My World Today: Mind and Spirit

As the month of October gets under way normally my days are wonderful, stress free and without worry for the most part, however things are a little crazy at the moment, people who I love and care about are not the people I thought they were. This makes me very sad.

Other than that there is still a lot of activity here in the house, shadows when there shouldn’t be, voices are heard next to where I am sleeping as clear as can be that is on the nights that I sleep, it seems a day or two after a night where I can’t sleep someone passes away, not someone who I know just someone who leaves this world. I think on the night that this happens I need to just wake completely up and just center myself and see what happens or light some candles, incense and just relax. I honestly believe my mind and spirit needs this desperately.

Fitness Foods and Exercise

Time to figure out a plan for the cooler and colder times ahead when I can’t be outside, not only do I need to find ways to exercise my body to the point I am not bored but my mind as well. I have some things in mind but will be working on some journals for each thing so I can keep track of my progress.

I have been watching Dr. Oz lately and really like what he has to say about health issues and foods to eat. I have also recently been looking hard at the way I eat and what I am eating, I have to say it isn’t pretty! Hope to change some of those habits as well and hope to like what I see by the time my birthday rolls around next year!

What changes do you want to make before your next birthday? Let me know if I can help!

The Paranormal Picks Up

We thought our summer was busy well the fall is going to be just as busy for us, seems there are more and more people with activity. Speaking of activity we have it in our home as well, we always have things happen before an investigation. The latest being a shadow that was 6 feet tall that I saw in our bedroom next to Steve’s head, before that a mist of something in our room, our dog saw that at the same time as I did. Steve was stepping over a baby gate which he says he cleared only to be pushed, and lest not forget my dog who relieved herself on the bed, which she has never done before, two of the events that happened while I was talking to someone on the phone about activity in their home. Steve seems to think that whatever it is wants my attention but somehow I don’t think so. What are you thoughts?

New Interviews

The day has been a very busy day getting interviews lined up for the new season, one of the topics this season will be adoption something we really haven’t covered yet. I think this is a very important topic that I know makes some uncomfortable but needs to be talked about. We will also have back on the show Bryan Cole, a great singer! Love his music!

One thing I wish we could do a show on is the negative affects of people causing drama, not sure about the rest of you so I can only speak for myself but even if the drama has nothing to do with me I still feel the effects of it, I don’t like that feeling at all. Be kind to yourself and others around you, make the day a good memory not a bad memory, your life will be better for it.

Singing, Wedding, Investigation and Writing

Well it has been a little while since I have done any kind of writing. Currently I am singing with the praise team at the church which I am very happy about, I hope to get my loud voice back but I know it takes time but hopefully will not have to wait to long for that to happen. I am signing with amazing people, they are so wonderful, they encourage me all the time and that is jut the greatest feeling in the world. Something I haven’t had to much of in my life.

It all started about a month ago I guess when our minister Mike was practicing with the praise team and he asked me if I knew the song they were singing, my answer sort of, he said either you do or you don’t, I did but not memorized which my original thought was that he wanted to know if I had it memorized! lol I went up to sing with them and of course I was nervous! I was more afraid of what he would say or think of my singing than I was anyone else at the time! lol I should know different with Mike! lol At the end I thanked him for letting me sing with them and he asked if I wanted to sing with them on Sunday, the answer yes! That was the greatest day for me. I had wanted to sing with them for a long time, but I thought Steve wanted me to stay back there with him and I knew I had to trust myself.

Sunday was wonderful as well! I was singing next to Chris, he has a beautiful voice and at one point he just smiled and I relaxed so much. Thank you Chris, I was nervous about singing next to him too! lol The wonderful ladies that I sing with all are awesome and have beautiful voices as well they also not only encourage me and give me strength but taught me how to breathe properly for singing. I love Wednesday nights when I get to sing with them and on Sunday as well. It is so nice to have great friends who are more than just great friends around you.

We are getting ready to start a new season of interviews which I am excited about! I have learned so much in the last year and healed so much in the last year it is amazing, it has been a lot of hard work but I am proud of the fact that some of bad things in life is replaced with good memories. I hope this year only gets better for us.

