There's a Power in Letting Go

'There's gold in them thar hills' - Mark Twain

Monday August 19, 2024 marks the fourth anniversary of my blog. This post makes the 109th published article. Forever a data nerd, I like to count things. I spent some time this afternoon reviewing old posts, rereading and snipping some screenshots and bits of wisdom I discovered for myself. There is some gold in there after all! 

I recall when I started this blog I was terrified. What would people think of me and my weird musings? Will people believe me when I say I talk to dead people? Will they judge how I see the world? I would post articles and think whomever needs to see it will see it. I did not employ social media for these posts. I was not trying to promote anything. Some articles had less than 20 readers and I was totally OK with that. Who am I to push my thoughts on people? How long can I stay inside the spiritual closet, because I will stay as long as I am allowed.

So much has changed since that time. I am happy and proud that I was brave enough to start sharing my articles broadly. I hope that someone has been able to see things a little differently because of something that I wrote or shared. I may not be right but I do aim to get people asking questions about all of this. What are we doing here? What happens to those we love who transition? Are we here randomly or is more at play?

My goal when I started was this: to share my observations and to hear yours. With the goal of shifting consciousness towards love.

Lofty ideals I suppose. 

But isn’t that the point of healing? Here is the other thing I know about myself. I learn best while teaching, I heal while healing and I witness miracles through connection. Basically, I need all of you! 

I had a client this week who was struggling. Spirit showed me she was like a ball bouncing in an empty racquetball court. No windows in or out, no rest, just perpetual motion and stuckness.

(As an aside, my readings always start with the energy the person is experiencing and then we dive into the rest.) 

We eventually connected with a male spirit who was standing with her. She had taken a sip of water and commented how cold it was. I heard his voice as clear as day in my head, “She is always cold.”

I led with that. She immediately started crying. She likes everything cold she said. We determined this was her son. He was giving her a giant bear hug but was really concerned at how she was doing. He showed me he was trying to get through to her but that she wasn’t listening. 

She was looking for him everywhere, but she didn’t see him. 

He showed me he was using music to connect with his sister. Was this working with her also? She said she turns the radio off. She can’t listen to it. 

He wants to connect through dreams. She doesn’t sleep long enough to have any dreams. 

Rightfully so, this client, this mother of this young man who passed, was in so much pain it was easier to stay “on” all the time (racquetball in the empty room) than to slow down enough to feel these messages and connections. 

I told her in order to move forward, to feel him, to help others (which was very much a part of her energy) she needs to start letting the music play, to go through his stuff, to allow some slow time to feel. 

I did not order this for her. This is what he showed me. He was very clear with all of his messages. 

I never pretend to know what is best for someone but I will tell what Spirit shows me. 

And seriously, how cool is that? To let divine wisdom show us the way to heal and thrive!

And if possible, I will share my witnessing and learnings with you. 

This is what I am here for. To find whatever pathways to healing that I can for whomever sits down with me. 

This being human is so hard. We are these sensitive, deeply feeling creatures who are plopped into this world with all its imperfections and other deeply sensitive feeling creatures. We are all trying to figure this place out. To find our place, to find our people, to see where our pieces fall together. And ultimately at the end of the day, the longest relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves. How can we maximize that experience?

There will be highs and lows on this journey. We are not promised an endless ride of joy as we pass through this world. We must however find the wisdom, joy, healing and connection when it presents itself. That is our job.

I will never stop sharing these messages and observations. It may shape shift in coming months, outside of the blog, in other ways. But I promise I will always be doing this work. 

I reached out to my client who lost her son to ask her permission to share some of her reading. She quickly responded, “Yes please! You brought me so much joy.”

And that is all the validation I need to keep doing this work. So to hesitant 4 years ago Christy, you are on the right path. Don’t step away and don’t let anyone else steer you away. 

I thank all of you who read my blogs, who share them and comment back to me. It warms my heart and provides me with the fuel I need to keep going. Thank you to those who trust me with your loved ones and your stories. Thank you also to all of our people and guides on the other side who make this all possible.
