I am not a person who reads ghost stories. I never go to see scary movies and never have.
That said, I wanted to read my friend Killarney’s book, so I decided to #bebrave and read it anyway.
Tale Half Told: A Christmas Ghost Story is a great book! It starts out with a brother and sister, Johnny and Linda, and a husband and wife, Michael and Susan, travelling together when they decide to take a brief detour. It turns into a nightmare. It’s a nightmare with a purpose, however. Their current situation parallels a tragic event from the past which somehow begins playing out in unusual ways in their present. Keep reading

I was in the middle of two other books when I suddenly felt an urgency to read this book. 
I picked this one up and put the others aside. I read another book by this author last year, Hands That Heal, and enjoyed it very much. This book popped up in much the same way, out of the blue. I forget how I even learned about it!
So right at the beginning, Echo talks about listening to her mother. This resonated with me because just this week, I was talking someone (My husband? My daughter? My higher self? I forget!) about how I never listened to my mother. I have no idea why I didn’t. But my mom, as Echo describes her mom, “…always had an uncanny knowing about everything that happened in our lives.” It was unsettling, I always thought. Now I know why: it was her intuition.

I was approached by the author to do a guest post here on my blog and that’s how this book came to my attention. Don’t you love it when interesting books find you?
Any girl worth her salt has probably kept a journal or two in her time, whether she privately thought of it as her diary, just a notebook, or a pile of random napkins and Post-its (me!), it provided an outlet for thoughts and feelings that needed to be voiced.
What I love about Z.Z. Rae’s book is that she took the traditional, time-honored concept of the journal and blended it together with keeping a dream journal (which I just started talking about in my Metaphysical Monday videos!) and incorporating messages that come through from angels and guides to create a useful reference that serves us all.

Verde River, Camp Verde, Az. Great Blue Heron photo by Esther Shapiro used with permission
Last week I was driving by the river near my house and saw a Great Blue Heron from the corner of my eye. Amazing! So beautiful! He (I believe) held himself motionless in the river for several seconds so that I could be sure of what I was seeing.
My husband said, “You probably just saw a stick.”
A day or so later, passing by the same river, I saw it again! I had the exact same thought that I am having now as I tell you about it: Amazing!
This time my husband was with me and also saw it. Stick? Ha! I think not!
I was sorry I wasn’t able to get a photo of my heron, and then the next day when I went to work, there he was! The Great Blue Heron was sitting in my email inbox, sent by a friend and colleague, Esther,(who wrote a wonderful book that I reviewed on my other blog, kwrites (just click on her name to read the book review).

You don’t have to suspect your child of psychic tendencies to enjoy 
reading Growing Up Psychic by Chip Coffey, but if you do, then you’ve found your book. Chip knows his topic from both sides of the equation. He was a psychic kid, and he has worked extensively to help other psychic kids understand, appreciate, and own their individual gifts. He likens psychic ability with, say, the ability to play the flute. He levels the playing field, and thereby makes psychic kids just…kids. Every kid is special and every kid has their own unique abilities. The trick is to foster their confidence and understanding and keep ignorance-related fear at bay. Keep reading
