Happy New Year

I hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday so far. We didn't have much time to prepare for the holidays beings I have been so busy. So I had to jam in all my shopping, wrapping, decorating and baking into a few short days. Bob and I enjoyed our holiday by hosting a family get together on Christmas Eve. My father and brother drove up from Florida to enjoy the holiday's here. Christmas day we spent enjoying dinner and opening presents at Bob's sisters. It was all together a very nice holiday.

With New Years approaching in just a few days I want to thank all of my clients and supporters. I have received hundreds of emails of support and kind words from so many of you. Thank you for allowing me to share my gift with you, for without you all I would be lost. A special thanks to Bob, his family, my family and all our friends for being a part of my life and supporting me in the work that I do.

Earlier this month we found out that our eight year old dog Newbie has Lyme's Disease. Newbie had Lyme's when he was about two years old. We almost lost him. The disease went into all his joints preventing him from being able to walk. It was horrible. We were sitting in our living room with a friend when I spotted something on Newbie. I investigated and found a large red bulls eye rash beneath all his black fur. No one could believe that I saw that spot on him. I knew right away that he was bit by a deer tick and most likely had Lyme's disease.

The next day I made an appointment for Newbie to go to the vet. He was tested positive for the disease. Fortunately I spotted the bite and got him to the vet right away. Newbie was not having and still has no symptoms that I can see, which is great. He will continue to take an antibiotic twice a day for three months. Hopefully this long treatment will work as it did the first time he had Lyme's. The first time he had it I lived in a wooded area of New Jersey where Lyme's is common. I never would have thought Lyme's disease would be found here in Levittown. When I was growing up there were never any deer around here.

Tonight I did some preparation for the New Years day radio show. I did some prayer and meditation this evening trying to focus on future events. This is something I never attempted and was amazed with the amount of information I came up with. I will read the predictions on air new years day from 3 to 5 PM, be sure to tune in. I have about three pages of predictions to go through. We will also be giving away books, Cd's and tickets to events. It should make for a very interesting radio show.

Finally I have had off for more then one day after several months of being overwhelmed. I will be off the next few days and then a few days after new years. The office here will be closed until January 2. Once I get back to work I will be setting focus on 5 missing children cases that I have been asked to work on. We have many events planned for 2008 and have many more in the works. Recently I did a reading for James Van Praagh and I'm now listed on his web site, thanks James. I hope to be working more with James in 2008. I may also be doing a future chat on his web site.

I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. May god bless you all may you conquer all of your goal in 2008. Remember to do something nice for someone else.
Blessings
Joseph

Lisa Williams & Special Messages

Today I had the honor of interviewing spiritual medium Lisa William's on my radio show. Lisa Williams has her own television show called "Life Among The Dead" on Lifetime TV. She will also will be releasing her new book "Life Among The Dead" soon. You can visit my web site to listen to the interview. We will try to have it posted within the next few days.

Lisa has a wonderful personality ans sense of humor, which is easy to see from the interview and from watching her television show. We talked abut her work as a medium along with her new book hitting stores soon. We also touched base on rumors surrounding her grandmother reading for Queen Elizabeth. Talking with Lisa was a pleasure and we hope to have her on the show again in the future. Better yet, Bob is going to work on getting Lisa William's to come out to the Philadelphia area for a show.

This past weekend I received a very nice gift from one of my clients. Very unexpectedly there was a knock on our door with a special delivery. Out comes this beautiful bouquet of of flowers in a very nice glass vase. Such a wonderful feeling it is knowing that I brought so much closure to this couple that they went out of their way to send me flowers and a thank you note.

When Bob called to thank them they shared another validation that they discovered after the reading. During the reading I kept mentioning to the couple that I was seeing a vision of very elegant silverware. They had no idea what the message meant and had no connections to silverware. The vision was strong and I described that the silverware was in a nice case of wood box. Again they had no idea what I was talking about. Later that evening they discovered the the woman's sister was out shopping for a new silverware set at the exact time they were getting a reading with me. This was her loved ones way of acknowledging her sister and seeing that the messages get to her.

If there is a message spirit wants to get through, their going to do it in the best way the feel fit. Another thing I remember from their reading was a message that came through from the gentle man's deceased brother. He mentioned the big concert in 1969, Woodstock. They both shared that special time by going to the concert together. Then his brother went on to with a sense of humor to mention Jimmy Hendrix and in turn showed me a vision of a Hendrix LP album. He laughed and told me that him and his brother waited in line for the release of a Jimmy Hendrix album. Then they returned home to play the album as load as possible on their record player. This couple's family was no doubt trying their best to give them as much validation as possible.

Sunday while getting ready for a private gallery in New Jersey, I had a little visitor. In the bathroom brushing my teeth I feel a little tug on my right side. I slowly look over and their I see a little boy around the age of 10. I tried my best to pretend as if I did not see him, although I did. Another tug on my side and I looked over seeing the boy in his little jeans and red t-shirt. He says to me "Hey Mister, can you really see me?" I smiled and quietly said to him "Yes, we can talk a little later." and he replied "Wow, that's cool", and disappeared. Then I saw a vision of the toy's are us giraffe Jeffry. Having no idea what this meant I knew I was in for a heck of a day.

There was so much information that came through during the first half of this private gallery. As you know I forget much of the information that comes through. Bad for me but I guess good for my regular clients. I mentioned to the group what I saw while getting ready earlier that day hoping it may be messages for them. I asked them not to tell me anything and hopefully something will come through in more detail about my earlier experience. No mention of a giraffe or a little boy came through during the first hour of the session. If the little boy had anything to do with the group I was sure he would come through eventually. If it were a close connection the boy may wait until closer to the end of the gallery because of emotions.

