The Secret to Using Intuition to Manifest

Posted on March 19, 2023 | Leave a comment

After several years of hosting summits for The Shift Network, I’m now being invited to be a guest speaker on other summits! Check out Di Challenor’s upcoming summit. where we’ll be talking about “shape shifting” into your healthiest, happiest self!

Are you struggling in life, trying to figure out how to make it in the world? If you’re anything like me, you are currently or have previously struggled with finding love, making love work, creating financial freedom, health, weight, and so on. There are so many things I could list, but you understand where I am coming from. Life can be hard, and the struggle is real, but does it have to be?

There is a solution: surrender to what you desire, but what does that mean exactly? Do you agree that most of us would surrender if we knew what that meant and what the process was?

We don’t come with a handbook on how to be, do, and have. We aren’t sure of the process, and it might be different for each individual. Surrender, though it may not seem like it, is an action, and you have to take action to be able to heal and manifest anything.

I’m going to encourage you to take action by registering for this event where you’ll get answers 100% for free! It’s for people who want to learn how to surrender in order to heal their lives.

In addition to me being a featured speaker, there are many other incredible talents from all walks of life who will cover their version of surrender that could change your life forever. There is always a spark, a decision, or an experience that shifts your life forever. Don’t you want to have control over what that will be?

It’s true, surrendering gives you more control over what you bring into your life and what you manifest. If you are reading this, then it’s not too late for you. It’s possible to create a life you want to wake up to each and every morning; it’s time to learn the power of action, trust, and surrender…

Register at https://dichallenor.com/LisaBonnice to receive a step-by-step guide on how to heal your life and manifest the life you desire. The answers are on the other side of Connecting to Your Intuition: How to Surrender to Heal Your Life and Manifest Anything! With over 15 episodes, you’ll be able to carve out a plan to reach your goals that works for you!

Are you ready to start living and thriving the way you want to, living life on your own terms?

I asked them not to air my session, but changed my mind

Posted on January 28, 2023 | 1 comment

During many of the summits I host for The Shift Network, I am also interviewed as one of the experts in the summit’s topic. Afterwards, I always feel like I’ve overshared. I’m afraid that, to the mainstream world, I’ll sound airy-fairy and woo-woo, if not downright nuts. This is my most personal and vulnerable summit session to date, and I almost let my fear of judgment win. 

I’ve hosted five annual summits on the topic of ancestral and inter-generational trauma/healing and I’ve been doing ancestral work myself. In fact, that’s one  reason I suggested this topic to The Shift Network all those years ago, because I wanted to have conversations with experts and others who are doing the work. Countless people have been helped over the years with these free summits. Where else can you access so much wisdom, packed into one week?

Even while I was being interviewed for the Ancestral Healing Summit 2023, though, I was aware that I was saying things I would later regret and said to Vanessa Codorniu, the guest host, that I felt like I was sharing “too much information”. That’s apparently an aspect of being a Sagittarius … putting your foot in your mouth.

Before the interview, I was excited to talk about what I’ve learned. After many years of dedicated focus on my ancestors, my life has dramatically improved. I wanted to share tips and anecdotes to help viewers better understand how to not only heal ancestral trauma but also tap into the strengths and skills mastered by those who came before us, because it’s not all pain and suffering — there are a lot of juicy talents that can be passed down, but only if they’re not being blocked by all the damage done over the years by people just being people.

Because I was safe in my own home, just me and Vanessa chatting over Zoom, I allowed myself to forget that strangers will be watching this. I shared personal stories and private discoveries made while using tools like shamanic journeying, generational regression, genealogy research and divination. I think I even said something like, “I know this will sound crazy, but …” and kept plowing onward.

At about 3:30 that next morning, I was wide awake, worrying about it. “What did I say? Did I embarrass myself? Why can’t I just shut up?” I reached over to my nightstand and picked up my phone, and quickly sent a message to Amanda, my Summit Manager at Shift, saying that I wanted to cancel it. Please delete the recording. I don’t want it to air.

