I need to hear from you. I think we need to hear from each other. The question: what are you finding helpful to cope through these recent weeks, particularly last week? Please keep the politics out of your responses if you would.

I asked Spirit for thoughts of considerations that might help you have a lighter load in the week to come.... emotionally, physically, Spiritually. Here's what I got:

EMOTIONALLY:
-read or re-read somthing meaningful... a self-help book, poetry, a religious text, a children's book
-resume any rituals you once found useful, or, continue with them... meditation, journaling, choosing an inspirational card for the day... but remember that your morning routine for example is full of habits and rituals... making your bed, brushing your hair and teeth, washing and moisturizing your face, helping your kids/housemates/parents with the same... these things count!
-re-connect with a therapist, or seek one out if you need
PHYSICALLY:
-MOVE! Get up from your desk. Walk. Sit outside. Open the shades and blinds - let the light in! Tidy and clean your space...including your vehicle, and if you use one, your purse.
-rest... if you have a sense to sit down, or lay down, DO! Pushing through things is not always the answer. Read and article about napping or resting during your day, or ask your P*P
SPIRITUALLY
-attend a service, meditation, program, etc. Online counts.
-remember that we don't always know what the other person is going through
-read or listen to uplifting spiritual materials
-play music, sway or dance if so-inclinted
-write down your 'asks'
-apologize, and use you manners

-treat others as you wish to be treated...

For the first time perhaps, I've noticed ibis around. I believe they are also referred to as cowbirds. One place I saw them was hanging out with cattle in a lovely field by a pond on our way to the vet 3 weeks ago.

Ibis are the last bird out before, and the first bird back, after hurricanes. As is often at this time of year especially, there is a new storm brewing off the coast of Africa, which inevitably is headed this way, as most do.

But I think the appearance of ibis may be for another reason, at least as to my attention. I believe ibis to be of the most hearty of birds. Staying power is what they have. "Stay the course," is something that feels right to me at present, about many things. I think ibis is bringing all of us... you followers here, to something important.

Here's what Ted Andrews wrote about ibis from his FB page, "Ibis teaches sociability, communication and working cooperatively in a group. Being around others and their diversity of new ideas and thoughts that bring about new opportunities. Be open to the process even if means wandering from current ideals. Time to expand and explore. She will teach how to probe for more spiritual and emotional nourishment and to do this with confidence. Ibis will show building of solid foundations in existing personal or professional relationships in order to reach new levels. She will show how to find the knowledge that is needed. If Ibis has a red bill and feet, her message may include one maturity and vitality. Pay attention to her color. The time period for Ibis' lessons starts from about 20 days for new endeavors, ideas, lessons. The following 3-6 weeks will see new developments really take flight. Ibis medicine teaches patience. She will show how to transition in steps as each week progresses so be ready because she heralds a new richness and fertility coming your way. The archetypal power of Ibis conveys sacrificial and protective elements in life's storms either in personal areas or towards others. Trust your intuition as she demonstrates the importance of (It's all about..) timing,"

GeeeeeeEEEE. Is this apropos or what?

On 9/11 I thought I'd be doing a post related to the anniversary of that awful day, 24 years ago. I wasn't sure about specifics, but trusted whatever was needed would come. The Charlie Kirk murder had happened the afternoon prior, and took over yesterday's spot.

Before I wrote the Kirk-post, I was sitting on my deck, listening to the pines swaying in the breeze, thinking about the post. What just at that time, drifted down from high above, and settled on the deck was this white feather. That is what I would have written about.

The feather brought to mind the last time I was at the site of the Twin Towers. It was still being cleared of debris from the deep hole in the ground. On my prior visit, the Towers were still standing, and always gave me an unsettled, eerie feeling. That visit was on a very chilly evening, with a light-as-a-feather mist falling. The tiny water droplets glistened like thousands of diamonds in the well-lit sky against the darkness of night.

Only as I prepared this post, and turned up the volume did I hear the siren in the background. The feather and the timing were apropos. Never forget.

Many people who follow this page come here for reassurance or comfort, particularly when something awful has happened that has been publicized.