Well it was about 15 minutes into the second half of the session and boom, in comes the boy. Clear as can be I see the boy in front of me, he tells me he is Anthony. The group instantly became very emotional, they all knew Anthony. I don;t remember if he told me his age or not, I would guess between 8 and 10 years old. He went right into the details of his passing insisting that no one was to blame but himself. "I was not paying attention, I did not look back and forth like Mommy and daddy told me. I ran right out into the road." I received a description of a bike or scooter of some sort and without the boy telling me I knew he was hit by a car. Then he said he was hit from the side but did not feel any pain.

This connection with the boy lasted to the end of the session. Many of emotions came to surface along with much awaited closure and healing. Anthony was so amazing to communicate with for he was so detailed with information. He even made mention of a big stone memorial that was cast for him. The details came to me so fast that I could not possibly remember it all. I asked the girls in the group to send us some feedback about the session. This was one session that was well needed and I'm glad I had the opportunity to bring healing to this group. I'm always asking folks to send us feedback about their readings and not many do. Were always looking for feedback and you can submit it through my web site. We will post the feedback from Sunday's session as soon as we receive it.

Crime Scenes, Murder Investigations & Radio Controversy

Many of you who are from the area have heard about the girl that was missing earlier in the week. I only caught a clip of this on the local news and instantly received bad feelings about the missing girl. I knew she was no longer alive and saw a vision of her deceased body in the back of her own vehicle. I saw this vehicle parked in a parking spot in a small parking lot. When I get these feelings, I try my best to block them out. This prompted me to write an email to local law enforcement. I wrote them explaining who I am, what I do and my background. In turn offering them any assistance with the case or any other cases they need help with. I never heard back from them.

The girl was found yesterday in her vehicle which was parked in a small parking lot. Today I received a call from someone asking me if I would go to the scene of the crime to see what I could pick up. The radio station where I do my weekly show received dozens of emails and phone calls today in regards to the girls death. Then the idea came up of having me go to the scene of the crime to bring more validation to what had happened. The police said it was suicide and callers believed differently. The radio station decided that it could be interesting to broadcast my experience at the scene live. At the last minute they backed out.

Most people that called into the station were supportive of the idea and my work as a medium. Then there were those few that thought it was not a great idea. With all that going on there were two real jerks that called in to bash my work and call me a phony. Hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. At the same time some of the things they said were very mean. The woman who works the afternoon show supported the jerks by saying "I don't believe anyone can communicate with the dead. When you dead, you dead. So you can't communicate with them." Said for you lady, sorry you feel that way.

Another guy that called into the station today said that one of the extremely accurate messages I gave a woman during my show was something I heard from a friend of a friend of hers. That just makes me laugh. Yeah buddy, she called into the station with only her first name and I told her something that a friend of hers told me about her. Get for real now. It is alright to be skeptical, but that's going a little too far. Then comes the guy who called in and said this is a sad excuse for a publicity stunt. Just another person that knows absolutely nothing about me or my work. Honestly, do you think I need to pull a publicity stunt? I did not arrange any of this, I was asked to do it and simply showed up.

When I arrived to the crime scene, I was greeted by a few people including a news reporter from the Courier Times. Instantly I went right to the place the woman's vehicle was found parked. I asked the reporter if it was where the car was parked and he confirmed. I closed my eyes a moment and everything started to come through. I gave so many details all the way up to her passing away in the back seat of the vehicle.

I had no prior knowledge other then the girl was missing and found in her vehicle deceased. I was not even aware that she was found in the back of the vehicle. I mentioned that this is where I saw her pass and once again the
reporter confirmed that I was correct. I do not believe this was a murder, nor do I think this was a suicide. Even though I felt extreme depression with the young lady along with very bad nervous problem, I feel she did not park there to take her own life. Someone is indirectly responsible for this death in some way.

After visiting the scene I received a call from another reporter, this time from the Trentonian newspaper. He interviewed me and asked me what I felt happened to this young lady. After giving him the details of how she had passed he said to me "I have been working on this story for a week and just spoke with the coroner and I have to say, you're the real deal. God bless you." There were things I told him that I would only know if I also has spoke to the coroner. This is a very sad case and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the young lady.

It's very likely that the local papers may not even run this story in the paper, which I'm completely fine with. I was not aware that the paper was going to be at the scene when I arrived, nor was I aware they were informed that I was going to visit the scene. If they do print this story I would hope it would encourage law enforcement to work with me when they need help with a crime or missing persons case. I will talk more about what I felt at the scene on Tuesday's radio show, after my interview with Lisa Williams.

Yesterday I worked directly with a detective on another case, this being a murder of a young lady. The case is pretty old and the detective wanted to see if I could get any information at all about the murder and who did it. When he first contacted me all I wanted was a picture of the victim, no names and no details. Basically I went into this knowing nothing except what the young girl looked like. He called me on the telephone and within a few minutes I was able to connect with the murder. This was one of those things that just blows my mind, and I'm sure it blew his mind too.

Another thing that I was not aware of is that the detective knows a lot more about the case and who did it then I thought. The cool thing about this is that he was able to confirm all the details that I gave him about the case. I told him exactly what happened, some in which he knew and some he suspected. I'm not going to go into too many details on this case beings it is still open. I will say that I told there was more then one person guilty and one of them had killed themselves. He knew exactly what I was talking about and confirmed that one suspect did shoot himself. It will not be long before the hall the other suspect into jail.