Fortunately, Amanda (one of my favorite people) suggested that I watch the recording and think about it, so I did. It’s funny how I didn’t look at all like I felt inside, like I was screaming at myself “Shut up! Shut up! STFU!!!” So I changed my mind about letting it air and decided that I just won’t promote it publicly. The Shift Network audience is like-minded. They’ll get it. I’ll keep it between us.

But here’s where some of that ancestral healing comes in. One of my dysfunctional ancestral patterns was that voice telling me to shut up: “Don’t air family laundry in public. Don’t attract anyone’s undivided attention. For God’s sake, just shut up.”

Out of respect for the person who pounded this into my psyche, I won’t name who it was, but she knows. I’ve spent the past several years making peace with what she taught me (which she was taught by those who came before her).

I’ve realized that this inner voice has been holding me back my entire life. For crying out loud, it’s in my astrological and numerological makeup to write, speak in public, and put myself out there. It’s not out of a vainglorious need to be seen, it’s just who I am. And this “STFU” voice is the absolute antithesis of who I am.

Because I’ve been doing the work — diving deeply into the stories of those who came before me, without whom I wouldn’t be who I am — I’m able to take a chance on me, and I feel one specific ancestor’s pride in both of us, for the healing work we’ve done together.

Here are some of the topics I discussed during my interview, which airs on Tuesday, January 31 at 2PM Pacific time.

  • you may have dormant psychic abilities that your well ancestors  mastered in their lifetimes, and they can help you strengthen and hone them
  • your greatest fears in this lifetime may be ancestral “memories”
  • this work may not always be easy, but the results can be miraculous

If you miss it, you can always watch it later as long as it’s within 48 hours of the original airtime. The Ancestral Healing Summit is a free event, which streams online the week of January 30 through February 3, 2023. The only cost is if you choose to purchase the upgrade package, which allows you to keep the recordings and all the bonuses in your digital library.

I’ll be in the chatroom, live, if you want to say “Hi!” I hope to see you there!

P.S. Here’s a sample of what the illuminating speakers will be sharing with you in the Ancestral Healing Summit…

  • Thomas Hübl will explore how you can tap into your ancestors’ strengths while also acknowledging and healing the intergenerational trauma and patterns that have been passed down through your DNA

When the veil between the worlds is thinnest …

Posted on October 30, 2022 | 1 comment

Explore the science & mysteries of near-death experiences, mediumship & the afterlife. Receive expert guidance to explore your soul’s journey, navigate life’s transitions & live more fully during The Shift Network‘s FREE Beyond the Veil Summit.

All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
― Walt Whitman

Are you seeking to understand more about the process we all go through as we die? Do you hope that your own consciousness (what some call the eternal soul) will continue to exist after your physical body is gone? Have you wondered how to ease the transition from this life to the afterlife for a loved one who is dying? 

Instead of viewing death as something to be ignored until it catches up with you despite your best attempts to outrun it, what if you could instead — right now — access a peaceful feeling of open acceptance combined with a curiosity to learn more about the process…

… so you can help yourself and your loved ones make the most of that amazing crossover journey when the time comes? 

One of the most beguiling invitations of the Beyond the Veil Summit is to dance with the wonders of the afterlife, which paradoxically helps you embrace the present moment with joy and awe  —  I’m alive! What a gift!

There’s now a plethora of new scientific evidence to support what religious and spiritual traditions have pointed to for millennia — that there is life beyond the physical world that we perceive with our five senses. 

There’s a growing community of heart-centered scientists and physicians, mediumship practitioners, hospice workers, and others who have explored the same questions… 

… and many of the most prominent of these experts have gathered to share their revelatory experiences and insightful methods of navigating “paranormal” experiences around death — and connecting safely and meaningfully with loved ones who have passed on.

This summit gives you access to revered wisdom traditions and practical modern teachings that encourage you to embrace the grieving process, bringing closure, peace, and acceptance in the arenas of death and the afterlife. Expect to emerge transformed — without fear of the unknown holding you back from embodying your fullest expression of this amazing life you’ve been given.

