The Medium And Me
While at Camp Widow this past weekend I had an oppprtunity to have a reading with the medium Mark Anthony. I knew he was going to call to set up a time as I had been on a waiting list for about 5 months. Turns out he had a cancellation the next day and I jumped at the chance. I figured, what better place to have a reading? If it was awful I had plenty of people around to hug me if it was a good reading I had people around to high 5 with me. And it seemed like a sign, I mean I had packed myself up and traveled half way across the country to do something for myself, by myself.
So at 1:00 on Sunday I found myself sitting on the floor with my cell phone plugged into the wall right beside where the Widowed Village Booth had been. I was pretty open to the idea of a medium although a little skeptical as I had once gone to a pretty well known physic (Different than a medium) and she was way, way off on her predictions. So I came into this with no expectations, no questions prepared and no tissues.
He called a few minutes before 1, explained the process and off we went. Right off the bat he asked about my daughter and warned me that I had a budding medium on my hands. Well shit I thought, what was I supposed to do with that piece of info? But its true, my daughter is very connected with the spiritual world. It freaks me out the things that she sees.
Then he told me I had a lot of people waiting to come thru, first off was my Mom. He said she was small, but mighty and very determined to be first. LOL my Mom in a nutshell. What was said was very affirming for me and there was stuff that no one could have known unless they knew my Mom. My Mom also laughed at my frustration with my daughter but promised that she would be just fine.
My Dad came thru next. In my usual Dad fashion he brought up stuff that used to drive me crazy. It was very comforting to know that my decisions regarding my Dad were spot on and appreciated. And then to end it he brought up the Panama Canal where my Dad served in World War II. I had heard the stories so, so many times that after my Dad died, I told my brothers that at least I will never have to listen to another Panama Canal story again. Great sense of humor my Dad has !
Finally Keith came thru. I didnt know what to expect when it came to hearing from him. I mean I was pretty sure that he has been messing with me and he did admit it. He said I needed to lighten up sometimes. He also said he was loving the transformation I am making in myself. he always knew it was there but was happy that I am reclaiming myself and choosing to live life my way. He had some messages for his family and when I think they are open to it I will relay them. He also thanked me for my last decision regarding his care the last few days. He knew he could trust me to do the right thing. Whew, that has really been a major sticking point in my mind. He also had things to say about our daughter but I wont go into that.
All in all, I had a great reading and my skeptism is pretty much gone. I will say that going in with no expectations is the way to go, but OMG, do NOT forget the tissues!
By the way, my daughter attended a group reading back in Illinois on the same day. Her Dad was the only one to come through at the very end of the reading. Apparantly, with the time changes, our readings turned out to be at the exact same time. I had hijacked her spirits!

That is so cool Amy! A friend of my sis-in-law's (husband's youngest sister) is a medium and, even though she'd never met me or my husband, was adamant that Woody was trying to get through to me. We wound up being able to spend 2 hours (that now I wished we'd recorded) talking and she was able to let me know everything he wanted me to know. And I'm talking details too personal to even share here. Towards the end she asked me "Does he ever shut up?". Well right then any doubts I may have had were gone. LOL. He would have LOL'd too. Always, Woody's Girl

Oh, ok, Amy, thanks for clarifying. I just visited MA's site and read the FAQs, specifically about contact experience with one's loved one who has passed, occuring in a dream. That is a real experience for me. George has 'visited'me in my dreams so many times--when I'm distraught or even when I'm in a mellow mood. The dreams were more frequent in the first 18 months...not as much this year and his presence is not as strong now that the ground I'm standing on has become steadier.

Zee, The reading was not connected to Camp Widow other then the fact that I was there when he called to set up a time for an appointment. I had been on a waiting list for awhile. But it was amazing and to me so worth the cost.

I also had a wonderful experience and Justin came through very strong - and I know he is happy - but he is wants me to be happy and when the time is right - he is waiting for me. This was so worth going - and if anyone wants to know other details email me. It was so amazing.
Amy - I went to lecture of Mark Anthony - and out of 41 people - I was one of 6 that got picked. He is very good also. He signed my book and wrote "Let Go of the Sorrow and Hold on to the Love."

I'm happy you had a wonderful experience, Amy. I had always been curious; about 5 months after George's passing I attended a medium symposium by James Van Praagh in Beverly HIlls - but it was not a one-on-one reading. I may attend CampWidow in June 2013 (might be a good way to mark George's birthday, June 28th) and may sign up for a reading, if available. Thanks for sharing.

So glad I got to hear about this! I'd been wondering, hoping all would be well. Takes me some time, but I get around to it. You're in for some fun with your daughter, huh?

Wow Amy, that is awesome and Im so glad it was a good experience for you, I truly hope it brings you some peace. This is something that I really want to do and you just made me want to do it NOW, lol. What are the chances of you and your daughter having the readings at the same time, so amazing.

For some reason I cant copy over the info on Mark. But if you Google Mark Anthony, his website will come up. I was on a waiting list for about 3 months and then couldnt do the original time we had set up so was on the list for another 2 months. He was definately worth the wait. I have done some research on others and everything said about Mark was mostly positive compared to the others. He is expensive, but it was worth the expense to me. Good luck to all who chose to go this route. I was surprised and happy with the results.
