Wow does Mare look like your Mom!

My grandfather worked at Hanford when my Mom was little. She has a memory of folks from the plant coming to the house with a geiger counter and then taking a single shoe of her dad's - there had been some sort of spill/leak at the plant and he clearly stepped in something not good!

Oh my gosh, what a story! I'm not sure if you remember a type of dishware called 'Fiesta Ware', but that specific pottery was made (in the past) with uranium oxide in the glaze of one of their colors (I think orange, if I recall correctly). My dad used to use a piece of the Fiesta ware for demonstrations. Needless to say, Fiestaware is no longer made with uranium lol!

This retelling of your experience and subsequent understanding of the constant flow of love we are all surrounded by was wonderful! It is the perfect encapsulation of how my parents made me feel growing up and I continue to feel their love and support daily. I absolutely know that Grandpa and Grandma are proud of you!!

I love that both things can exist for me: a Geiger counter... and things I can't explain. It seems to make life feel pretty magical. Thanks for reading, friend!

Wow yes Mare & your mom are strikingly similar in that picture. But I see you as well friend! Once again chopping onions as I read something you wrote. You express things do beautifully. I would be interested in the Happy People recording if you can share 💜

It struck me when you said there is no future. Imagine that! Also, I love this experience for you! I'm at a time in my life where I'd really like to get a reading. I have recently read two NDE stories, and a book about a Medium, and am in the middle of another one about how one became a Medium, so it's been on my mind.