Free Online Event
Beyond the Veil Summit
October 31 – November 4, 2022

 

The summit really is free to watch during the week it streams online. The only cost is if you choose to purchase the upgrade package so you can own the recordings for your digital library.

During the Beyond the Veil Summit, you’ll hear illuminating insights from over 35 seasoned mediumship practitioners, channelers, “returnees” from near-death experiences, researchers, scientists, medical professionals, hospice workers, death doulas…

… and experts who can communicate with those who have crossed over (and can teach you how to do the same). 

Let these teachings and guidance touch your heart, heal your wounds, enlighten you, enfold you with comfort, and ultimately draw you toward a deeper place of peace as you approach the subjects of crossing over, the experience of death, the afterlife, and the celestial realm with a deeper sense of awe.

Here’s some of what our brilliant speakers will be sharing with you…

  • Suzanne Giesemann will reveal effective tools and processes designed to part the veil, to directly experience the reality of who you truly are.
  • Co-authors Eben Alexander, MD, and Karen Newell will discuss Eben’s dramatic near-death experience, and how it profoundly affected his beliefs, values, and worldview.
  • Mark Anthony will explain his RAFT technique to Recognize contact with spirits, Accept it as real, Feel it without fear, and Trust in the experience.
  • Dr. William Bloom will share concepts, insights, and practices so that you yourself can feel and perceive the dimensions and beings beyond the veil. 
  • Julie Beischel, PhD, suggests that love seems to be a universal force keeping us connected to the departed, and that unwanted symptoms of grief can be alleviated by recognizing these continuing bonds.
  • Marie Manuchehri, RN, will discuss how increasing the vibration of your energy particles opens the door to the other side, expanding your natural multisensory abilities.
  • Shelley Kaehr, PhD, will lead a guided meditation to help you access a personal healing space, where you can meet a trusted guide or angel to assist you on your healing journey.
  • Rob Schwartz will narrate stories of pre-birth planning and explain the main reasons why we plan our greatest challenges before we’re born.
  • Indigenous medium Shawn Leonard will unveil how to receive messages from the spirit world using the universal language of spirit communication.
  • Gregory Shushan, PhD, will explore the relationships between near-death experiences, shamanism, reincarnation memories, psychic mediumship, and beliefs in life after death. 
  • Psychic medium and kidney transplant recipient Ericka Boussarhane will present a compelling exploration of mortality, the afterlife, grief, synchronicity, and beyond-the-grave communication. 

RSVP here for the Beyond the Veil Summit — at no charge:

Warmly,
Lisa   

P.S. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll receive during this illuminating event:

  • How to differentiate your mind chatter from messages from spirit
  • The 4 main ways you can naturally connect with loved ones on the other side
  • We all have “Spirit Teams” cheering us on and guiding us toward opportunities for soul evolution

Help! I need hired help!

Posted on October 1, 2022 | Leave a comment

I desperately need/want to hire someone to clean my house. Here’s why I need/want but can’t/won’t.

  1. I hate hate hate hate hate housework, so;
  2. it doesn’t get done as often as it should, so;
  3. my house would not pass the white glove or white sock test, and;
  4. the worse it gets the worse it gets.

Add these facts:

a) I injured my lower back when I was young so, now that I’m old, it’s painful and difficult to clean anything below knee level (please don’t look at my baseboards or the lower parts of my kitchen appliances, or the lower tiles in the shower;
b) I work a lot of hours and don’t have a lot of time/energy for cleaning beyond basic dusting, vacuuming, dishes and bathroom;
c) Jeff isn’t any better at this than I am and contributes his fair share to the mess.

So, now:

  • I’m embarrassed to have anyone come to my house;
  • That includes a cleaning crew.

This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the mental gymnastics I put myself through when I consider researching the right service provider and making the call to schedule a visit.

Do I have to explain to them why the house is in this state? Are they going to judge me? How can they not?

I’m already uncomfortable having strangers in the house. How do I know I’m not bringing sketchy people into my home?

