Barb’s Blog

Hello everyone, thanks again for reading my blog.  I want to extend a Happy and Safe Halloween to everyone.  I love Halloween, however, my favorite and least is Christmas.  Why is it both you ask?  Well it’s because I have always loved Christmas since I was a small child.  Of course with all the celebration, gifts, giving attitudes, shopping malls filled with awesome decorations and those commercials…but it is also the month that my father passed away.  So Christmas holds a wonderful pleasure as well as sadness.  It is soon coming up and I look forward to it as well as dread it.

If you haven’t yet, sign up for my newsletter, I’m so excited about it and have received wonderful comments and stories from past clients as well as those who are just curious about what I’ve been up to.  This December I will be doing a few things, one being a Seminar on Soul Survival.  It’s so popular that I plan on holding two sessions.  Also the famed Seances…no it’s not a dark event, it’s actually full of light.  This event will be filled with spirit messages and it’s a great time to get together and have some fun with friends, family and of course the other side!

On a personal note I’ve been going through some strange feelings.  Partly I think we all go through feelings of not being appreciated or that we’re not getting anywhere with our lives, etc.  I always tell myself that what will be, will be and we have to work hard for what we want.  Sometimes it’s as easy as just giving ourself confidence and lifting our spirits that tomorrow is another day with no mistakes in it….yet.   We do not know who is thinking of us, what life we have touched in some small way.  A smile to a stranger can go a long way.

For instance, when my father was air lifted to the hospital years ago.  My mother was outside the building smoking…yea I’ve been telling her for years to quit, but that’s another story.  A young intern came up to her and gave her a small box of chocolates and simply told her…I’m not sure what you’re going through at this time, but I hope this gives you something to smile about and give you hope….remembering this gives me goosebumps and causes me to cry.  Just a simple gesture and this earth angel probably has no idea how he touched not just my mother’s life, but mine as well.  He didn’t think how silly he might seem if he walked up to a stranger to give chocolates, or that he might be turned down…but he stepped out on a limb and took this time to reach out.  I wish I knew his name and how much he helped.

So remember to give to someone else and take a chance, I would love to hear more stories from you all about kindness and how it has changed your life.

For my career, well….it’s still going strong.  But I do feel that I’m missing something, part of me knows what this is and in time I will share these thoughts with you all.  I have been contacted by a couple of producers…some I turned down and others I have sent information to.  It’s funny how that part of the business works.  Anyways - I have a lot to learn still.  James call me….  :o)

I have received a few of my pictures back and I’m gonna post at least one of them.  This is my oldest daughter and my mini me.

One thing I must say to future clients….please do not get upset if you call up and want a consultation asap.  I book out at least 4 weeks and sometimes even 6 weeks out.  There are on occasion cancellations and I do not mind that…but there are actually people who get angry, I’m not a machine people!  I have three kids, 4 if you count my husband!  My youngest being 8 months old.  Don’t get me wrong I love my husband, but ladies…come on, you all know what I’m talking about.

I appreciate my clients, I really do and I love what I do.  But I can only humanly do so much.  I am currently working on three missing person cases.  I’m booked up until the middle of November, traveling in between private sessions and also working with my current manager on some upcoming projects, not confirmed yet which is why I can not disclose at this time.  I’m also writting my newsletter.  Whew, that made me tired just typing it all and now I have to eat.

I would like to think I look like me…however, I’ve heard many times that I look like Sandra Bullock.  No I not lying, isn’t that funny.  For at least 7 years I’ve been hearing this.  Trust me everyone, I’m not Sandra Bullock hiding out being a psychic medium.  My bankbook also tells me I’m not Sandra Bullock!

Anyways, me and my family celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving today. It’s back to work tomorrow. 

People have been asking about certain celebrities such as Owen Wilson and Britney Spears.  First of all, hate to say it, but I don’t care.  Everyone has their lives to lead and I for one am trying to live mine!  I can’t worry about someone else, especially if I haven’t been asked by them to ‘read’ or look for what is blocking in them.    I will say this, it’s a terrible thing to not be able to know who to trust and who not to trust…even when looking at your own family.  It’s a terrible burden on anyone.  No one is perfect.

Now I want to know everyone’s opinion…do I really look like Sandra Bullock…come on now….geeeezzzzzzzzzz

It’s been awhile since my last blog.  I have been busy, working, raising three children and of course spending time with my husband, having my meditation/development circles and trying to figure out where the rest of my life is heading….just like everyone else.

This summer I spent time at a haunted house.  This was a very interesting case, we captured lots of EVP, video taped a moving orb and pretty much got scared silly.  It was great!!  Although not much help to the owners of this home.  The ‘ghosts’ were there to stay and although we performed a clearing, it didn’t seem to help much.  We even captured a picture of an evil looking spirit through a window.  I picked up right away this evil presence in the home and saw a lot of things I didn’t want to see….the downside of my job.

In my career as a psychic medium, I have had the pleasure of knowing a lot of interesting people.  The one thing I’ve learned is that these people, well known or not, are just like everyone else.  Everyone still has to learn what they are here for and struggle through life.   There are no easy ways about it. 

I have done many radio shows and had the pleasure of doing a small interview clip for TV.  That was interesting and I’m hoping there will be more in the future.  I have been called by some producers who have asked for media clips and my information.  Nothing has come of it yet, but then again TV isn’t easy to break into and there are no guarantees.  I have also written in magazines and I really enjoyed that.

This month, October, I have started my very first email newsletter.  The sign up is on my website http://www.barb-powell.com  I have received lots of good feedback and I look forward to writting in it again for November.  I’m sure it will get more interesting as time moves on.  I have started looking into you tube and will be posting something there as soon as I can get something together.
