Looking back over the last week I realise how blessed I am, as ever, to work in so many different ways with Spirit.
With a mixture of evenings of mediumship, private readings, private tuition, workshops and a brand new 'slot' on BayFM radio which began on Thursday, I reflect back to my many years working as a trained Baker and Confectioner without a thought of ever becoming a Medium!
Life has an amazing way of taking unexpected paths, and being on the night shift in my small shop in Lincolnshire, putting finishing touches to wedding and celebration cakes, I could never have imagined how my life would change and will no doubt continue to do so.
Many of us find ourselves in a far distant place to where we imagined we would be at a certain time in our lives. Sometimes those changes can send us into unfamiliar territory which we resist because of uncertainty, and sometimes a sat nav for life's journey would seem a handy thing to have. We would all know what to expect and be prepared for change which would make the transition through life so much easier.
But would it?
The fabric of our very being is shaped by experience and how we grow and learn from it. Often I hear people say that although they did not realise why some events in life were happening at the time, the reasons so often later became clear for good reason, however traumatic, confusing or even joyous.
Nothing in life can ever stand still, even if we were to sit silently in a room for a day and do nothing the world will continue to change around us.
There are circumstances which we may have little or no control over but if we have the strength to embrace the unknown we may find ourselves on the most amazing journey of discovery of not only ourselves but of those around us.
If we find the courage to recognise that each second in time is perfect in it's existence, and that we cannot be in a wrong moment, then we are truly living life rather than simply existing within it.
Planning for the future is wise and gives us all a sense of security, but wisdom also comes from knowing that if we move to the rhythm of our own tune as it plays, the symphony then becomes a masterpiece!

Easter Already??

It surely cannot be Easter? It was only Christmas 5 minutes ago! I often hear people say that the time seems to fly by so quickly these days and there are now theories to suggest that the earth is speeding up.
I wonder if it is just that we all live a faster pace of life with texts, instant messaging and the like as well as demands on our time.
I am often very focused on making plans for what happens next, how etc and I sometimes forget to simply live in and appreciate the moment, the now.
From experience I know that in looking ahead so much of the time I often reflect back on an event, a meeting with a friend or loved one and realise that I perhaps could have enjoyed it more if I had 'stopped to smell the roses on the way' so to speak.
So, I have a few days now without work over the Easter break and I know exactly how I will be spending that time - savouring every second of it with loved ones, and the diary is firmly locked away somewhere safe!
None of us know how long we have on our journey here and as the saying goes 'Enjoy the gift of today, which is why it is called the present....'

Have a wonderful, peaceful Easter everyone, one day at a time :) xx

Another Great Seminar

Well I can honestly say I am now back in the land of the living (pardon the pun!) following another fabulous 5 days at The Coberhill Conference Centre Nr Scarborough at our annual seminar 'The Spirit Experience'
Feedback suggests that this was our best year ever with excellent Tutors Jay love and my own tutor and mentor, Maureen Murnan working with me. It was almost too much to take in that Maureen and I were sharing the week alonside each other in similar roles as it seems like only yesterday when I first walked into Maureen's class as a brand new developing medium.
In addition to many memorable moments with our guests/students was the trance experimental evening in which Maureen gave an excellent demonstration of this wonderful phenomena, followed by a physical mediumship demonstration by the spirit world who established a code of communication with us through 'rappings'from apparently inside of the piano in the room.
The evidence of Spirit contact was unquestionable to those who were there to share this incredible experience and I personally felt honoured to have been a witness to such proof of the afterlife.
Special and grateful thanks to Jay and Maureen and also to Alexa, my Course Organiser, who sadly hung up her hat for the position this year after 3 years on the team due to work commitments, what ever shall I do with out her? I wish her every happiness in her new position. Also to everyone including guests and staff who made those few days special for so many people - next year here we come :)

A New Decade

Happy 2010 everyone and I hope that your start to the new decade has been brilliant so far. Being snowed in for several days this month gave me the unique opportunity to catch up in the office and focus on new projects, in addition to bringing the programme together for my residential seminar NR Scarborough in February. I am always excited about this annual event as we always have a fab time and welcome old friends and new.
What I did notice about the extraordinary weather is that despite the disruption it caused for many, it seemed to bring people together on many levels.
News reports of rallying round to help neighbours and the elderly as well as the child in many of us building their own community snowmen, to me were heartwarming. In a world where time and materialism threaten the very existence of family life there were those, myself included, who had no option but to not go to work, and to just stay home together, proving to us once again that whatever man may create, mother nature really is the boss.
On that note also our thoughts as a nation have been with those affected by the devastation in Haiti. May it be a lesson to us all that however many challenges our lives give us, and however much we grumble about our lot,we are truly blessed by comparison.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone,

It's almost hard to believe that once again another year has passed and we are all getting ready for that time of the year.
The snowfall we have had here in Lincolnshire has put me well and truly in the festive mood!
My diary is looking very full and exciting in 2010 including working trips abroad, workshops, demonstrations, 1-2-1's and 'The Mediumship Experience' which is an interactive evening of psychic discovery and mediumship with myself and broadcaster/sceptic Frankie Hatton in the UK in the Spring.
The new diary dates will be up on the website shortly so be sure to keep checking back!
Thank you all for your support in my work with Spirit over the past 12 months and I look forward to seeing you again in the coming year, and meeting new faces also.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and may 2010 bring you more happiness than you could ever have imagined possible:)

Seasonal Reflection!

As the end of 2009 approaches what a better time for reflection and rejuvination than this.I personally feel it has been a year of great opportunity but also challenge for many that I know and have worked with.
Challenges are presented to us for the experience of becoming stronger and finding our true spirit within, even if it sometimes seems as though there is no purpose in them at the time. Each time we work through these, we come to understand not only ourselves but those around us. challenges often bring us into contact with new friends,and give new life to relationships with those we have come to know better. The joys in life bring us these too, and of course life does need to have balance.

What ever the coming year brings, embrace each moment knowing that everything is divinely in it's rightful place and time, and that there is a reason for all things.
Dont forget friends, a new motto for 2010 - Love like you've never been hurt, live each day as if it's your last, and dance like there's nobody watching:)

New Update

Hi Everyone,
As ever the diary has been very busy since my last post. I had the great pleasure of being invited to work in Belfast for a few days and that was a great experience. I had not realised just how warm the people are there and I was made very welcome. Brian lynch, a lovely proffesional medium runs a centre there where I worked and there is clearly a huge interest for mediumship in Belfast. many thanks to Brian and John for organising the trip and I look forward to returning next summer:)

More recently I went out to San Roque, Spain to take part in a brand new demonstration of mediumship which I developed with my friend and colleague Frankie Hatton who is a broadcaster and sceptic.
'The Mediumship Experience' was a very enjoyable evening with some excellent feedback as we invited audience participation with psychic excersises followed by a demonstration of mediumship given by myself and with a difference.
Frankie provided a valuable and entertaining balance as a sceptic/ investigator and asked the questions most people would really like to ask and often don't, bringing uniqueness to the evening.
We will continue to develop this and hope to bring it to the UK in 2010 as a mini tour so will keep you all posted:)

The diary is packed with workshops, 1-2-1's and dems for the coming months ahead to keep me out of mischief but I'll update again soon.

Love D xx
