better than most that my Dad is always around, it was still comforting to hear from him. Remember, they still "walk" with us.

Are there spirits who are deliberately mischievous and give us wrong information on purpose? And, if so, why do our guides stop them from contacting us?

~Christina C., High River, Alberta~

Interesting question. I can only answer this based on my personal experience. I have only had contact with spirits who are friendly, helpful, loving and insightful, souls that work with a higher, enlightened energy. I am sure that there are other souls who operate at a lower/negative vibration. I have never had an encounter that I am aware of, with any of them. I do believe where there is light there is dark...where there is on there is off...where there is good there is also evil. I feel and expect to be very well protected when I do my work.

If you feel a presence that is uncomfortable for you, ask it to leave. You do have control over the visits that you have. As for spirit guides, I believe your guide is your inner voice. That "person" that you talk to all the time within yourself. When we want help, where do we look? We look inside ourselves. All the answers about any of us are inside us. Where else would they be?

I've had so many jobs that have added richer life experiences for me, but I have not found my passion yet.

~Sherry M., Edmonton, Alberta~

You are right. The reason you keep shifting from job to job is because you have not found the right career for you. Thank goodness that the bank did not really work out for me or I would not be working as a medium now. Usually, the main element that is missing in a career that is unfulfilling is that the work you are doing lacks meaning. Teachers and nurses often feel over-worked and under paid, but they do not feel empty at the end of the day. They feel as though they have made a difference.

This brings "Karma" into play. There is no "good" Karma or "bad" Karma, just Karma. Karma is cause and effect, everything that you make other people feel you will feel or experience as well. If you put out good, you will receive good. If you hurt someone, you, too, will feel the same pain, maybe not from the same person, it may come from another direction, but it will come.

So, the easiest way to make a great life for yourself is to work at a profession where you are making a difference, either with people, animals, the environment, etc. If this is not possible, then find some volunteer work. Honestly, spiritually speaking, you will receive more from helping someone, than the person you are helping.

I truly have a charmed life and it is not because I am a medium, but because I help people all day. Be a good person and help other people and you will truly have a blessed life.
