I noticed that Mary Jo had such clarity as she spoke...
I would love to have a reading and possibly participate in an upcoming retreat and/or seminar. I saw Mary Jo at a Whole Life Expo sometime in the early 1990's. I still marvel at the experience; as I sat in the audience listening with great interest, receiving the validation I was searching for following the death of my only child (greatest teacher and friend), I sat transfixed wondering if there might be something wrong with my vision for a moment ... as I listened to the information Mary Jo shared regarding translating symbols and interpreting other information as shared by guides and loved ones who have gone on before us... I noticed that Mary Jo had such clarity as she spoke, that I could actually see through the right half of her body (as she spoke to us from the platform). Mary Jo's vibration was so high and so incredibly clear that I was made keenly aware of our own Divine Nature and the gifts shared by our angels, guides and "teachers" who dare to blaze the trail to be of service to others. To this day, even with all of the other wonderful experiences that I have had over the years, noting the incredible clarity of not just the message, but the messenger. I have recently been thinking about having a reading to gain a clear perspective and provide some validation regarding my path and discover why I struggle with releasing the remaining resistance that keeps me from moving forward... and within days... one of my more recent bereavement clients mentioned that they had just had a wonderful reading with a woman named "Mary Jo". I knew that "Mary Jo" had to be the same woman that I had been blessed with hearing share her gifts and insights so many years ago... Anyway, long story short (or not so short in this case)... I would love to schedule a reading at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you to schedule a session.
Blessings,
All three of us were just in amazement that night...
I recently went to the John Edward Seminar in Long Island where you signed my book. I was amazed at the message you gave me. You wrote, “In 2003 my truth was revealed. Now see it through.” This has been on my mind ever since that night. I went there with two friends. One also obtained a message. The other one did not buy the book because it was sold out; however, all three of us were just in amazement that night. You are a very gifted person and I personally look forward to having a reading from you and for you to teach me to be more successful in life, from the personal to the professional. I feel in life people come to you for a reason and I hope our paths will cross again.
You were right on target...
In 1998, I visited you while grieving my newly deceased husband. As there were legal problems brewing, you told me not only what the amount of money involved was, but when I would be served more papers and other such matters. You were right on target. To me, this was exceptional and comforting. It made me strong to face the situations and to learn that there are many other facets of healing, receiving guidance, and tapping into a source I had never known or thought existed. What a Godsend you were to me.
Thank you and God bless you for sharing your gift.
Thank you!
Mary Jo, I hope you know how much my readings, your teachings and workshops have helped me deal with the issues and struggles in my life. This is especially true in dealing with the death of my son, my divorce, and parental and child issues. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! If I haven't told you enough...thank you!
“People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
Elisabeth Kubler Ross...
I love that quote because it is so true and because it was when I went to hear Dr. Elisabeth Kubler Ross speak that I serendipitously met Mary Jo McCabe. What a gift!
I knew nothing of Mary Jo or anything of the metaphysical and spiritual worlds. She was just another attendee there to hear the famous author of On Death and Dying. During conversation after the program, Mary Jo was asked something about one of the theories presented by Dr. Ross. I was impressed with her reply and asked if she were a psychiatrist. One of the ladies then answered with an explanation of Mary Jo’s spiritual gift. I was intrigued and curious to learn more of this exciting dimension.
I could not wait to attend one of Mary Jo’s seminars to begin a fascinating journey into the spiritual world. That was 21 years ago and I continue to be fascinated by her God- given ability to help others; not by healing their pain, but by lessening the load of their cross by sharing her vision and knowledge of a world we have yet to connect with in this time and place. There have been countless times in my journey of life that her words have placed my steps forward when my heart wanted to retreat.
Yes, when darkness sets in, Mary Jo’s true beauty is revealed through her glorious light from within.
From a weekend workshop: I hope you and Bhrett continue the work...
I just wanted to let you know that the workshop was such a hit. I feel that many of the people came there for the "grief issue" with so much heartache and that they wanted answers from you. The thing that intrigued me was the fact that, while you can provide us with answers to our burning questions on our life's path, your son, Bhrett, can give us the avenues by which we can use our emotions to further our development along that path.