Today, in and of it being the anniversary of 9/11 - well, that was E-nough. In that it is "Patriot's Day", THAT is E-nough. But for a despicable public murder of a speaker at a youth rally at UVU near Provo, Utah yesterday, that was inexcusable. I could elaborate with other adjectives. Different reports place his wife and children on-site - 'they' being the family of Charlie Kirk. Oh. My. God.

If you want to wrap your head around the dangerous (from SO many angles, but particularly to participants and Kirk's family & staff at the rally, law enforcement, other students, etc.), pull up the actual footage of the bullet shredding Charlie Kirk's throat. I did. I felt compelled to, out of responsibility to myself, my country, to you the readers as I knew I would be experiencing a calling to write about it. I suspect his neck quite possibly broke with the sheer force of the bullet. The throttling of his torso, the distortion of his face, and the explosion in his neck resulting in immediate, and massive blood loss are awful to watch. I watched it several times. Then I'll challenge you a step further - picture multiple gunshots from a similar weapon, fragmenting the bodies of little people, and their bigger teachers in Uvalde, Texas, or Columbine, or Sandy Hook. This is a fair, and responsible ask.

My belief is this: IF the public were shown these images, this s**t would for the most part, be stopped RIGHT NOW.

Do I want to see it? No. Do you and others? I cannot imagine. Last night, I found a video on T.Tok posted by Brandon Fugal, the owner of Skinwalker Ranch. A building on that campus, within view of the stage where Charlie Kirk was shot, has Mr. Fugal's name on it. His nephew was witness to the murder and mayhem. And, as all present, in danger of the line-of-fire. No need to get-technical on me, as yes, it appears the shooter had one target designated, and made an expert shot. But what's to say he would not have said, "Aw, f**k it," and sprayed the crowd?

I could have well been in Utah this week, and frankly, had I known, I might have attended the rally simply to witness it. I am curious about what drives crowds of the masses to topics I do not share a belief in. I do not like crowds and avoid them at all costs, BUT that event, I might have attended.

So, where's the comfort in this post? You'll have to stretch to find it. It is:
1) WE/YOU/I still have a voice to speak up and out that this is wrong, and unacceptable. That means EVERY DAMNED ONE OF US... straight, LBGTQ/etc., blonde and pale or tanned, or the blackest of black skin and hair, obese, thin-as-a-rail, mentally ill, healthy as a healthy horse, disabled, Veterans, Republicans/Democrats/Independents, and anything else political... that means that in this country, that if one wears a K*K hood, they too have a voice. Period.
2) WE/YOU/I continue to live in a democracy where, like Charlie Kirk, have the right to EXPRESS our voice, and to listen... to participate in public discourse.
3) We live in a country where murder is a crime, punishable to the greatest extent of the law.
4) We live in a country where we express our needs and desires to legislators (whom we ELECT, in free and fair elections), whom we must trust to express our will as a people
5) We live in a country where our people are divided. A DEMOCRACY ALLOWS THAT.

I could continue, but need to stop here. READ THROUGH THESE AGAIN and search to FIND the comfort, as I T - I S - T H E R E. Now the difficult part becomes more challenging each and every day, which is to believe it, believe IN it, support it, demand it.

My 'job' here is not to tell you how. If you've taken a basic government class in high school, you should know how. I don't give a damn WHAT 'side' you're on. Charlie Kirk took sides in life as WE ALL DO, at the very least in our private thinking. His happened to be not only nationally public, but INTERnationally public. So, rather than 'thinking' about things, he wrote, published and spoke passionately about them. His RIGHT.

Find comfort in that.

Participate or create comfort for yourself, your family, your friends and cohorts in speaking your voice as you safely can, in writing what you believe to be true, and in praying/petitioning/meditating on peace - peace that we are ALL entitled to.

When I worked in domestic violence jobs years ago, a tag-line I created for our program was, "Peace begins at home." Today, as a more deeply spiritual woman, I would carry this further for our world as, "Peace begins in my/your heart." If you doubt this, which would be a rather normal thing I would think, make it a mantra. SPREAD THOSE WORDS: PEACE BEGINS IN YOUR/MY HEART. I like taking ownership of that statement: Peace begins in MY heart. I trust that even if you don't believe it yourself, by repeating it, you can talk yourself into it. And others will follow.
*****
I make it a practice to not apologize for my words. I generally am very very careful about what I speak and write. If you've read this far, you have tremendous courage. And if you've not found comfort in it, DIScomfort is a good-thing. And it is totally permissible in a democracy.

