The Bruiser

Nine months after Midnite passed away, I got the worse craving for another cat. A friend of mine offered me a kitten and I rushed over. By the time I got there, her husband had gotten attached to it. When I meet the kitten it just made my cravings worse.

A couple of weeks later, I went into PetSmart to check out the cats. At first none of them appealed to me. I went around the corner and I saw a ball of white fur in a cage. I asked the lady if I could hold the kitten. I held this bundle of fur. The kitten purred as I cradled him in both arms, then climbed up me, and proceeded to lick my face like a dog. He climbed back down to the original position, purred, climbed back up, and licked, licked, licked my face. Be still my heart, I fell in love with this kitten!

I felt it was a sign that the lady in charge of the adoption name was Judy, because that was my Mother’s name. I got the forms to fill out to be approved for adopting the kitten, Snowball. I went outside and looked over the forms. I needed a reference from a friend and a vet’s name, not a problem. Uh oh, I needed my landlady’s approval. I closed my eyes and spoke to my guide Merlin. I told him that I really wanted this kitten, that I would give it lots of love, and would name it after him. The rest is history, Snowball became Merlin.

Merlin was a very intelligent and hyper kitten. I nicknamed him “The Bruiser” because he destroyed many toys, a lampshade, shower curtain, and comforter. He plays very rough, has a bad temper, and has attacked me. That summer during the bare leg season, one of his scratch marks would heal on my legs, only to immediately replace with another.

The reason I didn’t murder Merlin or toss him out onto the road from a speeding car is, besides being so cute, he is so lovable. He would climb on me and plop himself down for lovey dovey time. Merlin loves to be held as I walk around and he touches objects. His favorite place to be held is the closet, he loves the closet. Check out this Pinterest board http://pinterest.com/revpamelac/merlin-closet-adventure/   Yes, at fourteen pounds he gives my arms quite a workout.

One of my friends calls him “Puppy Dog” because he is so friendly. If you enter my home, be prepared to not only pet him but to carry his Highness around. When there was a major leak in my place, he was very pleased because three workmen came to visit him. He was having a ball, whacking them on the head as they climbed up and down the spiral stairs!

Merlin’s proud Mommy could tell stories about him forever. What is really interesting is I had readings from three different psychics who didn’t know each other tell me the following:

1. Merlin is very special and that his name suits him.
2. He wanted to come back as a human in this lifetime.
3. He is a freakish man.

When I was hosting the Spiritual Learning Connection, Coryelle Kramer, an Animal Communicator, was a guest on one of the radio shows. Merlin would not leave me alone and insisted that I hold him about ten minutes into the show. Coryelle knew he wanted to give me a message. He wanted me to meditate more with him. What was really interesting is when she told me that he practiced herbalogy and alchemy when he was human! My Merlin really is a wizard!

A special message from Merlin, “I got my eye on a five level condo at PetSmart, so take advantage of my Mommy’s eBook sale that ends this Sunday http://www.pamelacummins.com/books/ and it smells so yummy!”

 

Birdy Bird

When Midnite died in October of 2008, I was heart broken. I knew it would be unfair to adopt another cat because it would be a replacement to compare to Midnite. I thought about getting a guinea pig because I had one before, but that didn’t feel right. I went to Borders bookstore to do research on different types of animals and visited a couple of pet stores.

So two weeks after Midnite’s death I got a pet I never had before, a parakeet.  In the car I was trying to decide what to name the bird, when my guides said Birdy Bird. I know it is such a unique and mature name! But at the time it felt right. I used to call Midnite Baby Baby, and it had the same rhythm.

A day or two later I was grieving Midnite very badly, it became very apparent that Birdy Bird was a total rebound to make me feel better. Which of course it didn’t. I needed to go through the grief process. I thought to myself that maybe I would give the parakeet to my friend’s daughter because I knew she had one as a pet before and would know how to take care of it. I asked God that night to give me a message in a dream about what I should do with Birdy Bird.

