💌 See How Rachael Bridges Spirituality And Religion
In a world that often demands conformity, Rachael Ortega spent her whole life hiding a profound gift that set her apart. From childhood, she could see, hear, and sense things others couldn't – abilities that brought equal measures of wonder and worry. Growing up in a conservative Christian household, she learned to suppress these gifts, silencing a vital part of herself while never wavering from her faith.
As a child, she was the outsider who knew things she shouldn't. Her innocent assumption that everyone shared these glimpses beyond the ordinary shattered in the face of others' reactions, leaving her isolated with her unexplainable abilities until finding friends in middle school.
Everything changed in 2019 when Rachael's husband passed away. In those dark days of grief, something extraordinary happened. She could still feel his presence, see his smile, and receive his messages. One day, while speaking about him, her phone spontaneously opened to display his photo. The signs were undeniable – love transcends death. Through her intense faith and trust in God's plan, she recognized that her gift could bring healing to others.
This profound experience became her catalyst for change. After years of hiding her abilities, Rachael finally embraced what she now understands as God's purpose for her life. Today, she helps others find peace through grief support groups and private readings. Her unique journey shows how spiritual gifts and religious faith can work in harmony to bring healing to others.
Her message is simple yet powerful: when we stop hiding who we truly are and trust in God, we can help others in ways we never imagined.
Take the first step toward healing.

🚧 Overnight Road Closure Alert
East Motor Way will be closed overnight from 7pm tonight until to 5am tomorrow between S Tejon and Motor City Dr. The closure is part of a project to update road signs and striping, with detours set up for both directions.
Drivers can still access nearby businesses, but it’s best to avoid the area if possible.
🏥 This Program Is Helping Our Veterans Feel Seen Again
Cedar Springs Hospital, 2135 Southgate Rd, is expanding its military mental health services to support active-duty members and veterans facing growing challenges, especially with recent staffing cuts at local bases. Their “New Choices” program, around since 2001, is getting a fresh upgrade—including updated living spaces and more veteran-specific care.
The program stands out for offering separate treatment from civilian patients in a familiar military-style setting, often with staff who’ve served themselves. The goal is simple: give our military community the support they need to heal and succeed—because no one should have to go through it alone. Full Story
🤷♀️ It’s Legal Now—But Is It Safe?
Colorado Springs has officially allowed recreational marijuana sales as of yesterday, after voter approval, but local health experts are urging residents to be mindful of potential risks. Smoking marijuana can harm lung health and mental wellness, while edibles, though smoke-free, can still pose dangers if not stored safely—especially around children and pets. Though some may benefit from cannabis use for pain or anxiety, safe and informed use is strongly encouraged. Full Story
