Clearly, I’m not a skeptic as I’m sure you can tell. Now I won’t just believe anyone saying they are a medium – so in that regard I guess I am. But, I do love watching tv shows about mediums!

I don’t actually go seeking to speak with any loved ones who have passed – it’s more about my deep interest in the subject, and it’s always entertaining. Even so, I always leave feeling like it was a life-changing experience because of the peace and happiness she brings to everyone there. It’s fascinating, and I know they aren’t all paid actors because she has pointed out true things about me and the people I was with before!
