Hello from the lush green gardens &  multi-blue water of Bora Bora! 
How I miss you dear friends. I really do wish you were here, then I really wouldn't have to come home. Lol! My family & I usually take at least 1 trip a year, & this one was much needed. In December I had 4 days off. In January & February  it was a bit better,  7 days! Lol! Good thing I love what I do.  Being away has brought up some interesting feelings for me though.  A good friend of mine recently pointed out to me how much unconditional  unselfish love I give. I never really noticed, to be honest. Being away has made me realize just how much love I give. I miss giving it. I still give love to strangers & unknown/new friends while I travel, but man, I sure do miss my hugs.  I give them freely, as most of you know. People look at me funny when I offer up a hug to a complete stranger, lol..... Can you see me doing it?  Poor Thomas has had enough..... & gives me the look like 'really mum, another one?' lol. Thankfully Kyle loves my hugs, and is such a trooper he never complains. I will say this though, I think the more people I hug, the more balanced I get. Let me explain it this way; back to the theory that we are all energy, when we hug, we share energy, and therefore balance between us. Like balancing polarities. Does that make sense? 
Anyway , on a totally different topic, when we  first  arrived in Moorea, I felt really dizzy. For a long time.  My body had a hard time adjusting to the energy here.  It is very different, very intense.  I even tear up every once and a while. I'll bring home a few stones for those of you that don't want to brave the 14 hour (4 planes) trip.  I'm not sure if I'm tearing up because my soul recognizes its close to home (or maybe home again, past life of course), or if  my body is just reacting to the islands slowly sinking (very slowly, but it's happening). Funny, now that I think about it, I recently cleared a past life in a CCMBA (yes even I do them), where I believe I was in Atlantis, as it was sinking. I was able to get my family to safety, but alas, I drown with the island. WOW! I guess that's what my body is reacting too now. I emotionally released the feelings associated with drowning, and now my body is reacting to the physical feeling of being in a similar energy  again! Amazing! You know life never ceases to amaze me. It is beautiful here, the people are lovely & yes the ocean is so blue it hurts your eyes. It will be nice to come home.... It will be nice to be in my energy again.  I know some of you are saying, 'oh Truly, just meditate to get your energy back'. But it's not that easy guys, honest. I literally feel upside down. I have been trying to meditate, I just can't. I have 3 great guided meditations to listen too, (which btw, the CD will be available very soon) &  I can't get into them. I've tried chanting, I've tried 'be still, know God', and still, no.  I don't want to say I'm a pro at meditating, but I've been doing it most of my life, (at least once a week for many many years).  I can meditate through distractions, like baby's crying (even mine if I know he's safe), through pain (both sitting on a fire-ant hill in Texas & natural childbirth), and motion (like being on a plane or boat). I can't meditate here! I think Kyle knows it too, because he's even offered to send me to the spa! Lol..... Probably because I'm cranky. (but I'd rather take some beautiful black pearls home instead). Oh well, I'll stay swimming and soaking up all the sun I can till I'm home to hug you again. Till then, much love from the South Pacific. Xoxoxo Love & Light, Truly

Hi All!
I will be writing more on this topic soon, but in the mean time here is the technique.....

“Connect Ground Protect”

This is a very easy & simple technique you can use to protect yourself. You can use this multiple times a day. Feel free to bring other things into the protective bubble of white light (for example: your family, your house, your car).

Get comfortable & close your eyes.

Imagine a silver sting coming out of the top of your head. Imagine it going up, through the ceiling, past the roof, up past the clouds, past the sky all the way up past the stars. There it is out in the universe. Now imagine it wrapped around the hand of the God of your understanding.  Give it a good tug, make sure it’s tight. Now follow the string back down, all the way to the top of your head. Allowing God’s love to come down with you.

Now let the love come down through the top of your head, down through your neck, past your shoulders, down your chest, though your arms to your hands, now past your tummy, past your low back and hips. It goes down each leg, past your knees, and ankles to the bottom of your feet.

Now, look down. Ask Mother Earth to support you. See a beautiful mist that comes up from mother earth, surrounding your feet, traveling up your ankles, up past your knees, past your hips & low back, up past your tummy, up your arms and chest. It travels up your neck, all the way up past your head. Feel her love come through the warm mist.

