I had a gallery reading Monday night at Second Place Beer Co in Lowville! 🍺 This is such a fun place! Highly recommend checking them out 🙏🏻At the beginning of the gallery I mentioned it would be about the young males and it truly was. There were seven young males that stepped forward in the reading, four of whom stepped forward for their moms.

We started with a strong male who stepped forward for his brother and her mom. It was truly special to see that brotherly love come out in full form. He playfully joked and picked on his brother. He knew of his brother always working on his toys and joked about moving his tools around on him 🏍️ He joked about the shrine his mom has for him and knew about her recent life changes. 📦 It was so comforting for her to hear her son’s opinion on her life changes and give her that nudge she was moving in the right direction.

To hold space for four mothers grieving the loss of their children was both heart breaking and healing. For them to know there are others who walk their same journey in life and know all of the feelings and emotions that come with the loss of a child can make such a difference.

In every gallery reading I give I always explain how spirit piggy backs off from one another and how they will have people sit at a table together who don’t even know each other but resonate with the same message. There was a mom who very recently passed and stepped forward for her daughter. She validated the beanie babies she collected as she navigated through her disease at end of life. 🧸 Her mother talking about their conversations regarding the after life and how truthful they ended up being and how her husband was waiting for her when she crossed just as her daughter said he would be 💗She told her daughter to stay put in the house for now and make it your own. She also talked about the new furniture which had been ordered. 🛋️🪑 She had been living with her mom for a few years as she took care of her. Staying in the house has been uncomfortable for her since her mother’s departure but her mom validated it was the best option at this time. After that I brought forward a woman’s mother by name; I thought I heard Julie but her mom corrected me and said Judy. She was seated at the same table and resonated with the same message; she too was living in her mom’s house and dealing with the same feelings. 🏡 The way spirit works together to pass messages in a group setting is incredible.

One of the most unexpected but beautiful messages came from a man who was affiliated with Second Place Beer Co. 🍺 He stepped forward with his name. There were several people present who knew him. He acknowledged the owners and thanked them for the opportunity he had with their business. 🥘 🛻 He even mentioned he would pop in every now and again and check in on them. He said don’t worry if anything happens, it’s just me. They even mentioned noticing a door opening on its own😇🙏🏻

There were so many incredible messages that night. I want to thank Second Place Beer Co. for hosting me and to everyone that came and trusted me with the messages of their loved ones.

Friday night I had the pleasure of having a gallery reading at the Bistro 108! We are truly lucky to have such hidden gems in our community. Spirit was delivering messages as quickly as I could get them out. Some galleries are constructed on reaching as many as possible and this was one of those readings. ✨

We started the night with a spitfire mother and father stepped forward for her daughter. The mom totally ran the show. She joked about being more excited to see her dog in Heaven instead of her spouse but it was all in good fun. She showed me the ashes and the necklaces. ⚱️ Her daughter just picked up her ashes and is talking about doing necklaces with her ashes in them. Her passing was very recent and she brought such comfort to her daughter by validating the correct decisions she made for her mom at the end of her life. Then her cousin who was like her best friend stepped forward with her name. Her cousin validated knowing how she changed her entire life to take care of her son; even down to the special accommodations they made so her son could still attend the same school. 🏫 Spirit knows of everything we do in honor and for our loved ones.

Then we had a father step forward for his girls! His daughters and granddaughters were present. He talked about the new baby his granddaughter just had and how great of a mom she is. 🎀He even joked and said trust yourself and stop looking things up. She laughed and said she researches everything. 💻 He knew about the quilts made from his clothes. 👕 He knew how his daughter just got a new car that day. He talked about their lunch dates to the diner which was the Grist Mill and his favorite gravy dish 😂He joked with his other daughter about the all the animals she rescues but also mentioned that was something he really loved about her. 🐕 He knew of his granddaughters director position and said how proud he was of her. His presence was so strong for his family and he proved that his love and guidance is still just as strong from heaven.