That night in my dream there were hundreds of these funky, unusual looking blue birds on the ground. At one point they all took off into the sky and flew away. Except for one, who told me it wanted to stay with me. The next morning I had my answer and knew Birdy Bird was mine.

I intuitively knew not to let him out of his cage because there was a cat in my future. I know some people think that is cruel; but that is how he grew up and is used to it. He now is on top of a tall bookshelf so my two little hoodlums kitties cannot get him.

Birdy Bird is a joyful bird who loves music and singing. As my father said, “That bird sure has a pair of lungs on him.” He is famous on Psychic Gone Wild radio show for his singing. Yup, he is a ham and show off. On one show he was singing, and singing, and singing through out the entire show. My co-host Kelly was cracking up about it. The minute I got off the air he got quiet! Luckily, he doesn’t do that all the time.

I wish I could understand my parakeet’s language. But we do communicate. My boyfriend was a non-believer until one day when we were getting ready to go to lunch. The Beatles is one of Birdy Bird’s favorite bands, especially their earlier music. At the time “Mr. Nonstop Singer” was quiet, I said to him, “Birdy Bird, do you want me to put the Beatles on for you?” He did one quick tweet. The look on my BF’s face was priceless!

So who is your bird’s favorite band?

Ode to Midnite

My next blog series will be on four of my animal babies. Many of you know how much I love my pets and animals. The following is an article that I wrote when I worked on Psychic Source back in 2008.

Animals are God’s greatest gift to humans. Pet owners will learn the lesson of unconditional love that animals give. Unlike humans, pets love their owners for who they are at any given moment. Whether we are having a bad hair day, are in a bad mood, or are being mean to them, they still love us.

Pets can also drive us crazy. They will poop or puke on our clean carpet, destroy our property, whine or cry, and wake us up in the middle of night or crack of dawn.  They do not always behave the way we want way we want, for example, beg for food or crave attention when we are busy. Dogs bark when we are on the phone or watching a real good TV show.  Cats love to lie on the keyboard or tarot cards when we are working. Love them anyway, they teach us so much, and it is our pleasure to serve them.

If you are very lucky, God might gift you with an extremely special, soul mate relationship with a pet, which will be unique to all your other pets. I was fortunate to have that with my kitty, Midnite.  We communicated very well with each other. I understood her different meows and body language. We would communicate telepathically with each other. I can’t tell you how many times she would join in my meditations when I was in church or other groups of people. She understood a huge vocabulary of words and loved when I spoke to her in baby talk. One friend commented when I got her in 12/99 (she was almost two), that I was teaching my cat “Bad English.” Yet another friend recently thanked me, because I taught her to talk to animals like they are human.

Midnite taught me to enjoy sitting in the sun, to slow down and enjoy the moment, and to enjoy good food.  She also taught me to enjoy playing with her and allowing my inner child out. Most important was the lesson of our lovey, dovey time and the unconditional love we shared.

Because of my psychic abilities it was easier to understand the message Midnite and my Angels were sending me. In a dream I was informed of her upcoming passage. Over the next few days when I chose tarot cards concerning Midnite I would get transformation, completion, sadness, and moving forward, no matter how many times I tried to change it.

Midnite ended up crossing over in my arms on 10/11/2008 as I sang, kissed, and stroked her.  In my grief, I‘m not sure of the time of her exact passing. I would like to believe that it was at a point when we were heart to heart and I felt such peace, love, and acceptance. That night Midnite came to me in my dream. She was purring happily and rubbed up against my leg. When I reached out to pet and hold her, she jumped up on my window sill and disappeared. She was letting me know that she was happy and free.

In closing, I’d like to say love your animals even when they stain the carpet. Do your best to spend as much time with them as possible, enjoy the moment, and love them. Midnite, I love you, you are in Momma’s heart forever. It is better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all.

If you look closely at the photo below, you will see a huge mat close to what I called – “Her pretty, white spot.” Oh, how she hated it when I said, “You got a huge mattiepoo, Momma’s got to cut that out!” Meow, hisssssssssss!

