Secrets of the Monarch (What the Dead Can teach us about living a better Life)
Allison DuBois: the NBC Television Series Medium.

Ad part of Allison's Life's work, she comforts families who tragically lost their sons and daughters, helps authorities find dangerous criminals, and locates missing persons. She has three daughters and a supportive husband with her psychic gifts.
Like the monarch butterfly, whose survival as a species depends on it's predecessors' actions several generations before, everyone is influenced by their ancestors. But it is p to individuals, Allison says, to create their own legacies and pass the fire and passion in their lives to their children, their children's children, and the generations beyond.
This book passes on life lessens she's learned through communicating with the dead. If you want to understand life, Allison teaches, you must understand about "Death."

"Allison believes that a spirit's energy can be captured on camera in the form of an "orb."

"Allison thinks people need to think more about what hey miss out on because they are afraid to ask for what they want out of life. Take a chance and make your time here memorable. Remember taking risks is what legends are made of."

"Make every day count. What you do in life must fulfill you."

"I've learned to live in the moment, love with all you have, and do not let others design who you are. You be the artist of you."

"We are not someone else's project to fix."

"For those of you out there who are just in a bad place, remember that if you have a void in your life, fill it with something that lifts you up to a higher level."

Allison donates her time to missing and murdered persons and criminal cases for agencies across the country. She is contracted by law enforcement agencies and families to help find missing and murdered people. Allison also assists in jury selection for district attorneys offices. Allison has been featured on The Today Show, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Last Call with Carson Daly, and in countless TV Shows, magazines and newspapers.

My thought is that if I had a missing person, child, family member or such I would hire Allison, wouldn't you?

This book teaches many insightful lessons on real life.

This book is written by the author who inspired the tv show Medium. I've read her previous books, and this was equally as enjoyable. Even though DuBois is not a 'great' writer, the subject she writes about is fascinating enough to keep her on my 'must read author' list. It's a shame that her writing is all over the place, I really think she needs a better editor.

There are some great stories throughout the book of people Allison has met and provided readings for, and I really enjoyed reading about their special moments. ( )

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 074329114X, Hardcover)

In her newest book, Allison DuBois explains that the lives of people aren't much different than those of monarch butterflies--that we wouldn't be the people we are, make the choices we do, and in essence, live the lives we lead without the friends and family members that came before us and have passed over to the other side.

If you want to understand life, you must understand death. In Secrets of the Monarch, Allison DuBois shows readers how communicating with the dead has taught her important lessons about life and how readers can apply those principles to their own lives.

Although we are all products of our predecessors, Allison stresses that every person's life is part of a bigger story, stretching past family and friends to neighbors, community members and society as a whole. By making the most of your life now, Allison says, you can positively affect that story. It is your legacy to pass the fire in your eyes and heart to your children, your siblings' children, your friends' children.

After all, if you already know that the story will end, why not make the content a true masterpiece?