Then we had a grandfather who stepped forward for his grandson and talked about the outdoor concerts. 🌲 🎶 It took me a minute to connect the wood he was holding in his hands were drum sticks. 🥁 They played music together at outdoor pavilions which were some of their most cherished memories. He knew his grandson was trying to get a band together to play. He knew of the tattoo in his honor. Most importantly he acknowledged his grandsons near death experiences and how that changed his life. He validated being proud of how his grandson has navigated those challenges. He knew his grandson would be able to help others from his experiences and encouraged him to share his story. Near death experiences always strengthen our connection to the other side and to spirit. It’s very common to have increased psychic tendencies and increased spiritual communication following a near death experience. This can be overwhelming and it can be hard to differentiate what you’re feeling when this shift occurs but it can also be utilized in a positive way. 🔮🪬

There were so many messages centered around our loved ones knowing, guiding and supporting us from heaven. We never walk this journey alone and the support and love from Heaven is truly endless. 🕯️💞Thank you to everyone who attended.

Spirit does an incredible job at all of my gallery readings but the gallery event I held last night was something on an entirely different level. So many names were brought through; Kevin, Mary and Charles! It was incredible.

There was a young male who stepped forward and a good majority of the attendees knew him. He had one of the strongest presences in the room. He passed beautiful messages to his friends and most importantly his mom. He showed us his awesome mullet, his cute dance moves, he bragged about the buck deer mount he had, and acknowledged his father’s name. 🦌 He knew about the tattoos, the decals, so many beautiful things done in honor of him. He even brought through the name of the gentlemen who was with him at the time of his accident. He passed special messages to a dear friend who was present who needed some clarification on a recent relationship. 💐 She said she felt he was sending her signs about the relationship and he validated that through his messages. When someone passes at a young age it’s easy to focus on all of the life accomplishments we won’t get to experience together but he reminded us to be grateful of what we did experience. His mother has been hesitant to listen to country music which she associates with him but he told her this would be a connection and a way to feel him. He said he would be at the beach with them, his family is going to the beach as a way to help start the healing journey and have family time. What a great reminder he was going with them 🏖️ He was such a charmer and made his presence known through the entire reading.

A father stepped forward with his sons for his daughter and wife. He joked with his wife about using the cane and being careful. She always tried to get him to use the cane but he would forget and she finds herself doing the same things now. 🦯 He talked about the business and acknowledged it being passed down to his daughter. He showed me the land and different sections of the land and said he approved of the new changes and things she was doing for the business. She just called a land surveyor this last week! He mentioned bringing new things to the community space of the business which she also intended to do. Having that support from Heaven showed her that her family was proud of what she was doing with the business and to move forward with her ideas! 💡

A strong mother energy stepped forward for her daughter and two grand daughters. She immediately showed me Pooh Bear and the honey jar with the bee. Her grand daughter is expecting her first child and they are decorating the nursery with Pooh Bear. 🐻 Her daughter was planning to buy the decorative honey jar as part of the nursery! 🍯 As this woman was talking to her other granddaughter she mentioned being so proud of her singing and performances! Her granddaughter just did her first middle school musical this year 🎶 Spirit really does share in the joys of our life with us ✨

At the end a young female stepped forward for her friend. She said their relationship was like sisters. She said she carries me with her and showed me the card. Her friend carries her memory card with her in her phone case. She talked about the concert and said she would absolutely be there. She said we have to listen to all of the songs now to get ready. The woman is taking her daughter to her first concert (Pitbull) and she’s been telling her you need to learn all the songs so you’re ready. 🎟️ 🎤

These are just a few examples of the amazing messages that were passed. What a great reading to prove to us our loved ones never leave us. Thank you to everyone who shared in this amazing night.

Spirit really does construct a theme for every group reading I hold whether it’s for 50 people or 6 people. Last week I gave a small group reading that was very focused on mental health.

