"Yoo Hoo! I'm Still Here!" - Being Open to Messages from Our Deceased Loved Ones (People and Pets)

By Phyllis B. Popkin

31 true stories about Phyllis' conversations with deceased people and pets. Her goals are: (1) to have people relax more and grieve less, freeing them to pursue their own God-given purpose and talents; and (2) to realize that their loved ones are often frustrated because they can't communicate with them! People can learn to do this themselves or find someone who can.

The stories are about men, women, children, and animals from all over the world - some happy, some sad, and some funny. The messages that Phyllis reports to those on earth often elicit excited cries of "That's him! That's him!" or "That's her! That's her!"

The author's hope is that her readers will have a more open mind about life after death and the ability of the living to communicate with the deceased.

Phyllis B. Popkin

Phyllis Popkin grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She graduated from the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, and then taught fourth grade for 6 years in an inner-city school in West Philadelphia. She has been married for 57 years to her husband Arnie, whom she met at Penn. He practiced ophthalmology for 47 years and is also a very accomplished classical pianist.They lived in Princeton, N.J. for 14 years, where they helped start a holistic health center. Phyllis also served as president of the League of Women Voters of the Princeton area and taught classes in P.E.T. (Parent Effectiveness Training).Despite a very happy life in Princeton raising their two daughters and Arnie's successful ophthalmology practice, intuition led them to move to Charlottesville, VA in 1980. Both Phyllis and Arnie had taken several courses and workshops on meditation and intuition. Her intuition led her to write her first three books entitled And That's That!, Have You Seen Any Good Miracles Lately?, and Read Aloud Poems for a Happier World! She then gave many talks and workshops to nurses, social workers, community groups, and churches on laughter, stress reduction, and intuition. She likes to be called a Happiness Consultant or the Laughter Lady.Her increasing intuitive skills led to her receiving many phone calls and other requests for help with a wide variety of problems. An amazing personal experience in which her recently deceased father appeared to her led to her realization that she could get messages from deceased people and pets. After many such successful messages she knew she had to write this book to help other people grieve less by realizing that their loved ones are still living, but in a different dimension.

Introduction

Dear Reader:

If you’ve never experienced a conversation with a deceased person, you’re in for some wonderful surprises as you read this God-inspired book. I hope you’ll relax, keep an open mind, and learn a great deal.

I’m amazed that I can receive information that helps with day-to-day decisions or connects me with people who’ve passed away. I close my eyes, relax with 3 slow deep breaths, see myself surrounded by sunshine or a white circle of light, affirm that I have God’s love and protection, and make the statement:

In the name of Love, and what’s best for all concerned, may I ‘tune in’ about . . . . . ?

Here are a few reactions to tune-ins:

Hearing Phyllis’ message from my deceased mother, saying that she was up in heaven dancing . . . and so happy. . . motivated me to sign up for a dance class – something I’ve wanted to do, but put off for years! I thought, ‘Am I going to leave the earth like my mother and never get a chance to do what’s in my heart?’

A close friend

What my deceased father told you, Phyllis, is an answer to a question I asked him in a letter I sent to him when I was 12 years old, but he never answered! I’m crying with tears of joy!

A woman I met

An intuitive woman was in the audience while my husband Arnie was giving a piano recital in Princeton, New Jersey, many years ago. At the reception afterwards, she came up to him with a big smile and said she saw the deceased composer Frederic Chopin among the guests! Then Chopin stood behind Arnie as he performed a piece that the composer had written!

Arnie asked anxiously, Was he smiling or frowning?

He was smiling, moving his hands from side to side, and saying, ‘That’s right, Arnie . . . Flow, flow . . .’ (something every pianist would love to hear)

Wear the Blue Dress, Please!

(This is how it all started!)

Many years ago I received a sad phone call from my husband saying that my father had just passed away in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the time I was in Virginia Beach for the weekend writing a book. Since I was more than three hours away from our home in central Virginia, we decided it would be best for me to drive alone for six hours to my mother’s home to plan the funeral with her and my three younger sisters. Then Arnie would drive up himself on the day of the funeral.

Mom’s name was Dorothy (or Dot). Our Dad, Leonard (or Len) Berman, had been suffering in a nursing home for a long time with Parkinson’s disease. Sadly, he hadn’t been able to eat, talk, walk, etc. Tubes had been sustaining him. No longer the happy, outgoing, people-loving, storytelling, travelling insurance salesman, he could finally rest in peace … (or so I thought!)

Trying to drive carefully – and safely – through traffic around Washington (4 or 5 lanes with cars zooming in and out at high speeds), I happened to glance at the small truck on my right, and let out a joyous scream! Large letters on the back window spelled the name LEONARD . . . and the license plate below said LOVDOT!

I cried out, God, how can you do anything so creative? Here I am, nervously driving alone to Philadelphia to help Dot plan the funeral for Leonard, her husband of 56 years, and you show me a truck that says LEONARD LOVES DOT?"
