You Make Us Happy
Your reaction to our second With Love From Heaven Newsletter was heartwarming for us. Your supportive comments and ideas are so appreciated. Keep them coming so we can improve our effort to serve your needs.
Q - I've tried adc readings with three different mediums and have been unhappy with the results. Can you assure me that a reading with you would have better results? I'll admit to being skeptical but I try to keep an open mind. These failures to communicate are making me angry at all mediums.
A - Sorry for your loss, and negative experiences in attempting to connect with your loved one. Could I guarantee better results? Absolutely not. The fact is, hearing of your history and admitted anger issues, I would not attempt to do a reading for you at this time.
Have you heard that old saying, "The fault dear Brutus lies not in our stars, but in ourselves!" Over the past thirteen years as a professional medium, it has become apparent, negative energy of any kind tends to block the flow of information from spirit.
Skepticism toward this type of activity is common, and understandable. How could it not be when dealing with something so foreign as the idea of communicating with someone who has just died? Normal reaction or not, that doesn't change the fact that it usually blocks you from having a successful connection with your loved one.
If you are holding anger in your body, that anger is also a major barrier. If you are mad at your loved one for leaving, or toward God for not preventing the physical death of your loved one -- you are blocking the communication flow.
You have every right to feel your feelings. Work on clearing those things that cause negative emotions. Deal with the anger issues first, then your chances for a good reading increase 300%.
We'll pray you are able to come to a resolution with your grief, anger and skepticism.
Susan
Q - You have said our loved ones who have crossed over are still connected to us. I wish I could believe that. How can you be so certain? I just don't feel him around me.
A - After having been involved in more than 2,800 conversations with those in spirit, you don't have to be a mental giant to notice information patterns. When you hear the same thing over and over again, you begin to appreciate the truth of what is being shared by those in spirit.
Over and over, so loudly and clearly, a consistent message has been. "When you think of me, talk about me, cry for me, ask my help, look at my pictures, light a candle for me — I can hear your thoughts, feel your emotions, and we are instantly connected. I am there with you!"
Thoughts are energy, and that's how our loved ones communicate, between each other IN spirit, as well as with those of us back in the earth dimension. Guaranteed — your loved one is feeling your emotions and is connected to your thoughts — as they apply to him!
Why don't you feel him -- hear him? That's easy. As opposed to the dimension where he now lives, we are encumbered with this dense five-senses body, constantly cluttered overactive mind, living in this dense and often negative energy called earth.
Is it any wonder it is difficult for our loved ones to reach us? But they often do. The dream state is easier for them to come through since, although our asleep minds are still dealing with problem solving, anxiety et al, we are at our calmest at that time.
For more and clearer contact, meditation and relaxation techniques are critical. Try to develop in those areas. You ARE connected. Work on your mental state as well. Here on earth we have developed the belief that "Seeing is believing!"
With things of spirit — "Believing leads to seeing!"

"Ya Gotta Lighten Up!"
That's what Spirit is constantly reminding Susan and me as we sometimes take life a little too seriously. Soooo, this will be our monthly Lighten Up feature -- and we're asking YOU to contribute to it by sending us your favorite joke or funny story. Here's one we received from a friend that had us smiling.
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!
Casa Welcomed First Full-time VolunteerIt was a cold and stormy night, just one year ago this week, when beautiful Molly first came calling. She was soaked, shaking and obviously a soul who had lost her way. Fearful of our welcoming attempts, she ran away several times when warmth and food was offered. It was obvious to us her recent travels had caused her to be mistrustful of any attempts to help better her situation.
Days passed and she carried on her refusal to accept any form of kindness, while camping on our porch and occasionally peaking in our windows. This woman, we intuitively knew, had seen a hard life, as many of us have experienced. One particularly brutally cold evening, just before bedtime, and with Molly on our minds, we turned on the porch light, to find Molly huddled in our giant flower pot, cold rain pelting her sad face.
That was the last straw! Susan and I plotted how we could bring her from the cold into the warmth of our house and hearts. Checking once again to see if she was still potted, as I slowly peeked out the window so as not to scare her off, there with her nose pressed against that same window, her eyes asking to be accepted, the time seemed right.
With a piece of raw turkey bacon in hand, she reluctantly entered our home and took over our hearts.
We proudly reintroduce you to Molly,who has agreed to be our full time Casa Healing Cat, ready to greet all who visit, especially those in need of total acceptance and unconditional love, regardless of their beliefs, race, or species.

