I&#8217;m not the one in our family who believes in spirits. My sister does, though and maybe I should start, because the other day she won $5,000.00 in a lottery. Here is how the spirits intervened. After my sister had bought the ticket, she put it on her night table and asked both my mother&#8217;s spirit and the spirit of our paternal grandfather, whom we have never met, to make this a lucky ticket, because she needed a car. Bingo! She ended up splitting a million dollar pot with 167 other people, which netted her around $5,000.00. She bought a car!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiFyJteTgdbBIpnM2W86jZEWOIdlGF67BbNncXXVfOKsbl3gc7_jOWO1CgLx47ZdwSOlSs4Zx2pzknXmy52lui9MDbE2TY1RaOQCb6xzhXkFvvUem_QaSMe3S9ShV1CpWbT5AuJ_A\/s320\/coke+car.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"637\" data-original-width=\"960\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiFyJteTgdbBIpnM2W86jZEWOIdlGF67BbNncXXVfOKsbl3gc7_jOWO1CgLx47ZdwSOlSs4Zx2pzknXmy52lui9MDbE2TY1RaOQCb6xzhXkFvvUem_QaSMe3S9ShV1CpWbT5AuJ_A\/s320\/coke+car.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>No my spiritualism comes mainly from nature.

I have read articles about houses, said to haunted. Old houses always have a past. Some have had their share of tragedy, I&#8217;m sure. Maybe, there are souls there, who have not been laid to rest. They remain, then, in an agitated state, taking out their wrath on anyone who tries to inhabit their space.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/warflings-1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"870\" data-original-width=\"953\" height=\"292\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeiswhathappens.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/warflings-1.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I think there are also capricious spirits living in auto correct. What I read, in my writing, is never what I have written. Do you think some spirit is trying to tell me something? I sometimes believe that the cosmos is trying to tell me something. You know, that spiritual energy that&#8217;s out there. I think, if you meditate, you can be more in tune, with that energy and hear it&#8217;s message. I have made a mental note to be quiet and listen more often.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures? Photos to me are a little like reading between the lines.
