November 2011 Book update        Remember that book I've been writing  for two years?  Clearly, I was blissfully ignorant as to what the project entailed, I can still hear my friend Kaye laughing when I chirped,  "I'll be done in six months!"       Well,  I am furiously working to complete my manuscript and submit it to my editor who will reveal how many more months or years of work it may need. It's not my first edit or even my second. I won't bore you with the details and  cause your ears to bleed - no - rather - I will say its been a  remarkable journey that has deeply enriched me - except when it didn't.        I can report that I have come into alignment with the telling of my story and soon I'll be ready for the next step. Thank you for the abundant support and encouragement, it means a great deal. Most Sincerely, Nita Your not listening to me!     "Your not listening to me!"  I shouted over the shower water that pelted my head, "If the plant flowers all the time,  ....."  But my husband cut me off and said, "Jeez, I heard you the last three times!" "Really?" I asked, "Because I dont think you did. I don't think you listen to me." I huffed. "No," he corrected me,  "Your the one that doesnt listen to me. I already answered you - twice!" "But you never acknowledged what I said." I complained.             That's how our conversation went, back and forth, until I stood with a towel on my head while water dripped from my body and pooled on the fuzzy rubber mat beneath my feet. "Okay,"  I said wrapping myself in a thick cottony towel and staring my stubborn husband down, "I'll concede." I went on, "That I must not listen because, as you know, we are mirroring each other and I hear you insisting that I don't listen, so, I'll have to look at that behavior, but back at you buddy." My husband made a face at me  and sauntered off.           I kept my promise and recognized that, in fact, as a result of feeling unacknowledged, I repeated myself again and again and didnt listen to my husbands reply because I really wanted to make my point and maybe, just maybe, I really wanted to be right. Dang-it.       My husband days latter admitted, "Ok, because we've lived together so long,  I think I already know what your going to say before you finish so, I inturrupt you and don't let you finish,  so then, you think I didn't listen." "That's because if you interrupt me, you aren't listening." I replied. "Ok, I'll watch that." My husband agreed. And just like that, it's over.              I have to believe I'm not alone in having this disagreement. Aren't  we  each convinced were right in judging someones behavior and the accusation's we direct at  them are  the same one they accuse us of having?       Oh, and it doesn't matter if its your spouse, your neighbor, sibling, parent or kid or even your co-worker, its still a mirror, always reflecting our image. Even if the behavior differs slightly from what we accuse, we still have a part in it. The secret in knowing this is true, is in our judgement of the other person. If we judge it, we own it.             Holidays tend to bring up mirrors that we keep cleverly hidden most of  the time. My suggestion is to simply accept that within our judgement of another, lies an aspect of our own behavior and embrace it, rather than deny it. In this way we can recognize those things we wish to change and then we can have a different argument and wont that be fun?       Have holidays filled with love, forgiveness and acceptance.

It was the third or fourth time that day I'd heard the disruptive boom's. In fact, it was day three of the annoying interruptions. I knew the noises weren't "house noises" as my husband had suggested, they were deliberate- someone was making them though technically I'd been alone. I walked to the center of the house-my arms locked stubbornly across my chest. "Okay, who is it?" I asked out loud as my eyes scanned the room. But there was no reply and whatever or whomever had been there was gone.    In  my bedroom the next afternoon I found dozens of delicate pearls sprawled across the floor that had fallen from a houseplant. One had to physically bump the plant to cause the tiny buds to let go and they were not there when I'd left that morning, someone had been in my room.      I scooped up the mess and on my way out I saw on my dresser, my favorite figurine of a fairy with wild hair that  sits on a crystal ball, she had been turned completely backwards. Okay, now there was no question- my body hair stood erect- someone was definitely trying to get my attention. But I couldn't detect who it was.    I hadn't realized someone sitting on the couch until I passed them, it was 7:30 am and when I spun around in suprise, they were gone. I was certain of what I'd seen. Who was trying so hard to reach me? I wondered.    Then my friend Christian called, "Nita" he said in a voice tight with emotion, "Ingrid died sometime this week. We just discovered her body and we don't know how she died. I thought you would want to know."       The reason he thought so was because upon hearing the shocking news of his sisters unexpected death, Christian got a flash of memory and saw Ingrid and I standing together in our uniforms smiling and laughing. We'd worked together and had been friends. But that had been more than two decades ago and Ingrid and I hadn't kept in touch. "The image," Christian said "was crystal clear and bright." I wondered, had Ingrid given him the memory so he would call me?        Goose flesh crawled along my skin. It all fell into place and I realized my old friend was visiting. She'd been trying to gain my attention all week but I was unable to recognize her energy. After my recognition of Ingrid she was able to communicate with me and asked  if I would be her medium and deliver a message to her family which I was honored to do. The next morning I had to write fast to keep up with all she said.      I gave Christian Ingrid's message which he read at her memorial to his family and Ingrid's friends. He didn't tell anyone where the words had come from. They were stunned and absolutely silent as Christian delivered his sisters missive and wondered how he had come by these words that sounded and felt like Ingrid herself had spoken them. They felt comforted and happy to hear what Christian shared. It was Ingrid's gift to them.      It would have been easy to doubt the signs of Ingrid's presence- to question myself and disbelieve the evidence she'd left and frequently, that's what we do. We question and doubt, we tell ourselves we are imagining.     Sometimes our intuition is not so overt, it's more subtle.      Have you felt or seen something you suspect is connected to a loved one who has passed? Sometimes we see our loved ones in what feels like a dream or we feel a flash of energy that brings their essence back to us in a breathtaking wave and we know it was them. Sometimes we smell them. Sometimes they speak to us.        It can take time, acceptance and practice but we can learn to understand and embrace our unbreakable connection to a world that we can't always see.       Thank you Ingrid.               *If you would like to read Ingrid's words to her family, visit my website and click on Ingrid's words.
