Moments with ancestors

My creative inspiration always heads right back to the past. Whether it be my own life, my ancestors lives or the psychic messages I receive. My ancestors lives seem to link together and hold hands with each other in my DNA. The first spirit I saw was my special treasure seeking Grandma and I feel her presence by my side very often when I create. I have a photographic memory and my creative mind has meticulously stored so many memories of objects or situations from the past.
