We live in a reality star world—where seemingly average people can attain national fame without doing much. While I don’t fault anyone for their successes, I am saddened there are some who are driven to step into the limelight at any cost. Allow the Universe take us where we’re meant to go What’s wrong with going [...]
Love. We all want it. But many of us don’t realize we already possess it. While at this moment we may not be in the throes of romantic adoration, it doesn’t mean that love isn’t present and contributing to our well-being. This exceptional gift takes many forms, whether it’s: A friend’s willingness to truly listen [...]
I’m happiest and most spiritually fulfilled when I dedicate a little time to quiet and solitude each day. It’s a rewarding break from my demanding job and life’s responsibilities. Simple, seemingly mindless activities help me: connect with divine energy and guidance, live more in the present, grow more comfortable with myself and feel one with [...]
While recently conducting research for a potential post, a fresh realization struck me: The after effects of people who had NDEs are similar to those I experienced after encountering the spirits of the Goldfield Hotel in central Nevada.

Whether it’s your weight, your skin color or how you dress, you are not your appearance and you are certainly more than the genetic traits you’ve inherited. For me, it’s your thoughts, beliefs [...]
If you’ve had a loved one worried about your spiritual salvation because you’re a paranormal investigator, take heart: they love you. And love is never bad. But how do you address their concerns (if you choose to)? Here’s what I’ve learned over the years from studying the Bible and my experiences with ghosts. The New [...]
Following a fairly recent murder/suicide in the paranormal community, I was stunned by the actions some ghost hunters took to try to contact the newly deceased.

We must always approach this activity seriously and respectfully. I’m [...]
