Month: March 2018

Any of you from that generation where you were left alone at home at a pretty early age?  Looking back it seemed more of the norm back then but is not in today’s world.

I would sometimes stay home alone when my mom worked and step dad worked half a block away, so he was close by.  I was between 6 and 8 years old.  I remember watching Scooby Doo and thinking the host in between shows could actually see me.  I always had a vivid imagination and was convinced one day he was talking to me and could somehow climb out of TV set if he wanted too.

I also remember trying to bake cookies out of a recipe on a cereal box and was so worried I would get in trouble for baking by myself.

I had an adult friend next door I used to bake cookies with sometimes and adored her.  I found out one day she had been robbed by gunpoint and as a little girl was so scared.  I thought “what if guy had come into my home and I was home alone?”  We lived in San Franscisco at the time on Cabrillo Avenue near Argonne school.  But one thing I am thankful for is I will always have that city mentality cause of what happened.

Today as a mom I realize my parents probably felt okay with me home alone since my step dad worked so close to home.  But I also know I am too protective to leave my 5 year old by herself and our world today is so much scarier than back then.

My whole life I have had the feeling I have a sixth sense sort of gift.  From having dreams that come true to hearing crying outside my rolled up window.  I also was surrounded by family members that told me their stories of being visited my a spirit in the middle of the night.

My father believed in spirits, aliens, psychics and had a very open mind to things not everyone else believed in.  He went to visit a psychic when he was living in Los Angeles and she had told him he needed to move back to bay area closer to me, since I missed him. Which was very accurate to how I was feeling.

After my dad’s death which was very hard emotionally for me, I went on a trip to Hawaii with my family.  We stayed in same town of Maui my dad liked to go and my husband and I felt like this was a dedication to my father who loved Hawaii.

My husband Chris booked me a massage, a perfect time to get a little break from the kids and relax.  The moment I entered the office area to get massage I felt an instant connection with the masseuse.  Laying down, enjoying my massage we had a lot in common and talked about essential oils among things.  Then things got quiet.  And then she said “there is someone here with us.”

I was shocked.  I always believed it was possible for spirits to communicate with us, but was this for real?  Was this what she was talking about?

Then she continued “did someone close to you die recently?”

I confirmed with her that my father had died about a month ago.  She said “he has a message for you.  You will always be his angel.”

This was crazy.  I had never met this woman before, she knew nothing about me and i was very far from home.  My dad had called me his angel when I was growing up and had even written a song about me called “Your my Angel.”

I asked her what her gift was exactly and she said she could hear the spirits talking to her and see their auras.  I asked what color my dad’s aura was and she said blue.   Apparently a blue aura signifies caring, loving, sensitive, intuitive and are often linked to people with strong personalities.

Then the lights flickered on and off in the room and she told me that sometimes spirits try to communicate with us through electricity.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had and confirmed my belief in the sixth sense, spirits, my dad’s super strong connection with me and how our family was supposed to go to Maui for this to happen.

 

Thank you so much for following my blog.  I just recently noticed I had gotten flooded with comments I did not even realize that I had.  I wanted to answer some questions to the entire group and also give a little bio on me too.  Also I want to apologize if I have not gotten back to you.  Like I said, I have been flooded and am so thankful for all the amazing support I have gotten.

First off, I always loved writing since I was a kid and loved making up short stories and eventually did some poetry too in high school and early adulthood.  I had one poem published in a Marin county newspaper called John Galt Papers.  The main thing that attracted me to blogging was the writing part of it and connection to other people reading my blog too.  So far all the blogs are written by me and based on my real life experiences.

I did some research online and bought an e-book that told me how to do a blog page.  I also asked my cousin for help setting it up, with layout and pictures and how to do advertisements at bottom if I want.   I also used Host Volcano to pay for my web name and use Word Press to write my blog.  I hope that helps anyone that is trying to start a blog themselves.  I  highly recommend searching out someone that understands how to set one up better than me since I am still learning about the blog myself and getting their help.   I would not have been able to do this without the e-book and my cousin’s amazing help.

I also wanted to do a brief bio so everyone knows a little more about me.  I grew up in the bay area.  I lived in San Francisco until I was 8 years old and then moved to Marin County, just north of there.  I had a two home situation, most my life.  My parents divorced when I was 3 years old.  My mom met my step dad when I was about 5 years old.  Now looking back I am so thankful for all the extra love I gained my having an extra dad(my step dad) and gaining more family from his family- aunts, uncles, a whole new set of grandparents.

I moved to Ashland, Oregon when I was twenty to go to college and graduated with Bachelor of Arts in Theater with a minor in Creative Writing.  I fell in love with Ashland which in now my home town.  I am married and have 3 girls.  The oldest is my step daughter Tyler who entered my life when she was 2 years old.  Now she is 19 years old.  My younger ones are Raina who is 12 years old and Bella who is 5 years old.  I am a stay at home mom who also enjoys writing in her blog, selling crystal jewelry I handcrafted, dog sitting and also educating people about essential oils.
