Something weird happens in fourteen photos I took on my Sedona trip. I only realized when I got home. Little blue orbs float through some images. Orbs of different sizes appear in different places on the images. Take a look for yourself. My favorite is the orb that seems to have a white halo around…

Abundance of Spirit
I love dragonflies. I love the shimmer of their iridescent wings and how they can zoom in any direction (including sideways and backwards) helicopter-style. But last weekend, I had 11 land on me (I’ve never had one land on me before). It all happened in less than 15 minutes, as I sat on my friend…
Laura’s Gift
My dear heart, Laura, was born 62 years ago today. She has been ‘gone’ nearly 3 years, almost the same amount of time that we were together. And still I feel her presence so sweetly and vividly. I used to think that she was reaching out from ‘the other side’ (wherever that is), but now I…
The Night Visitor
I wake in the sweet spot, the warm burrow of duvet and sheets after a long night’s sleep and feel a tender embrace encircling me; a hand on my cheek, the other stroking my ear, toes gently scratch and tickle the underside of my foot, and arms pull me in close. ‘Oh Laura,’ I sigh…
Bon Voyage
Laura is even funnier now that she is a spirit. I asked her if she is coming to the UK with me tomorrow and she said ‘I’m packed’. I’m glad someone is, because I am not..
Spring into Being..
A little snow and the first sprinkle of Spring flowers this week in Central Park; hellebores, forsythia, magnolias, daffodils and a froth of apple blossom. I love the arrival of spring. I can usually tell when it is about to happen because one little tree on the Great Lawn in Central Park is always the…
Getting Higher..
Sometimes writing down a painful emotion helps release it. After I posted ‘River of Tears’ on Monday, it was as if I had stuck a pin in a balloon or lanced a boil. The negativity and pain drained away. What I’ve also noticed is that once I start to kindle a little joy, it doesn’t…
Little Presents
I was standing in line for the bathroom at Starbucks last Saturday, when the young woman behind me bent over and picked up a dime. Without thinking I said: ‘It’s your lucky day! Do you find many coins?’ She beamed back a lovely smile and said: ‘Ever since my mom passed, I find these dimes everywhere.’ Her…
A Home for the Soul
A lot of spiritual teaching demonizes attachment and encourages us to let go and walk a Buddha-like or Christ-like path. It is almost as if we are being instructed to float above the ground detached from our possessions and worldly attachments. But the wonderful Thomas Moore speaks so eloquently of our soul longings. To him,…
Golden Rain
It is funny, whenever a well-meaning friend or acquaintance hints that I ought to let Laura’s spirit go – as if I’ve somehow got her ghost by the ankles and am holding her captive in this realm – Laura starts being all mischievous and dancing around in front of me. When someone said it on…
The Energy of Things
A dear friend of mine, a celebrated British fashion designer, once told me that she never bought vintage clothes because she didn’t want ‘to get jangled up by other people’s energy’. I never found old clothes or even old furniture a problem. However I do get weird energy off antique jewelry, and I think I…
Sparkles
Surely it is no coincidence that when I revisited my early life (as a warm up to doing the past lives regression) the first image I saw was of my sister and I running around our childhood garden in England waving sparklers. These lights always seemed so magical to me, along with fireflies, strings of fairy…
Good News.
The surgeon is going to do ‘watchful waiting’ with mum’s aneurysms. He is not even going to treat her leg clot (a possible break off piece from the aneurysm) as he said the contrast dye used in the angioplasty operation would hurt her kidneys. So it is back to natural remedies and lots of love,…
Laura’s Gifts
I love birds. But I’ve never had one land on me before. Once a cat fell out of a tree onto my shoulders, but I don’t think that counts. And then today….I got two birds at once! It was a particularly sweet experience because when I left my apartment this morning I said to Laura…
Rumi – The Kiss of Spirit
My iTunes just played Laura’s last phone message : ‘Sweetie, come on back. I miss you wherever you are.’ Then I heard this beautiful Rumi poem for the first time – There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its…
