Being an independent woman, living and running a business out of a grand Tudor style home in a tranquil countryside, life felt good… Until two of my editors decided to open up the magazine to other worldly tales. They invited guest blogger Amber Dane to talk about her experience as a mom who had a dream visit from her twelve-year-old daughter, Miranda, and how that helped her cope with grief. I mean, seriously, how many people believe one can be touched by the beyond? I opposed but gave them a month to prove me wrong. That same day, the phone call came in about my dad… And my life, my skepticism, and views changed forever.
