I was out and about over the weekend, and I went to The Western in Callicoon to see Alissa Smith for its Mystic Fair medium reading. I was truly blessed; five people came through: my mom, her mother and my mom’s sister, my dad and of course Tommy. My grandma and aunt told me stuff from my childhood that no one could have known. It was so comforting to hear from my mom and dad. As always, Alissa was dead on with Tommy. While I was there I met Joe McFadden from Cochecton; he was there with Janet Threshman from Nature Reserve Alpacas, doing healing.