How much is this going to cost? What’s a fair price? Do I tip?

I work at home and it will be weird having people here cleaning while I’m here. It would be weirder to have them do it when I wasn’t here.

And let’s not even start with the feminist rage that goes along with being reared in a society where this was “woman’s work” even if she didn’t make the mess and she just so happens to detest this kind of work.

I was strictly raised to know that if a house isn’t spotless, it’s the woman’s fault and this is a great failing. Shame. Shame. Shame.

No, really. Shame.

Not kidding. Lots o’ shame.

Whoever comes to my house to clean will be right to judge the unholy f*ck out of me.

Because … you guessed it … shame.

Bad Lisa. Bad.

Shame.

Then of course, there’s the well known fact that I need to clean before the cleaners come and, since I can’t do that, I can’t make that call. It’s a vicious cycle, a downward spiral.

Please tell me it’s not just me and, if you’ve been in this boat, tell me how you got to shore.

Did I mention the pet hair everywhere? No? Well, here’s you a dog, to help clean that up.

Solve your body’s mystery symptoms

Posted on July 17, 2022 | 2 comments

I’m hosting The Shift Network’s second annual Intuitive Medicine Summit, a free online event from July 25-29, 2022. I love hosting these summits because I get to talk to some of the most interesting people on earth about ways that we can participate in our own healing, and not just rely on someone else to “fix” us. 

For example, this year I talked with Marie Manuchehri about accessing help from the “other side” to solve health issues, and Dr. Keesha Ewers about the link between childhood trauma, intuitive abilities, and adult illness. I also spoke with Dr. Titus Chiu about vagus nerve activation to unlock your intuition, creativity and healing.

I also hosted a panel discussion with the founders of the National Organization for Medical Intuition (NOMI) Wendie Colter, Dr. Tiffany Barsotti, Cay Randall-May, Dr. Maria Gentile and Elizabeth Thorson about their dedication to the advancement of professional Medical Intuition and their vision of a world where medical intuitive practitioners are accepted in clinical healthcare as well as in private practice. 

Tina Zion shares wisdom about tapping into your own intuitive abilities to help yourself and others, and Dayna Macy offers helpful advice about listening to your body’s signals with regard to overeating and which foods will best serve its optimum functioning. Masami Covey talks with me about burnout and compassion fatigue and how these don’t have to be viewed as negatives … they may actually be our intuition trying to tell us something!

Anyone who has been frustrated with undiagnosed symptoms or who may be struggling to work within the sometimes counterintuitive mainstream medical field will find valuable information here. 

The best thing about Shift Network summits is that they are free to watch online during the week they air. Each session replays, free, for 48 hours after its airtime. The only cost is if you choose to purchase the upgrade package to add the recordings and special bonuses to your digital library. There’s so much more I could tell you, but I think you’d be better served to see for yourself. Register here for the FREE Intuitive Medicine Summit and check out the power-packed lineup of speakers. You’ll be glad you did.

International travel in uncertain times

Posted on April 25, 2022 | Leave a comment

My husband and I, like many other people, have been desperate to travel. Our trip from the US to Scotland has been postponed since Covid reared its ugly head in 2019. A couple months ago it began looking like the pandemic would soon be in the rearview mirror, so we snagged some airline tickets and booked our gas/food/lodging. Then, Covid bounced back with yet another variant and our trip has turned into a house of rearview mirrors.

There are so many things to consider now that travelers never had to think about before:

  • Are the places we want to visit even open?
  • What are the local mask mandates and what’s the current mask status for US airports and flights? Will it change … again? Should I wear a mask anyway, even if I don’t have to? Will my fellow passengers behave like a-holes if I do or don’t wear one?
  • Will any of my flights be cancelled? The airlines are having a hard time staffing and flights are being cancelled left and right. Our airline, specifically, has flights falling off the schedule like dominoes.
  • If we are cancelled, what’s our Plan B?
  • Will we be able to get to the other terminal and through the passport/security check between our connecting flights in time, since so many other people are traveling now as well?
  • How the heck do we get that damned required Covid test to re-enter the US?