Lastly, I write near-daily posts from the platform of being a psychic/Medium, and a Certified Research Medium with the Windbridge Research Center in Tucson, AZ. I live in Alabama. My website is my first and last names with a dot and a com after them. I read by phone. My schedule and rates are on the website, and folks usually don't have to wait too terribly long to schedule, which is relative I realize. But months and years out to schedule, just has never been an ego-fueling-festivity for me. Please schedule, first and foremost for you, but know that I am grateful as your scheduling allows me to continue to do this work.

Wow. Wow. WOW! Is all I could think, when thinking of watching the Congressional Hearing on "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection". I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE watching this. There is UAP (Unidentified Anamalous Phenomena) that I had not seen, and compelling testimony from five witnesses.

And I don't say it's worth watching simple because of new (to me) UAP footage. Instead, I offer it up as factual testimony from people, Under Oath mind you, three of them employees/or member of our government, maybe four of them? And, the testimony of George Knapp, an investigative TV reporter out of Las Vegas who has studied this issue deeply, and authored on it as well.

My socks were blown off. I have huge feet (sz. 10 Ladies, and I'm down to 5'3"). So it's really hard to blow them off. WARNING: it is just shy of 3 hours in length, but worth every single second!

"The American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions and examinations of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to Americans' safety."

Last Saturday evening, that post addressed a number of questions people had about me/the work/how I do it. One that came in after I completed working that day was from Anthea Laura King. She asked, "Do you ever see tragic events and do you not share with a client?"

There are a number of things I don't share with clients, mainly because there is not enough time to grasp all of the info that passes by me. Sometimes it comes fast and furious! I trust that I grasp that which is needed.

As to sharing tragic events to-come:
1) I do not usually see these in advance
2) I am not 'looking' for tragedy... this is because in psychic readings I MUCH PREFER to go with the client's questions and/or concerns (past/present/future). It is very very rare that someone asks a question about either what tragedies are forthcoming, or what can I do to avoid tragedy? In honesty, I would not look FOR what IS coming for a number of reasons. Instead, I would be comfortable in looking at questions such as:
-what techniques might I employ toward personal safety?
-anything on-the-road I need to be aware of?
-is my automobile in need of any particular attention?

Concerning the latter, there have been a number of times I have seen an issue with a vehicle, and suggested someone have 'whatever' checked out. I have heard back from people that they did so, and it was discovered that something was amuck.

Hope this helps!

A Channeled Message:

If you find yourself having trouble falling asleep tonight, or getting back to sleep, think of simple things - as in, simple to you. Here are some ideas:
-shades of blue - picture them, and their names (there were several in the box of 64 Crayola Crayons)
-girl names, boy names, or names that are often used for any gender be it given at birth, or otherwise... simple folks, do not quibble
-breeds of dogs
-manufacturers of ________ (fine porcelain, china, glassware, bakeware, automobiles, buses - yes I can name some of those!)
-instruments in a concert band or orchestra
-....or anything else you'd like to do such as states in the Union, the presidents since you've been born, and/or their VP's, or Books of the Bible or books by your favorite author, movies directed by Quentin Tarantino (note from Traci: that would keep me awake).
If you exhaust one subject, move on to another.
The point is, keep it simple... what you're focusing on. Picture 100 sheep and begin naming them. Simple. Easy. Peaceful. Lovely. (Note from Traci: I'm still hung up on the Q. Tarantino)....

We believe Traci is tiring while scribing...
Simple."

Last evening in the post, I answered quite a few questions people had about what I do, how I do it, or about me. If you missed it, it likely would be worth your while to go back to it. Two questions I did not get to were by Karen Cooper, "How do you access the Akashic records for past life readings? Are recurring dreams an indication of a past life experience?"

First, Akashic Records, or the Book of Life, are presumed to be a full record of any one person's lifetime(s). There are people from many cultures who study and teach this, at least two I am aware of in the U.S., one of them being Gregg Braden. I attended a workshop of his years ago in Denver, tagging along with a friend who wanted a driving partner. It was interesting, and I realized that I was already tapping into 'the records'. Either I figured it out on my own, or Guides led me to it. But at that time, Braden was teaching a process on how-to accomplish this.