I still am not sure about trusting some people even those that I love dearly, they have hurt me badly before and I am afraid they will do it again but that is something to work on I guess.

Dee is helping me with writing things and I think the reason why it’s hard to write about things that happened to me is because I have dealt with those issues and they no longer bother me, if she was to read my journal she would see something different, that is where I do my screaming, tears flowing and the anger comes to surface, I write until all the hurt is gone and I can look at what happened, deal with it and toss it aside and heal and move forward. I have in fact had many authors say that is the best thing you can do. I agree with them!

Our daughter got married this month and I took her pictures for her and Steve did the video for her. She looked just like a princess but then she is always a princess to me! lol I am glad that she asked me to do that for her, it was the greatest gift for me to be able to do this for her.

We are back to doing investigations too! We have 2 already set up to go and we will also be doing a presentation in October to help others understand what is and what isn’t paranormal and how we do things. Should be interesting.

Evidence

One of the jobs of an investigation is listening back to audio and watching anything filmed. At one location the cameras moved 4 different times when we were not in the rooms. That is the most times of a camera doing that for an investigation that we have done. As with other investigations talking began almost immediately from what ever was there.

Show today on Your Life Matters!

To many people, you say the word Crow and they immediately think of a Black Crow. Well not today. Today we want you to think of the White Crow. In fact The White Crow Paranormal Magazine. It is the free paranormal magazine for everyone, created by everyone. Just imagine something as simple as a magazine helping to bring the paranormal community together simply through the sharing of words and ideas. Joining us today is editor and graphics layout designer Rachel Weinrich. Listen to this great interview with a great frined, Rachel Weinrich today at www.yourlifemattersshow.com and be sure to check out thier magazine as well.

Great Weather

We have finally had some great weather and like most I am definitely taking advantage of that, I have a to do list that seemed to be a mile long and not sure if it was ever going to get done but thankfully the weather is allowing me to get some done.

I hope to have most if not all done before Memorial day so that we can spend the weekend with family and friends. I have posted up a lot of new recipes and I hope to use some of those this year in our cookouts. Hope you will do the same!

Memorial Day

Not only do we celebrate Mother’s Day in the month of May but also Memorial day,  like many people we also celebrate this day with great food and great friends, some decorate and some do not, this year I hope to be able to add some decorations to make the day even more special.  I found this site that has decoration ideas and craft ideas http://www.bhg.com/holidays/july-4th/crafts/,  http://www.ehow.com/way_5250444_memorial-day-decoration-ideas.html, and for recipes check out www.yourlifemattersshow.com

Let’s also not forget all the men and women that died for our country! We will be honoring them that day as well, our community has a special service that we will be attending. If there isn’t one in your community maybe you should think of putting a service together to honor those men and women.

MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE

Author: ENTERED BY GLADYS WILLIAMS, WRITTEN BY TMP

They answered their country’s
call to arms,
into battle they did go,
Where their final destination was,
No one will ever know.

May their final resting place,
Under some unknown sod,
Be forever hallowed,
For it is known
only unto God.

Mothers Day

As we all know Mothers Day is just around the corner and like many I am thinking of something for my mother, my grandmother and my mother-in-law, she too is like a mother to me and the many other women that are special to me and believe me that list just keeps growing! As I am looking on the net for ideas and recipes I found this website, http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/mothers-day-gifts, I found some really cool ideas, like the newspaper among other things, check it out! Here is another website worth looking at http://holidays.kaboose.com/mothers-day/, http://familyfun.go.com/mothers-day/ and don’t forget to check out our own recipe section (www.yourlifemattersshow.com) to find some great food ideas! This will give you a start if you like to make things with your kids or something they can do on their own. As for the rest I suggest you really put some thought and effort into your gift for your mother, anyone can purchase a shirt or flowers but really think about what would she really enjoy and love? Remember this is her day not to say that you shouldn’t treat her like a queen everyday!
