By the time I was eight years old I learned the true meaning of physical trauma as well as verbal abuse. I could pour a mean rum and coke and make sure all ashtrays were empty for my parents. This challenging beginning gave me the survivor skills I needed for later in life. I was forced to be on my own at the age of 14 and that created such grief and loss in my life. The loss of relationships that would never be. Later I experienced near death and a direct connection to God. These lessons opened up a new world for me. I was awakened to healing energy through Reiki and learned that I had the ability to feel, hear, see, smell and even sometimes taste what people from the other side wanted me to share. So they could be acknowledged and get their message through to their loved ones. I became an empathic psychic medium and in these pages I share how it all happened.