So as to Karen's question, how do I access the records? I do so simply by asking. I am not, and never have been a reader who is buried in trappings of rituals, and training. Finding my own way perhaps has taken longer; however, I have developed a style that I am comfortable with, and clearly Spirit is comfortable with me doing it the way I do. If not, I know to change course, sometimes trying different things along the way.

For the second question about recurring dreams... she wondered if they could relate to past life experiences. I would imagine they could. To comment I would need to know more about the dreams in question in a session.

Note: It's 10pm my time, and the offer to look at your question has ended for today. So many great ones!!!!

Time to offer this up once again... what would you like to know about me, what I do, or how I do it??? I'll return back to this page periodically this evening (Saturday, 6 Sept'25) to answer... so check back to read what people have asked, and my replies!

A rough week for many... illness, mishaps, talk of this vaccine/that vaccine/no vaccine, troops in major U.S. cities, real and promised. Continued breakdowns in air traffic control, and the continuation of the J. Epstein sickening tragedy. One of the most dismal job reports was posted today.

On a sweet, and not-so-sweet vein, I must confess. I have successfully avoided stopping at the donut-weakness-depot for the nearly five full years I've lived in Alabama. Yet when out of town yesterday, the blinking light at Joe's Donut's lured me in. I purchased a one dozen assortment, and ate five in the middle of the afternoon in the car. Shortly thereafter I was reminded of WHY I don't do this....1) can we say B-L-O-A-T?; 2) grease suspended on the back sides of my tongue - nauseating; 3) the next day sugar-craving....oh dear! Not to mention a bit of a rolling gut, and topped with self-disgust.

On the other hand, nearly five years of donut-drought. That's rather amazing, and I aim to last out longer, on my Day #1 of a new donut drought. They did taste mighty fine going down, finished off by my icy unsweet tea cupped by my sticky fingers.

I am reminded of my final semester of college when I completed an internship at a senior citizen center. Each day, a local donut shop donated their day-old supply. That summer, I put on nearly 25 lbs. That was the end of my donut days, although I did have some slip-ups with a Krispy Kreme in Kansas City for a short spell. Don't recall if there was a hallmark event that ended that bend. But I'm glad that if this was going to occur, that it began with one donut, and ended with five, all in one day. There certainly are worse things I could have been doing.

Why am I in the FB Confessional about this? Don't know. I am curious as to WHAT nagged at me to stop at that place. I'd not been in that location prior. I entered a neighboring business, completed my transaction, and bee-lined to the donut shop. Part of me wonders if the sweet-tooth side-effect was brought on by all of the 'unsweet' present today? This provides cause to re-evaluate my place in the world.

As I sat down to post, wondering what to write about, I saw follower, Kari Ann Steinle's (KAS) questions from last night, and decided to use them here?

KAS: question- as a medium/psychic- do you see or understand things for yourself?
TLB: I believe I have good intuition, and know to follow it. However, I miss 'things' all of the time, and sometimes write about that here. Example, 2 weeks ago today I was planning on going to Birmingham the next day for a needed doctor appointment. By the end of the day, yes, I was headed to Birmingham the next day, but for something entirely unrelated - surgery on an eye. I did not 'see' it coming. BahHAHAHAHAHA! (Get the pun?!)...

KAS: Do others in your arena of professionals see things for themselves as well?
TLB: I do not know of others who 'read' themselves. Some use cards, astrology, runes, etc. to look at personal situations however. I will occasionally use a pendulum, or muscle testing.

KAS: If you can read for others on what’s happening in their lives, would you not benefit for your own life?
TLB: Perhaps, but it does not work that way for me. Mediums/psychics are 'in-the-middle' between Spirit and the client. The work is about the client and Spirt, and not about the Medium/psychic. I control little in readings... I listen, and I transfer the info. to the client.

I don't know what influenced KAS to ask the questions, but I hope the responses provided some insight . . .

Eugene Siberdt ( 21 April 1851 – 6 January 1931) was a Belgian Academic, late-Romantic painter who created portraits, history paintings, genre scenes and Orientalist paintings), painted this woman of apparent Romani descent.
