I had a reading with a client from Nova Scotia, Canada last night.  I learned a very good and important lesson from this session.  I tend to learn a lot from each consultation but last nights was an important lesson that had to do with my work.  I tend to be really nosey with my sessions and I try to ask lots of questions from spirit.  A few of her family members came through last night, but the most important was her son!  Her son was being very evasive with the way he passed and I couldn’t understand the why.  Why wouldn’t he tell me, so I asked him to show me.  He kept telling me that he it was at his own hand, I kept thinking…what did that mean, did he cross himself over or did he have something to do with it?  It did not feel like he committed suicide, I knew he didn’t kill himself….although he was feeling ‘down’ the last few weeks of his life, but that’s a personal story that he would not want me to share.  He also showed me that his chest was tight, difficult to breathe as if I had asthma.  He also said I just went to sleep and thought I was having a dream, that dream being he was seeing ‘dead people’ was the way he said it…his crossed over family.  But he wasn’t having a dream, he really had crossed over and his family helped him the rest of the way.  But I kept trying to get the way he passed, not really realizing that he just told me the way he passed.  He just didn’t fully understand the entire way he passed.  He said he was clumsy, another word being forgetful.

His mom told me that he had left the stove on and passed away in his sleep due to smoke inhalation.  See it all matches and I was amazed, I truly was!  Her son did tell me the way he passed but I just didn’t realize it.  Lesson learned.   Thank you to Marilyn’s Son who is watching down on her and the family waiting and playing with his ‘new dog’ and playing sports!  RIP

I have just purchased the book by Eckhart Tolle, A new earth - awakening to your life’s purpose.  There is a FREE online web class with Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle beginning March 3rd in the evening.  I have already signed up for this.  I encourage everyone to join this event, should be very exciting and interesting.  I’ll be sure to write back here what my thoughts are on this class when I take the first one.

I never ever knew that there are some people who are actually interested in what I have to say about my regular life!  I’m just a mom from my kids and on occasion that annoying little voice they hear utter to go to bed!  But I can see how many people visit my blog now and I’m very appreciative that you have come swinging by to visit.  I will try to keep things updated every month.  I have also updated the website with upcoming events and where I’m going to be.  If you ever have any ideas of what you’d like to see me do or what city you’d want me to visit, just comment here or leave me an email or voice message.  I would love to hear from you all.

February has so far been busy as usual with two of my children with birthdays!  My little baby has turned ONE and my oldest has turned NINE.  I can’t believe how time seems to fly by.  It’s rather scary really.  I’m heading to Regina again this March, see the website for more details on things…lots offered in that city!

It’s been an interesting January so far!  Some exciting things are happening and I’ll fill you all in soon.  If you haven’t already, go back to the main website and sign up for the monthly newsletter.  All the information and details will be posted there first.  A new video streaming my work, a new office, new management, media appearances, etc will all be told within the next couple of weeks I hope.  February 1st is when the next newsletter will be posted with the above details.  Also new dates for workshops, mentorship, coaching, seminars, paranormal meetings, group meditations and group development courses will be listed!!  You don’t want to miss out of all of this.

I’ll be out to Regina this February 10th and also for an investigation.  Everyone asks for predictions for 2008.  I’ve been asked to do a show with Colleen Wilson for her program Short Cuts on Global Televisions, the main focus being predictions.  I’ll be on her show January 30th.

Until next time….keep warm in Saskatchewan and everywhere else unless your my in laws who are fighting ‘hot’ weather in Florida!!

Where in the world has 2007 gone?  That year for me has slipped on by, which is a bit scary.  Time flew by, especially as I look at my girls who are growing up very quickly.  My oldest being 8 going on 48 and my middle child who is 2 and my baby who has turned 11 months old.  I can’t believe she is that old already.  Seems like last week that I was in labor and …. yes …. on the phone with a client doing a reading, hahahaaa.  No I’m not kidding!  Anyways, everything turned out ok.

2008 is going to be so exciting for me.  I have some TV appearance offers that have come in and also some local appearances which I do find thrilling!  I’m hoping to do more in person type stuff such as workshops and galleries in Saskatoon.  All this will be announced in the newsletters that go out each month.  So if you haven’t already signed up, do so by heading to the front page of the website: http://www.barb-powell.com and entering your email address.

I had my mother in law, brother in law and father in law all down for the holidays.  That was a fun time!  Some of you also had the privilege of meeting Shelia and Peabo Powell.  She will be back and hopefully to book some more private sessions with you all.  They tend to swing by here every other month.  If you’re interested, please just email and someone will give details about when the next time she’ll return.  She also does Reiki and so does Peabo, they are terribly good at it as well.  I’ve witness this myself.

