He Was With Us in Spirit
My Son Was Moving In December 2022, my husband and I helped our youngest son move to another state. It was a career move, and we were so happy and proud of him. We were driving across the country some 2,268 miles west to the state of Utah. My husband and I both helped my son pack his belongings. I, along with my son, went through the many clothes in his closet that he no longer wears. As he decided to either keep or donate, we came across a t-shirt belonging to my oldest son, Richie, who died in 2007. I remembered the shirt but said nothing about it being his brother’s T-shirt. As with the others, I asked, “Keep or donate?”

Make An Extra Income While You Shop
What Is A Mystery Shopper? Companies use mystery shoppers, secret shoppers, or evaluators to evaluate if the company’s standards are being met. To keep it short, I will refer to them as mystery shoppers. They want to know in what areas they need to improve to offer the best customer experience ever. They also use this method to evaluate their employees thus allowing them to offer incentives and promotions to good employees. Therefore, they hire people, through a third party, to visit their store as a regular consumer and give feedback to the company. For that, they compensate and/or reimburse you for any expenses incurred.

As He Used to Say, There is No Such Thing as a Coincidence
Spiritualism has been a significant part of my life. It seems when I am down, Spirit always knows to send me a sign of love and comfort. Ever since my son died, the Christmas season has always been melancholic for me — especially since his birthday is on January 8. But fortunately, and as always, my forever 20-year-old angel in heaven, Richie, made his presence known during this holiday season bringing me solace and peace.

Awakened by a Spirit who Saved my Son’s Life
A True Story I am no stranger to spirits. Spiritual or phenomena activities have always been a part of my life. Not that I look for these phenomena to occur, they just happen. My husband is aware of it and has never judged or doubted me. Some of these experiences have left a lasting impression on my mind, and others I have forgotten about. But, there was one that I will never forget because it saved my son’s life. Here is my story.

Losing the Weight is Never Easy but It's Necessary
I Am Overweight! I began my weight loss journey on October 11, 2022. I am not the heaviest I’ve ever been, but I don’t want to get there either. At five feet eight inches tall, 200 pounds is not good for me. I was a skinny child, teenager, and young adult. After giving birth to my youngest, I maintained a good weight of 150-155 lbs. That was until my thyroid decided it was going into lazy mode and no longer working. Dang it! How I wished there was something I could have done to prevent it from happening. It seemed the method I was using to lose and maintain an appropriate weight was no longer working. Nothing seemed to work then and now. To top it off, there are not many exercises I could do since I am on a CAM Boot for a torn tendon. Therefore, walking was out of the question. The weight probably made the tendonitis worse. The stationary bike is my best option right now.

Published in a Worldwide Book Series: Chicken Soup for the Soul
I love writing. I can write about anything, whatever my imagination fancies. It helps that I am observant. I learned to observe and while doing so, my imagination runs wild with ideas. Heck, I wrote a small children’s nursery book regarding a cup I saw on the street while waiting at a red stoplight! Besides writing for a few online platforms, I write books and self-publish on Amazon. As well as take on any opportunities I find to submit my stories. Such is the case with this year’s Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas book, The Magic of Christmas.

Our Hearts were Not Ready to Live Without You
It has been a week and 4 days since my fur baby, Chewy, crossed the rainbow bridge. We think of him every day. We miss him greeting us excitedly when we arrive home, following us around the house, whining because his water bowl is empty or because he wants us to join him in a nap. I miss him tapping me with his paw to get me to put down my laptop, iPad, or phone because he wants to cuddle on my lap. We miss his company in every nook and corner of this house. It feels so empty without him.

Grief and Guilt from the Loss of Our Beloved Pet
Our fur baby Chewy died on Saturday, August 27, 2022. He woke up struggling to breathe and gasping for air, so we had to rush him to the 24-hour emergency vet clinic. Chewy went into cardiac arrest and the vet could not save him. He died between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m. I am devastated and can’t seem to find myself.

How Does Real Life Mysteriously Integrate into Our Sleep and Become Part of Our Dreams?
The Mystery of Dreaming Have you ever had a dream that is suddenly integrated with your real life? Were you awakened and realized that what you were dreaming was actually happening at that precise moment? This has occurred to me a few times. I never thought about it, but during the most recent experience, I tried to find a logical explanation for it. However, I still cannot figure it out. Let me give you an example using the actual dream I had.

The Party that Ended in the Train of Terror in 2222
Adam was a wealthy, attractive, single 30-year-old male who enjoyed life. A free-spirited young man. Parties, bars, girls, trips, and more were his life. He lived alone and constantly hosted parties for his friends. Often, they ended on a great note, until that day in September 2222 at the stroke of midnight.