Look What They Done To My Food, Ma!

I got the above image from a Facebook post that was credited to Anita Brown. It speaks the truth and is the reason that GMOs are banned around the world. I am truly sadden and frighten by the fact that there is a now a law that does not required GMOs to be labeled. But what concerns me is the lack of outrage in the majority of citizens in the United States. Why should I be surprised? Many Americans eat foods with hormones, antibiotics, dangerous sugar substitutes, and those huge words (they do not understand) that are chemical crap.

Lets educate people that eating cheap food will only bring huge medical bills in the future. Please sign and pass on http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/obama_signs_monsanto_protection_act_time_to_label_gmos/

In the meantime, I will eat as much organic as possible. When I can not I will ask God and the Angels to bless and make my food healthy. My wish for you is to eat healthy, life giving foods!

Pamela’s Pros and Cons on Pinterest

“What is this strange pinning thing,” I thought to myself, when my niece first showed me it on her computer. I had learned to trust her judgment because after much persuasion, as a teen, she got me to read Harry Potter. I became addicted to Harry Potter and read all the books. Of course, I saw all the movies at the theater. Like I could wait for the DVD’s to come out?

Now I am hooked on Pinterest.  Just take a look at all the boards on my account http://pinterest.com/revpamelac/   There are some boards for business, funnies, Eye Candy aka men, dogs, Goddess, etc. I have only four boards on cats – Merlin and Rhiannon (my two hoodlums), Funny Cats, Kool Kitty Cats, and Big Cats. Do you think I like cats? At this moment, I am on forty-two community boards and have politely turned down others. Yes, I am now officially addicted to Pinterest.

Pinterest is good for business owners, information, finding products, and even making friends. If you want to learn more, look at the four community boards I am following that focus on Pinterest.  A community board is where you can invite members to pin pictures on your board.  I have one community board on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/revpamelac/couples-in-love/  I learned a lot about the Pinterest community and myself from this board.

I thought a community board would be a great way of meeting and get a following on Pinterest, which it is.  But my experience with this board alerted me to problems of people misusing Pinterest. The idea I came up with is to have a board with pictures of humans, animals, and nature couples. I didn’t mind advertisements or quotes as long as there were couple pictures in it. This would be easy I thought, WRONG. I have had pictures of clothes, shoes, furniture, food, and more of people advertising their products. Maybe they thought that people would instantly buy their product, in reality it makes them look foolish and greedy.  I had people also put just quotes on, which I politely asked them not to do. Some people respected this, others didn’t. A few were instantly kicked off the board when they put on nudity. At first I took the time reaching out to people by email or messaging them on Facebook. Yup, I am too nice and really have better things to do with my time.  So I made up a cover of a couple with words, “Please pin only pictures of human and animal couples.” That helped only a little. I used to put people on the board who followed my community board. What I finally learned to do was instruct people that if they wanted to join, to put a comment in one of the pins. I figured if they can read instructions, they will understand what to pin. It worked!

My biggest peeve with the people on Pinterest is the ones who do not respect the rule that there is no nudity or pornography allowed. I wish someone would create a site called Porn Pinterest to solve this problem. The folks at Pinterest are doing the best they can to solve this problem; they even made secret boards (hidden from the general public) to help solve this problem. I have even seen people write adult content on their boards. People, it is not allowed! Young children and teens are on this site. One man wrote on his bio that there was nudity and adult content on his boards and don’t look if you did not like it. So I did not follow him. Even though I did not follow him, his pins came up on my timeline page. If I wanted to see female breast I would look in the mirror! I had no choice but to block him. I respect the fact that people like nudity and porn on certain sites. I ask these people to please respect that it is against the rules on Pinterest and do it elsewhere.

Ah, I feel better after my public rant. Nothing is perfect, but I do love the majority of Pinterest. Try it, you will like it. May I also interest you in the Harry Potter series?