I will never forget the afternoon in your office on Jefferson Highway (the first time we met) when you told me, "You will leave your home and it will be the hardest thing you have ever done or will ever have to do." Had I not believed in you, I would still be in that dysfunctional situation I placed myself in twenty-seven years ago. But, you have to remember, I had faith in YOU, not in MYSELF! And if Mary Jo said it, I CAN do it. I never doubted that leaving my home was the right thing to do, but I seriously doubted my ability to follow my heart. But I kept hearing those words that first year I left my husband and that sustained me. Intellectually I knew that my God knows what I can do, but to put a human face and voice with that to tell me that I could, and would. Well, I never looked back.
But these past two years haven't been without fear, anxiety, worry, sadness, depression– you know the rest. I just had to focus on the big picture, the lesson, and I knew it would all be worth it. That's where Bhrett's talents and brilliance come into play. If I had talked to someone like Bhrett, then I feel I wouldn't have been so hard on myself. He said something so very profound to me this weekend that made me realize I have to stop judging myself and discrediting my feelings. I must learn to embrace my emotions and accept what I'm feeling as "okay" and all a part of the process.
I came to this weekend because my grief has been the breakup of my marriage of so many years and the loss of someone that I truly love as a result of that (aside from the fact that Mary Jo would be there, so I wanted to be also!). After listening to the stories of those who lost children and spouses and those who no longer have homes due to Katrina–those who have moved five times in the past year–I felt guilty and petty!
Suck it up and get on with your life–remember, you left home, it was your choice! These were things I kept telling myself and have told myself over the past two years. Well, there will always be someone with a sadder story. Bhrett changed my life when he told me that my grief was just as true and big and significant as anyone who has lost a child to death and that I need to grieve just like anyone else. He understands that, yes, we're given answers by our Guides and, no, they're not always the ones we want. But the thing that Bhrett also brings to this is the fact that we also need tools to help us through those lessons. We want a "quick fix" in an answer to a burning issue, but what we don't realize is the fact that sometimes with that answer a hard lesson is learned. Bhrett has helped me to arm myself for those hard lessons to make that transition a little easier.
Mary Jo, you have not only given me answers, but provided the tools by which I may find some of the answers myself. I'm getting better, but I have a lot to learn in the way of seeing what The Guides are trying to teach me. You have taught me that it's going to be all right. I can't tell you in words what that has meant in my life. We are told that it's not the destination but the journey. Bhrett has helped me to realize that there are tools to help me along that journey so it doesn't have to be so hard.
I truly hope you and Bhrett continue the work you started this weekend. I am so privileged to have been a part of that. I just want Bhrett to know how much of an impact he made. You two truly complement each other in the way you blend the "two worlds." In fact, I think that blending is necessary to survive our journey. I'm almost certain The Guides will tell you that my lessons come hard! Or, maybe I'm just a "slow learner." Be that as it may, I just love to learn and the more tools I have, the easier it is for me. I need to hear people like Bhrett! He has a very powerful message, Mary Jo.
Four years ago, Mary Jo, you changed my life and started my journey. Now, your son, Bhrett, has helped me to continue that journey with so much hope and insight. You should be very proud–both of you!
Keep the faith...
Mary Jo, I was in attendance at your "Spiritual Enrichment" Weekend and I just had to take a minute to send you a message. Yes, I wanted to send you a MESSAGE! I was not sure why my friend Brenda had called me in panic excitement during the week to tell me that I was going to go with her to something this weekend. We had never done anything like that so I took it as something I had to do because I was being offered "Spiritual Enrichment." I am a nurse and my purpose in life is to help care for people, but also teach them along the way. Because of all of my losses I have experienced this past 13 months, it has been difficult for me to give people what I love to give–myself, my time, my professional opinion, and my talents. I have struggled with my own pain and so many of my clients were in such pain themselves. But people were reaching out to help me. It took a long time before I could take it as I was on the wrong side of the table.
