Over fifteen years ago I was ready to die. 

In an overwhelming series of events my beautiful, amazing sister died from brain cancer, and way too soon after, I lost my child to pediatric cancer. In the surrounding months, I lost my parents, my Godmother, and two of my dearest uncles. In 18 months, I planned and attended seven funerals. 

I didn’t just lose my family, I lost myself. 

I was exhausted and numb. My will to live had vaporized and I could barely function. I spent my waking hours in front of the TV in dirty sweatpants eating massive amounts of takeout. I gained 75 pounds in three months, could no longer recognize myself, and prayed each day for my own death. 

What was the point of living anyway?

Worried friends eventually came banging on my door to say “enough.” With their help, I got myself off the couch. After a much-needed shower (and a clean pair of pants) I forced myself to get help. 

I went to a bereavement therapist and attended support groups and workshops, looking for answers in churches, synagogues, seminars, and temples. I meditated, cried (a lot), beat things with a bat, tried plant-based medicine, got bodywork and energy healings, and screamed obscenities into the void. 

With these experiences, I slowly gained tools to help navigate my grief and loss that were far more effective than my couch, pizza or mind-numbing television. And after all that, I was forced to explore an uncomfortable and frankly annoying possibility...

That all of this was happening not to me, but for me. 

I was most surprised by my sessions with a psychic medium. The opportunity to speak with my child and my sister provided a level of healing that was unexpected and profound. 

It was so comforting to be seen and to hear from the people I missed the most.

During these conversations, I gained insight into the greater picture of a “life” beyond my limited view on earth. I learned about soul contracts with my family. I learned that each loss was meant to offer me a choice: to either awaken or suffer. I learned that each member of my family was thriving and exactly where they needed to be - including me. 

I began to understand that all this death had a greater purpose in my life.

One day, while I was vacuuming my apartment, my sister called my name. Although she had crossed over, she was able to come and talk to me, each day sharing new lessons and insights. Sometimes she would teach me profound lessons from her perspective of life without a body. Sometimes when I was driving she would tell me which way to turn to find a parking spot. 

Thanks to my sister, my clairvoyant gifts became more apparent every day. As my devastation began to soften, I also began to hear, feel, and experience communication from many spirits. I learned that embracing my journey - no matter how painful - would eventually lead me to my life’s purpose. 

I continued to more deeply explore my clairvoyance, learning from both spirits and human teachers. Then, through a guided meditation I was able to move to a new plane where I spoke with a voice that called itself LYRAC. This voice explained to me that it was a consciousness of master spirits. They offered detailed knowledge of the spirit world and the workings of the universe. 

Eventually, LYRAC revealed my life’s purpose. 

I learned I was to be a soul mentor and support my fellow humans to navigate life aligned with their divine truth. I learned the hard way that the most challenging and devastating parts of our lives hold the most potent path to awakening. 

Spirit is always teaching me something new, and I am honored and humbled to share it with you so that you can find freedom, look for miracles and experience the joy of being alive. 

Reframe your perspective, Revive your life.

I was having a host of health problems and lots of trouble sleeping that no medical doctor had an answer or treatment for.  No matter what I did I simply could not get out of the cycle of illness and injury.  My reading with LYRAC gave me insight into what was happening on a spiritual level. They also gave me daily rituals and exercises that began to alleviate my symptoms and I was so excited to start sleeping again!!!!  I did not expect that kind of support from a spirit counsel - but it was a wonderful surprise.