The reason I do this for law enforcement is because it really is a great help to them. I was born with a very special gift. This gift is to help others in any way that I can. This is why I like to hold fund raiser events. Even though my work is very healing to people on a personal level, I like to help in any way I can. To that guy that called into the station today to bash me and my work. When was the last time you did something for someone you don't know? When was the last time you gave to someone in need? You should not judge a person or what they do until you get to know them personally. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and read my messages. I'm very grateful to god for this gift he has given me and to you for allowing me to share it with you. God bless you all.

What's Going On?

Lifetime's hit series "America's Psychic Challenge" has finally ended. I knew the the very first day I met Michelle Whitedove that she would win. This has been mentioned before in a previous blog and on my new radio show. Congratulation's Michelle. I went on America's Psychic Challenge for the experience and did not even know there was a $100,000 prize. None of the contestants were informed of the actual prize until we were about to go on our first challenge.

I have received hundreds of emails since the first airing of the show. Everyone has been wonderful in supporting me and cheering me on, thank you everyone. I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to be a part of the show and have no regrets. It has been a wonderful experience and has opened many doors in my life.

You may be aware that I have been contacted by several law enforcement agencies to help with crime investigations. Things have been very busy and this Wednesday I will focus on helping a law enforcement detective with solving a murder case. He has sent me a picture of the victim and I will do some prayer and meditation before calling him and giving him as much information as possible to help him catch the killer.

Working with crime investigations and finding missing children has been something I have wanted to do most of my life. At the age of 17 I joined a cadet program at my local police department to train to be a police officer. The reason I joined the program was mainly because I wanted to become a homicide detective, not a police officer. After I discovered you had to be a police officer for a long time before working in homicide, I decided to it was not for me. I had no desire to be a police officer, just a detective.

There were dozens of other emails and calls that Bob received asking if I could help them with a murder or missing persons case. One case was of a missing child by the name of Logan Tucker. You can click on his name for more information about this case. Another was concerning the Peterson case that is all over the news. I'm still waiting to hear back from law enforcement officials on the cases. I offer my help free of charge to any law enforcement agencies who contact me.

Bob has received several calls from those wishing to speak to me about crimes and missing persons. Because I have so many things going on I can not personally take these calls. I will only take calls from law enforcement officials regarding any criminal or missing person cases. I have done so many personal readings for people who have had loved ones who were murdered come through in the reading. They received so many details about the murder, where, when,how and even who. They take it to the police and they blow it off because of where the information came from, a psychic.

Many times the police will not listen to information that comes from a psychic. A large amount of law enforcement agencies would never consider working with a psychic and taking information from a psychic seriously. Others do work with psychics and take their information very seriously. When I contacted the Philadelphia police about the shooting of officer Cassidy the detective took me very seriously and wrote down everything. Within days they caught the killer. Beings that not all law enforcement will accept information from me, I will only work with them directly if they contact me. So if you have tried to contact me in reference to a case, or if you want to contact me, please do this by having the detectives contact us if they are interested.

Tomorrow will be the second week of the new radio show. Last weeks show went very well with some really good messages for callers. Tomorrow I will try my best to get to more calls then we did last week. Once I get into my mode with prayer and meditation, I lose track of time. I get very into my connections with the deceased and its hard to just cut them off for the next caller. I try to tell callers to focus their questions more on their life. More questions about health, career, relationships and so forth. I can get to so many more people that way. It takes a lot of energy to connect to the deceased along with a good bit of time. Last week I made connections with the deceased for just about every caller therefore not giving others an opportunity to get through. The phone lines were jammed and it makes me feel bad that we can not get to everyone.

Next week I will be interviewing Lisa Williams, looking forward to it. Then in January I will be interviewing Michelle Whitedove. I'm planning a special show for New Years Day. We will have a two hour radio show to bring in the new year. I'm going to work on something I have never done before. I will be doing some special meditation over the next few weeks to focus on world predictions for the new year. I will announce these predictions during the special New Years Day radio Show. There have been so many world predictions that came to me over the past years. These include 911 and the largest blackout in history. These are things that just came to me, not something I was trying to focus on. So it should be interesting to see what happens when I sit and set my focus on this.

Thanksgiving & Childhood Cancer

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving this year. It is a very special time to spend with your family and loved ones, so I hope you had the opportunity to do so. Bob and I began our day early by going to Bob's grandmothers. The whole family attend Thanksgiving dinner at grand mom's. We had an early dinner followed by a delicious desert of Apple, pumpkin and sweet potato pies and some home made pumpkin cheesecake. Then Bob and I headed out early to go visit Rhiannon at Saint Christopher's Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Rhiannon is my thirteen year old niece, the daughter of my only sister. Last year during my daily meditation my grandmother came to me. I was surprised for it has been so long since I have connected with my grandmother. My grandmother told me she was concerned for my sister and I needed to be there for her. Having no idea what she meant I asked her what the concern was all about. All I heard was the word cancer and then my grand mother disappeared.

All my grandmother did was confuse and worry me. I'm not as close to my sister as I was back in the day, so I was lost on what I should do. I began calling her more frequently to bond with her a little more. I really was not sure how to mention my grandmother's visit to her, so I didn't. I waited a while and then it was too late. In June of 2006 twelve year old Rhiannon became sick. Soon after she was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common of the soft tissue sarcomas in children. These tumours develop from muscle or fibrous tissue and can grow in any part of the body. The most common areas of the body to be affected are around the head and neck, the bladder, or the testes. Sometimes tumours are also found in a muscle or a limb, in the chest, or in the abdominal wall.

The causes of rhabdomyosarcoma are unknown. Research is going on all the time into possible causes of this disease. Children with certain rare genetic disorders, such as Li Fraumeni syndrome, have a higher risk of developing rhabdomyosarcoma.

Treatment depends upon the size of the tumour, its position within the body, and whether it has spread. Treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma usually includes surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or a combination of these.

