It was just 8 months earlier that my gifts had opened up. I wasn’t even close to understanding them. However, that Sunday, Easter Sunday of 2010, I knew she was gone. I knew before we found her that she was no longer living. 

You know Whoopi Goldberg’s character in the movie, Ghost. Remember how she shakes when a spirit enters her body? It was like that for me. I woke up thinking of that scene as my bed was shaking. I was worried no one was going to know that a spirit had taken over my body. 

30 years old. In an abusive relationship. Masking my pain with drugs + alcohol, and I started to have my first spiritual awakening. I believed in psychics and mediums. In fact, I was fascinated by them. I watched Sylvia Browne and Chip Coffey on TV, but I never knew that I had any gifts.