The Key to a Successful Relationship: Self-Love

The following is an article that was published in Lady Pens years ago. It is very fitting because Valentines Day is right around the corner. I also have an upcoming free class on this very topic, the information is at the bottom of the blog.

Are you wondering how could self-love be so important in a relationship between two people?  I will answer that question with another question, how can you love anyone if you cannot love yourself? The answer is you cannot. A great analogy is a stewardess on an airplane will always tell you that when the plane is going down, if the cabin is running low on oxygen, to always give yourself the oxygen first before giving it to an infant. If you give it to the infant first, you could pass out from lack of oxygen, and then both of you are goners. The same is true in a relationship; fill yourself up with self-love first, and then you have plenty of love to give to your lucky partner.

So what is self-love?  It is not that egotist, self centered, conceited love that unfortunately some people have. These people put their own selfish needs first even when it hurts others.  Self-love is when you respect yourself enough that you stay out of harmful situations, get your needs met while avoiding hurting others, and take care of your body, mind, and spirit. How do you cultivate self-love? The following are tips to create self-love in your life:

1. Stop pretending to be someone you are not to impress and/or please someone else. How would you feel if someone you were falling in love with turned out to be an imposter?

2. Be yourself always; if you do not know who you are, then take the journey of self discovery.  It takes a lifetime to answer the question “Who Am I?”

3. Do activities that you enjoy: swimming, walking, reading, socializing, taking classes, volunteering, etc.

4. The qualities that you desire in a mate, cultivate those same qualities in yourself.

5. Always see the glass as half full instead of half empty and surround yourself around positive people.

The more you practice the above five suggestions, the more you will love yourself.  The more you love yourself, the higher quality people you will attract into your life. The higher quality people that are in your life, the easier it is for “The One” to come into your life.

The first class on Self-Love is available free Tuesday 2/12/13 8pm ET on the Spiritual Learning Connection on Blogtalk Radio at the following link http://www.blogtalkradio.com/psychiclearningconnection/2013/02/13/spiritual-learning-connection–pamela-cummins

 

The balance of the Ready For Love program will be Five Thursdays beginning February 21^st at 8pm ET. For more information  http://www.successfulrel.com/ready-for-love-workshop/

 

Environmental Dreams

Environmental dreams are very funny to me because what is going on around you or within you is what the dream becomes.  For instance, in one dream I needed to urinate.  I went to one stall and there was someone in there.  Every stall I came to was filled, so frustrating.  It seemed like forever, but I finally found an empty one. There was no door! I didn’t feel comfortable going because there were men and women there.  Boy, did I have to pee when I woke up!  There have been many variations on that dream theme for me.

In another dream, I was working at Burger King soda fountain.  In reality that was my first job at age sixteen.  I was so thirsty that I ignored all the soda orders, kept filling my cup, and drinking soda. Gulp, gulp. Guess what I did upon awaking?

A roommate of mine once had a dream about being chased by a very loud piece of machinery. Upon awaking she discovered that a workman was using a jack hammer right in front of the house.

Once I dreamed that I was being watched; it was really creepy and woke me up.  Before I opened my eyes, I heard deep breathing. When I opened my eyes there was my cat, Merlin, staring at me. I wonder how many pet owners that has happened to?

All of the above dreams show that people are still aware at some level of what is going on in their environment while sleeping. Which is a good thing because it protects us and is the source for some very amusing dreams.

This is the last of the blogs for this particular dream series. But because I’m such an addict on the topics of dreams, there will be more. Mmmm, maybe I should do a blog on one of my strange dreams. Like the time ………

 

 

Dreams Connect Us to the Other Side

My clients often ask me if a deceased loved one came to them in their dreams.  The majority of the times my guides say yes. In the dream time our energy vibration is at a higher level so it is much easier for those on the other side to make contact. These types of dreams occur a lot after a loved one has passed away, often a few days afterwards. It is their way of saying I am OK. My clients will say it felt so real, like they were really there. That is a huge sign that it was real. Sometimes our loved ones may appear younger, when they felt at their best.

