Got the email below and thought that I would answer it so that others would get some benefit too.

“I’m 62 and everyday now for about 2-3 weeks I’m receiving a blast of second hand smoke. Can’t see the smoke, but it smells terrible. Hurts my throat and burns my eyes. A friend said to me that an entity is clinging to me but doesn’t know why…..Any ideas…..thank you

ps…Should I sage the house and myself?”

To me secondhand smoke is as horrible as first hand but ghosts do favor letting you know they are there with this type greeting. When getting this type communication it can very well cause the symptoms you are experiencing.

Now to answer what your friend said. Unless you want an entity to cling, then it just isn’t going to happen. Sage or smudge is a good thing. I like smudge because it allows me to go into a meditation quickly but I rarely use it. Smudge is a prayer and if you want to pray, then do so or you can tell the spirit that it is upsetting you and to please stop it. Once you do, it should stop.

Oh and by the way, you can get my book, “Ghosts Talk.” It will tell you all about them.

You know how I spoke of cell phones in cars making my life better because no one acted funny when they saw me talking, hands-free, with ghosts. Well, I have found another item concerning cell phones that helps too. The other day in Wal-mart, one of my favorite shopping places because they have almost everything you could want but they have put a lot of moms and pops out of business so I do feel guilty when shopping there. Anyway, I saw a person talking in one of those little wrap around ear thingies. They were walking along, talking and shopping.

For me that was a wonderful thing. Never mind that you can hear voices often coming from above in Wal-mart without ever seeing a ghost. The new technology is quite exciting for me. With my long hair people can’t tell if I have one of those thingies on or not. When I walk along talking with a spirit, every one thinks I am talking to some loved one on this side. Spirits catch me at some less than opportune times. Before, when I spoke with ghosts, I had people tell me that when I started answering myself they would get worried. With the advent of new cell phone technology, for now, I am safe from the white coats.

Murders are something that, as a psychic, I like to work along with other items that law enforcement might need. But murders, that is my way of giving back. Generally I take the victims roll but there are times that I have been the perpetrator too. That’s not fun because then I get to feel what a killer feels like inside and how they think. Believe me, they don’t think the same way we, so-called, normal people think. Another thing. I don’t think they are crazy either. They seem to know exactly what they want and they don’t care who it hurts. Sometimes, the hurt is what they want, what they find exciting.

There have been times that the murderer asked the law enforcement official with whom I was working if they could meet me. That is really not a good feeling with criminals getting out of prison so early now-a-days. Like a dope, I have said that I would do so but haven’t had to at this time. I did, however, have a murderer come to see me a couple of times. Again, not a good feeling.

Once, a woman handed me a watch with her dead mother’s blood on it. The minute she put it into my hand, I got physically ill, put the watch down and told her there was blood on it. She said, with glee at knowing I was a real psychic, “Yes, she was wearing it when she died. It also stopped when she died.” Something strange happened when I looked down at the watch. It started again after I picked it back up.

Many times I have seen strange things happen while working a murder. I have even been accused of the death until I was able to substantiate that I was nowhere around. But I still love to help solve these horrendous acts.

The other day on the television program, “Numbers,” I heard the best explanation for psychic ability that I have ever heard. And being the way I am since birth, I like to hear reasons for who I am. The explanation was simply that some people’s brains have evolved so much that they are able to comprehend items that others can’t such as: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, mediumship and other psychic abilities.

Just as people have evolved since cave man days, people have also started to add different dimensions to their brain. This is the next step in evolution, one that I have been preaching for years and that is that everyone, one day, will possess this wonderful gift. Then they no longer have to seek out someone like me. When that day comes, this magnificent gift will have evolved so much more than me. I look forward to my next life on earth when I can revel in a new approach for mankind. At that point, I would hope that we love our brothers and sisters, no matter race, sex, or etc. Maybe we will but with mankind there are always those who will seek to use it in some way against their neighbors. Hopefully, with this evolution, people will also become more loving to each other without being hypocritical.

So this also means that I am not weird, as some have said, only progressive. And I can’t say that I am before my time because I am what God made me and what I consented tovbe. Now that I heard that explanation, I realize again that answers come in differing formats just as they always have. After asking, God has always given me the answers even if they were from an unusual source.

Television news is not something I find much solace in. Everything is always so bad. There is rarely anything good on the news. Death and destruction is the general theme. Why can’t someone give news with a more positive slant and with their clothes on too?

News channels are like being with negative people all the time. When people constantly criticize everyone and everything, most don’t want to be around them. These type people never find anything good. They seem to look for the bad. And when you stay around them, you begin to find yourself becoming negative too. The same is sad for the news. I think that’s why people look for television programming that makes them laugh and sometimes cry. They need some relief from negative people and negative news.

I really do love it. I love seeing and talking with the other side too. And I love helping others but, sometimes………

When someone new meets me, instantly ghostly family members and loved ones come too. This happens even when someone I have known for years is around but most often when I meet someone new because the ones who have known me for years have dead loved ones who know I will see them again. So they aren’t too worried about rushing to have me tell them something.

Even when meeting a new person, I may not tell them about the dead loved one unless that dead person is very persistent. Sometimes even pets keep on until I mention them to the person I have just met. But most of the time I am silent.

People, when they find out I am a psychic, tend to request that I give them information right then and there. Sometimes I do if I think they need it but there are times I tell them to make an appointment. Just like a doctor or any other professional person, I have times I like to play without working. I do find, however, that I am an easy touch and will give information when I feel the need. Most often when I think someone can’t afford my rates, I tend to try to help them when I see them. But just like anyone else, I can get tired too.

Another fun term, yeah! I just love it, is, “Well you are psychic. You should know.” I probably do but I don’t want to have to work to get there.

Sorry you get to hear me vent today.

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. This sentence is so true.

One of the most special parts of friendship to me is believing in your friends no matter what. When I came out of the psychic closet, some of my friends turned away from me because of what I had become. Obviously, I had always been the same but their perception of me altered. Because I had kept my secret with only little hints of my abilities, my professed friends thought I had changed. They didn’t ask if I had changed. They took it for granted and left the friendship. Of course I understood this and am still there for them no matter what when they need me.

Since I have come out of the psychic closet, I have made friends who know me for what I truly am. And that is the real mark of a friend. Really taking you for who you are.

To me a friend takes up for you no matter what, then asks later if they were right. They are someone who loves you unconditionally. A friend is someone who tells you when they think you are wrong and will even tell you what they think you don’t want to hear. You can communicate.

With friends, real friends, you are never alone.

Today while traveling by car, I reveled in some of the most gorgeous greenery and the most unexpected Jonquils. They were in patches sometimes few and far between but they looked wonderful to someone traveling for a few hours. When I see sights such as these I start to wonder about how they got there because those type flowers are not something you find growing wild. Generally they had to be planted.

Some of the patches were larger than others and I had to look at the people who had planted them. One especially large patch made me take a psychic look. I can still see a big boned lady, with her hair pulled back in a bun, and in a floral dress bent over tending them. She didn’t even look my way. Those flowers took all of her attention as they did mine. Bet she didn’t know that she would have a woman pass by one day on the interstate and see her beautiful handiwork. My thanks goes out to anyone who plants those first harbingers of spring. And well, and other flower. I do love them.

You know I have decided that cell phones have made me look good. No longer do I catch a person looking at me as if I have lost my everloving mind. Because I am talking with my ghostly friends. Another reason is because of my facial and hand gestures. Before the advent of the cell phone, I got a lot of stares and pointing. Now people just nod and go on. I am just one of the millions who use hands free technology but I still talk the old fashioned way. Now if I could just learn to type.