Surgery

If at all possible, surgery will be used to remove the tumour. Chemotherapy, using a combination of drugs, is often given before surgery to shrink the tumour. Radiotherapy may also be given to the area of the tumour, particularly if it cannot be completely removed by surgery.

Chemotherapy

If the tumour cannot be removed with surgery, treatment will usually involve a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells and is usually given every three weeks.

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy treats cancer by using high-energy rays that destroy the cancer cells, while doing as little harm as possible to normal cells. It is given to the area where the rhabdomyosarcoma occurs.

Rhiannon was treated with all of the above methods with the exception of surgery. The tumor dissolved and the cancer was undetectable. After six months of extreme cancer treatments Rhiannon was sent home with a clean bill of health. The first tumor was located in her upper leg and caused severe pain and affected her walking. Recently Rhiannon became sick once again and is now back in the hospital. Another tumor was found, this time between her kidneys and a main artery. She is undergoing more chemo. and can not receive any more radiation during this round.

Rhiannon is very high spirited and remains very strong. We visited her on Thanksgiving and she seemed to be her normal self, which is good. She enjoyed her Thanksgiving dinner and ever came back for seconds. Bob and I hung out with Rhiannon and my sister for a few hours taking pictures and trying to bring some cheer to the room. It was odd that some of the pictures of Rhiannon and I would not turn out without weird bright lights surrounding us. Coincidence? Bad Lighting? Or Angels watching over Rhiannon and all the children within the hospital.

Thanksgiving dinner was prepared by a family who lost their 8 year old son last year from cancer. The woman recognized me soon as we walked into the hospital from America' Psychic Challenge. She became overwhelmed with excitement when she saw me come through the doors telling everyone in listening distance who I was.
Her and her husband worked hard in the kitchen cooking Thanksgiving dinner for all the kids in the hospital.

I was touched by her ability to move forward so quickly after loosing her eight yea
r old son Frankie to cancer only eight months ago. She said she spent so much time in the hospital with Frankie that her and her husband felt they needed to give back. They have set out to help other children suffering from cancer and their families. What a wonderful thing to do for others. I wanted to pull them aside to give them a reading but it did not feel appropriate to me.

Beings it was a holiday and we were in a hospital I decided it was not the time or place. I'm sure I will have that opportunity in the near future.
There are so many children out there suffering from cancer that could use some support. With the holiday's approaching it make for a perfect time to help out others in need. I know we are going to be bringing some toys to the kids in St. Christopher's this holiday season.

Please visit the web sites below to read about or to support Rhiannon and Frankie's family. Ever a simply email can make a child or family smile. With Love And Light.....JOSEPH

Detectives and finding the missing

It has been a little while since I had a chance to write in the blog. I'm short in time this evening, but wanted to write a little something. I have had an interesting week to say the least. Today I had a young lady come for a private session who seemed a bit distraught. She could not find her cell phone and it was a must have thing for work. I mentioned to look in the car, she replied that she had looked there already. Maybe that was what I was picking up on. Then I told her if it was not there then she would find it at home on the kitchen table. About 30 minutes later she called and told Bob that the phone was on the table.

Even though I was able to tell a client exactly where to find her phone, it was about to be quite different for the next client. This gentlemen came to me specifically to help him find something a little more important then just a phone. He was here to get a little in sight on where he should look for his missing son. As you can imagine, this was quite nerve racking for me. I'm not one to enjoy being the bearer of bad news. I had no idea what to expect until I went into the reading. I'm happy to say that I had some good news for the worried father. I did feel that his son is still alive, but in a bit of a jam.

Many of the things that I told the gentlemen he was aware of, some things he felt, and others would help him locate his son. Information that I gave the gentlemen included that his son was set up, his wallet stolen, he was most likely in jail and was trying to contact his father, but could not. His son is in Mexico, where he was set up and thrown in a local jail. There are no more details that I would like to disclose. I was very happy to be able to help this gentlemen locate his son and extremely happy that I felt his son would eventually be located and come back to the states.

After the murder scene on America's Psychic Challenge I knew that I would end up working on many murder cases and missing people cases. You may have read about the messages I gave to Philadelphia police detective about the case of the murder police officer. I was almost sure that the police would at least contact me to let me know the information helped them. Maybe because I'm psychic they think I already know. :-) I hope they contact me i the future to help them with cases.

Today I was actually contacted by a police detective who has been working on a homicide case. He saw the TV show and was very impressed with the information I provided. The detective is a bit far from me, but I offered my to help out. He did ask what my fee would be for help with the case. When it comes to something like this I'm honored that he even asked for my assistance. In that case I'm more then happy to offer that assistance and would not consider charging any fee. If it comes to do anything for the police or fire department, I'm here for you.

I'm very excited about the new radio show starting November 27th. It will be fun to take calls and do short readings over the air. I decided to take the show to another level and not just focus on my work. I thought it would make the show more interesting if I brought others onto the show for interviews about their work. So at least once per month I will focus on interviewing other well known psychics and mediums. Lisa William's will be my first guest on December 11. Be sure to tune in.

Validating Information

Finally the Mercury Retrograde has come to a close and things will begin to run smoothly. Mercury went out with a big bang, as it always does. The retrograde ended on November 1st, but you could feel the effect until the 4Th. Now is a good time to start new things, a new business, new job or even purchase a new home. It is also a good time to start your holiday shopping and get a check up from the doctor.

Most of you have heard about the tragic murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Chuck Cassidy. If you keep up with the blog you know that I contacted the police about this case. I have never contacted the police about a case before. I feel that if they want my assistance, they can contact me. For some reason I could not sleep all night because of this case. So much information was coming to me that I felt I needed to do something about it, so I did.

