Brrrrrr. I realize how lucky I have it, having grown up in Florida. I can’t imagine what real cold must feel like. The coldest I’ve ever been is back in January 2000. I’d driven all day to arrive after dark at a home I had in Murphy, NC and when I arrived, it was 15 degrees and snowflakey. I’d picked up groceries in Elijay, GA on my way in. I thought how good a hot shower would feel, and I would heat soup on the stove and the heater would be going by the time I got out of the shower. I came in and went right to the kitchen to set groceries down and get my soup going. I found I had no water! I went into the bathroom and tried that faucet, no water. So much for a shower, much less a hot one. Continue reading

The End of Death As We Know It: What The Crossing Over Experience Was Like As Reported By Those Who Made The Transition
We see it on tv all the time; violent death and painful trauma on the way to it. Movies are filled with it, it’s on tv all day and night, and our generation and our kids grew up with it. No wonder the thought of death strikes fear in most of us! But as usual, what’s shown in the media isn’t necessarily how things are; it’s just what sells tickets. This article is excerpted from a compilation of personal case histories of people I’ve read for. I wanted to share it because I’ve witnessed many times where those who did not believe in an afterlife were surprised with messages from loved ones, although they had been brought up to believe otherwise. I love watching someone experience the dawning of a new understanding as their former, limited belief system crumbles. Continue reading
Her Perception Upon Dying
A channelled message from the nonphysical perspective of one who recently made their transition. This came to me during a telephone reading in response to a daughter inquiring about a beloved parent who had recently passed.
HER PERCEPTION UPON DYING
As you watched my body lapse and fail,
I watched Creation unfold in all its Glory;
As my body contorted as though in pain, all I felt was joyful bliss at glimpsing what lie beyond. My final tears were not in frustration of incapacity, they sprang forth in welcome relief and freedom.
My lack of response concerned you so yet I heard every word and felt every kiss
While my tongue was quiet, my mind’s eye was filled with sights and sensations of such Loving immersion that no words could begin to describe it; so I didn’t even try.
Rather, perhaps selfishly, I chose to slip my grateful shell of a body and merge myself in the brilliant Light and Radiance of that overwhelmingly loving and comforting Presence that so benevolently graced my final days.

I get a great lesson in the power of my beliefs about eyeglasses
I had a great lesson in the power of my beliefs this morning. As usual on final layout week, I spend extra hours at the computer, creating and revising ads, opening mail, logging in payments, seeing who’s paid and who needs to pay, playing phone tag with a dozen new advertisers getting last minute details, making last minute adjustments to design and layout. So I work well into the night and get up early to begin again. And this morning was no different. I woke up groggy, wishing I could have just a little more sleep, but excited about doing the final touches on the magazine. I note the time on the wall clock – 6:20 am – and sleepily make it into the office. I go over my To Do List and begin making my way down the list. I check email and get a final ad. I respond to a few emails. I place the ad and am about to begin my Table of Contents when I notice my eyeglass case next to the keyboard in front of me. My eyeglass case. Empty, of course. Not because I have them on, but because they’re in the living room next to the couch where I slept last night. Hmmm, how can that be? Continue reading
You are the Vortex
Yesterday was a day of running errands for me, and I was on line at the bank, in the market and at the post office. Being in line is always a lot of fun for me, especially if the radio is on. Yesterday at the post office, we had the whole line bopping to KC and the Sunshine Band’s “Shake Your Booty.” I always talk to people I’m standing in line with and have met some great friends that way. I posted it on Facebook and said, “I went to school with Harry Casey, he’s 60 this year and can still get us dancing in the aisles.” One friend commented that I always seem to find fun, and galpal Joan Crutcher responded, “Andrea doesn’t find fun, she brings fun with her wherever she goes.” And Joan’s right. I am a vortex of fun and I take it with me wherever I go.
Portals and Power Places: A lot of my friends travel to Arizona, Peru, France and India, to sacred sites such as Sedona, Macchu Picchu, Lourdes and Puttaparti. I hear others talk about “there’s a special vortex here or there“ however it’s my experience that I AM the vortex. That WE ARE each the powerful vortex that we seek. It’s interesting; we’ll make a pilgrimage half way around the world before we’ll sit alone with ourself to make the journey within. Go figure. Continue reading
