"Dear Michael and Marti,
I wanted to thank you for a fantastic reading at Home and Soul in La Mesa in January. It was my first, and I had so much fun! It was so gratifying to be with my family members 'over there', and to laugh and interact. My saucy sister Margie, who passed at 43, was a delight, and told you things that nobody but myself could know.
After the reading I was left with some questions, but many of them have been resolved as I get more information about family members who have passed on. Example: you said there were three of my cousins there, all brothers, but I 'knew' there were only two. You said to check with their mother, my Aunt, who is still living. I did, and she confirmed that one of her sons was a twin, and the twin died before birth. That makes Three! I never knew that!
We haven't yet identified who was the person in the portrait you drew, Marti, but with features like that he is definitely a "Skinner" (family name) from long ago.
But the reading wasn't just a novelty, a good time, something to tell people about. More importantly, It brought about a subtle shift in my thinking, in how I felt about life. I had a surgery scheduled five days after the reading, and had been very uneasy about it. After the reading, I felt so calm, and knew I would not be alone; people who loved me would be right there by my side. And they were. And everything has turned out just fine. I used to be hesitant about bringing up this subject, but now I tell my experience to anyone who will listen. There are more people than I thought who are open and interested, and my sharing is good for them, too!
Your reading confirmed for me that we never lose our loved ones, and that we ourselves do go on, and on. Indeed, things that seemed so important pale in the wake of that knowledge.
Again, thank you both for a life-changing experience. See you again soon.
With much love,
Sharon "Shan" Fox"
"I met Marti and Michael at the Whole Life Expo in Costa Mesa. I had never before had a reading of the type Michael does, but I was totally open to it. Michael began by bringing through my little Pomeranian dog, Chewie, who had recently passed. Then a male presence came through which we identified as my adoptive father, Stuart Fletcher.
I had an enormously difficult relationship with both my (deceased) adoptive parents. We were, literally, from different planets. My father passed recently due to natural causes (he was 91). I was there to help him cross over, though he had long ago broken the father/daughter bond by behaving in a highly inappropriate manner toward me. He had little respect for women and had a typical alcoholic's temper. To the end he was gruff, demanding and rude. I felt almost no grief or loss when he passed and believed there was no unfinished business between us.
Yet the reading I received from Michael brought me comfort such as I'd not thought possible. The word "sorry" came through over and over. I was blown away by my father's spirit saying, "we were simply overwhelmed by you. We thought we'd adopted a sweet little thing we could control and manage. You took us by a storm." How true! As a child, into my teens, I thought I was a bad girl, rebellious and unlovable. My parents always seemed to be displeased with me. How comforting it was to look at the situation from their perspective. They were doing the best they could, based on what they knew. And I was made strong by our constant clashes. I don't regret a thing.
Marti's accompanying sketch is astonishing. Comparing it to my father's photo, you can see that the lines around his eyes and especially his cheeks are accurately placed. Note the shape of the ears, the chin, the bang-on neckline, the pronounced nose and the twinkle in the eye. My father was a rogue, a ladies' man, and a scrapper." Sincerely - Wendy
"I would like to try and express my love and gratitude to both of you, however, I am at a loss for words.  I sat with you today.  My friend Gilda was pulled into my reading by her deceased husband. We were both very emotional and overjoyed the whole trip back to San Diego. It was very clear our loved ones want and need to continue to communicate with us, and be seen. With your God given connection and your love that comes through, you bring joy and healing to those on the other side, and us. I would like to send my love and say THANK YOU" - Karen

"I've been thinking about you both and wanting to call and just haven't gotten around to it yet - so I thought I'd answer this e-mail to let you know you're on my mind. I wish I lived closer by - I'd go to every one of your seminars. I still am going through some difficult times over my mom. I take that tape of our first session together to bed with me each night when I've had a sad day. It's the only thing that gives me some relief. My brother and I agree that you are the best Michael. And I've never seen anyone do what you do Marti. He recently went to a seminar with John Edward, and he said you're just as good. They cut out all the things he says on TV that isn't exactly on target." - Sue

"Thank you for the time we had last Friday.  I feel so much more at ease knowing what I learned regarding my son Michael.  I   knew he was ok and was pretty sure my mom had been there when he died to help him over.  Having that confirmed just is reassuring.  When my son Mike stated he came in with problems and continued to work on them during his life, that too was reassuring because while I didn't know that, it seemed that way.  I did as much as I could to be helpful to  him.  His comment about AA was exactly what he seemed to say but never was able to say it directly to me.  I was happy to be able to tell his daughter Emily, that her father said she was the best thing that ever happened to him.  For her, that is the truth as well. Thoughts continue to permeate my soul from being with you and you can be sure we will have time together again in the future.  Again, my deep appreciation for your ability and willingness to share your gifts with us." -Sheila

