 Message from Spirit July 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book makes Spirit so much a part of life, not something way off in the sky. It helps us to feel we can all have access to guidance, profound guidance on a daily basis.
Colette's writing is empowering and inspiring. I love this book! July 10, 2008

I admire Colette's work so much that I put aside
three early mornings in a row, to read and work
through my newly purchased "Messages from Spirit";
although, it was very tempting to devour it from cover
to cover in just one sitting.
Instead, on each of the three mornings I went onto my
balcony with "Messages from Spirit" in one hand and a small cup of
thick Mayan hot chocolate in the other. I had
noticed when first leafing through the book, that Colette
explains the how-tos of tasecomancy and was excited
to test my abilities with this simple form of divination. Much
to my delight, once I knew how to read them, the
messages revealed at the bottom of my cups all came in
loud and clear!
The next several days were full of synchronicity that
I can only describe as magical. I attribute the magic
directly to reading "Messages from Spirit" as I began
to actively open up to the signs that surrounded me.
Thanks to this fabulous book I have learned to ask for
guidance in a more effective way and am much more
able to interpret the signs I receive.
Once again Colette generously shares her personal
knowledge and experiences with wit, wisdom and a
wealth of anecdotes, practical resources and
exercises.
I think this book is an authentic and uncomplicated
"must read" for anyone who is at all curious about
divination, omens, oracles and signs.
I can't wait to share it with my friends and family.
Grounded, Practical and Ohhh so Soulful and Fun! July 7, 2008

Colette's new book is just one more of what I hope will be her many gifts to us her readers. Like Colette, the humor, authenticity, and grounded realism combine with her intuitive/psychic/medium gifts and experience to create what I consider a great handbook on listening to Spirit in a variety of ways. One of Colette's core philosophies in her first book was that we all can tap into and listen to Spirit. It is truly about remembering how to do so. Messages from Spirit is one of those books you'll read through once, and you'll come back to it again and again for the reference material that she includes on symbols and signs. And it's filled with Colette's fun and personal style that has made her work accessible to so many of us that believe that life can be practical, soulful, and fun!! Thanks, Colette!
 Good idea, but falls a little short July 7, 2008

After waiting a whole month, Amazon finally delivered this book to me. It had been so long that I had forgotten I even ordered it. Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise when it finally arrived.
I was intrigued by the title and subject matter and decided to give it a go. I'm currently on a spiritual kick and enjoy these sorts of books, especially the kind that have to do with signs and spiritual guides in general. I love hearing about other people's connection with spirit.
The book gives an interesting exploration into spiritual messages and how they're received, but never really gets in too deep. Colette seems to only barely skim the outer edges of her subject, leaving the reader thirsty for more insight as the book goes on. The book also gives the impression that the author was so excited about her subject matter that she jumped from place to place without really landing anywhere. It was kind of confusing.
Her writing style was also very hard to follow at times, like she was going for a friendly conversational tone that only fell flat because she was trying too hard. I also got the sense that the author was going for confidence in her abilities but chose her words poorly. This made her come across like she thought she was the only 100% accurate psychic in the world. It was a little disconcerting, as I'm sure that's not what she meant.
There was also a whole boring chapter where she gets into religion that I felt I had to slog through. It made no sense at all and it felt like she was only relaying something she overheard from someone else, trying to make it like it was her own discovery. It was terrible and I learned nothing from that chapter. I just wanted her blither to be over with and for her to move on. She eventually did, but the following chapters weren't exactly revelations either.
While this book contains some interesting stories from Colette and her friends, it's not really all that meaty or informative. I finished the book feeling a little confused. Was that all? Isn't there more? Wasn't I supposed to learn something? These are the questions I asked myself when I finally put the book down. It left me feeling pretty unsatisfied compared to how much I was hoping to get from this book.
All in all, I would recommend it, since it does have some pretty interesting stories, but if you're looking to be fulfilled or inspired somehow, this book isn't it.
I loved this book July 2, 2008

From the moment I opened this book I felt like I was in the hands of a good and trusted old friend. I found this work to be informative, wise and insightful without taking itself too seriously as so many authors in this genre tend to do. I found Ms. Baron-Reid's willingness to open up so readily about her own journey refreshing and very engaging. I completely enjoyed the conversational style of the book- I could not put it down, and promptly bought copies for my friends. HIGHLY recommend and I will be attending one of Colette's workshops when she is next in my area.
