I get some crazy stuff sometimes, from Leonardo da Vinci and mathematician Leonard Euler, to tattoos and family secrets.  Sometimes even I have difficulty believing some of the information that comes through, but over the years Spirit has taught me to trust and believe.

As always, I am astounded and amazed by every reading.  The way everything unfolded with respect to this reading left me in awe of spirit once again.

About five minutes before my client arrived I distinctly heard the line Delta Dawn from the song of the same name, by Tanya Tucker.  Immediately it was followed by the chorus of another country song, I’m Diggin’ Up Bones, I’m Diggin’ Up Bones, and that was it.  The music started and just as abruptly, it stopped. I didn’t even know who sang Diggin’ Up Bones.  I only knew who sang Delta Dawn because my mother used to play it when I was a child.  I never fancied that old country music she played. I preferred my dad’s taste in music – soul music, no pun intended.

Just as the songs came and went, my client buzzed and I let her in.  As usual, I had already connected to the other side in preparation for her arrival.  I told her about the person coming through who was associated with an arena.  She said it was her grandfather.  Immediately I felt pain in my chest and a knowing that a heart attack had occurred, and this is how her grandpa had passed. At the time, she couldn’t confirm how he had died.  I kept seeing the arena and felt there was something more about the arena than it just being his workplace.  I also began to see her grandfather making an odd motion with his hands.  I mimicked what I was seeing to my client.  Again, she couldn’t make out the gesture, nor could she confirm how he had died, for he had passed when she was just a little girl.

I moved on to her deceased mother who was mentioned an accident my client had. My client said she’d never had an accident…

I moved on to the other man that was present for the reading; a brother energy.  It was in this moment that I recalled the songs I’d mentioned before her arrival. I told her about how I’d heard Delta Dawn and Diggin’ Up Bones, and queried if they had any special meaning for her.  She looked at me, eyes wide;

“Did I ever mention my brother’s name to you?” she asked. I replied that she hadn’t.

“My brother’s name is Randy.  Randy Travis sings Diggin’ Up Bones. He and my other brother danced with Tanya Tucker at the Calgary Stampede years ago!”

The client had two other deceased friends/family members come through before we wrapped things up.  (It came to light that the Diggin’ Up Bones song had multiple connections for her.)

Later that day after she’d gone home, she sent me a text confirming a few things she couldn’t piece together at the time of our reading. Then she said, ‘”my grandfather died of a heart attack at the curling rink.  That motion he was making was him curling!”

Ah yes, that would be the motion he was making: pushing a curling broom. And finally – she laughed – she’d had a motorcycle accident she had completely forgotten about after her mom had died.