"Thank-you so much for last night!! It was so incredible to hear from so
many people, especially my mother, uncle and aunt. It was fascinating. I felt really good when I went home. I knew my mother would show up!!!! I'm grateful to Susan for inviting me. I hope to see you again." - Debbie

"Happy New Years to you both - I can only say how wonderful I have felt since my reading with you and how at peace I am as now I really feel I will see my Husband once more. Thank you so much. Please let me know when you're going to be in Reno again.  I have several friends who would like to have a reading.  Thanks" - Jan
"Hi, My mom has come to see you twice now and she has had 2 drawings ... the second one I recognized immediately as a friend of the family that had passed away about a year ago. She was very close to my Mom and a friend of my grandmothers. My Mom said that Michael said her name began with an "M", and her name is Madeline. My Mom also said that you said she was a friend of the family and of her Mother's.  Just wanted to let you know.
Thank you" - Stephany
"The last time I saw you (early September, at The Path) my dad came through with several very clear messages. He was the one who kept snapping his fingers.  I hope to see you in the near future. You guys are a real credit to The Work !" - Mary

"Thank you again for my session last Wednesday. I really enjoyed it. A few names and numbers that didn't resonate with me at the time did come back to me. It was a very forceful, emotional experience once I listened to your tape again to know that my family is really around me. Thanks." - L
"I just wanted to thank you both so much for the incredible reading I received! You were in Reno, Nevada on Friday October 11, 2002 at Pathways Gift and Book Store.  Things were a little crazy for me the couple of weeks prior to you reading for me and I kept talking to my Grandfather who has passed and begged him to some how find someone like you both for me to see and talk too. Well he did and it was amazing. I can't tell you how much you helped me. The more I listen to my tape the more I validate and understand from it!" - Lisa
"I just wanted to thank you VERY much for the best hour of my entire year - when you told me my father was next to me and wanted me to know that he loves me." - Jan

"I listened to my tape a few more times, and you are right. I amazed at how much was correct! I didn't connect the dots till later. Good job! You are right he has a "gift".

