Even sceptics have experiences…

Announcing the winner of the Goodreads competition for a signed copy of Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy –

congratulations to Kyla Imrie from Toronto and thank you for entering!

If you have ever had an isolated experience that you can’t explain… here is the true story of why I am no longer a sceptic, where I share many of my experiences. I also talk about deja vu, coincidences, instinct and luck – how I think these things fit into our daily lives.

Since launching this personal account so many people have contacted me to tell me about their own experiences, sometimes sharing for the very first time something they could not explain away.  You see, it’s easy being a sceptic – it’s coming out that is the hard part.

I can understand that for two reasons.  It’s a huge leap, no matter what you have experienced and you have to be ready to take that next step on your journey towards understanding.  For most people you grow up believing this life is everything.  The other reason is that even ‘seeing is believing’ doesn’t stop your mind from trying to apply logic that will over-ride something that was quite real when it happened!  If you think about it, it’s illogical to acknowledge something, then dismiss it because ‘well, there must be some simple explanation; tired eyes, trick of the light’ – even wishful thinking if it involves a loved one passed over ….

The point at which I had to take that next step was when my husband and I were sitting together and witnessed the same thing.  We didn’t talk about it until a week later, such was the impact but slowly we were both to learn that loved ones really are by our side and helping us in ways we could never imagine …..