Before I explain the theme I wanted to share a fun piece of validation that came up in the reading. Spirit showed me a pop up card. This was the first time I have ever seen a pop up card in a reading. I saw the pop up card as I was acknowledging a young woman’s brother who had passed. Come to find out this was actually a message for the woman sitting next to her. The woman sitting next to her was hoping to hear from her dad although she wasn’t sure she was ready to. Even though I didn’t focus on her dad during her messages he found a way to validate his presence without it being overwhelming. One of the only things she kept from her dad was a pop up card he gave her. 💌

Going back to the young females brother I started with, he was able to validate watching over her by revealing some very personal details about a situation that had been going on with her husband and his mental health. He showed such unwavering support for his brother in law and proved to his sister he was present the day her husband was struggling the most. He more importantly gave her the hope that her husband was on the right track to getting to a better place. ☮️

Immediately after that message a father stepped forward for the woman sitting on her other side. The woman’s father got my attention by acknowledging they were very familiar with mental health challenges and he too had walked that path in life. It was incredible to see her father has healed to a place in Heaven where he felt comfortable to acknowledge his struggles. Being open and vulnerable about his mental health was very difficult for him here on earth. One of the fun pieces of validation her father was able to acknowledge was a new vehicle / car keys. 🔑 She mentioned her and her spouse had just bought a yellow van to turn into a camper van. She asked me if her dad had an idea of a nickname for the van. He played The Beatles song “Yellow Submarine” for me. She laughed and said this was actually a nickname her spouse mentioned that day; her spouse even mentioned changing some of the windows in the van to replicate submarine windows! 🛟🚤

Then I brought through a woman’s mother in law. Her mother in law acknowledged how much her son was struggling with grief and depression since her unexpected passing. She told her daughter in law messages that would help alleviate the burdens that her son was carrying regarding her passing. She encouraged her daughter in law they would get through that challenge together.

As I went on to the next woman who was part of the group I brought through her parents. Her parents validated their presence by answering a question she had written down during the session. Her parents also acknowledged her son. They talked about her son feeling lost and struggling with depression which was currently going on. Her parents acknowledged the new life changes coming his way would help pull him out of that difficult spot. 🏫 📚

There were four scenarios in that reading alone that touched on mental health. Regardless of who we were talking about, the message that remained the same was that there are options and ways to navigate through the struggles and eventually better days are coming.

On Saturday I got to have my first event at The Manor House in Pierrepont! This is a breathtaking wedding venue and was the perfect setting for spirit to deliver some beautiful messages.

We had a grandfather step forward for his grand daughters, he was holding an EMF reader and was tapping it. They laughed and mentioned that they used to ghost hunt with their grandfather. He used to hold the EMF reader and tap on it asking if there were any spirits around. What a fun walk down memory lane for them. 👻

We had several parents present in the reading which had lost their son. There are certain losses that can feel unbearable to navigate through, and the loss of a child is one of the hardest. When we have someone in our life who has walked the same path, it’s not a coincidence. To have others who can truly understand every feeling and emotion we endure, it can be that outlet that makes all the difference in a grieving journey. 🪽

I had a woman and a man present who both lost their son. These two were neighbors and the similarities between their sons were insane from details of their departure, to passing as the same and even loving the same football team! 🏈It was special to see how the two of them in Heaven worked together to relay messages to their parents. These two were truly put in each others life to help each other through the grieving process.

There was another young male who stepped forward for his dad and sister. He brought through so many amazing details including his name, and even his dad wearing his hat. 🧢 He offered the sweetest messages for his family and support as they navigate an entirely different chapter in life. He talked about his parents finally taking the opportunity to travel and encouraged them to find a way to live following such a devastating loss.

One of my favorite moments came when I was channeling for a young woman who lost her friend. He passed in an unfortunate way. He talked about his struggles here and acknowledged she walked a similar journey in life. He was so proud she had the strength to get herself on a different path in life and showed how much he supported her. He also mentioned how she has and will continue to help people who struggle with the same things. She had mentioned being three years sober and everyone in the room clapped for her. I will never get tired of watching strangers laugh with one another, cry with one another but more importantly support one another. Togetherness is such a beautiful thing ✨

Last Friday I traveled through a snow storm to Old Forge for a group reading. Let’s just say Moose River Road was quite interesting. On Saturday I get in the truck to travel for another group and find this penny frozen to the running board. When spirit talks about Pennies from Heaven, this is exactly what they mean 🪙 🪽

So grateful for another beautiful event at The Lincoln Loft yesterday. ✨ Every gallery reading is different and special in its own way. A good portion of this reading was centered around the dads in spirit. We started with a strong father energy stepping forward for his son. His father acknowledged his investment which was really his business and one of his proudest accomplishments. The male mentioned that his father owned a restaurant. Then I heard his grandmother in spirit say “They were my recipes!” The recipes in fact originated from his grandmother. His father brought back special memories that involved the two of them cooking together in the restaurant which his grandmother was a part of too 🍝 His father validated watching over the family and even knew of his grandson recently purchasing his first home. 🏡 His father was so grateful to have the opportunity to tell his son how much he loved him and how proud he was of him.

