With all of my children, I have taken time while they were in utero to connect with their spirits. With Lucas, in the midst of my anxiety about his health, I connected to a sweet, caring spirit assuring me that all was well. With Maya, I experienced very clearly the depth of her earthy, wise [...]

My journey thus far with my children has been the greatest gift in my life; a daily, heavenly communing with bright souls I love so much. I am very satisfied with my two children. Which is partly why we took so long to commit to having a third child. And we weren’t the only ones worried [...]

Many of these same mothers and fathers are those who were wounded by the experiences of their past. Often those who knew the pain of abandonment in their [...]

You better watch out, you better not cry, You better not pout, I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town!
