Yep, read the book before I started blogging again.

Would you believe it, after watching (very occassionally, really, as I am not a fan of TV) Medium (the show), I have read the book, and learnt more about Alison Dubois. Alison 'speaks to dead people' and predicts the furture. Quite amazing really, though if you are skeptical, I am not sure that this blog will convince you. I enjoyed the book, nevertheless, and there were some great examples of Alison 'gift', as she calls it.

Alison was first contacted by a dead person (her grandfather) at the age of 6. She said that she really was unaware of what it all meant at that age (understandably so, I reckon). She struggled with her parents ignoring her gift, and she said that made it hard for her to both accept her gift, and understand what it all meant. I think, based on that, that Alison was very keen in the book to provide parents with advice on how they should handle kids with similar powers to Alison. Probably good advice, if your kids speak to dead people also. I am not sure how I would manage it all, if my kids every came to me and said that they are talking to old aunty so and so who died a while ago. It must be strange.

Anyway, Alison is certainly able to substanitiate her gift, and it is amazing to read some of the stories to demonstrate her ability. The most powerful for me waas the one where a voice told her to move her bed, then during the night, a car ploughed through her wall and would have killed her, if she had not moved it. That is spooky. She also helps locate missing persons, and she has had some great results there, too.

What I found interesting was that, in the show Medium, Alison dreams a lot of the messages that she receives. In the book, she said that she rarely dreams stuff, she is just able to connect to the gift. Interesting. She consults to the show producers, to keep it authentic. In real life, she is married to an Engineer and has three girls.

Also interesting is her age - she is only 37, my age. Get that. She is a 72 baby. Any she is born on the 24th of January, me 24th of October. She appears to have done so much in her short tim on the planet. Good on her.

See you soon. Keep reading.