Since Katrina I have been on the wrong side of the table. I was supposed to be helping...not needing help. Brenda told me that she really thought I needed to attend this weekend enrichment and I felt an instant connection to it. I had never been to anything more than Holistic approaches to healing so it was not like I even understood what I was getting into. I suffer with fatigue since my son's death and I worried that I was not going to have the stamina to make it through the long hours. I want to thank you for YOU! Thank you for the giving spirit that you embrace your audience and give them everything you have. I know I asked for more than I should have but it was almost as if my son had jumped in my body and given me some of my energy back. My son and I were soul mates of sorts. I felt his pain of life and as a mother and a nurse I wanted to make it better. I wanted to will his suffering away. He struggled so with life. To hear you say that he is happy validated what I already knew. I fought accepting that he could be happy without his family, his earthly family. He was described to me by his friends as a peacemaker, storyteller, and a true friend through it all.
It comforts me beyond words to know that he is happy. I want him to be happy. I knew his religious faith and his God would help him find peace and happiness. There were days when I was not sure I was going to get through this...with your help and the help of The Guides I know I will. You, my dear Mary Jo, your family, and The Guides have given me the strength that I always had back. I feel trust back in my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also appreciate the time and effort that Jeanne and all of your helpers put into this weekend. I offer my help any way that I can to assist you to continue your passion down whatever path The Guides take you.
You asked what we needed from you and I say, "We just need YOU!" Don't give up and don't worry, as I do not think you will be taken down an unknown path...you will be taken by your hand and led to richer waters. Keep the candle burning; keep the FAITH! Always hold your friends from Louisiana high in your heart. Do not forget us during this time of critical need. Spiritually our souls share love.
For the first time, I felt I was having a personal conversation with him...
I had to tell you again what a great session you gave me. When I received my tape in the mail, it only validated what I was already feeling. This may have been the closest I felt to Mac in any of our times together. It wasn't that he said more than any other time but it was the content of what was said. For the first time I felt I was having a personal conversation with him. It was like the three of us were sitting at a table having tea and conversing. His comments seemed more personal, flowing and natural.
Mary Jo, many of the things you said I had heard him say before in just the way he would say them. In some parts, we were talking about things and feelings that I had wished that we had discussed before he passed over…things I thought I would never get to hear before we met again one day. But I get to have those words and feelings now. I cried the whole way through the tape, but it was good tears this time.
Again, please know what a difference you have made to this one, grief-filled person. You are amazing and I know that Mac must be feeling the same thing. You have made this painful journey a lot less painful and I will be eternally grateful.
God Bless you
I’m on a new path of healing and understanding...
I am so thankful for being led to you in unexpected ways! So many times you and The Guides have given me messages of wisdom and insight that still have me saying, "Oh my goodness, that IS me,” or "That's so true!” or, "Thank you for making that so clear!"
In class last week, you gave me an answer to my question that just about knocked me over. That one answer has opened up so many avenues, thoughts, answers to why I keep doing that and put me on a completely new path of healing and understanding.
Bless you for using your very special gift to help so many people learn about their life and their purpose in it.
Let’s share...
Please let Mary Jo know that her messages from The Guides resonated on so many levels for me and I hope to be able to share some of the wisdom received with my friends. She truly is a "nice" person who has special and unique gifts. We are so fortunate that she has found a path to share this with others.
Again, thank you
You gave me the direction to just hold his hands...
I never had a chance to thank you for helping me with my father.
You have always been my angel and have always guided me in my life.
I took care of my father for over two years, seeing him get better
and also seeing him decline. One day I called you to get some direction
as to what I could do for him. Before I said anything, you knew
his condition. You gave me the direction to just hold his hands.
I also knew in the core of my being that to help my father, I had
to be there for him. This was the hardest decision of my life.
I helped my father and nursed him back to recovery. My father’s
body began giving up after two years of tug of war. During this
time, I held my father, holding his hand, hugging him, and letting
him know that I loved him. Right before he left this world he gave
me a gift. He had the biggest smile on his face. That was a miracle
in itself because he couldn't move or even smile because his body
was in such a state upon his death. I thank God for this miracle,
and more importantly I thank you, Mary Jo, for giving me the extra
push when I needed it.
Mary Jo, your insight has always helped me.
Thank you!
You have enabled me to reach a clarity...
Mary Jo, your ability to find the truth that a person needs to hear
is amazing. You have enabled me to reach a clarity that I had been
searching for and to move forward with decisions that have a deep
impact on my life. Mary Jo, thank you so much for your gifts and
your willingness to share them to help with decisions that are both
life directing and heart lifting. Bless you.
You really have a gift from God!