Now, ask divine spirit (or the God of your understanding) to surround you with a protective bubble of white light. (Nothing can come in this bubble unless you invite it.) Now say either “Thank you” or “Amen”.

This is a great way to start a meditation, or anything else for that matter.

It is just my interpretation. Feel free to change it to what suits you.

Love & Light,

Hi Y'all! Sorry its been so long... Life gets crazy sometimes, as you all know.Now that I'm almost back into my regular routine, I'm attending Wednesday Night Open Meditation Classes at the Divine Light Spiritual Foundation. The Teacher is Mrs. Bonnie Galka, a lovely & well educated lady, who gives a very good guided meditation.

Each Wednesday Bonnie asks if anyone has any questions. Since the class is mostly attended by beginners, there is always at least one question. A few questions that have come up recently are: Why can't a Medium or Psychic get the information that I'm asking for?  Why should we seek the guidance of a Medium or Psychic, when the outcome or what they predict can change? and Whats the difference between a Medium and a Psychic?  Lol, of course it is a subject near and dear to my heart.... and Bonnie knows this, so she let me have the floor.

So... There is no guarantee that the medium can see what your asking of them. The thing is, we depend on spirit to bring forward what you need to know. They tell us what to tell you, not the other way around. They bring what they feel is important. Now, you may not feel it is important, but really, who are you to tell them (spirit) what is and isn't important? Don't you think they may know better than you? Also, just because it isn't important to you, doesn't mean its not important to someone else (your spouse, your kid, your friend), anyone you share the information with. You never know, it could mean the world to that other person, and you have no clue that they are even interested.  Now, say you have something in specific that you want to know about. We can certainly ask about it, but spirit may not be willing to share at this time. Yes, we get as frustrated as you do.

The whole point in seeking guidance is just that, to seek information. When you receive that information you have free will to follow it, or to change it. Sometimes just knowing that an event is going to happen stops it in its tracks, or changes the outcome. You have the ability to believe what the medium/psychic says, or you can choose to ignore it. Or say I tell you that I see a car accident in your future. By giving you that information, you will most likely change your driving habits (subconsciously) and may actually prevent it. I have a really great example of this if you ever get the chance to ask me about it.
The 3rd and final question is the one I had the hardest answering. I now realize that I had to live through working this past weekend at Oshawa Rib Fest, to be able to fully answer it. (I started this blog back at the beginning of August!). If you look under my FAQ's page you'll see these definitions:

Mediums ~ A medium has the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. This may be accomplished by channeling, in which the medium acts as a go-between for the other side. A good medium is also constantly updating their education in how to communicate.

Psychics ~ A psychic works at an intuitive level. Individuals who are psychic claim to have the ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses via a "sixth sense" or extrasensory perception.

A medium may have psychic abilities, but a psychic may not be a medium.

I hope that helped a bit. I have found that most psychics don't do anything to keep up with learning new techniques or information. They feel that they do not need to. They just have to practice the gift that they were given.

I had the opportunity to meet a psychic while at the Rib Fest. She was a little perturbed that we (myself and other mediums/psychics) were there. Apparently she has been working Rib Fest since the beginning, and has never had any competition. I will say this, when people came to her and asked for someone who was in my tent, she actually sent them to us! I was shocked to learn that, and accompanied Shannon (the owner of my tent) to thank her for that.  Now.... I found it interesting that I was handed a brochure that talked about her psychic abilities, that she was a healer, reader and advisor (her spelling).  I loved this line on the inside cover "She will tell you why you came and how to solve it".  Other parts read: Let her be your solution. let her amaze you with her healing abilities to clear black magic, bad luck and evil forces! Put your heart and mind at peace knowing you can trust and believe once again. Specialize in removing any sorrow your heart has felt. Call Today for a better tomorrow.

This Amazing Lady is open 9 to 9, 7 days a week! There is a phone number for you to call, but no address..... or NAME? Really? NO NAME? That CANT be a Typo. Sorry, I'm sure someone would have caught that. This brochure has been printed by a professional printer.  I get not having an address on it, as I too work out of my home, but not a name? That I just don't understand. Where is the integrity? Why isn't she proud to put her name to what she does?

