Sunday June 8th, 2014 saying goodbye to Rich. He is leaving for 3 months to embark on his next adventure in life as a US Marine. But first, he must earn that title at a brutal boot camp. The second time I channeled a message from mom, it was for me. It was just a few days before my 46 th birthday at the end of that long depressing summer. I was going to see my dad before we left for Richards’s graduation from Marine boot camp in San Diego, California.               M y birthday is 9/11. 9/11/2014 was 'Family Day' for the graduating Marines in Richard's Company. I would finally get to see my son for the first time, after three long months apart, on my birthday! Rich had left for boot camp three days after his high school graduation, 6/8/2014. I missed him beyond words that summer which added to my depression. I couldn’t wait to see him again!           On Saturday, Sept 6th I was going to visit my dad t...

It’s a special bond that spans the years. Through laughter, worry, smiles, and tears. A sense of trust that can’t be broken, a depth of love sometimes unspoken. A lifelong friendship built on sharing, hugs and kisses, warmth and caring. Mother and daughter, their hearts as one, a link that can never be undone. ~ Author Unknown I channeled three letters from my mom in the first year following her death. The first letter was for my father, the second letter was for me, and the third time there was something for both of us.            The day after mom passed, I went home to be with my family. The funeral was scheduled for Saturday, May 17 th , 2014. Randy was still out of town. There was a lot to do before I could go back to help my dad get ready for the funeral. Richard was a senior. He was leaving for boot camp in less than a month to become a Marine. Life is busy anyway at the end of the school year with a senior, trying ...

Goodbyes are not forever, are not the end;  it simply means I'll miss you,  until we meet again.   It was Monday, April 28 th , 2014. I had picked up my nephew from the airport the previous night. We were meeting my sister (his mom), his dad, his step dad, and his brother at my parent’s house. They were coming to see our mom for the last time. We had a really nice day with all of us together. We listened to mom sing her favorite songs. She told us stories of her life. She still had a clear mind. She was in good spirits over all, even though she knew her time here in the physical body was almost up. For my sister and her family, this would be the last time they would see mom alive. At the end of the visit, one by one, each of them said their goodbyes to her. It was a really touching moment to witness. After they all left, I stayed as long as I possibly could before I had to go back to my family. It takes me two hours to drive to my home from thei...

Meet our newest grand-daughter, Scarlet Jane Garrett. Living two hours away from grandbaby #2 is a lesson in patience for me. She grows and changes too quickly!! Another precious red-head joins our family, just like her papa. What an angel when she is sleeping, but just like most red-heads, there is a passionate fire in her soul, keeping her parents up a night! A future healer at heart! Look at those precious, tiny hands. <3 Super proud papa, you make beautiful babies son!!

             March 31st, 2014 Logan, Ut.  The way of Reiki is a journey we all can take; a journey during which time we are both student and teacher, a seeker of truth and the giver of wisdom and each step taken gifts us the opportunity to find the knowledge and understanding we search for. ~ Phillip Hawkins I started volunteering for Hospice in February of 2014 giving Reiki treatments to those at the end of their physical life. It was an amazing experience working with those close to crossing over. I have beautiful memories of love, healing, and connecting with Spirit while giving Reiki treatments. Although I no longer volunteer for hospice at this time, I will be forever thankful for the opportunity I had to perform that service. I hope to volunteer with hospice again someday. My mother was my second hospice patient. She was diagnosed with small cell cancer in her liver and colon on January 17 th , 2014. It was Monday, March 31 st...

Interestingly, Joseph Smith was not the first person during his lifetime to envision this idea of the three kingdoms of glory, or the three kingdoms of 'Heaven'.  “Emanuel Swedenborg was a world-renowned inventor and scientist in the 1700s. At age 53, Swedenborg began experiencing visions and dreams. He claimed to have been appointed by God to reform Christianity. (just like Joseph Smith!)  For the rest of his life, he published the information he received through his frequent visits to the spirit world.   Swedenborg taught there were three degrees of glory in heaven, comparable to the sun, the moon, and the stars, the highest being called the Celestial Kingdom.   A library near the Smith home carried the book,  Sibly’s Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences . Historian Michael Quinn has already demonstrated that this book is the likely source for the Smith family’s magic parchments.   This book also contains a 20-page summary of Swed...
