In Memory of My Professor..

Today I write this blog with a heavy heart knowing that a very special friend and teacher, my Professor, Dr. Paul Daniele, has passed into the spirit world. I will tell you that I feel such tremendous loss and sadness that I am not sure what to do first to make myself available to his loved ones. But I am here to also celebrate the man that made me who I am today and thank him. I had thanked him so many times before throughout the years that we knew each other. He was my mentor.

 I walked into the College of Metaphysical Studies many years ago not knowing who this man was and what he could teach me, if anything. I was confused not knowing what my intuitive gifts meant or really how to better understand them. At that time I did not even know they had names.

Dr. Paul was straight forward and pulled no punches; he read me like a book and immediately told me everything I needed to know. He sent me home with paperwork and told me to enroll when I felt comfortable. So I did. Intuitive 101, shall we say. I met new friends and began to feel part of a community. I felt accepted. I began to understand my capabilities and my limits. I was the pain in the class that always had her hand raised. I think secretly he wanted to choke me. (LOL) He became my mentor and when I needed to take other classes to earn credits towards my degrees, I would have preferred that he was the teacher but others had to teach too. We had a repore and I liked to antagonize him. Trust me, he gave it back.

Paul became not only a guide in my intuitive growth, but my friend.

Through his guidance I learned to temper my gifts, trust my mediumship skills, speak in public and really believe in myself which we all know as intuitives in not always that easy. He was and always will be an inspiration.  

When personal things would fall apart in my life and the trials were really heavy, Paul was able to walk me through and then laugh at me and tell me “What do you want me to say, I told you so”. He was and is a good man. In all my lessons and experiences I know that death is not the final frontier but the beginning just like when we are born. Yet still because I love and respect this man and cannot communicate with him the “old fashioned” way, my heart hurts.

Paul, I love you. I thank you for allowing me to become the person I am today. You will always be in my heart, I will carry your teachings with me all of my life. I will miss you very much as I know many others will too. Somehow I know you will be around. Enjoy the other side my friend, until we meet again.

Love Always,

Michelle
