I am a medium working with the DPs. DPs have become a comfortable term for members of the Dead People's Society. If this sounds like I don't take death seriously, nothing could be further from the truth. What is true, is that I no longer question what death is or is not; rather, I deal with all the ramifications of the fact that we do not die.

What is as equally important to me as a medium is helping others validate their own connections/contact with loved ones who have passed over. Although our dreams, beyond a doubt, is the way most communication happens, contact does happen very differently for everyone. More importantly however, what I've come to learn is we need to believe and know without any uncertainty that we all have the right and permission (by God or a higher source) to contact or be contacted by a loved one who have passed over into the spirit world. This is the ultimate test of our faith.

It is not my job or my place to convince you of what I believe...that we do not die or that we can and are contacted by loved ones who have died. You need only have an open mind, or be open to the possibility of life after death. There is a growing body of research in my field, a nd wonderful people, practitioners, researchers, philosophers and every day people sharing their own experiences. Recent discoveries in physics regarding energy and matter have given new credibility to psychic phenomena, to mediumship, and to works of other ages and other belief constructs concerning life's continuing passages.

For the record, I come to you believing:

• There is a Higher Power.
• Life is a series of relationships.
• Death is a continuation of many of those relationships.
• Relationship problems should be worked out here, because they do not go away-and it is lot harder working them out later.
• Many of us do not work out the problems-for various reasons - and are left with grief, guilt , or anger when the other person passes over.
• You are able to work out your problem with the dead even after they have passed over.
• You'll receive information from the DP's but not instructions. Guidance yes, decisions, no.
• I was given a gift and the Higher Power intends that I share it with others.