For the last couple of months in 2007, I’ve been busy getting together a video of me in action!  We’re in the editing process of trying to get this all together, I’m hoping to have a little view of it on the website in a few months.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this process, I am very grateful!

I wish all of you the best in 2008, let’s keep in touch!  The beginning of a new year allows us a cleansing of sorts.  A new start for some.  Let’s sit down and gather our goals of what we want to accomplish.  I love journals and encourage everyone I meet to have one!

Sincerely, Barb Powell

Took off today to get my hair and nails done..yes I cut my hair.  A good 4 inches off and layered.  I get back to work tomorrow after 3 full days off.  One of my sessions tomorrow is by telephone from Ohio and the others are in person.  I enjoy my telephone sessions, mainly because I do not have to ‘dress up’…lol

We had a blizzard today, there is tons of snow on the ground now, the other day the temperature was minus 26 degrees.  Yes, that wasn’t a typo…minus 26 for all of you in very warm areas….sigh, I know I was born to live in a warm place!  The wind is bone chilling.  Have any of you been watching America’s Psychic Challenge?  I do not get that channel here in Canada where I live.  I have a good friend that is competing and I do wish I could watch it.

I can’t believe it’s almost December!  Where did November go….where did summer go?  WOW.  My daughter has her first Christmas party of 2007 next week, she’s bringing her little sister…that should be fun.  I have a few events planned for December, one of them being a seminar of a gallery like setting.  If you ever watched John Edward/James Van Praagh TV shows, then it will be similar.  I do not offer this type often and thought I’d go out on a limb.   Reason being, I don’t like being the center of attention….funny isn’t it.  My work as psychic medium gives me enough attention, I don’t need more!  But I am stepping outside of my comfort zone because I feel it’s needed. 

The next 5 days are going to be a whirl of consultations and travel.  Heading to Regina yet again and also to St.Louis, SK.  Full days and then heading back to Saskatoon.  Plus the days in between are private sessions, telephone and in person.  Mostly in person this week.  Aside from the Ohio telephone reading, there is California and also British Columbia and some other place but I can’t remember now.  I am now booking into middle of December, I hate to even be that far off with bookings….until next time, keep warm!

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.

This was my day for today…I had appointments.  I got up, sorta got dressed.  Then grabbed the phone and began my telephone readings.  First one went well, same as the second.  Lots of validations for the psychic mediums readings.  I then had an in person session.  I hate driving!  Especially when there is traffic and slow people..whew…I finally arrived!  Yes, it was one of those sessions.  Very confusing for myself but made sense to the client.  A child came through who had crossed themselves over!  Yes a suicide.  Very tragic indeed.  I feel very bad when I connect with these souls.  It all went well I just hope I gave the client some relief, hope and perhaps a bit of energy as well.

It is the end of my day, I don’t take on too much sessions in one day unless I’m traveling.  I am sitting at my computer, looking at my emails, yes I do read my emails.  My 2 year old is upstairs and cried for a bit, she hates going to sleep.  I will go up there in a few minutes to find herself playing in her bedroom, or perhaps asleep with her diaper off.  She is very stubborn and resists almost anything unless it comes to food.  Hopefully she will be potty trained soon.

I asked my husband to run out to get me a slush, he’s a great guy!  I’m very lucky to have him.  The other day I could not go to sleep.  I had a spirit in the room who wanted to talk to me.  I hate that!  I just want to sleep.  I didn’t want to appear rude, but come on.  It’s 1230am!!  Well, I did chat….a little bit.  Turned out I knew this energy as it was my husbands Nanny….talking about coffee and her love of it.  Good Grief.  She also started talking about sugar twin.  I guess she never used it, so says my husband, but I beg to differ.

I am gearing up to head to New York.  I’m hoping this event will go well.  I’m nervous, I do hate being in front of a crowd, but I do know it’s going to become my life.  For that I must be grateful of the opportunities that I have.  Thank you spirit.  I want to plan a ghost hunt with my development circle.  I set the development circles to happen once per month….hmmm…thinking here.  Why not do one online, that way…long distance clients or those who want to take part…easily can…oooh a chat room with sound!  That would be awesome!  That way, we can still take part in meditations….HOW COOL !!  Keep reading for more developments and the real life of a psychic medium…with kids!!  Oh and a husband of course…
