Thoughts from Suzane

June is such a special month for so many reasons - between graduations, weddings, end of the school year, and for many, most significantly, Father's Day. I, for one, know so many wonderful fathers who feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be just that, a father.

Just as with "mothers" who may not be the birth mother, many "fathers" out there have taken on the parental role. One such a person is Andrew Evans, a 62-year-old former schoolteacher who "adopts" African-American boys who have no father figure. Andrew takes them on outings; counsels them about homework, manners, and girls; and most important, simply listens. His message to the kids is, "Just be a good team player in life and you will always be a winner."

I would be remiss in not acknowledging our current President who himself really didn't know his father well, but now makes sure that, more than anything, he himself is a good father. You can see the pride and love Mr. Obama bestows upon his daughters, which is so important. He is there to inspire his girls and any all young women really, that they can do anything in life.

Mr. Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father" - which I heard about from a friend but have not read yet - is a memoir first published in 1995. Obama's parents separated when he was two years old and divorced in 1964. After that, the president-to-be saw his father only once more in 1971, when his father visited Hawaii. Mr. Obama's father later died in a car accident in 1982. As the story goes, the younger Mr. Obama formed an image of his absent father from stories told by his mother and her parents. My friend, who is a writer, could not rave enough about the book. I totally trust her opinion and I think I have a summer-read picked out for me already.

Of course, there are so many of you out there who have fathers in spirit and have so many wonderful memories, and maybe some memories that are not so wonderful. Either way, know that during this time especially, your father is around you and loving you in the way you need to be loved. I know how difficult that is to believe when there is no physical presence, but you need to trust and know deeply in your heart that Love has no boundaries, or limits, including physical death. Our spirit, the essence of all we are, is always there. The fathers in spirit are just a loving thought, dream or feeling away.

Warmly,
Suzane

Calendar of Events

Suzane will present a special weekend workshop, "The Afterlife," at Omega Institute this July
Drawing on her best-selling book, A Medium's Cookbook: Recipes for the Soul, Suzane teaches us to open our heart and mind, listen, and make contact with our loved ones in spirit. Through interactive exercises and techniques, we learn the many specific ways that contact with the Other Side occurs and have the opportunity to experience very real connections. We explore how our own emotional state affects our ability to make a connection, the importance of intention, the best tools for connection, and how to use those tools in combination to create a banquet for contacting the spirit world. Ultimately, we learn to overcome any fears that may be blocking our progress, and journey courageously to connection with the Other Side.

Tickets: Register at the Omega website.

Because You Asked

The first question in this newsletter was sent to me by Tony:

Dear Suzane,

I'm sure our house has spirits. Our ten year old daughter sees them and she is terrified. I think she has seen them since she was about three years old but her fear has increased lately. Any advice?

Thank you,
Tony

Tony:
I'm sure this has been very difficult for all of you since we wish more than anything to protect our children. These spirits are probably drawn to your daughter because children are often more open and thus susceptible. As to why these occurrences are causing more fear in your daughter lately, that would be very hard to answer. This just might be a difficult period. In any event, what your daughter needs to realize first is that these spirits can do her no harm. Second, she has the power to send them away. What she needs to do is take an authoritative stance and be firm and forceful. My usual directive is to tell unwelcome spirits forcefully, and repeatedly if necessary: "If you are not here with God's permission, LEAVE!" Believe me, this works! You can call on the "angels" as well to assist. You may also want to consider setting up a ceremony of prayer of sorts, whatever might work for you along these lines.

Finally you might want to smudge your house with sage (i.e., light sage and go through your house and spread the smoke all over, into every corner, behind and under furniture, etc.) so these spirits really get the message that they are not welcome. While smudging, repeat my directive (above) to let any unwelcome spirits know that they have to leave.

All the best . . . keep me posted.

Blessings,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Eileen:

My daughter and I had a big fight two days before she died in a car accident, I miss her so much. Do you think the reason I don't feel her around me is because of the fight?

Eileen

Eileen:

I am deeply sorry for your loss. A child's passing is without question among the most difficult.

The reason you feel you have made no contact is likely connected to the intensity of your grief, and surely is NOT because of a silly argument. I have no doubt that your daughter has come to you but in your grief, you've been unable to recognize the signs. I believe that your daughter has come to others as well.

Please realize that your daughter is not focused on what transpired between you and her just prior to her passing. Rather, she sees the BIG picture and wants her mother to know that she is fine and loves her very much. Try to open your heart and realize how your daughter would want you to think and feel about your continued connection, rather than focusing on those silly words that never really express what we truly feel deep down anyway.

I would suggest that each morning upon rising, and at night before going to bed, ask your daughter to give you a message in a way that you will receive and understand and connect to. Then be patient and open, and you will feel your daughter around you.

Blessings to you,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Mari:

Suzane,

This question goes back to when I was a little girl. There was a boy in the neighborhood that I played with. We were very close and then my family moved and we had no contact 'till high school. He ended up dying when he was a sophomore. I couldn't bring myself to go the visitation or funeral. My parents did not pressure me to go either. I was wondering if he at times comes to me . . . I have been married two times, been in a long term relationship for eight years, and now am in another relationship for two years. Seems marriage/relationships don't always work out for me, and I was wondering if this is because I really in the past 31 years haven't put closure to him.

Any insight would be great . . .

Thank you.
Mari

Mari,
I honestly don't think that the boy's passing has anything to do with the problems you've been having with your personal relationships per se. However, having a relationship end is a kind of "death" and you may be somehow connecting the boy's death to the relationships that have ended.

Very often when we experience at a young age the loss of a close friend, conflicts or difficulties arise because of unresolved feelings. But despite the early history and no matter what, you CAN have a full connected relationship with someone. You may need to work a little harder when issues or conflicts arise, but it can be done.

I've dealt with many people who have had their hearts broken and find it hard to move on. Then one day they realize how important it is to love and be loved, and go for it. Try to open your heart and let love in. Easier said than done, to be sure, but I believe this is what your young friend would want.

Best to you,
Suzane

On a Personal Note

I shared this poem in the October 2008 newsletter, but felt it was worth being shared again. It was sent to me by a woman in Canada named Juliette:

THE DRAGONFLY

Under the lily pads in the muddy water of a pond, there lived a colony of water bugs. They lived a comfortable life in the pond, but once in a while, sadness would come to the colony when one of the water bugs would climb a lily stem and disappear.

Then, one day, one little water bug felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, she was determined she would come back and tell her friends what she had found at the top. When she reached it and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, she was so tired and the sun felt so warm, that she decided she must take a nap.

As she slept, her body changed into a beautiful dragonfly. She spread her wings and flew! And, as she soared, she saw the beauty of a whole new world she had never known existed. Then she remembered her friends. She wanted to go back to tell them that she was now more alive than she had ever been before. But, her new body could not go down into the water. She could not get back to tell her friends the good news.

Then she understood that their time would come when they, too, would join her in the sunshine. So she spread her wings and flew off into her joyous new life!