I did post some of the information that I gave them and kept a few other things confidential. Well after seeing the news last night I was completely stunned to find out the murderers name, John. John was one of the two names that I gave the detective while talking on the phone. Another thing I told the detective was that he was mixing in with the homeless. I told her they needed to look in places where the homeless gather. I was also getting a subway being significant in some way or another. There was a list of information that I provided to the police detective. She was very open to receiving my information and thanked me for my help. It so surreal to me that the Murderers name is John and they now caught him in a homeless shelter. I certainly hope the information I gave the police actually helped them to catch this horrible person. Now I hope the police will contact me again in the future to help them out.

This past weekend I had several group sessions. There was one particular connection that I found to be really interesting. My energy was directed on one woman in the group. While I was bringing through messages from her father in law, the connection took a strange turn. A young mother figure who passed from multiple complications began to connect. At first there was not one person in the group that understood this connection, including the woman I was focused on. The I mentioned to her that I was seeing adoption papers. This immediately brought out some emotions in the woman. She knew exactly what I was talking about.

My connection with the young woman became stronger as she described in detail what she was going through prior to her passing. She suffered from severe addiction, living on the streets and doing what she had to in order for survival. She became pregnant and wanted the best for her baby. The baby meant so much to her that she claimed to have remained clean of drugs during the pregnancy. The child was born and she slipped into a deep depression and went back to using. Then she gave the child up for adoption and later passed from an over dose of drugs.

She was coming through for one of the women in the group. She wanted to thank her for taking care of her child. Even though the woman in the group had no idea who the mother of the child is, the mother knew who she was. The woman is in the process of finalizing the adoption and this confirmed that it would happen soon. This also shows how connected we all are. Even if your adopted, your birth mother is always with you.

I just sent out an email about my upcoming event at Ashes To Ashes Cigar Shop in Bordentown New Jersey. This is a great little place that holds up to 30 guests. You can read more about the event on the web site. I'm excited to start the new radio show in a few weeks. I included information about the radio show on the web site and in today's email. If you did not get the email and would like to be included on the mailing list, send an email to: mailing@spiritmanjoseph.com.

Don't forget to watch America's Psychic Challenge on Friday November 16 at 10 PM on Lifetime. If you missed the last episodes and have Comcast Cable, you can on demand the show. You can also watch it in this blog and Lifetime Televisions web site. Till the next time, Love And Light....JOSEPH

Radio Interviews

Yesterday I was interviewed by Rob McConnell from the X-Zone Radio Show. The Show airs or more then 25 countries throughout the world. I mixed up the times and was sitting here expecting their call at 7 Pm. Here the interview was to take place at 1Am East cost time. This was a little difficult for me beings I'm usually in bed before 12 every night. The interview lasted till 2Am and then I went right to bed. The interview was fun and Rob even took a few calls. One caller was from Canada and another from the Philippines. I hope to do another interview with Rob in the future, just a little earlier next time.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4Pm I will be interviewed by Paul Baroli during his show Coffee With Kahuna. The show airs daily from 2Pm to 5Pm on WBCB 1490AM radio. WBCB covers Buck's, Mercer and Burlington Counties. Be sure to tune in to the show tomorrow. I will try to get a copy of last nights interview and tomorrows interview to post on the web site.

James Van Praagh


James Van Praagh is by far one of the top mediums in the world. He is the author of the best selling book "Talking To Heaven" along with several other books and meditation Cd's. James also hosted his own well known show "Beyond With James Van Praagh". James is also one of the producers for one of my favorite television shows "Ghost Whisperer".

A few weeks ago I mentioned to a few friends that I really wanted to go see James Van Praagh in New York. James will be holding an event at the Omega Institute in upstate New York this coming weekend. I have so many things going on this weekend with the Breast Cancer event and other thing, so there is no way I could go. It was very odd that the very next I received an email message from James. It was not long after that I received a phone call from James.

It was quite an honor to receive a call from James. He complimented my work and also mentioned that I needed to stop smoking. That was actually one of the first things he said to me. So I will certainly focus on quiting sometime soon for sure. I hope to talk to James again in the near future. If your not familiar with James, you should visit his web site. If you are familiar with James, you should still visit his web site. http://www.vanpraagh.com/index.cfm

Z 100 Radio Interview

Yesterday I had an interview with the New York hit radio station Z100. I prepared myself prior to the interview with a prayer and meditation. I had no doubt that I needed to be prepared to face some ridicule and skepticism. A problem that psychics often have to face. I do understand that there are some psychics in this world that just like to make other believe they are psychic when in actuality they are not at all psychic. Lets face it folks, there are some very gifted psychics in this world.

I called into the station and was immediately connected to the stations morning crew, anxiously waiting to drill me. I knew ahead of time that this could be a problem and instantly knew when they began playing spooky music in the background. "I love the music guys" was amongst my first words. Right away I was asked to give them something to make them believe I was a for real psychic. If your open minded then I will have no problem showing you that I'm for real. If you a close minded person, then I could have a problem. One of the guys in the studio really was difficult with his comments and skepticism.

There were several energies trying to connect with me to bring through messages. As soon as I mentioned that I had a father type figure coming through the major skeptic in the room immediately interrupted. He didn't even want to give me a chance to finish without having to say something negative. He insisted that the few things he allowed me to say could pertain to anyone. There was a woman from the station that keep interrupting the skeptic telling him to give me a chance.

