We split our time between DC and Florida. I work as a medium in Florida, but not here in DC. Maybe someday. Right now our time in DC is always so hectic.

Do you advertise your work and have an office in Florida? I would definitely travel to have the opportunity since you do not take clients here. If so, please PM me if you can.

I wish I had time to work in DC. I think it would be a lot of fun! When you visit Florida, go to Cassedaga. There are so many amazing readers in that town. You'll easily find someone you connect with.

Different PP, where should we go if we're seeking a medium in the DC area?

Those of you who love dogs and cats might appreciate this one.

A few weeks ago, we had to make the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 13-year-old dog. We struggled with enormous feelings of irrational guilt even though it was clearly the best thing we could do for our sweet boy. The vet said he could live 3-6 more months with a lot of treatments, but his kidneys and liver were failing, in addition to the diabetes he’d been diagnosed with a few months before. We didn’t want to put him through that— we didn’t want him to suffer.

The day after, my husband came to have lunch with me at work. I was still so upset. I got into his car, and there was in the space next to us a van with its back door open and inside was the same model of dog ramp we’d been using to help our dog get into the car for the past 2 years since his back legs weakened. He loved going in the car.

I looked closer and plastered to the driver side door was a bumper sticker: “Lord, please help me be the person my dog thinks I am.” Seeing that made me remember how much my dog loved and trusted me, and eased my guilt a little.

So we drove to lunch and as we got out of the car and walked to the restaurant, there were two women walking towards us. As they approached, one said to the other just two sentences that I heard loud and clear: “Are you going to get another dog? You were so good to him.”

(Of course at this point I lost it and ran back to our car so I could cry. But it felt like a very comforting sequence of messages.)

I had a strange experience when I was pregnant, I'm not sure if it would be considered paranormal or just spiritual/religious. I was 33 weeks and lying awake thinking about all the things that still needed to get done before the baby arrived. Then I heard an audible voice (I've never heard a voice before or since, FWIW, so I don't think I'm crazy). To paraphrase, the voice told me that God was going to take care of things, and the voice said, "God will provide." This message was accompanied by a deep feeling of peace. The next day I was admitted to the hospital with severe preeclampsia which progressed to HELLP. My son was born premature in an emergency C section and spent several weeks in the NICU. We are both very lucky to be here. I was agnostic at the time, and I am still not religious, but I spoke to a priest about this experience afterwards. He told me that what I heard is a translation of "Jehovah Jireh," one of the names of God in the Old Testament. It was the name that God revealed when he told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac but then spared him.

To the previous posters who lost babies, my heart goes out to you. I also believe that your babies are with God.

I have this strange thing that goes on where I'll think of someone and then I'll see the person that day or the next. For example, there was this older woman at the gym who wore a ton of perfume that I hadn't seen in a long time. I was thinking about her for no particular reason yesterday morning. I went to T.J. Maxx last night and there she was.

Something similar happens to me too. I'll think I see a friend walking towards me, and I'll start waving and saying hello. Then that person will be about 5 feet in front of me and I'll realize that's not my friend, but someone else who doesn't even look like my friend. Then I'll turn a corner and actually see the friend I thought I had just seen. It's like I'm hallucinating seeing the person before I actually see them. This happens to me all the time. Anyone else have this experience?

I'm the previous atheist poster. Btw, I normally don't click on paranormal posts, not sure why I did at 2:00am today.

I saw the post by the PP who lost her 10 month old and so I was compelled to share with you on what I saw.

I'm an atheist and my wife is Catholic. Sometimes I go with her to Church on Sundays just because we need to go together somewhere afterwards and it saves time.

Back in 2011, towards the end of the mass, when the priest was swinging the incent thing, as smoke rised, I noticed it formed the shape of Jesus and in his arm, was a chubby baby. I turned to my wife, and asked her if she could see it? She couldn't. To me, it was as clear as if it's a painting in front of me.

I'm still an atheist and I still don't understand what I saw that day.

For the PP who lost your older baby, I am sorry for your loss and hope the ideas shared earlier will continue to give you comfort.
My comment is not a paranormal sighting but another post on the topic of seeing patterns/connections that seem too much of a coincidence, like the Reluctant Medium PP says is an indication that spirits are around us and trying to connect...:

I was working from home last month and unusually played some music from my laptop. The second song was by my dad's favorite composer. I'd never heard it before--but it was so stylistically typical that I smiled to myself and thought, 'Isn't it nice that I can always play [Composer] anytime and think fondly of my dad.' (He passed away 4 yrs ago). After a few minutes it occurred to me that **it was his birthday**.
I've always been bad at remembering his birthday (I'm mildly ADD), even more so now, and so I had to go check some documents to confirm; without the song it wouldn't have occurred to me.
I felt he was giving me a sign that he's still there for me and wanted me to know.

