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.
