A Conversation with Candace

I have blogged before about Candace Lord, an east mountain trance medium. I wrote about a reading she did for me with messages from my dad. Since then, I've kept in touch with her, feeling that I could learn so much from her, and she has graciously spent time with me, answering some of my questions about life as a medium and sharing her own story, which I find fascinating. She is a kindred spirit, a future dear friend, I feel. She has assured me that it works that way -- kindred spirits find each other. 

All the signs point to this friendship. Our story in many ways is similar. We are both 5s and we are both Aries. In fact, she and my baby grandson share a birthday. She was 58 when she opened her office up in Albuquerque; I am 58 now as I begin to learn, do readings and write this blog. She is kind and has a positive energy that speaks to me. She is caring and encouraging. I want to be that, too. 

One evening, Candace was explaining to me that when messages come through to her, she goes into a trance. She is called a trance medium. She crosses over to the other side for messages. She told me, too, that she has been told that sometimes when she goes into a trance, the face of the person coming through shows on her face. She said that when she was learning her craft, she attended a lot of circles. 

"The things I've seen, Michelle," she whispered. "There are many dimensions..."

It was at this moment in the conversation that Candace's voice changed slightly. It became lower, a little more gravelly. I could feel a different energy through my phone. She said, "Wait, I have a message for you. This will happen sometimes when I'm just talking like I am." She paused a moment and then, in that low voice, said, "You need to speak your truth."

I knew exactly what she was talking about. The past year has been hell and things need to be said. Tears ran down my cheeks. Wow! Since then I've been doing just that, speaking my truth. It's only been a couple of days but it seems like since then, things have taken a turn for the better. 

The last few days, I've been thinking about myself when I was younger. I am an Aries but through young adulthood, I was not a typical one. I was not cheerful, motivated and confident. I was not a leader. I was incredibly shy and anxious. I was severely depressed. 

Now I think I'm very Aries. What is up with that? I feel like there was past life stuff going on...

I'll let you know what I find out. Until next time, peace.