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. We also have to test at home before we go, not because it’s legally required to travel to the UK, but because if either of us test positive, we can’t/won’t go. Thank goodness we bought travel insurance (this is our first time doing so … previously, we took our chances and always got lucky).

Then, by law, we have to test negative the day before our flights home in order to return to the US, which means we have to figure out how/where that works. I’ve read so many conflicting reports that it seems there is no standardized method. This makes my head hurt and definitely takes a lot of fun out of the trip.

Then, if we do test positive, we have to figure out what to do, where to stay, how to pay for it? Yes, travel insurance is our friend, but that’s not immediate relief. We have to have a Plan B set up for this possibility.

Chances are very good that we will not get infected: we’re both vaxxed and boosted, and we both had Covid this year. So, yeah, slim chances, but never say never with this virus. Expect the unexpected — make like a Boy Scout and be prepared.

Here are a few helpful hints I’ve discovered:

  • Working with a travel agent is a huge stress reliever. Rickesia Macon of K.I. Home & Away has been a godsend.
  • Hang out in Facebook travel groups. They are populated with people who are in the exact same boat, and are happy to share information and advice.
  • An app called TripIt looks really helpful. Enter your trip info and you and your traveling companions will each have it handy, on your phones. I haven’t used it yet on an actual trip, but it’s filled in and ready for even my tech-challenged husband to use!

One week from this moment, God willing and the creek don’t rise, we’ll be drinking a pint in an Edinburgh pub. Meantime, I’ll keep you posted if/when I discover any more helpful hints.

“There’s a power in words …”

Posted on April 23, 2022 | Leave a comment
“… if I can find the right one, if I can just know you …”
(see the video clip, below)

That’s how this scene from Doctor Who begins, from one of my favorite episodes, The Shakespeare Code. You don’t have to be a Doctor Who fan to get the Aha! moment I just had that reminded me of how The Doctor vanquishes an evil foe’s power simply by naming her. “There’s a power in words …” he says.

I’ve recently been dealing with some scary health issues for which I’ve been struggling to receive a diagnosis. Not knowing what’s “wrong” has been excruciating. The anxiety alone magnifies any symptoms. It’s a vicious cycle, a downward spiral so severe that even my most upbeat, heal-thyself methods have not been working.

Finally, though, I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on inside. Thank goodness it’s nothing fatal, but it is challenging. This knowledge alone has vanquished the anxiety’s power to curl me up into the fetal position. Naming the “illness” gives me power. Now I know what I’m dealing with.

There’s a power in words.

I’m reminded, more importantly, of the work of a man I’m grateful to call a friend, Paul Levy, who writes and teaches about a “mind-virus” called wetiko. Essentially, wetiko is all-the-bad-things, which are running on a loop below the surface of consciousness, mucking everything up. The only way to dissolve wetiko’s power is to see it, to name it. This is why those “Aha!” moments are so healing.

Paul does a much better job explaining it than I do, so check out his newest book. The reason I bring up wetiko here is that this is how I feel about naming my symptoms with a diagnosis.

I see you. I name you. You have no power over me.

(For my fellow Whovains, here’s another fine example of wetiko as dramatized by Steven Moffat … The Silence.)

Is there anybody out there?*

Posted on April 13, 2022 | 1 comment

Social media is a strange sport. On one hand, it feels madly egocentric to think that anyone out there cares what I have to say. On the other hand, some of the most entertaining things I find online are shared by people just like me.

On a third hand (my blog, I get to say how many hands we’re working with), as a published author who would like to be more widely known, I’m required to somehow “grow an audience”. Publishers demand that authors market their own books. Unlike the olden times, when the publishers took care of all that, the responsibility now falls into the author’s lap. Otherwise your books don’t get published or, if they do, they can sit on a shelf, unsold, collecting dust (although Fear of Our Father is still selling well in bookstores, almost ten years later).

It’s a huge source of frustration. This isn’t something I’m good at or even interested in. If I’ve got something to say, I post it on Facebook (yes, showing my age, even if I do have accounts on Instagram and Twitter … no TikTok … too old for that).

