The Difference between a Medium and a Psychic

Just like there's a difference between ghosts (Earth Bound) and spirits (who have crossed over),
there's a difference between Mediums and Psychics. Sometimes people have BOTH gifts.

SIMILARITY:  Both mediums and psychics have the ability to read energies.

DIFFERENCE: Mediums read energies of people or pets who have passed and provide messages from them.

Psychics can interpret energies that give them feelings about current decisions facing people, like "what career should I go into"" or "should I ask this guy for a date?" Psychics can give guidance on decisions and may even have insight to the future. Mediums do not.

I've found that psychics are also usually mediums, while not all mediums are also psychics.

Karma by the Pants!

The burglar hanging on a fence in Tucson, AZ. Cr: Jesse S
If you missed this in the news last week, a burglar who broke into a school in Tucson, Arizona had karma catch up to him pretty quickly. In fact, when he was leaving, he scaled a spiked fence that caught his baggy pants and turned him upside-down, where he hung until the police arrived. One passerby actually took a picture of him and posted it on facebook!

The Huffington Post said " The man was apparently spooked on the grounds of Miles Elementary School by a locksmith, who reportedly said he saw the man trying to break into classrooms on Friday, a school official told ABC 15. School was not in session at the time."

He was arrested, cuffed and rode to jail in the back of a responding police car. So, when you're thinking about doing something bad, it'll catch up with you, and sometimes, it'll grab you by the seat of your pants.

Tarot Tuesday with Joy Andreasen: King of Pentacles

Here's this week's Tarot Tuesday from my friend Joy Andreasen.  
Joy's description of Today's Card: 
Beware of those with money and power who use that power to step on others. Typically I would look at this card and say yay! You are on top of the world. You are prosperous and have great power. However today I see that foot sticking out covered in armor and stepping on something undetermined. I think Spirit wants us to be mindful of intentions and integrity. If someone is using their position of power and their money to step on those less fortunate, their position means nothing. Let us beware of the power we give them and make sure we are aware. Walk in integrity and you will be okay. Defend the powerless and take a stand to come to their aid. Use your abundance and power wisely.

Q&A: Can I talk with Living Pets/ How Do We Know its Time?

Recently I received the following questions about whether a medium can connect with living pets, how we know it's their time, and do some pets choose how and when to pass. Here are my responses:
Q:  As a medium, can you also connect with living pets?

A:  I'm only able to connect with pets who have passed. Animal communicators specialize in communicating with pets who are still here. Also people who practice Reiki  can do the same. Do a google search for either.


Q:  How do we know if it's time to help our pets cross over?

A: Your dog will let you know when it's time. When he stops eating, then you'll know that he's ready to give up.  If he's in pain, you'll notice a lot of heavy panting. Our Weimaraner has arthritis in her hips, and I found out when she was panting when she walked (Extend joint supplements and Restorapet eased the pain). Regardless, when dogs pant heavily, they are sometimes feeling pain or discomfort. Our dog Sprite let us know when he stopped eating and was unable to get up on his back legs in 2013

Q: Do pets choose when or how they want to pass? 

A: Yes.  A dog or cat, like a person, will determine if they want to pass with their loved ones, or by themselves. Some dogs and cats wander off in the house or backyard to pass quietly on their own. Others want their family around. So watch for that kind of behavior.


Love and hug your cat or dog as much as you can!

IN THE NEWS: Former shelter dog hailed as a hero for finding 3-year-old girl curled up in ditch

Here's an uplifting story for you. A dog that was discarded into a shelter, left to die was adopted only to save an unrelated toddler from freezing to death. We need to understand that dogs are much more than pets. They have intelligence beyond what we can imagine, they have knowledge, a sense of danger, personalities all their own. They are JUST like people and should be treated with dignity and respect. This is just one example of what a dog can do. Amazing.


Former shelter dog hailed as a hero for finding 3-year-old girl curled up in ditch

 By Jennifer Earl CBS News March 21, 2017, 5:27 PM

Former shelter dog, Peanut, is being hailed a hero for rescuing a 3-year-old girl from a ditch in Michigan.
Delta Animal Shelter/Facebook
     A year ago, a 2-year-old dog with broken legs, ribs and a belly full of carpet was fortunate enough to be saved by an animal shelter and adopted into a loving home.
Now, a year later, the dog’s the one doing the rescuing.
      The medium-sized mixed-breed named Peanut suddenly started barking uncontrollably while inside her home in Escanaba, Michigan, Friday morning. The behavior was certainly unusual for the ordinarily shy pup.
     She ran up and down the stairs, barking and yelping until her owner finally let her outside. Once the door opened, the dog barreled into an open field behind the house -- her confused owner following close behind.
Eventually, the dog stopped in front of a ditch, and looked back at her owner.
At first, the man pulled on the dog’s collar to turn back, but then he took a closer look and saw a naked little girl curled up into a ball, shivering uncontrollably in the freezing temperatures. Quickly, he hopped into the ditch and wrapped her in his shirt, running back home with Peanut on his heels.
     The family called 911 as they covered the girl in blankets to warm her up.
“By the time the ambulance and police arrived, the little girl could only say one thing -- ‘doggie,’” the dog’s owner explained in a letter to the Delta Animal Shelter, where they adopted the dog last April. “Thanks to Peanut, a little girl’s life was saved.”
     Michigan’s Delta County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the family’s story in a news statement on Monday, crediting the canine for alerting his owner to the child’s presence.     The little girl was not injured and was transported to a nearby hospital for tests, while deputies went door to door in an attempt to find her parents, authorities said. The parents were eventually located at a house nearby.
“Further investigation unveiled unsafe and unsanitary living conditions at the residence,” the sheriff’s office reported. “Child Protective Services was contacted and the found girl along with another young female were eventually removed from the residence.”
    Police said the case has been sent to the Delta County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
    “Through all of this sad news, give thanks the children are safe,” the Delta Animal Shelter wrote in a post on Tuesday. “The good in this heartbreaking story is the heroism of this former abused shelter dog Peanut, and her wonderful adoptive family.”
The family agreed, praising Peanut for her “sixth sense.”   “Without her, not only would she have been gone from this world, but the life of this little girl might have been taken as well,” Peanut’s owner said.

Tarot Tuesday with Joy Andreasen: Strength




This is a new feature I'm posting thanks to my friend Joy Andreasen.  
I call it "Tarot Tuesday."

Joy's description of Today's Card: 
This card has been coming up a lot lately. It is time to tap into that strength that lies within us to conquer those lions that come across our paths. Those things which can be perceived as difficulties can actually turn out to be our allies when we realize the power that we have inside us to change our circumstances around to our favor. Our words, our thoughts and our beliefs create our experiences. Just for today, take a belief you have about a challenge you are facing and find the blessing. Remember you have the strength inside you to turn anything around.