I spoke with Mary Jo recently about the death of my son. She really
helped me. Even though I have strong faith, the reassurance of his
living soul and the joy in communicating with him have me elated.
In my personal session with Mary Jo, she hit on many personal topics,
names, and dates. I knew my son was present. During the reading,
I was so emotional I didn't know who or what you meant by some things
until I hung up the phone.
Thank you, Mary Jo. You really have a gift from God.
You and your work have literally saved me in more ways than one.
I know this might be lengthy, but please have patience. There is
so much I want to tell you but I will try to keep it as short as
possible.
You have no idea how elated I was to hear you were extending the
classes for another month and coming back for additional meetings.
I know the time has come for you to push this little birdie (me)
out of your nest to fly on it's on, and this will help me to make
that transition.
Mary Jo, words cannot describe what you have done for me. You and
your work have literally saved me in more ways than one. After my
accident I became more open to God, the universe, and the many helpers
we have on the other side. I first came to you for a reading as
a medium, nothing more, just to see if any one of my lost loved
ones had anything to say. I had no clue of the path that I would
take as a result of that meeting. Although it was a wonderful experience
to hear from my father, sister, and stepson again, that portion
of the meeting was NOT what I thought of on the ride home, or the
next year for that matter.
You started the meeting by telling me my life history. You gave
specific dates and situations I was in during those times, along
with reasons as to why I went through them. I found myself starting
to think back to those times and could not get over how accurate
you were. But in doing that, I had to relive those times all over
again. As hard as it was to feel those pains, it was also therapeutic
as I went through that self realization and acceptance. I could
not get over how much pain I completely erased from my memory. There
was still much more blocked out, but I felt I was on the right track
of forgiveness, not only in forgiving others, but myself especially.
Even though this was healing for me, I felt even more lost somehow.
I made another appointment with you. I couldn't afford it at the
time, but I also felt I couldn't afford not to either. On the way
to my appointment I felt guilty for spending money I did not have
at the time, but still felt compelled to go forward. So I decided
that would be our last meeting unless "God gave me a sign"
at our meeting that I was on the right track.
You probably don’t remember this, but at the end of our session
you told me about a class you were starting up twice a month and
thought it might benefit me. I looked at you and immediately thought;
"Is this my sign?” But, then I thought this could NOT
be my sign because God knows I cannot afford this right now. So
I thanked you but said I couldn't afford it right now. Without hesitation
you looked at me and said; "Please come. I'll give you the
first six sessions at no cost because I really believe this would
benefit you." Needless to say I was speechless.
This could not have come at a better time as I had not realized
how desperate my life had become. The universe knew it more than
I did! When the three months were coming to a close, I casually
mentioned to my sister that I was upset about not being able to
continue in the classes due to finances. Without a thought, she
said; "Denise, I know you have given me thousands of dollars
when I was broke over the years. Now I can afford to help you, please
let me pay for your sessions until you get on your feet!" I
knew this was God's way of giving me another sign.
I am now on my feet again. Not just financially, but also spiritually
and it was through you that I got there. You might be a medium and
a psychic, but that it not why I am in your classes. When people
ask me who you are, I tell them you are my spiritual advisor/teacher.
God led me to you because he knew you would save my life.
I could not tell you how many times the ONLY hope I had, that kept
me going, was knowing there was another meeting with you and your
Guides. It was encouraging to know that there were loved ones out
there who cared deeply about my well being, about my self worth,
about my being worth every moment they struggle to get me to hear
my inner voice, and know that my inner voice wants nothing but my
true happiness.
Your meetings have not only made my relationship with God a closer
one, but helped me to know myself better and like myself more. They
have given me hope, a sense of peace, and knowing that no matter
how many times I fall, I am worth getting back up again. We are
all God's children and he/she EXPECTS us to spill our milk every
now and then. It's not that we spill it, but how we clean it up
- that matters.
Mary Jo, you have been my mentor. I can never express all that you
have given me, as the list is still growing. Please know that when
ours paths eventually part and you have a moment one day contemplating
why you are going through this, or questioning the worth of it,
KNOW that there was one little lost birdie that found her way home
thanks to you. I am sure there are others out there that feel the
same as I do. You are a wonderful gift from God and I pray you have
all the love, joy and happiness this life can offer. GOD BLESS!