The interview went on and I finally was able to bring several messages across. At one point the woman became completely freaked out by the accurate information that I was giving her. There were four people in the radio station studio and they asked me what I felt about each of them. This is were they became really amazed by my accuracy. One of the guys was so freaked out that he kept insisting that the other guys set him up. He really thought that they called and told me things to say to him to mess with him a bit. I had to insist that they did not talk to me prior to the call, which they did not. I let him know that I take my work seriously and would never allow someone to use me in that way.

By the end of the interview they were all one hundred percent convinced that I have a gift. Even the guy that seemed to harass because of his skepticism was convinced by the end of the interview. Even though I felt like I was on the air live, the show was recorded for a future air date. You will also be able to access the interview through the stations archives on their web site. I will keep everyone update as to when the interview will air live. You can also listen to the show live by going on their web site. I was told that it may air on Halloween, but again I have not yet received any confirmation.

Mercury In Retrograde


Well folks, the planet Mercury is about to go into retrograde on October 11Th. Unfortunately this will last until November 1 and the effects of the retrograde will most likely hang with us until about the 3rd of November. I found a little article explaining the retrograde on the net today. This will give you a little more understanding of the effects the retrograde can have. You can also check out astrology weekly dot com for other planetary information.

Mercury retrograde

June 16 - July 10, 2007

Here we go again... Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from June 16 to July 10, 2007. Next, from October 11 to November 1, 2007. And then from January 28 to February 18, 2008.

This is an important period, and we should be aware of the effects associated with this astrological influence. Since it is so often, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it.

Astronomical background

There is no real backwards movement of Mercury; it's just that we see it this way from Earth, because of the combined movement of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun. However, astrologically this is very relevant.

General influence of Mercury retrograde

Mercury rules over the mind's processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well.

The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps the meditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, but it affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, the attention oriented outwards.

Businesses, travels and communications tend to experience delays and different problems. Computers and other processes that work with information may experience crashes, unexpected failures.

Don't enroll to courses, don't buy expensive Mercurian items (books, cars, mobile phones etc.), don't sign important contracts and do not marry.

What is this Mercury retrograde period good for?

It is definitely a very good period for some actions. No time is completely bad for anything, there is a reason in everything happens.

The key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the keywords "re-doing something", "double-checking", "finish the old projects" and there you are, you've found the good side of Mercury retrograde.

For instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, meet and discuss with old friends you haven't met for a long time, travel to places you've already been to before.

This is an excellent time to work on old projects that never got to be finished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.

Next, you might wish to prevent any bad things to happen to you: so double-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm that everything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline and leave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often.

The other solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn't performed right the first time.

Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about the influence of this period, but the others aren't aware of it or there may be uncontrollable events. That's why you should have more diligence with the others and give them some more time. It'll be your mental health that you'll be sparing actually.

America's Psychic Challenge

I know it has been a while since I had a chance to blog, sorry blog addicts. Things have been a little hectic for me going into my favorite season of all, Fall. October always seems to be my most busiest time of the year. I'm already completely booked solid for the month. I have been also trying to prepare for our big Breast Cancer Awareness event on October 28. For those of you who do not already know, October is breast cancer awareness month.

Yesterday I discovered a web page on Lifetime televisions web site for the new up-coming show that I participated in. I'm looking very forward to the premier of "America's Psychic Challenge". I called Lifetime yesterday to get permission to announce the new show and my appearance on the show.

America's Psychic Challenge begins October 12 at 10 PM on the Lifetime network. In case you miss the first episode, be sure not to miss the October 26 episode. I'm looking very forward to the entire series. The show has a great concept and I know it will go over really well. So Don't Miss It!

The Travel channel just announced the dates on their web site for the new show Mysterious Journey's. As you may recall Bob and I had spent the night inside the most haunted prison in the world, the Eastern State Pen. The experience was filmed by the travel channel for an episode of their new show Mysterious Journey's. I'm looking very forward to seeing this one. I can't wait to see what they actually show out of all the experiences we have had there. The show will air several times. For a list of dates and times you may click on the following link: http://travel.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=26.13789.121278.33573.x&start=10

Now on to a new subject, experiences with past readings. A week or two ago I had a very nice woman come for a session. Immediately her husband came through loud and clear. She did not at all seem surprised by her husbands strong connection. So many validating things were coming through for her. Then her husband began showing me swarms of bee's. I hesitated a moment to try and figure out why he would be showing me so many bee's. Nothing else came to me but more and more bee's. I turned to my client and said "you're husband is showing me swarms of bee's. Do you have any idea why he would show me this?" She smiled with a tear of joy and validation and then responded "I knew he would bring up those dam bee's! He was a bee keeper and loved his bee's. He brought home fresh honey and bee's wax all the time. He was very proud of his bee's". An amazing message for my client from her husband to bring the validation and closure she needed in her life.

A few weeks ago I was at someones home for a private home gallery. A fun group of woman that were about to get a huge validation from the other side. I'm not sure of all the details, I just strongly remember the vision I was seeing. A very Strong energy came to me and I was receiving the date September 11Th. I paused a moment before bringing this message out to the open. I wanted a little more then just a date. Then the strong image of the twin towers on fire took over my head. Then I told the girls I was seeing the 911 incident in New York. I was also seeing a firefighter and worst of all I was seeing people jumping from the building. I was felling that there were several connections to this date and incident. Immediately two woman in the gallery raised their hands. One woman lost someone close to her in 911, while the other woman's husband is a firefighter that helped out with the disaster.

This was not the first time that I had connected with someone who passed during the 911 attach on the twin towers. What was so amazing to me is that the one woman's husband that passed during 911 was coming through thanking the other woman's husband for helping out during the disaster. There was also another firefighter coming through during this session who was also killed during 911. He was a friend of the firefighter that survived. Such intense and validating messages bringing closure and healing into their lives.