Plus, this kind of thing is a lot easier if you write non-fiction. You can share advice, words of wisdom and pithy posts that attract people to the depth of your knowledge. I write (mostly) novels. What’s a fiction author got to offer a social media audience?

Even so, I have a decent start at a following, and more than one book I’d like to get seen, with new ones on the way. So … I have a question for those of you who are following me on any of my socials … why are you following me? What do you want to talk about?

Okay, that’s two questions. My blog, I get to say how many questions we’re working with.

*I know this is bad grammar, but it’s Pink Floyd song (again, showing my age by even knowing about it):

How can you help change the world?

Posted on January 17, 2022 | Leave a comment

If you, like so many others, are wondering what you can do to help humanity find its way through these strange and transformative times — especially if your skill-set doesn’t include inventing new ways to adapt to climate change or running for political office — Ancestral Healing is something you can do to help.

Our current world’s condition is the culmination of centuries of built-up, unhealed traumas and our ancestors are clamoring to us to help right their wrongs, before it’s too late. 

It’s time for The Shift Network’s fourth annual Ancestral Healing Summit, a free online event from January 18-21. 

Many of us are finding that this powerful and important work is exactly what we’re here to do. We are, as Heather Dane calls us, Generational Pattern Shifters. We feel an urge … we hear a calling … to work with our ancestors to heal not just our own dysfunctional family patterns, but global damage done to and by generations past in the forms of plagues, diasporas, holocausts, slavery, colonization, wars and other extreme traumas that are still causing ripple effects today.

You can register for free here.

This year’s summit includes powerful conversations with luminaries like Thomas Hübl, Sandra Ingerman, Christina Pratt and Jill Purce. We discuss the big picture and our places in it, and what our contributions to global healing can be.

Even more conversations include practical tools we can use to communicate with our ancestors to ask for their help and work with them, hand in hand.

Shelley Kaehr talks about generational regression, which is similar to past-life work, except that we can be regressed into ancestral storylines. Masami Covey shares how our bodies demonstrate ancestral traumas, and how to interpret the stories they’re trying to tell us. Kelly Sullivan Walden offers an excellent method of tapping into ancestral messages via our dreams.

Carrie Paris offers a practice using phases of the moon to release ancestral family patterns, and Nancy Hendrickson talks about how we can use the Tarot to divine messages directly from Spirit, and our kin, to help us along our path. Fern Vuchinich and Christina Caudill both offer information about how astrology can help us dig in to our stories and untangle snarled webs.

Dr. Velma Love offers a beautiful and empowering reframing of the experience of enslaved peoples. Liza Miron discusses the repercussions we are all feeling due to generations of our grandmothers experiencing painful loss of pregnancies and difficult childbirths, and Langston Kahn offers a perspective on healing the “father wound”.

Ancestral Healing is breathtaking in its scope — once you’ve experienced the power of this work, you’ll never look at life the same way. You can see for yourself when you register for the event and check out the power-packed lineup of speakers for this year’s Summit. I promise, you’ll be glad that you did. And, it really is free to watch while the Summit is live. The only cost is if you purchase the upgrade package to add this collection, and its gorgeous selection of bonuses, to your digital library.

I do hope you’ll join us for The Ancestral Healing Summit, a FREE online event from January 18-21. I’ll see you there!

Evidential mediumship: what qualifies as proof?

Posted on October 3, 2021 | Leave a comment

Why would anyone believe a psychic medium when they say they’re communicating with our dead loved ones? They better have some proof, right?

Right. Well, here’s some proof, with a bit of background first, so the “proof” makes sense.

I’m a program host at The Shift Network where I co-produce three annual summits (Ancestral Healing Summit, Intuitive Medicine Summit and Beyond the Veil Summit). I interview a lot of interesting people. One of them is Suzanne Giesemann, a well-know and highly respected evidential psychic medium.

