Many of you will know that gossip is rife within the Spiritualist Community but recent gossip started by an individual at Reading Spiritualist Church has helped me decide that I can no longer demonstrate at Reading Spiritualist Church.  I am yet to decide whether I will demonstrate mediumship at any SNU Church from now on. 

Whilst I have made a complaint to the church, I felt that is was handled inappropriately – especially when it was the individual concerned who replied to my complaint and hand delivered it to my door!

As a spiritualist, I am keen to live my life by the 7 principles, even when circumstances make it difficult.  I would have accepted an apology from the person concerned and moved on but considering the content and tone of the reply, I can only feel sorry for the individual and hope that they learn their lessons soon before they damage spiritualism, the spiritualist community in Reading and Reading Spiritualist Church any further.  The matter is now in the hands of a solicitior as the lies being spread are libellous.

Many people will know that I did hold Reading Spiritualist Church very close to my heart until a power struggle occured there last year and I, like other officers there, were removed by the NEC clearing the path for the mentioned individual above to obtain the power they were seeking and obsessing about.  It was these events that showed me how corrupt the organisation is and caused me to lose faith in the SNU as an organisation and agree that it is no longer representative of the spiritualists and churches that are affiliated to it.  I am no longer a member of an SNU affiliated church and am letting my Class B Membership and my SNU Award lapse.  I have now become a member of the United Spiritualists and am Cetificated as a Medium through them – Reading Spiritualist Association (the church I started in Reading) is also affiliated to them.  I do not believe that the SNU holds a monopoly over Spiritualism, its history or its legacy.  But this is my opinion and I am in no way trying to suggest to anyone that they should hold these beliefs too.

You will have noticed that I have not included any names in this statement as I do not believe it would be of any use but I felt it was important to make a statement about why I will no longer demonstrate at Reading Spiritualist Church. 

A fuller detailed statement giving details of the full events from late year will be made available soon.

Doesn’t this hot weather make you feel at one with the world?  Well ok if you’ve been stranded abroad following the Volcanic Ash then you have my sympathies!  Sitting here sweltering in the early evening heat, craving a bear (or wine – or both!) I’m thinking how luck we all are.  After the trials of having a sick doggy, I am thankful that that Blenham is still with us and whilst I know we’ll never have the Blenham he once was, he’s still my little boy!

So we have elections coming and with anothe debate tonight, it makes you wonder about what you’d vote on in life if you had the choice?  I mean, so many organised religions and even spiritual organisations will tell you how your life should be carried out – do they really have the monopoly on our earthly existences?  I say no – only we can make those decision and no one has the monopoly on our path ways.  we have to live by own mistakes and choose whether to learn by them or not. 

That reminds me of a conversation I had recently about feeling the need of conforming to other peoples views on Spiritualism.  Why should we?  We are all individuals and have to be true to ourselves.  Just because someone tells you that the sky is blue doesn’t make it blue – to one person it might be turquoise or black if its night time or red if its a glorious sunset! 

I don’t know where all that came from as I only logged onto update my blog and let you know that I’m still in the physical world! 

I do want to plug my travel agency though – if you’re looking for a travel agency in reading or looking for a holiday, then please visit my website by clicking here.  Plug over!

Good Morning All

Well time sems to fly when you’re having fun doesn’t it?  I know its a cop out phrase but its the only excuse I seem to be able to muster as to why I haven’t blogged for a little while!

Blenham is still.  Having had the MRI scand and having been diagnosed with syringomyelia, we know it’s not going to be an easy ride for us.  I say us as Blenham seems to just get on with it!  He can’t blink, has little balance and he is still paralysed on both side of his face but he just carries on - I admire him for that.  You know, Geri Halliwell spoke to me the other night (as she did to many people through the mediumm of television) and said “Happiness is loving someone else more than you love yourself” which must mean I’m extremely happy – but I’m not.  I feel pain because of the helplessness of the situation.  I’m slowly coming to acceptance but its not easy.  Thank you for all of the healng thoughts that you have sent to Blenham, I’m really sure its working  but don’t stop!

So what else is new?  Well Haunted Holidays is about to launch.  We’ve identified a number of properties to feature and are just tying up contracts etc – watch this space as they say!

Just noticed that i haven’t blogged for a while so thought I’d better say something!  Unusually, its hard for me to think of things to say – gasp I hear you cry!  Jamie with nothing to say?  That’s got to be a first!

Well the Reading Spiritualist Association seems to working well.  It’s now getting congregations/audiences of up to 50 people on a Wednesday evening which is great.  This finally means that we are starting to break even on a Wednesday.  Hooray!  We are even starting a development circle after the demonstration due to popular demand – I’ll let you know how it goes.

I have to say thank you to all those kind people out there that put my little dog Blenham on their healing lists – we’re starting to see the cheekiness come back now!  he’s still not completely better but as least we can see light at the end of the tunnel!

I would just like to thank everyone for their prayers and healing thoughts for my little King Charles Cavalier, Blenham.  He is doing well following his ‘fit’ and whilst he is still paralysed on the left side of his face, his hearing has returned and is eating again!  He forgets that he’s still ill and loses balance easily but it’s a joy to see him wag his tail and bark at the postman!

I haven’t posted for a little while which naughty but let me finally wish you all a Happy New Year!

So what news have I got for you?  Well from the material aspect of my life, I am opening up a small Independent Travel Agency and Tour Operator and I am toying with the idea of “Haunted Holidays” – package holidays with a difference!  Still an idea at the moment but may hook up with a Paranormal Investigation Company to pursue it!  We’ll keep you posted! 

Don’t forget to check out this weeks Pick Me Up Magazine (Out 14th January) which features me as the Psychic Drag Queen!

Well I’m very upset today – my mums Shih Tzu puppy, Carly, went missing on Thursday and despite the bad weatehr was spotted around the area over the weekend.  Unfortunately my mums phoned me today to say that her body was found.  Since she was missing, I’ve sent up plea after plea for her safe return and nothing has come back from the spirit world.  Not a glimmer of hope or word as to where to find her.  If I’m honest, its caused me to now have a crisis in faith.

Well I’m serving Reading SNU Church tonight - a church I obviously have a lot of time for.  You’re not really supposed to have favourites but as I trained there and was the Vice President there for a short period, it’s a church that I hold dear to my heart!  It’s also I church I get extremely nervous about serving as it attracts a very large congregation for its Thursday demonstrations!

I am supposed to be serving the church with Tricia Weaver but she is not very well so I hope you make a speedy recovery Tricia!