Similar story, when I was really keen to start dating a guy at grad school who just was a bit clueless, I'd written him off and tried to move on, but one day I ran into him in one of those 'just happen to be at the exact same place at the same time' things, very coincidental. We said hello, were both free, and had a long coffee and started spending more time together thereafter--and he's now my DH.
I've always said that running into him at that spot and time was such a weird coincidence that made all the difference in our lives, and he's told me that it was shortly after his beloved grandma had died and he had been really feeling that she was looking after him.

4:34 PP here. Thanks you for your kind words. I was so touched by the sweet comments. It’s been a rough couple of days. Not sure if it’s quite paranormal but maybe my son did come back in my daughter.

I have a 10 month old... and I think that’s why it’s been a few difficult days. She is now older than he was here on earth. She was born exactly 9 months to the day he left us. What makes it really special is that we had a lot of trouble conceiving my twins (son is a twin) and went to another country for IVF. Our daughter came with zero intervention or planning. I look at her sometimes and wonder if part of him is in there and that’s why I haven’t seen signs. But I would hate to project that on her too. I love her and his twin with all my heart but wow, do we miss him too. I wonder what he would be like today. Thanks for listening.

sorry double post

This post is very meaningful to me. Thank you for sharing.

You are very welcome.

Last time was less than a week ago. DH and I went to an estate sale. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, I could feel it. I walked into the garage and standing right behind the homeowner was his deceased wife. She was determined to get a message to her husband no matter how hard I tried to ignore her. How to you tell a stranger that his deceased wife wants to talk? You can't just come out and say it.

I don't want to get too specific because of his privacy. But she asked me to tell him to look under a piece of furniture in the house. When we did, we found a treasured piece of her jewelry that had been missing. Even after that, she would not shut up. She wanted him to know that she was happy and well. She wanted him to know that selling the house was a good decision. Just on and on. She was a beautiful soul who was determined to get her message through. Spirits know who can see them. She was just waiting for an opportunity.

It happens to me all the time when I'm out in public. Standing in line at Target, eating at restaurants, at the park, very often on Metro. I never say a word. There is no way I'm going to start telling random strangers that grandma has stepped forward to chat.

I just wanted to say that I am very impressed with your connectivity. Do you ever meet people I’m the area for the purpose of connecting them to their relatives?

Where do those souls go when they're not seeking the living ones out? Do you think there's a heaven?

Having recently lost my mom, I wonder this all the time.

I don't know. And I think people who claim to know are just guessing. I've tried to get answers from deceased loved ones, spirit guides, angels, ascended masters (for me, Jesus) but I can't. I get the sense that if we knew, it would interfere with our work here on earth so it's just information we aren't allowed to have.

I'll give you one interesting theory that resonates with me. The reality that we are living here on earth is just one aspect of our higher self. Our higher self is our true self. Our I Am. That part of us never leaves the spirit realm. We just dispatch different aspects of that higher self into different realities. Our purpose for being on this earth at this time in this reality is to learn. This is our earth school. This is where we learn to truly love, to show compassion, to become enlightened, to uplevel, .... And we repeat the process until we get it right. If this is true, then your mother's soul would simply rejoin her higher self. I am a Christian so I would call that heaven - a place where Source Energy (or God) is.

I'm sorry your mother died. I do believe there is a heaven. And I think we have all been there many times. I just think if we remembered it clearly, we might be a little too anxious to leave this world when things get tough. I do know that life continues after death. I know that most spirits I talk to who have died and moved on are happy and at peace. I'm just not sure exactly what it looks like.

Do you believe that souls speak to their non-psychic loved ones in various ways? My mom recently passed away and I think she is speaking to me through flickering lights and random electronics, like the garage door opening when not pressed, etc.

Our deceased loved ones communicate with us often. All of us are born with the natural ability to receive those messages. Most people just aren't paying attention. Spiritual beings like to use energy to communicate with us because it's easier for them to manipulate. Also look for anything that repeats in your environment, especially numbers. If you noice it, tell them! Say, "I saw that! Thank you!"

Have you ever heard of baby’s coming back and giving signs? My son passed at 10 months old and I’m awake right now at 4 AM missing him terribly. Sometimes I just doubt that his young soul would be able to come back and see me. I ask him to visit me in dreams and it doesn’t work either. I’m afraid I’m losing memories of him too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have felt the presence of God. I don't know what else to say, PP, other than I have truly felt the presence of God and believe that your baby is with God.
