P14/48a. A Skeptic’s Journey to Mediumship

Airing December 2nd-8th on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Daniela Norris

In Collecting Feathers, Daniela I. Norris blends pitch-perfect storytelling and a keen spiritual awareness to bring us a beautiful and haunting set of tales from the beyond. A feast for the heart, mind and soul, each story is layered with unfolding intrigue, and each one will stay with you long after the pages have been turned.

DanielaNorris_June2009emailsize_400x400Author: Daniela I. Norris, a former diplomat turned political writer, lost her twenty-year-old brother in a drowning accident in May 2010. While feeling as much shock and grief as everyone else around her, she also felt something different. She felt that her brother Michael was not really gone. He was physically gone, but he was still around. That was when she embarked on a journey of learning and exploration, her very own skeptic’s journey to mediumship. Her writing then shifted from political, to spiritual and inspirational. Daniela’s book ‘On Dragonfly Wings’ just received the bronze award from Reader’s Favorite Awards for Inspiration.

Daniela has published short stories in a variety of publications and has been awarded a number of prizes including, Spilling Ink Short Story Prize, Honorable mention – Unbound Press Short Story Award as well as being short-listed for the Bridport Prize and Longlisted for the Fish Prize.

She lives with her family near Geneva, Switzerland.

‘Collecting Feathers’ transports us to a world where our mental barriers and overly constructed stories no longer reduce our existence. It opens a door to another dimension where imagination and reality collide, liberating us from our self-inflicted limitations. Daniela Norris exposes gracefully in this brief but powerful collection of short stories, how we are all connected, and how without judgement, evaluation, or labels, we are capable of accessing the greatest power of our Universe.             Sophie Parienti, Founder & Editor in Chief, Yogi Times

Despite the title, and repeated motifs of death and the other side; Collecting Feathers is actually a collection of tales more about the journey to get to the end point of crossing over, than death itself. Each of the short stories in this book is completely different from the last, and yet also curiously similar. This variation forms a powerful reflection of the book’s major theme: the vast range of human journeys through life. Sarah Gonnet,

On Dragonfly Wings – a skeptic’s journey to mediumship was awarded the 2014 bronze medal Readers Favorite Award in the Non-Fiction Inspirational category.

It is a candid and personal search for the meaning of life, of death and of grief. It aims to give hope to those who have lost a loved one and to those who are about to pass beyond – hope that this is not an end. Written for lay people, rather than experienced spiritualists or mediums, and for anyone who is curious about exploring further, it provides practical tools to help readers find their own spiritual truth and path.

14/47 Ask Sara about Our Words

Aired November 25th-December 1st on Ask Sara with Sara Troy 

stick

I don’t agree, I think words can cause more harm than those sticks and stones and at times as they stay with us forever.

Words spoken in pain, in hate, in a loss, in confusion, not only hurt but can damage one for life. Words become our belief, your perception of ourselves and we then define our selves through those words.

imageswrdSPEAK your words thoughtfully, speak with care in a tone that is inviting not damning. Use your words carefully that will lift up, embrace, and inspire others. OWN your words for once spoken they are hard to take back. 

Words written, spoken, sung, whispered, are the most powerful and empowering statements of how you feel, what you understand and what you INVITE, make sure you are inviting what you really want and that you are sharing life’s joy and possibility’s only.