Although I heard a ton of these types of dreams from my clients, I remember mine best. So I will give my own personal examples.  The following dream is an example of how we are warned of an upcoming death, this has happened to me twice with my Mom and my cat, Midnite (I wrote an article on that and will post it in a future blog).

Less than two weeks before Christmas 91, I dreamed that I was in bed sleeping on my side, when I felt a tug on my hair. I was terrified because that was at the height of my PTSD dreams.  I got the courage to turn over and look at who had pulled my hair. It was my Mother. No words were exchanged, only the most incredible, intense feeling of love I have ever felt in my waking and dream life. When I woke up, I thought that my mother had died. I received a phone call from my sister to see if I wanted to go visit Mom, of course I went. She died on Christmas Eve.

The day that Midnite died I dreamed of her. She made her cute little meow sound and rubbed up against my leg. I was so happy to see her because she had died and reached out to grab her. She rushed by me, jumped on the window ledge, and disappeared into the sky.

Nine months later I got the worst craving to get another cat. I know I’m such a “Crazy Cat Lady.” My friend, Virginia, commented, “How funny nine months later you want a cat, it’s almost like you are giving birth.”  I ended up with Merlin, aka “The Bruiser.”

A few months later, I had a dream that Midnite got down from a pedestal and Merlin climbed up on top. I intuitively got that Midnite would no longer visit me and it was Merlin’s time. Believe me he knows he is on the pedestal and acts like the Alpha of the family!

This dream happened in a time of my life that I was going through a lot of emotional pain. I was lying on a table surrounded by a bunch of spiritual beings that were healing me, especially in the heart area. It was very safe and felt so healing. After that dream my heart literally felt so much better!

If you have had any dreams about the other side, I am offering a special of two email dream interpretations for only $15.00. Offer expires upon the release of the next blog. Expired www.pamelacummins.com

Health Dreams

We humans often ignore the signs that our body gives us when it comes to our health. They come through our subconscious when we are sleeping. This is another reason why we should listen to our dreams. I was lucky because for years I would get dreams that my moon time was coming. Hey, it helped me be prepared like a girl scout.

I had a client who had a dream that she was surrounded by plates of vegetables, so she started tasting different types of veggies. To me it was a no brainier that she needed to put more greens and other  vegetables into her diet. Another example is when I got a sample of herbal tea in the mail. A few mornings later right before I woke up, I heard in my head, “make the tea; it’s good for you.” You betcha, I made that tea first thing.

Here is my story of how dreams helped me with female problems that plagued me for years.  I’m one of those people that prefer to go the natural way for health. House would hate me! My doctor in New Jersey wanted me to get a hysterectomy, which I was totally against for many personal reasons. One night I had a nightmare about being treated by her and the feeling of being butchered. After that dream, among other things, I was totally against her treating me.

Fast forward a few years, I developed a persisted cough that would come and go. I did all kinds of natural treatments. My sister, bless her heart, was really on my case about going to a doctor. Intuitively I felt it was the wrong thing to do. One night I asked my guides if I should seek medical attention for my cough. That night I dreamed that I was in a doctor’s office sitting on an examination table and a doctor was shoving this metal tube down my throat. I was in absolute terror. After that dream there was no way I was going. Turns out my cough went away when I finally did get a partial hysterectomy, I kept my ovaries. Call me crazy but “Ms. Natural” wants to experience menopause.

Back in April I was in excruciating pain when my guides told me I would never have a painful period again. I thought they would perform a miracle and I get to keep my uterus.  I ended up in Carteret General Hospital. I still wanted to hold on to my female parts, until upon waking my guides told me to have the surgery. It was a much more pleasant experience than in Jersey, thanks to Southern hospitality. The dream I had right before I woke up after surgery confirmed that everything went well and I was OK. I dreamed that I was typing a letter to the editor raving about my surgeon, talk about confirmation!

Be in good health and always pay attention to the signs your body and dreams gives you!
