Hello from the Other Side

Dec 17, 2015 | Other Side

My Nana called on Sunday…from the Other Side. Last week, we found her old cell phone in the bottom of a drawer. At age 90, she passed away in the fall of 2014, so the phone obviously no longer has service. But my seven-year-old, Truman, didn’t care; he...

Yesterday, I posted this on my Facebook page and the words, which found their way to and through me over a year ago, have struck a chord with many. So, I’m making this available as a free printable (just click on the image and save or print). Feel free to...

6 heaven-sent signs to watch for

Dec 23, 2014 | Angels, Other Side

To kick off the holidays, we had a family movie night on Sunday. We dimmed the lights, I lit the five votive candles that spell out P-E-A-C-E on the mantel, and we all snuggled up for the A Muppet Christmas Carol. A few minutes into the movie, one of the candles blew...

Apr 23, 2014 | Intuition, Other Side

I think I have something in common with police sketch artists. You know, the ones who visualize and draw images of criminals based only on descriptions from others? When those artists later see what a captured criminal really looks like, that’s where our...

The Sixth Sense: There’s Something I Need To Tell You

Jun 18, 2013 | Intuition, Other Side, Parenting

Dear Ones, I’ve been playing a game of tug-of-war with myself lately, toying with the idea of revealing a deeper truth here. Super scary. But last night, I got a little message that gave me a surge of confidence (you know how I love a good sign!). I was putting...

Look Who’s Calling: Talking To The Other Side

Oct 20, 2011 | Gratitude, Other Side, Peter Benson

First, let me say how much your comments and emails and tweets lifted me up after my last post. Wow. You are all so wise and thoughtful; I truly have the best readers ever. Some of you urged me to watch for signs that my dad is still around me. Oh, I do! And he has...

ANGELS EVERYWHERE.

I’m on a mission to normalize talking about the magic that exists within us and around us. After years of hiding my lifelong relationship with the angels, I finally realized that gift was there for a reason — and that tons of other people are hiding their own amazing gifts, mystical experiences and curiosities about this great big, benevolent universe we’re part of. I started this blog in 2006 to have a place where we can talk about it all!
