HAD LUNCH YESTERDAY WITH A MEDIUM

My friend ANNA and I traveled to the coast of NJ to meet NY friends halfway for a picnic lunch by the beach. However, it was a day filled with "interruptions", which naturally we "rolled with"......

First of all, the GARMIN GPS was instructed to show us the "fastest" route to BRICK, NJ. We were on a back-country, 2-lane road for miles and miles and miles and miles....... We took it in stride and enjoyed the diversion from typical highways and saw beautiful miracles of nature throughout the countryside. Here is one example - acres and acres of vibrant yellow FORSYTHIA (is there any other color than yellow forsythias?).

   

It could have been frustrating that it took us 2 hours and 45 min to make a 1.5 hour drive, but it was so pretty...... AND we were not in a rush because our friends, HELEN and GINGER called us and were going to be delayed because THEY had a flat tire (for the first time in about 20 years). They called AAA...... who arrived and found that the spare couldn't be put on the van....... so a flatbed truck was summoned....... the van was driven to the nearest dealer for a new tire....... and they waited 20 minutes for the tire to be delivered....... and then installed....... and we arrived almost at the same time (now further north - in SOUTH AMBOY, NJ).  

Windy and chilly, the "park" had a lovely gazebo by the water, but no tables for our planned picnic lunch, soooooo.......  

..........we set up lunch in the back of HELEN'S van. Too funny. We had a great time and naturally there was more food than we could eat! Homemade Individual GREEK SPINACH PIES under the red lid........ hot pepper jelly was delicious on them, as it was on crackers with cheese, etc.

So, you're asking, "What about "THE MEDIUM"??"

ANNA and I met HELEN LALOUSIS a number of years ago in a TAROT CARD READING course. HELEN is a PRODUCER and for as long as we've known her, HELEN has had a goal of trying to help families who have lost loved ones, put some closure to their grief. She's worked with many PSYCHIC/MEDIUMS in this quest. She's filmed interviews with the MEDIUMS and family members, has noted confirmations of information and has successfully helped MORE THAN A HANDFUL of people find answers to questions about loved ones who passed unexpectedly, often by murder or suicide. There will be a documentary in her future.

GINGER (VIRGINIA ROSE CENTRILLO), a PSYCHIC/MEDIUM since childhood, is a member of the PA PARANORMAL ASSOCIATION (PPA) and is known in her field as "THE HOUSE WHISPERER". The internet is full of information about her and you can even listen to interviews and enjoy her NY ITALIAN accent.  I love the internet.  I love GINGER'S accent!

HELEN and GINGER met while trying to solve a "COLD CASE" (murder) several years ago. ANNA and I listened in awe to the facts that she and HELEN have been gathering to help solve TWO MAJOR "COLD CASES". I'm sure you've heard about MEDIUMS helping police to solve "COLD CASES" - well, GINGER does it in some of her free time, while most of it is spent running two unrelated businesses.

Naturally I can't share any specifics about either case, but I'm fascinated by the extraordinary ability some people have (and have further developed) in order to solicit help from "the other side". Our world is full of unexplained phenomena, and this ability is one to add to the list. If you have personally experienced "intuition", and wonder where the "messages" of intuition come from, perhaps you too have a curiosity about or belief in the ability of MEDIUMS.