Ashes To Ashes Event


Every other month we hold an open gallery at the Ashes To Ashes Cigar Shop in Bordentown New Jersey. Joe and Stacy Salera own the little shop in the historic town. They are wonderful people and even put snacks out for guests and offer coffee and water. There is no lingering smell of cigars and the shop has a very comfortable setting. These galleries are more intimate with a maximum of 30 guests and everyone gets to ask a question. I love doing events at the shop because I get the opportunity to share more of my experiences in such a nice atmosphere.
Yesterday's event at Ashes To Ashes Cigar shop went very well as they usually do. The connections that I made with deceased loved ones was extremely strong bringing amazing validations and closure. My first connection with with a young lady's father who had passed. She was not at all expecting her father to come through at all most likely because of some skepticism. She sat with a gentlemen that I found out later was her boyfriend and a New Jersey State Police Officer. He approached me once during the break and again at the end to thank me for bringing the messages to his girlfriend. He also mentioned that he did not at all believe that my work was for real until he experienced for himself.

There were so many connections that I made with
the deceased during this event. Unfortunately
I never really remember many of the details that I give people. Only things I usually remember are things that blow my mind. Like details of a murder, or when I see the actual accident that a person was killed in. Another person I went to with messages during the event would walk out a complete believer. She told us that she walked in a complete skeptic and non-believer until her grandfather came through. I believe his name may have been Frank and he mentioned breast cancer survivor and the young lady instantly went into tears. He also began showing me that he was shot. He kept saying in the back, near his shoulder and into his lung. The young lady became very emotional and then a few funny things came up from her grandfather to get her to laugh. He also mentioned that he did not see this coming and I felt that he was murdered.

The breast cancer connection was her mother who survived breast cancer just recently. The grandfather coming through in the reading was her mothers father Frank. There were so many other things that came through to bring the young lady validation and closure, I just do not recall the details once again. She told us that her grandfather was shot in the back by her grandmother who is now in jail for murder. She was the most emotional one out of the group, although all of the people I went to with messages showed their emotion. In my position as the medium it is heartwarming when I see my messages bringing emotion to a client. This shows me that my connection was strong and brought well needed healing to my client.

After the break I began to connect with a gentlemen who claimed he was the husband of one of the guests. I was immediately pulled to a woman on my right and received the name Jack. I knew Jack was a gentlemen in the physical world and would be the type of person to let you in front of him in line at the supermarket. Many times I will not connect to the gentlemen type because they end up letting everyone go through ahead of them. Jack wanted to let his wife know he was at peace and happy, but he also wanted to prove how much of a wonderful man he was. Jack was about to bring through both a young man and young lady for the two people sitting next to his wife.

Sometimes when I connect with a stronger energy that is able to bring through messages to me very clearly, they bring messages through for others. Jack felt it was important to bring through these two younger energies for someone he had no connection with. I began getting another name, I think it may have been Michael. Then a young man maybe in his twenties began mentioning a son and a brother. Well his sister and mother were sitting right next to me. That easily explains that he was both a brother and a son. I was feeling that he was killed in an automobile accident. He gave me visions of the accident and insisted that it was an accident and was not at all related to drugs or alcohol.

I had to describe to the mother exactly what had happened to her son in this accident. He said that an animal ran out in front of him but he was not trying to avoid hitting the animal. He insisted that he would just hit the animal and not risk an accident. He was looking down for a second and when he looked up the animal was in front of him. The animal actually scared him and caused him to jerk the wheel and lose control.

Then I began getting a skunk and was thinking that it was maybe a skunk that ran out in front of the vehicle. No. Now I'm getting a sense of humor, this is something funny about a skunk. OK, now I'm back to Jack. He is bringing up the incident with the skunk. His wife hesitated and then I gave her more information. The skunk sprayed one of the pets. She laughed and confirmed the skunk incident.

Jack just wanted to let you know he is still here with us. Then I go back to the young man and he mentions his sister and also a younger female present with him on the other side. His mother and sister that I was giving messages to confirmed that he had a sister that had passed also. Then I began getting pigs, now I feel like I'm at the zoo. LOL. It took a few minutes of me seeing pigs in all forms including stuffed pigs and Miss Piggy for the two to acknowledge the message. "Yes" the young lady responded. "My brothers girlfriend collected pigs." He is also telling me that there was a pig placed in the casket at the funeral. She became overwhelmed with emotion and confirmed that his girlfriend did place a pig in the casket.

Another message I lept seeing during this session had to do with autum leaves. I kept seeing these leaves and had no idea what it had meant and neither of the girls knew. I said that maybe it would be a sign from your brother. Sometimes things are mentioned in a session as what I call a re-validation. This is something that will usually happen or something you will come across within a few days of your session. This is your loved ones way of reminding you about your connection with them and making sure you know it was for real.

Well today I received an email from the young lady. She wanted to thank me for bringing so much healing into her life and to let me know that she figured out why her brother mentioned the leaves. When she went to work this morning and turned on her computer, there were the leaves on the desktop backround of her computer. Her brother certainly got his messages across.

Today's Radio Interview

I just finished being interview by Kala from "Explore Your Spirit". Kala is a psychic herself and runs the hit radio station that is heard world wide through the Internet. Explore Your Spirit has a large variety of special shows, all focused on the spirit and metaphysical realms. The stations hosts dozens of speakers, researchers, teachers, authors and so many more. Definitely a privilege to be asked to be on the show.

Kala and I talked about a wide variety of things. We talked about my first experiences as a child and some of the experiences I have had as a medium. Then we went into a discussion about my new book and the up-coming show "Mysterious Journey's" on the Travel Channel October 26 at 9pm. The entire interview process lasted for a little more then 30 minutes. The interview was recorded and will air sometime in the near future. You will be able to listen to the show live and I will most likely post the interview on my web site some time soon after it airs.

