Strange Magic

When I came back from England last week, I walked into my apartment and noticed immediately Laura’s photograph had moved. It was folded up flat and lying neatly on the bookcase.  It looked so odd. So deliberate. My first thought was someone  has broken in.  But that’s nuts. Who would break in to rearrange the decor?…

The Dating Coach

It’s nearly four years since Laura passed and recently I’ve dipped a toe into dating again. I am having a lot of fun. And Laura seems to be having a lot of fun too. She made a rather loud and unexpected appearance in the middle of a recent dinner at ABCV – Jean Georges Vongerichten’s…

Two Hearts Entwined

Sitting on my little mossy green meditation cushion giving thanks for all the blessings in my life, I’ve noticed recently the most beautiful things keep passing by my windows.  I live on the 28th floor of an uptown Manhattan apartment building, so my normal neighbors up here are helicopters, blimps and the odd seagull surfing…

Talking To Spirit

Today I heard Esther Hicks (or rather the spiritual entities that  Esther channels) explaining how to talk to departed loved ones, and revel in their unconditional love.  Esther lost her husband Jerry a few years ago.  But he is still a very playful presence in her life.  I was so delighted when I heard this…

When I was very little I often wondered why I couldn’t hear anyone else’s thoughts. It seemed so strange to me. I felt sure I should be able to hear everything. At times I felt limited by my body and I would dream I could lift off, fly and be free. Now I know we…

The Reverend Gino Concetti, chief theological commentator for the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore, told the British newspaper The Observer: “Communication is possible between those who live on this earth and those who live in a state of eternal repose, in heaven or…

Swoon

I’ve come to believe that talking affectionately about departed loved ones conjures them up. It is like rubbing the lamp to summon the genie. A friend and I summoned her departed mother this week. We began by talking lovingly about her mother, did the steps of the reconnection ritual Sue Frederick taught me during the…

Loving Laura

Laura is very present to me now as a powerful and comforting spiritual presence.  If you’ve been reading this blog you’ll know that since Laura passed I’ve been seeing firefly-like lights, hearing words of encouragement in my head and experiencing our computers and iPods suddenly play our favorite songs. And I am delighted to report…