Several weeks ago, as Susan and I made our daily two mile walk to the post office, there was a faint cry of distress coming from bushes to the side of the busy highway. As we parted the tangled brambles, a pair of pleading green eyes emerged.
It was obvious this struggling kitty was nearing the end of his time on earth. Weakened by lack of food and water, and suffering from an infected paw, his cries paid big dividends.
After a visit to the Vet, antibiotics for his paw, and some good old fashioned scientific kitty food (not from China) — we're happy to report he's strong, healthy, and ready to become a contributing member of society.
A funny funny guy, with an intelligence the envy of most humans, this cuddly feline has taken over the household, and our hearts.
We're pleased to present to you, for the first time in public, Smokey Sanderford. Our second San Luis rescue kitty.
Focus on helping someone in need, and you'll be helping yourself to heal.
Shameless Self Promotion
EBOOK MALL produces a list of the top 100 Customer Recommended books. Last month a friend called to our attention, that in EBOOK MALL'S Mysterious & Supernatural category, our Conversations With Mama was listed at number 36 — and climbing.
"Mama" is also listed as Recommended Reading by world renowned medium James Van Praagh on his website. Author Glenn Sanderfur calls Mama "A JEWEL!"
Have you read Mama yet? Time to learn why other's say "It's an amazing first hand account of what it's like to die, and live in that other dimension we call 'spirit!'"
A year after Milt's mom, Trudy Alcorn, crossed into spirit, they had seven one hour conversations about the death and dying process through Susan's mediumship gift. Recorded and transcribed, this exchange was the basis for our book, Conversations With Mama.
Asked and answered were questions like, What is it like to die?, How do we feel?, Do we see God?, What form do we take?, Do we recognize our loved ones?, Are we punished for our mistakes?, What happens to those who end their own lives?, Why are we here?
Mama informs, amazes, and sometimes shocks! (We didn't want to include the ET information, but we were told it was necessary.) Trudy Alcorn died, and she shares that experience with you.

Count Your Blessings
When you've lost a loved one, the holidays often magnify your grief and pain. Based on information gathered from over 2,800 conversations with those in spirit, here is what your loved one asks of you.
Please understand. I am not dead. I am alive and well and still very much connected with you. I'm living in a nearby dimension where I no longer need a physical body. Try to think of my absence as though you have sent me off on a wonderful cruise.
I know you miss me, but focus on the fact I am surrounded by beautiful vistas and am loving every minute of this new adventure. When we meet up again we'll share the joys of what we learned while apart.
Celebrate the time we had together. Revive fond memories and share fun stories with loved ones. Set a place for me at the table and I'll be there. Take some digital pictures around the table, and I'll try to show up in those pictures.
This is a new season of living for us. We'll both continue to learn and grow. I want you to be happy. That makes me happy.
We've been together in prior lifetimes and we'll be together again. My physical absence does not end our relationship. One day we'll write a new script to learn new lessons for our soul's growth.
This is not an ending of our life together, just a continuation of our lives together. Just one chapter in our book of eternal life. Let's chose to enjoy this new adventure."
We know this is a tall order for one in grief, but know you will eventually heal from the pain. Know our prayers are for that to happen, and soon.
If You're In the Neighborhood
A trio of good friends, Jane Bissler, Sara Ruble and Deneene Floino, are embarking on a mission to spread the healing word that life continues after the physical death of a loved one -- and so can yours. From the heart of their experiences, these wonderful women share the way.
Last week they were in Cleveland. Their plans are to be presenting their powerful seminar in Phoenix in February, 2008, Tampa in March, Chicago in April, Vermont in June, and Washington, DC in September. (A western swing is a possibility so express your interest to them.)
Check out their website at www.spiritualityworkshops.com where you'll find contact information to learn more seminar details. Will it will be worth your while? Here's just one bit of feedback from their Cleveland seminar;
Dear Jane,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the most incredible two days at the workshop. I am now on my spiritual journey with the guidence of you, Sara, and Deneene.
As a bereved parent, I have fought the fight. Along the way I have felt that moving on was leaving my Paul behind, always really knowing that he lived on in me. I could never achieve that level of peace that I so frantically wanted.
That all changed in just 2 days, I know now that I CAN have that level of peace and it is MY choice to achieve it. The three of you have opened a door for me, taught me how to do it, and I am forever grateful for this experience. I will start out taking baby steps, but rest assured I WILL achieve the rewards of a more spritual life.
Again, thank you so much.
Fondly,
Carole
