Hey, have you got a minute? Sassy here. I really want to give a shout out of gratitude to Susan. She would be soooo embarrassed if she knew I was doing this, but I don’t care. It feels GREAT and I have no problem saying so. Sassy. Yeah, it’s a silly name, but it’s my name okay. When Susan “adopted” me and Chico, people were constantly suggesting that she change my name. Geez Louise, didn’t I have a say in this? She defended me to the hilt and made sure my feelings were consid

Helen (Zubeck) Marjerison June 27, 1929 – May 11, 2013 I can still see your wicked smile and peals of laughter radiating from your energy reservedly holding in the naughtiness below the surface. With everything you have been through, it is remarkable to me that you managed to carry on with any sense of normalcy and grace…but you did.

When you do this, you contribute in a meaningful and loving way to others, that have their own ecosystem to take care of. It’s okay to say no when a part of you needs quiet time. It’s okay to

My mother was clear and lucid enough to know (in the beginning), that her brain was starting to let her down. She lost her balance often, was unable to swallow properly, slurred her speech, and lost various fine motor skills that would cause her frustration when an object would repeatedly slip from her hand, or a zipper fastener, or a seat belt, got the better of her. She stayed in a nursing home for 5 years with Dementia (Alzheimer’s Disease). She also, at this point, had su

Have you ever wondered how spirit communicates on the earth plane? Have you ever had goose bumps, whispers, hot or cold sensations, the smell of smoke or perfume for no earthly reason? Do animals or birds show up at exactly the time you are reminded of, or thinking of, a deceased friend, relative or parent? That is spirit speaking to you in subtle ways to deliver messages, showing you that you are not alone, and, that you are surrounded by loved ones. If you are a skeptic, th
