What I Have Been Up To!!

You may or may not know that, oh, around May or so, I decided to take a little haitus. I had been burning the candle at both ends, working full time, marrying people, teaching classes, doing events, private sessions, and, oh let's not forget family time with a hubby, daughter, two stepchildren and three grandchildren.

I was beginning to feel a bit out of sorts. I knew I needed a time out, but obligations I had already booked and regular clients prevented me from completely going off the grid. However, I did slow down tremendously. I removed myself from every event that I possibly could and increased my meditation time and sitting out in nature time.

Right about that time my hubby was approached by a local guy  named David Perry who is the owner of a local intenet television studio called WinLife TV about the possibility of doing a semi-regular television show about various paranormal subjects. My hubby jumped at this opportunity and, oh yes, told me that it was a joint venture and we would be interviewing guests and visiting various sites together. So much for my haitus!

I have enjoyed a summer of weekend trips to various locations, and, yes, I did get to chill at the beach and in the mountains. One hiking trip to an abandoned community  put us in a possible vacarious nearness to what could have possibly been a bigfoot encounter. HaHa and I had no interest really in the possiblity that bigfoot existed but, hey, it is a paranormal show, right?

Our new internet television series is called "Alternate Realities" and so far we have already filmed six shows due to air about once every two weeks on Thursday evening at 8pm.

I am in  a personal year of rest and reflection, and deciding what is worth holding on to and what I am letting go of. I do enjoy teaching classes on various spiritual practices, and, if there is interest, will start doing that again. I do see the need for some connection between those of us in the nontraditional spiritual community, so I am considering once again starting up a once a month get together in my home. This will not begin until next year, only because I have been instructed by Spirit not to plan anything too far in the future right now.

I would love some feedback on what kinds of things you are interested in and would like to see in the near future and if you would be interested in attending in my hometown of Winchester Virginia or at my other location in Herndon Virginia.

In the meantime, here are the links to the two already aired "episodes" of our new show, "Alternate Realities". I hope you will watch and give us some love and support on this new venture!

This link will take you to the first episode, where we talked about our vision for the show and bringing awareness of different "paranormal" subjects out into mainstream.. paranormal being not just ghosts and monsters but anything that is out of the ordinary...

Here  is a link to the website of WinLife TV where you will see our show and the other shows on the site. As I went on to the site I notice that we are at the top of the page! Yay! Our first episode, other than the one in which we talked about ourselves, is an interview with the president and co-founder of the Monroe Institute, Nancy McMoneagle. We talk about out of body experiences, remote viewing, astrology, and so much more!

Clck Here to watch the first episode with Nancy McMoneagle.

I hope you enjoy watching our show and stay tuned for what is coming up soon, not only on this show but also in life! I hope to connect with you soon!

Evening with John Tenney

Saturday night I was privileged to meet and spend some time with John Tenney, a paranormal researcher and lecturer. He has appeared on such shows as Paranormal State, and spent the last twenty years or so researching anything thought to be out of the norm. Over 45,000 people have attended his lectures over the past two decades. He was a researcher for the long running television series Unsolved Mysteries and has extensive knowledge concerning conspiracy theories, cryptozoology, and UFO phenomenon.

What fun!! John Tenney met all of my expectations, and more. Not one of those guys that hangs out in his room until the lecture, he loves to meet people and talk, sharing his thoughts and observations. After the lecture, John sat around in the restaurant/bar area for hours just tossing around ideas to those who had questions.

I love his answer when asked does he believe in ghosts. Despite the fact that he has had experiences that would make even the biggest skeptic a believer, John Tenney maintains that he doesn't believe in anything. Believing in something causes any other possibility to be out of the question. When you believe beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are right about something, then you cease to question. You cease to seek for answers. You cease to look for other possibilities. Question everything, he suggests.

There is always someone out there who has an idea or a philosophy that they are trying to get you to latch onto. There is always someone who is changing facts so that they can manipulate your feelings or beliefs. The truth is, nothing is black and white. For centuries we have believed philosophies just because we did not know that there was any other way to think. The most important thing we can do is educate ourselves, ask questions. Don't believe something just because I say it is so or someone who has some clout says it is so or every generation for the past thousand years says it is so.

Is an orb a camera flare or is it a spirit? Are there UFO's? Are ouija boards evil? These are some of the subjects John touched on in his lecture. If you would like to hear his take on these or some of the other subjects regarding paranormal activities, you can purchase his books or check out his website, or even find him at different events around the country.
