HELLO! Greetings and salutations! Hey! Hi! Howdy and Hello! What simple, yet powerful words these can be! How can a simple “hello” be powerful you may ask? The answer is that a hello acknowledges and validates the very existence of another human being! We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. We are living in a time of wonderful transformation yet in my readings and indeed in my daily life, I see people are literally craving a very simple concept. A spirit to spirit hello.

Have you ever felt invisible? I remember as a child I felt that way many times. It seemed as if adults were talking and I wasn’t even there. There were times I was in a room and not even acknowledged. You’ve heard the saying “children should be seen and not heard” but I felt like I wasn’t being seen either. It’s been many years since I’ve felt invisible. In fact I haven’t even thought about it since taking my very first meditation class in the early ’90’s. That is, until last week….

Last week I woke up a bit out of sorts. I wasn’t quite feeling ‘in my body’ and real. Normally I go out for a run to get in my body. (Exercise is a great way to feel your body.) When I finished I went to Starbucks as usual. I look forward to seeing the baristas and no matter my mood, for some reason I feel better when I leave. They always say good morning, ask me how the run was, how far, how’s work going. They smile, look me in the eye and always greet me and acknowledge my presence…not to mention they know my coffee order. 🙂 Anyway, you get the picture.

Normally my Starbucks is a buzz of communication. However on this day as I looked around me I noticed that no one was smiling or looking at anyone else. People were listening to Ipods, working on computers, talking on cell phones, reading the newspaper. For the most part it was as if people weren’t aware of the others in the room. Other than a few tables of people actually talking with each other, NO ONE was interacting! I was in a room full of people and felt totally alone. I watched as customer after customer placed their orders never noticing or acknowledging the person taking their order. Some barely paused their cell phone conversation to place their order.

I was standing at the counter and placing my order when a man walked up behind me began to give his order. I was in mid sentence with the barista who was looking directly at ME. When I turned around and said hello to this man his response was “oh, sorry I didn’t see you there”. I was standing right in front of him! As I continued looking around it was as if I was watching a scene in a play from the audience. For the first time since I was a child, I felt invisible!

Then something miraculous happened. Walking home,coffee in hand kind of feeling sorry for myself in that invisible mode, a complete stranger looked me in the eye, smiled and said HELLO. A simple hello instantly changed me from being invisible to being SEEN! This immediately brought a smile to my face. Then the homeless person on the corner said good morning. I looked her in the eye smiled and replied “good morning”…then SHE smiled. I watched her aura get brighter the moment I looked her in the eye! When I give a clairvoyant reading, I can clearly see the impact of spirit to spirit communication. The person I’m reading gets validated by communication to their spirit and of course I find my validation from seeing them get brighter! What I learned on this particular day was how a simple smile, good morning & hello can have an impact on your life.

So how can you give and receive spirit to spirit communication? Well, of course you can get a clairvoyant reading 🙂 but in the meanwhile, you can practice this in your everyday life! Think of it as a little game of playing with energy. The essence of spirit is playful so this shouldn’t be so hard to do. 🙂 When you go out into the world today, put on a smile, look someone in the eye and say HELLO. Do this with strangers, the homeless person on the street, your neighbors and even the grocery store check out person! Don’t just merely pause your cell phone conversation to place an order at Starbucks…or where ever. Notice what happens when you do this! The simple act of saying hello can change a grimace to a smile, make a sad person feel better, perhaps give someone hope, or validate the beautiful existence of spirit in someone who feels invisible! You may be surprised at what you get back! I guarantee as you notice the reaction you receive, it will brighten your day and validate you in spirit as well! I welcome you to post your comments about what YOUR experience was! HELLO!

Have you ever noticed how much responding we do these days? We respond to our cell phone, text messages, emails, facebook, family, friends, work. We have schedules that if you take a moment to think about them are all in one way or another responding to others. It is considered part of daily life to have obligations that must be met and so we respond. But what happened to CREATING? What are YOU creating? Is your life being dictated by always responding or are you creating and living your dream? You are a creator by design. You have the ability and capability for limitless creation!

A few weeks ago I had an interesting job opportunity present itself. Truth be told it would have been a pretty good opportunity and something I thought I needed. I was really struggling with even submitting an application. At the time, I wasn’t sure why it was so difficult for me to jump on board. I grounded, centered, meditated, cleared the energy around it but something just didn’t feel right. I wasn’t in alignment. So I called a friend to help me sort it out 🙂 In our conversation we talked about passion, creating and nurturing the soul. That’s when it became clear to me what didn’t feel right. It wasn’t MY path to walk! It was not my truth nor was it what I wanted. Although I created the opportunity coming to me, I was merely responding to the opportunity from a place of “need” and it would not have been the right choice for me. Of course I then began to look at my own creative energy. What is it that I WANT TO CREATE? What is MY PASSION? What do I LOVE? What do I want will nurture my very spirit and soul? It was then that I realized I had been spending most of my time responding to the external instead of creating what I wanted!

As a clairvoyant, I delight in seeing where and what you are CREATING. It reminds me that we are all creators. It’s amazing to me how much energy or pictures are that of RESPONDING. Like a veil, the energy covers up what it is you really want. Sometimes I see the energy of what you SHOULD be doing, or what you are expected to do and the energy I see is just that….ENERGY. To be clear about this, ENERGY THAT IS NOT YOU! It can be in the form of pictures or programming, it can be energy you have collected up from others. Whatever it is for you, it may stop you from creating altogether! You may spend so much of your time responding that you forget, in a sense, who you are and what YOU want.

When I read I see your spirit, your very essence. I look at what you are creating and begin to acknowledge who you really are. When the creator part of you is acknowledged it’s as if the fog and veils lift! What you want to create for yourself begins to glow and expand. It is light & bright and THIS acknowledgement validates your spirit! So I ask you now to take a moment, center yourself and look inside. Are you creating from a place of all that you are? All you are capable of? Are you nurturing and feeding your spirit by following what’s in your heart and soul? If you find you have been spending your time responding, it’s simple to change, just find the spark that is YOU! Begin thinking of all that YOU want to create in your life and grow that spark! Expand and surround yourself with all that you are. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY AND CAPABILITY FOR LIMITLESS CREATION! GO FOR IT!