"What a great response you had with incredible confirmations.  You two are fabulous!!!  See you soon" - Heather
"I attended your Sat eve session. You were talking to me about "Betty", since she was a friends mother, I didn't have confirmation of things you were coming up with. I now have some feedback for you. Betty had cancer treatments, chemotherapy. You saw many wigs, and a bandaged head. You saw one black eye patch - she had this due to a stroke. You saw a bus - we had to drive her to her daughter’s house in our 35 ft. RV - this was one week before she passed. You kept seeing the 49ers / San Francisco- I didn't place it at the time but we had to drive up the 5 fwy toward San Francisco and the last route we took was interstate 49. You kept coming back to " William" and also said "Alf" - Betty's father's name was William Alfred. You also were "dancing" - her daughter stated that Betty always wanted to be a choreographer. One of the last things she said to her daughter was that when she got to heaven she "wanted to dance and see her Father". Sounds like she 's doing both. Lastly, the picture that was drawn, you stated felt like it belonged to Betty. The picture is a pretty close drawing of her daughter Shirley. Also when you were showing the picture, you came up with Shirley's name. We are trying to come up with a photo for you.
I was very impressed by the evening. It was my first experience - but not my last. I will be contacting you to arrange private sessions. Thank you so much." - Susan
"When you did a reading for me, my mother was the one you drew. The next day there was a reading for my wife. My father was the one you drew. He never met my wife in body... we were married after he passed.
Your reading was so powerful for me. There leaves little doubt for me that our loved ones are somehow still with us and still helping us through our lives. Thank you again for your work in this area." -  Mark
"Thanks so much to you and Michael for bringing my Dad (and other relatives) to me.  It was quite an emotional, but very happy experience.  Bless you both" - Julie
"You did a drawing of my husband's friend who had passed away.  Michael's reading was right on point. It was amazing.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I did a speech presentation about Life After Death and I talked about the session I had with you and Michael and people were stunned with the Spirit Art!  Thanks again." - Patricia
"One of your questions, Michael, during the reading was if I had any connections to Montreal?  I did not realize it at the time while my grandfather, whom I never got to meet but have always felt a great kinship to, was coming through to you that his regimental photo from WWI was taken in Montreal.  I have been trying to get around to having it framed for many many months now.  I think he was trying to tell me something.  It was several days after the reading that something told me to take the photo out to look at it.  There I saw the city and date of 1915 written on the bottom of the photo.  It was a great confirmation that I actually connected and felt my father's father there.  A small dog that I was very attached to also came through for you strongly.  Several weeks later I looked out my front door to see a woman walking her dog.  I gasped at what I saw.  The dog looked identical to the one that came through.  I asked her if I could see her dog and introduced myself.  The dog crawled right up into my lap and it was like holding him again and petting him.  I don't believe in coincidence and I really feel that it was all linked together like a great gift.  Thank you both so much." - Iah
"I've been wanting to let you both know how much I enjoyed my reading and drawing.  Michael, the things I didn't figure out with you, I found out later to be true....
My whole reading was AMAZING!" - Dianne
"Thank you both for the insights I received. So much personal stuff is coming up. I wrote most of it in my personal diary. You communicated so many family names that it was a little eerie at first." - Lorraine
"Just wanted to touch base with you regarding my reading on Sunday. first, I wanted to thank you as it was the most wonderful reading and experience I have ever had." - Lisa
"Last night my friend and I spent a wonderful evening at the Path with you. I truly want to thank you for the magical evening you gave us and I had the feeling everyone there present (felt the same). My friend has been grieving for over 2 years. She always had some relief during our meditations we have been doing regularly, but then, the next day the everyday's life caught up with her and the tears have been filling oceans again... when I saw your flyer at Whole Foods I knew this was it.  I convinced her to give it a try and I did not have to talk a lot. She was looking forward to that evening. I personally had the feeling that actually her beloved lost one came over 2 or 3 times but she could not react to it. I looked at her, but she was like she could not talk. Many other people came through she did not expect but she knows, that HE was there too. I'm pretty sure she will come back to see you for a one on one connection, which probably will even be better. So I just want to thank you for opening the door for her and so many others.... You truly do magical work, keep it up and I am looking forward to learning more from you." - Doris
"I have been raving about you guys! Still listening to the tape and getting more information. You are truly incredible!" - Isabel
"Last night ... it came to me.  That picture is of my step-mother's grandfather.  I never knew him, but I remember seeing a picture of him many, many years ago.  Now all I have to do is figure out why he's around.  Thank you for this mystery I am to unfold!"  - Susana
"What an experience it was!  My grandfather was very special to me and it's a comfort to know that he is here looking after me.  Thank you again."  -Vicki
"I just wanted to write to you both to let you know how grateful I am to you and your amazing gifts.  When you (Michael) told me that my best friend, Heather, was there and I got to connect with her, that was such a happy moment for me.  When I got home, I looked for pictures to find of the person that Marti drew and I found him.  He was my Grandfather Harry, my mom's Dad.  He passed away when she was 7 years old so I never got to meet him.  I was so amazed and happy to know that he is around me and watches over me." - Danielle
"I want you to know that the drawing you drew of a very strange man for me turned out to be someone I did know.  As soon as I got home that night, I looked up in my many albums of photographs I have and he was on the first page.  He used to be married to my daughter many years ago, and that's why I didn't recognize him." - Carole
"I was very impressed by the abilities of the two of you.  You are a wonderful team!  Marti, I have shown the picture of my maternal grandfather that you drew to my mom.  My mother was very surprised, and a little shocked, but very happy to see her dad again!  Thank you both, very much." - Donna
"(While Marti was drawing the portrait of my Uncle Morteza), Michael brought through my grandmother, or, Morteza's mother.  She told Michael all about my wedding and my husband and how she helped us meet.  This is especially wonderful news because my grandmother was a devout Moslem and my husband is a Jew.  I had always wondered what she would have thought if she knew about my marriage and now I know that she brought us together." - Shereen
This was before we started recording all sessions:  "When I got home, I wished I had made a duplicate list as you did, for I couldn't remember all the names or things we touched on the I didn't recognize.   BB was the name of a fox my grandmother used to call out as we were kids to feed in the desert where she lived.  (My sister, who came through you), Coral, loved that story and used to share it a lot at family gatherings.  The picture Marti drew was a picture of my grandmother, not my mother-in-law.  My (older) sister saw that immediately.  I was very young when she died, so it was a memory stored way back there." - Sandy
"Michael and Marti were truly amazing! I had been dealing with a producer
who wanted to make a film about a Saint. I spent my own money and did a lot of work free for him, and I never knew if he was happy or not with my work. When I sat for a reading with Michael and Marti, I told them nothing about myself. When they completed the reading, the drawing they channeled was from this Saint. I took this as a sign, that our thanks always come from the Lord above and not from mortal man, that this Saint was channeled through Michael and Marti, and this was her way of saying' thank you, you did a great job.' May God bless you both in the work your doing for humanity, the reading to me was l00% accurate and right on target. Thank you."
