Evidential Psychic Medium, Mollie Morning Star, answers a question from a bereaved parent in Dallas, TX who has a concern that young children might be unable to communicate during a group event. Mollie explains why you may, or may not, receive validations from any specific Soul at a group event, what to expect at a group and the right reasons to attend this type of session. 

Shortly after I moved into my home, I totally redesigned the entry. The previous owners had erected a fence that blocked access to the yard. From the moment I first saw my house, this struck me as off. Once I removed the fence and rerouted the walkway, I carefully chose landscaping that would create a sense of being welcomed. I wanted guests to feel drawn in, then enveloped in comfort.

Over the winter, several of my boxwoods were killed by the harsh weather. Nothing says, “Welcome!’ quite like a bunch of woody, dead bushes bordering your entry. (Ha!) The work involved in removing the bushes is ridiculous. I spent over an hour and a half on just one!  As I hacked and dug away the gnarled root system, I couldn’t help but to think about how hard it can be to start over. 

There is so much to clear away before we can even begin to plant again.

 I'm sharing this story again in honor of my brother Bill's 50th birthday today.  I've been telling him for weeks I want to find $50 as a sign from him--so far I have found 2 pennies and 4 quarters. (The beginning of a fortune!)  Enjoy the story! 

The very best communication a person can have with a loved one in Spirit is the one that happens on it's own, without the help of a medium. I simply validate the connected presence of a loved one, but I don't make it happen. Because a Soul who is no longer present in a body can't simply show up and talk to you, we have to learn how to trust the synchronicity and coincidences that display their love for us.

Last week in Chicago, during the final group session on my Spring Tour, I delivered a message that is still dancing in my head. There was a young woman in the audience whose close friend had recently passed from cancer. The friend came through loud and clear to me. There was no doubt it was her, communicating from a higher realm. Her message was simple: “Thank you for doing nothing.”

Evidential Psychic Medium, Mollie Morning Star answers a question from a viewer who's granddaughter passed at 7 weeks of age, 15 years ago. Mollie's shares her experiences in connecting parents with children that have passed and the different ages they may present themselves at during a session. There is also discussion on the difference between the growth of a physical body and a soul.

With Mother’s Day just behind us, and Father’s Day coming up soon, I’ve been reflecting on what a bittersweet job parenting can be. 

  A parent creates life, and then at some point has to release their most precious creation to the will of the Universe. In the toughest scenario, parents have to endure the death of their child. I remembered how I struggled when my two children hit their 20s and moved out of our home to permanent residences in their college town. It took me three months to stop crying and readjust my life. But no matter how sad I might be that my children have moved on with their adult life, they can still come back, fill my house with noise, and be a part of my physical reality. A bereaved parent’s options are far fewer.

In today's video blog I answer a popular question about dream visits from loved ones passed. Not only are these visits real, they can prove to be deeply healing gifts. I discuss the differences between spiritual visits and typical dreams, frequency, and why a loved one may choose to pass a message to you through someone else's dream.

I’m wrapping up my Spring Tour and heading home for two Wisconsin events this weekend. Being on the road can be tiring, but you sure do learn a lot when you are out of your comfort zone and making your way through unfamiliar territory. One thing I have learned being on tour this past month is the importance of doing the “right thing,” according to your heart.

I've just returned from a wonderful five-city tour of the Upper Midwest that involved driving about 1,300 miles.  Let me tell you, my back hurts!  When I would sink into my car, I'd turn the seat heater on high because it provided some comfort for my aching back. Churning through my mind, though, was an incessant worry about what might be happening beneath the surface. Three years ago I had back surgery to remove pieces of a broken disk. I had suffered terribly for two years before that surgery, trying every possible therapy. The surgery finally provided the deep healing I needed. 

With so much time on the highway to think about the people I had met on the trip and the messages from their loved ones in Spirit, I found myself debating the qualities of healing versus comfort.

Did you grow up being indoctrinated with the belief that "It is more blessed to give than receive?" 

I'm looking deeper at this, especially as Valentine's Day approaches, the traditional day when everyone longs to feel loved. Most of the people reading my blogs and newsletter are spiritual people, and by nature, "givers." And of course, none of us would have to think too hard to identify the "takers" in our lives; people who drain us energetically, financially and emotionally. Those who are self-serving, who give no thought to the cost inflicted upon others. But I'm not musing about the takers today.

One of the great pleasures of my job is sharing the joy when loved ones in Spirit make jokes or recall funny situations that bring up happy memories during a reading. So many people are afraid of mediums, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say they are afraid of what their deceased loved ones might have to say to them during a session. Not too long ago I remember a comment left on my Facebook page from man who said, "Why do dead people...

Without a doubt, the most talked about, written about, and misunderstood topic on the afterlife are "signs" sent to us from a loved one in Spirit. 

• What makes something a sign and not a natural occurrence?
• How do we know who the sign is from?
• Why don't I see any signs?
• Why have they stopped?

My clients often say they feel disconnected from a loved one in Spirit. But from what I have observed, the disconnect often occurs on many levels. Disconnection from current world events. Disconnection from joy and laughter. Even disconnection from people in their lives. 

As energetic Souls who occupy a physical body, we are always connected to our Source. You can call it Spirit, the Universe, God, whatever name you like. If you can, imagine yourself as an electrical unit attached by millions of small wires to literally everything and everyone with whom you interact. We always have access to that Source--our Higher Self. To access it, we must to learn to listen from a place other than our ears.

Over the last few weeks I've taken some time to reflect upon 2014 and what it brought to my life. While I experienced plenty of wonderful, easy and joyful moments, the year was heavily laden with personal growth for me. I'm trying to make that sound positive, because in every challenge there is always a helpful lesson, but to be honest, it was entirely difficult to navigate. If I could sum up what I learned from it all into a sentence, it would be, "I learned to live into the answers."
