Do you want to talk to a loved one, no phone required? Also free.

Raise your hand if: 

a friend has popped into your mind seconds before they call or text you and it feels like a psychic moment. Maybe you can’t get a song out of your mind and then you hear it in the grocery store that day. Or, you had a dream about an old friend and later you run into them.

I’m certainly not psychic so I can’t see you raising your hand, so maybe tell me what happened in the comments. Then I can tell you about the twenty-year recurring dream where Tom Cruise is telling everyone how much he loves me while I show him my ID to prove that I am Ann Garvin and I don’t think he knows me. True story—that it is my dream, not that Tom loves me.

I love a good psychic-adjacent experience.

I wish I were psychic, had ghost friends, and could find my Ouija board, although that thing freaks me out.

I wish for these things because I want hard data that there is more to life than trying to log in, retrieve passwords, verifying, authenticating, and then successfully logging into my stupid email where I get more than my fair share of promotions for women of an age that feel mean with regards to my hard-earned aging.

I want to know that there is more to me than finding 8000 plastic hangers in my basement because two kids graduated from college, moved them into my house, and then left them behind.

Or that the pain of my broken toe might be less painful if I know my Mom is floating around me sending only positive vibes.

I was thinking about all of this when I met Sally Hawk who is the founder of www.VerySoul.com. Very Soul is a platform where you and your friends can receive a free mediumship reading. Yes, free. No strings attached. No credit card needed. No one will know unless you tell them. (I’m not receiving any payment for this recommendation even though this sounds like an advertisement.)

I was psychic-curious so I gave it a go.

What my dead parents told me:

The medium said my dad called me a pistol and was sorry he was crabby a lot of the time. My mom said she was grateful that I held her body close to me when she died.

And my colleague Connie Kirk, showed up and answered the question, “What am I missing?” And I didn’t ask her that question, I was holding it quietly in my mind.

Maybe you don’t believe in this.

I mentioned this experience to a friend who said, “I don’t believe in that stuff,” and I said, “I don’t think you have to subscribe, believe, or commit to anything to have an experience of it. I don’t always believe in zoos but I go see the otters sometimes.”

You can just show up.

For me, I got to leave my 8000 hanger-reality and that was worth the hour.

Try it yourself before this code expires.

Maybe come back here and tell me how it went. Share this email with a friend. Have fun.

Tell your loved one I said, Hi.

PS: Remember when I met with a pet psychic and learned that Peanut, my beloved, overly adored, heavily treat-motivated Pomapoo, wanted to be a bumble bee for Halloween?

PPS: Not much after that I had thoughts about how my father might have changed for the better after dying. The essay I wrote on it: “What Does Dead Dad Think Now.” I read it again and it made me laugh because my dad was a character and then cry because I miss him.