Yesterday I was amazed to find that my we site received an amazing amount of hits. I also noticed that most of these web site hits were coming from the article posted on the Philly Burbs website. This is the same article that appeared in the Buck's County Courier Times and Intellegencer. Yesterday I received more then double the amount of hits then the day the article actually came out last week. I could not figure this out. This was the most web site hits that I had ever received. So i searched around and could only come up with one thing. I found the article on the front page of the world news web site yesterday. I'm guessing that had to be the reason for all the hits.

This past weekend I went back to work after several weeks filming out in LA. It was the first time I sat with a client on close to a month. Even after doing this work for so many years you still get a little nervous before. Everything went very well with all the sessions the past few days. Now I'm just a little wiped out. Today was suppose to be my day off and I spent that doing work at my computer until about 4pm. I know some of you were anxious for me to blog so I wanted to write something before relaxing for the rest of the evening. God Bless.

Front Page News


I'm finally back from LA after the most physical and emotionally exhausting time of my life. I honestly had a great time out west filming a new TV series. I really can not believe what really goes into making a TV show. It's a painstakingly long process, especially when it's 115 degree's out. Everything in the life of TV is a little hush hush. Therefore I can not tell you anything other then keep you Friday night TV schedule open.

On Monday August 27 the Buck's County Courier Times ran a wonderful article about my visit to the Eastern State Prison in Philadelphia. I could not believe that the article was placed right on the front page of the paper. I'm so honored that the Courier Times would place me on the front Page. Thank you Courier and thank you Theresa for writing such a wonderful article.

You may visit my web site and click on Press to read the article. You may also read the article on the Courier Times Web Site and dozen of other web sites including MSNBC. Beings the article appeared on the front page, it was picked up by dozens of on line news sites. The article also talked about the filming of the Travel Channels "Mysterious Journey's" at the Eastern State. I'm looking forward to seeing the show. I believe it will first air on Friday October 26 at 9PM on the Travel Channel.

I thought it was rather funny to read a comment to the editor in the Courier Times a few days after the article appeared. Some guy wrote into the paper rather upset that I was featured on the front page. Seriously buddy, don;t you have something better to do in your life. He mentioned that big stories like the floods were not on the front page. You know we all read about terrible things on the front page of newspapers every day. I think its great that the Courier decided to put something more interesting to locals then world tragic events that happen every day.

I had a crazy and scary experience the other day driving down the Roosevelt Boulevard. We were on our way to Bob's soccer game heading toward Kelly Drive. Before we left the house I kept procrastinating and ended up running back in the house because I forgot something. That 1 minute may have saved our lives. Before getting onto the Roosevelt Blvd. I had a weird feeling of an accident. I usually always keep those feelings to myself as I did this time. I asked my spirit if I would be OK to confirm my feelings. I was told to stay at the speed limit and to stop at yellow lights, so that's just what I did.

At one point Bob was looking down and then looked up and panicked. What wrong I asked and he replied "I just saw you hitting that truck in front of us." Needless to say I was not even close to the truck at that time. So this is Bob getting a psychic feeling also. Then we come to a yellow light and I stop and wait for the green. As we start moving along out of nowhere a car jump up off the curb in the opposite direction. The car goes out of control and hits a tree and spin out of control into our lane about 200 feet from our car.

If it would have been 30 seconds to a minute longer we would have been hit and seriously injured. The car hit the tree so hard that everything in the back seat flew out from the car, including shoe's, tennis balls and a tennis racket. The girl was seriously injured and completely covered in blood. It was a horrific experience and an even more horrific seen. Her car was so demolished there was no getting her out of the vehicle. I could not stay to watch them get her out, and really saw enough that I can not get it out of my head. I just hope and pray that she survives the accident and I thank god that I took my time and ran back in the house. That just may have saved my life.

Monday we will start taking appointments again for private readings and home galleries. Please be sure to visit the web site for new pricing and types of readings. We are now booking private readings in the last week of September and gallery sessions are being booked in October. Also, don;t forget about next Sunday's event in Bordentown. A perfect opportunity to purchase my new book and have it signed. We are still working on the October 28TH event for Breast Cancer. Be sure to visit both web site.
With Love and Light
Joseph

Hanging out in LA


Here I sit in my hotel room bored and missing home already. I have not even been here a full day and I'm really missing everyone. At the top of my blog you will find a little video that Bob created for his blog. I just discovered this on his blog and it brought tears to my eyes. Bob is so creative, GO BOB!

I arrived in LA at about 5:30, or 8:30 EST. The flight was long, but good. I saw two actors on the flight which was cool. One actor was Kevin Dillon and the other I believe is Mathew Connolly. I was a bit star stuck for a brief moment. I would be even more star struck if it was someone like Stevie Nicks. That was the first time I ever seen a celebrity in a public place.



It's about 10:30 here in LA now and I have nothing to do but blog and watch television. Tomorrow I have a few things to do in the afternoon, but at least I can sleep in. Tuesday and Wednesday I imagine I have a very busy schedule. I'm going to be doing allot of prayer and meditation. My project here means so much to me and I'm praying for the best outcome. I can not wait till I can share it with you all.



I'm also posting some pictures that were sent to is from Camp Kindle. This is a children's camp for those infected or affected by HIV/aids. A few months ago Bob put together a beanie baby drive to raise more then 500 beanie babies for the kids. They sent over some pictures of the kids with the beanies that I just have to post. It is such a nice feeling to do things for those who appreciate it. If your ever looking to do something for kids, check out camp Kindle. God Bless.