Another dad stepped forward for his wife, daughters, and grandson. He passed comforting messages to his grandson to help him through his school journey encouraging him the best was yet to come. Then he passed a message to his daughter that we all could benefit from hearing. His daughter is currently facing some challenges and is struggling in this chapter of her life. He encouraged her to keep going and told her that things would eventually fall into place. He told her to look at this difficult chapter as a season of life; just as the seasons change the difficult chapters we endure will also change and pass with time. ❄️ 🌷 ☀️ 🍁 What a beautiful reminder for us all.

As we got towards the end of the reading a woman stepped forward for her sisters. She talked about a pin and said I have mine. 👭👭They all had sister pins and they actually buried their sister with her pin. This was such a neat piece of validation that our loved ones know how we lay them to rest.

For the same family a young male stepped forward for his mom (one of the sisters mentioned above) and his sister. He validated the tattoo he had with his sister. More importantly he emphasized how special their bond was and that they connected so well because of their shared level of weirdness. 🛸 He gave comfort to his sister by letting her know that her baby was with him in Heaven. He brought up a quote he always said here on Earth which was part of the tattoo they both shared and also applied to his health journey. Even though he battled a terminal illness, he still found a way to surpass the expectations that his doctors set for him. He said that the strength he had came from his mom and that was how he knew his mom would find a way to navigate through this insufferable loss.

Spirit continuously validates that our loved ones never really leave us. They celebrate life with us but they also give us strength to weather the storm. ⛈️

While I was giving a FaceTime reading earlier this week I was channeling a woman’s mother and nephew. Their faith and spirituality is very important to them and she often lights a candle for her nephew at church. As I was channeling I looked up and noticed this. How amazing; a perfect cross in the trees ✨ ✝️

My group reading yesterday was an example of how spirit can pass a message to someone who needs it the most whether or not they were actually in attendance. A woman and her friend came with their list of loved ones who they expected to hear from but they didn’t expect one of the strongest souls to step forward would be for a dear friend. The man who stepped forward for them started out with his name which is always a great piece of validation. Then he showed me a moose which I almost didn’t even want to say because I thought there’s no way this is going to make sense 🫎. She knew instantly who it was and why he showed me a moose. 🍱 🛻 He made me feel such an incredible outpouring of love his for wife and family. He said he would do anything for his wife and would follow whatever antics she had up her sleeve. He showed me being so happy interacting with people, laughing and just being present. He was proud to be a part of whatever his wife had up her sleeve even if he acted like it wasn’t his forte.😂

He already knew the things people were doing for his family including the donation that is currently being set up. 💴 His passing was very recent but he wanted to reassure his wife and family he would be walking alongside them every step of the way. There’s no specific time frame it takes for souls to communicate especially when your loved ones so desperately just need to know you’re okay and you’re still there.

While this male was communicating to this woman I saw him talking to another male in spirit and he allowed him to step in front of him. This male immediately showed me coins and a strong father relationship. This was the woman’s uncle and she always associated coins with her uncle and he was like a dad to her. The other day while getting gas she needed 8 cents to avoid having to get a bunch of change back and she looked down at the store and found a dime crusted in the salt and snow. She knew this was her uncle but to make sure she really knew when she got back in her car a song by Johnny Lee immediately played which was her uncles name. 🪙 (Fun fact; these two men in spirit did actually know each other here on earth.)

While it’s always nice to connect to messages instantly sometimes we need just a little time for certain messages to pass. Last night I got a message about a woman whose mother was talking about a new baby yesterday. Later that day she saw the post involving her family member who was in fact announcing a new baby! 🍼 Another woman’s dad was talking about her mom having a change in medication. 💊 During the event she got a voicemail from her mother’s doctor saying they were starting a new medication for her blood pressure. Spirits always there to give us a heads up🤩💗

Thank you to everyone who continues to be a part of this beautiful journey🙏🏻