Suzanne wasn’t always a medium. In fact, she’s a former U.S. Navy Commander who served as a commanding officer and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11. In other words, she’s about as no-nonsense as it gets and she insists on evidence from the “other side” that they are who they say they are.

Last year, when Suzanne and I were in the pre-interview Zoom greenroom doing mic and lighting checks for the Beyond the Veil Summit 2020, one of the lights on my set flashed briefly. This is a well-made, sturdy lamp, which never shorts out, but here it was blinking while I was chatting with a psychic medium. I said to Suzanne, “Well, that’s odd. That lamp never flashes. I wonder if that’s a sign that someone is trying to connect.”

Suzanne cocked her head and said, after a moment, “I’m hearing ‘Mom’.”

Well, shut my mouth and call me corn pone. That lamp used to belong to Mom, before she died. There’s no way Suzanne would have known that.

The lamp behind me used to belong to my mom. After she died, it became a part of my Shift Network set.

She then delivered some uplifting massages from Mom that gave me goosebumps of recognition, messages so personal that I came “this close” to responding like those people you see on TV shows who burst into tears when a psychic medium hits upon a deep truth. I understand now that they react like that because the information literally resonates with them so powerfully that it makes them twang with emotion. No way the information is fake.

Suzanne added one final message from Mom: in order to prove that this was really a message from her, I should watch for owls over the next couple days. That’s my sign. Whenever I see an owl, it’s Mom’s reminder that the message Suzanne delivered came from her.

I live in an area where there aren’t any live owls, so I knew I’d have to be content with seeing coincidental photos, bumper stickers, ads … the usual inanimate signs. At first, I saw owls everywhere, especially online, and was pretty tickled by this until my doubting mind figured it’s gotta be algorithms — my device obviously heard us talking about owls and now I’m seeing them everywhere online. I needed non-digital proof.

I went for a walk in my neighborhood the next day. As I walked, I wondered, was it really Mom? She and I weren’t on the best of terms when she passed so it was hard to believe she’d deliver such a kind and encouraging message. Maybe Suzanne was just tapping into something I needed to hear, without knowing the context or why.

So I said, out loud, “Mom, if this is really you, show me an owl before I get home.” I knew it was a challenge and didn’t really expect to see an owl. Right then and there, I froze in my tracks when I “heard” a nudge to look at the roof of the house across the street from me. There I saw an owl perched next to a vent pipe (it was a decoy, installed to scare critters away from the pipe).

I burst out laughing and offered a round of applause, right there on the sidewalk, not caring if anyone wondered why I was laughing and clapping. What are the odds that I would just happen to look up at that time? Boy, talk about validation! Then I took out my camera and snapped a picture, like ya do. (Pictures, or it didn’t happen.)

If you watch my interview with Suzanne during this year’s summit (her session airs on Monday, October 11 at 10:00 AM Pacific time) you can hear us talking more in depth about this synchronistic owl sighting.

I told her what occurred last year and Suzanne explained that Mom didn’t just nudge me to look up when I happened to be walking by an owl. Mom first put the question in my head to ask her for a sign — as I “happened” to be walking by an owl — and then gave me the nudge to look up.

In fact, she probably nudged me to turn down that exact street where I would find an owl.

But wait! There’s more!

Just this morning, weeks after recording this year’s Summit interview with Suzanne, I went for another walk. On my way home, I was bummed to realize that I wasn’t walking down the same street as Mom’s owl and I wouldn’t see it today.

As I was in the middle of this thought, I got a nudge to look across the street at the roofs and saw this on a completely different house. Yes, it’s another decoy owl.

That’s not the only undeniable message Mom managed to get through to me during this summit (she’s really getting the hang of this after-life communication thing!). Next time I’ll tell you about my interview with Anne Pryor who created a “soul painting”, live, during our session and the amazing message that came through as she painted.

The Beyond the Veil Summit is a free online event that airs during the week of October 11-15. Each session repeats for 48 hours, so if you can’t watch it during its airtime, you can catch it for two more days. The only cost is if you choose to purchase the summit recordings (and extra bonuses) for your digital library.

See you there!