We had a few people come to our tent after visiting with her. 2 out of 3 were scared. Honestly scared! She had said that they had been cursed and that she couldn't remove the  curse there, (of course), but that they would have to book a private reading later in the week (of course). Oh by the way, that later reading was to the tune of $300! and that was just the 1st visit, it would take 3 or 4 (but of course). Also if she prays for your soul, that's another fee.

Oh, and don't ask her how she got the information.... she just knows..... really. She doesn't hear, see or feel spirit. None of the information comes from spirit. Just her.

God knows I'm not perfect, but at least I'm honest. I stand behind my work. I am the real deal. And I never take the glory for spirit... as we mediums say... 'From Spirit, THROUGH Spirit, To Spirit." . I'm just the messenger.  I also don't scare people into seeing me again. I actually tell them not to come and see me before 6 months. People need time to let things unfold. I also remind them that they have free will, and that ultimately how their life turns out is really up to them. I try to suggest ways they can improve their life themselves (like through eduction, readings or classes, meditation, physical activity, or by seeking out medical guidance.)

I have testimonials, I teach workshops on self improvement (and don't charge an arm & a leg). I'm constantly taking classes and reading books. I don't gouge when it comes to my fees (private or parties). Everyday I answer questions to clarify something that came up in a reading for a client. I do that at no charge.

I always tell people it's not about the money. I use the money towards my retirement, taking my family on vacation and some of the niceties that life has to offer. I don't need the money. I do it to help. I love to help people connect with their loved ones. I love to help people see different avenues that are coming up for them. I love helping people.

Anyway, I hope that helps people know what to look for when looking for help & answers from the divine (spirit).  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them. I welcome the discussions.

As always, thank you for reading. Sorry it was so long. Love & Light, Truly

And for those of you who have been watching me on T.V., you now know why I say 'spirit says...' As you've learned, Its not my information, its from spirit. Pretty cool eh?

Oh, so much to say.... & I have no idea where to begin!
Ah, ok, so for those of you who are suffering with a bit of the depression bug, I did say to keep an eye out because I'd post a mantra for you on my blog.... "I now go beyond other people's fears and limitations. I am the creator of my life". Depression is about not having the courage to live the life that you WANT, not the life you are handed. In almost every reading I end up speaking about Personal Responsibility. It is one of the 7 principles that I live by, and so very important. There is a sense of freedom when you take responsibility for all of your actions and reactions.  When you can accept that you made that decision, knowing full well that there are consequences (whether good or bad, positive or negative) to each choice, you'll find that you almost ALWAYS feel good about your decision. Other people may not, but life really amounts to what YOU want & how you want to experience it.
This brings me to another very important point, "No one can make you feel anything, unless you allow it".  Let me explain: people cannot force feelings on you. Only you can control your feelings. You can choose to feel a certain way. You can choose to feel hurt. You can choose to feel betrayed. You can choose to feel abused, neglected or battered. No one can MAKE you feel this way. You can also choose to learn the lesson and move on. You can choose to understand. You can choose to accept your role in the situation and change it. You OWN your feelings. So Own Them.
So, approximately 8 weeks ago, I started saying a mantra on a daily basis. If you are a Facebook friend of mine, you'll have seen it a few times as my status. "The Universe Supports Me In All That I Do." This mantra has made a HUGE difference in my life. Honestly. It has helped me to manifest all of the things I want. Well most.... lol. I wanted to be busier in my life (yes, really). I wanted my business to take off. I wanted to be available to my son. I wanted to help my husband. I wanted to have more fun. I wanted to gain more financial freedom. I say this mantra at least once a day. My life has changed in so many ways. The point of my telling you this is: If you don't make your desires known, how can anyone ever help you fulfill them? If you do not ask for help, you will never receive it. I tell clients all the time to put what you want, what you desire, out to the universe (or to God). Prayer is Talking to God, Meditation is Listening to God. Only when we specifically ask for what we want, can our desires be filled.

Lastly, here are a few quotes that have been floating around my head lately (I'm sure they'll be helpful to someone):

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
— Robert F. Bennett

We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
— Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.
— Gary Ryan Blair (Mind Munchies)

Thank You for taking the time to read my thoughts.
Love & Light,
