Yesss! What an innovative way to have the pleasure of getting through the To Be Read pile with you 😍

Seriously, you helped me see ghosts in a new light (dark?). We need to have experiences with them normalized.

I am so happy for your exciting adventure! Going off to subscribe 🌻

Another story: While photographing Chicago ghost hunter Richard Crowe, I described a neon green glow behind his head each time my eyes were not directly on him. He was excited to tell me this was his aura and the color represented good health. I wonder if our Crowes are related...

Oh wow - maybe! That is bananas! That is so cool that you can see auras 😍. Also you must tell me more about your days photographing ghost hunters.

I loved this. I had no idea that a woman was such an influence on ghost hunting. Very cool! And, as someone who adores audio books, I love your idea for read-alouds of books that don’t already have that option. Brilliant!

Thank you Jamie!! It makes me very happy and I’m excited to one day make these older books a little more accessible to those of us who can only read while washing the dishes (or playing games on our phone 😄).

Thank you so much, Kara! Work, travel and health issues keep pulling me away from the daily dive. I’m doing my best to get back on track. I miss you guys.

Thanks so much for this! Love that we can bring women out of the darkness of His Story and do away with the notion women had little to do with our past. Excellent piece. I do believe women would make better ghost communicators over all due to feeling their own emotions rather than shutting them down. I do appreciate the paranormal investigator on the current episodes of Expedition X - Heather Amaro. Thanks for another enjoyable read Lyns! ❤️

Wow! Every time I read your posts I learn something really, really cool. Thank you so much for doing this and I would love to hear you reading a chapter each week. Lol, like you I love books but suck at reading them and I listen on Audible more than read. At least there's that... Thanks again for a great read, Lyns.

Thank you my friend! I appreciate you so much! I totally get it, I’m the biggest fan of books old and new but never take the time. Hope to see you this week on WDD if I can get my act together
