Send us a text With this video game we call reality getting wild lately, I thought it was a good moment in time to dance on the bridge to Heaven. If near-death-experiencers are right in their accounts, Heaven is our true home, all of us. It is rife with colors, music, and unconditional love. We need a bit of that chicken soup for the soul right now, don't we? Let's channel our inner Led Zepplin and climb the stairway or bridge to Heaven. Heaven 101 Heaven. Nirvana. Eden. Paradise. Cielo.

Send us a text When I say the word 'imagination' what comes to mind first? What age were you when you last used your imagination? I mean used it and then bragged about your skills to someone else? Were you a kid in school? I think of SpongeBob, shaping his hands into a rainbow saying slowly, "Imagination!" What if I told you it's not just the stuff of childhood? In fact, it may be a superpower. It is definitely a bridge between an idea and reality. Let's get into it. Imagination 101 Middle Engli...

Send us a text A few weeks back I showcased a retro episode, my first conversation with Derek Condit from Mystical Wares. In it, he spoke of his personal experiences with Sasquatch, one happened on a hiking trail with his daughter. I hope you caught that, his telling and later his theory about cryptids, including Sasquatch. I've been hearing it repeated more lately, but Derek was the first person I heard say this, that cryptids are interdimensional. What's that mean? They jump between dimensions...

Send us a text The Silk Road isn't just a unit from middle school history, it's more than a trade route, also. This geographical location is quite possibly the first intersection of Eastern and Western cultures and was instigated by what else? The desire to make money and acquire exotic goods. The Silk Road, besides being a geographical bridge, changed mysticism, lore, legends, and history forever. I remember learning the basic facts in school and spitting them back out for exams, never thinking...

Send us a text Have you ever seen a ghost? Curious to experience a sighting, but hasn't happened for you yet? Or are you one of roughly half of the population that that flat out doesn't believe? I had a spirit call Mama! in an old London hotel one night. I woke up fully to see the ghost of a little girl in a white dress standing beside my spot on the bed. In a cab ride to Heathrow days later, my kids said a white orb had followed me around the room the entire stay. Ghosts and spirit contact goes...

Felt a breeze blow through a thick stand of aspen, and looked up to see a column of sunlight that felt important?

Send us a text Hiking is my happy place. And recently I’ve fallen in love with South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado. It's sister, North Table Mountain in my estimation gets five times the foot and bicycle traffic. A month ago, I found a trailhead for South Table that has only a few parking spaces, which guaranteed a peaceful hike! I've done it four times since. My favorite path takes me along an historic ditch, which no longer carries water, and then I take a right and follow the erosion up ...

Send us a text On a recent episode of a podcast, guest Amarillo Valle (pronounced Vi-yah) said, "We say, happiness is an inside job. Well, peace is an inside job, too!" His statement shook me. It woke me up from some deep slumber, a type of recurring dream where I kept putting others in charge of my experience, my joy, my happiness, my peace. Why did I give away my power? When did it happen? And how do I endeavor to take back the reins? I think Season Five of Curious Cat is that journey. Finding...

If you're nodding yes, has the supernatural winked at you? Given you more overt breadcrumbs?

Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "Our breath is the bridge connecting our body and our mind.

This year was no different, because as the months have unfolded, her insights continue to resonate. One key bit explained my sense of never fitting in with anything my entire life, is when the cards, and Karen said, "You are a bridge." She explained, I am a bridge between all things.

In the last month or so I've gone deep into the angelic realms with some celestial guides. One common thread between all angels, guides, Spirit, God, Jesus, Israfil, Buddha, ancestors and any other being is that each human has Free Will. In order to be of assistance, or charm our dang lives, we have to ask. In split second, life or death instances, our Higher Self gives an imme...

Send us a text Last week as I researched Archangel Raguel, the angel of justice, I came across another angel I'd never heard of and got curious. He's best known as Azrael's coworker, as they are bookends of the dying and transition to the Beyond process. But, my he's not solely (okay no pun intended there) in charge of that aspect of the human experience. He's much more. And like the other angels, he came forward with a second half of an episode that isn't what I would've chosen. I thought he'd ...

Send us a text Episode Intro In a recent conversation with a beautiful mage in a far off mountain range that will remain nameless, we stumbled into a topic I'd been thinking about lately, how anger has been the emotion that's popped me out of periods of malaise. It's also helped snap my focus to something not okay happening in a sea of noise. It's been the kindling in my belly that's burned a path to action. But in western culture, anger is stigmatized. So is anxiety, and even fear. I did a whol...

I don't take it for granted that owls live in our neighborhood. In fact, each evening as the sun sets, I step outside and say, "Hello, owls!
