If you have been a long time professional reader you know that it can bring you to a point where you are no longer surprised by how unkind and hateful people can be and the tragedies life can inflict on people. A tsunami of sorrow....

I have often thought of what the ultimate purpose is of having such a gift and how to use it to the greatest benefit. The greatest problem we all face is the lack of credibility associated to our craft and the amount of ignorance there still is to overcome. Sometimes you just have to follow where it all leads you and the past couple of years I have been led into the land of Cold Cases, Unsolved Crimes and Missing Persons. I was always someone who liked a challenge and I have met my match now. A murdered or missing loved one is a sorrow that time will not erase and families wait decades for answers. Some of these families have found their way to me and it is changing my world.

Visit The Doe Network . This site has extensive listings of unsolved crimes, unidentified bodies and missing persons that are over 7 years old. It is one of the most comprehensive listings available. This was started by volunteers and they have assisted in solving 35 of these cases so far. They deserve enormous kudos for this effort. This same group of dedicated volunteers, from every vocation, walk of life and circumstance, also run the North American Missing Persons Network, this site features newer cases. Both sites are updated regularly. Since information in Canada on these cases is hit and miss at best, I have been working with another group of dedicated individuals in building a site for Canada. This is only one satellite of a larger community. Please check it out here: Porchlight Canada. A new webring of members site has been added to this page at the bottom.

I created the "Ritual for that which is Lost or Missing" - it is Christian themed. I can see and have accurate impressions but that isn't the proof the police need to make the arrest and, despite the hype we hear and the TV shows which depict it, they don't take psychics seriously. Sometimes what is needed is a confession, a location or someone to come forward with the information needed. We all know that we are trying to turn sensations into observations and too much of our information comes in without the full context. This ritual is designed to remedy that.

I must admit to initially having some extreme reluctance in undertaking these endeavours - there is no room for false hope and you have to be a totally compassionate person with a real gift before you even step up to this plate. There can be little or no information to go on and the intense emotional aspect of it can make it easy to fall into the trap of reading wishful thinking. But when you get it right or the information you come up with is accurate to the circumstance, it makes all the burdens associated with being a seer, more than worth it. There is always somebody crying.......
