Hi, it’s me, Andrea Mai. I’ve been blogging for over ten years, longer actually. I had a crafting blog when the word blogger became a thing. And now I’ve just revamped Artist Diary. It started as a blog to document my journey as a legally blind photographer. But things took an interesting turn when I began experiencing paranormal phenomena. Afterlife communication, to be exact. With a celebrity…
So I’ve documented my encounters for almost ten years now. 2026 will be the tenth anniversary. And I’ve made a decision to continue writing and documenting more seriously. So I’ve documented my encounters for almost ten years now. 2026 will be the tenth anniversary. And I’ve made a decision to continue writing and documenting more seriously.
What you can expect to find here… personal entries about my ongoing experiences… analysis of EVP recordings and other evidence… thoughts on art, disability… and seeing the unseen, a decade-long documentary project unfolding in real time… and whatever else crosses my mind.
If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to subscribe or browse the archives. The story starts here.
For years, I fought a battle I never asked for. It was quiet, exhausting, and fought in a place that I never thought that I’d step foot in: a courtroom.
My parents own a condo, and the condo board got nasty.
For months, it was my secret second job. Researching case law late into the night. Drafting affidavits. Preparing to face a lawyer in a courtroom where I had no formal right to be. I learned that the system isn’t just complex—it’s a game. And the players who know the rules hold all the power.
I won that battle. My parents kept their condo. But the story was too important, and the lessons too hard-won, to keep to myself.
So, I wrote a novel.
Introducing Condozilla
Condozilla is a work of fiction, but its heart beats with the absolute truth of that experience. It’s the story of Clara Chang, a woman who must become her own mother’s lawyer to fight a powerful, vindictive condo board. It’s about the “us vs. them” of everyday life, the shock of seeing a system weaponized, and the sheer stubbornness it takes to stand your ground.
I changed the names and details to protect the innocent (and the not-so-innocent), but the emotional journey, the strategic fight, and the damning evidence are as real as it gets.
Why a Novel?
Because the fight wasn’t just about legal paragraphs. It was about fear, family, and the slow-burning rage of injustice. A novel lets me share the feeling of it—the sleepless nights, the shaky hands in the courtroom, the small, hard-won victories that keep you going. It lets you walk in Clara’s shoes, not just read her legal arguments.
But for those looking for the roadmap, it’s all there. Woven into the story and detailed in a practical appendix, you’ll find the real strategies, resources, and mindset that can turn the tide.
Funnily enough, it was movies and pop culture that gave me the soundtrack and the spirit to fight. (You might spot a few references in the book).
I’m still new with self-publishing as an author, so I am trying out different ways to sell my work. I have it available as an ebook in PDF format, or on Amazon as a kindle book or in paperback print edition. My royalty cut is much better for the PDF version, but I understand that Amazon is more accessible to readers.
Do you know someone facing a bully, a bureaucracy, or a broken system? Share this with them. It might be the encouragement they need to to fight back.
Next week, I’ll be posting the first chapter of Condozilla here on the blog. You’ll need to be a subscriber (free tier is perfect!) to read it, so be sure to sign up.
The Scene: We are currently in the middle of a massive snowstorm, with drifts reaching knee level. While I’d love to just stay cozy inside, the chickens don’t care about the weather! We had to literally dig our way to the coop just to feed them and change their water.
Outfit of the day
The Discovery: While we were shoveling, I took a quick video to capture the madness of the storm. Later, when I was reviewing the footage, I realized I wasn’t the only one commenting on the weather. Through the rhythmic scrape of the shovels and the sounds of the chickens, a voice manifested clearly:
“Sooo much… snow.”
The Analysis: What makes this clip so chilling (no pun intended) is the delivery. The word “snow” wasn’t just spoken; it was sung. It carried that unmistakable Prince falsetto—the same breathy, airy, and melodic voicing you hear on hits like “Kiss.”
The “Producer” Perspective: In the past, I’ve used scrambled “alive voice” samples to give him the raw material to speak (a process called Audio Transfiguration). But this time, he did it all on his own using the environment. He used the “white noise” of the shovels and the organic sounds of the chickens as his “carrier wave.”
It’s as if he’s still the master producer, sitting in a studio, taking the random sounds of my backyard and “mixing” them into his own iconic vocal signature. Even in a snowstorm, he’s finding the “buttons” to make sure his voice is heard.
For those who know his music, you know the ‘scoop’ he does when entering a high note. In this recording, that same melodic scoop is present. It’s a vocal fingerprint that is nearly impossible to replicate through random noise.
While clearing out my desktop, I found this random EVP clip from 2021. It is one of those clips that I recorded with a scrambled sound sample of P’s voice running in the background. In this clip, he formed the words, “Push a button”.
I wonder what the context of that was? Maybe he was trying out something new. It fascinates me to know that they also have technology over there too. This clip turned out so clear. It sounds like him talking on a mic inside a sound booth.
I’ve finally done it—I’ve migrated everything to a fresh WordPress install. I’ve been dreading this move for months, but it’s done.
My old site was beautiful on the outside, but it was quietly crumbling behind the scenes. This new foundation isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t look the same… yet. But it’s solid. It’s built to last and to grow.
And that means more writing.
More blog posts. More exploration. More exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else.
Right now, the blog has that “new empty apartment” feel—clean, full of potential, but waiting for life to be lived in it. We’ll get there together.
Revisiting some of my older posts (complete with those mind blowing EVP recordings) reminds me how real all of this is. The experiences, the research, the stories—they’re not just content. They’re pieces of a much bigger puzzle I’m committed to sharing.
But in the world we live in, some things need to be shared in a safe space. That’s why moving forward, many of my deeper dives and most personal stories will be for paid subscribers only. As a subscriber, you won’t just get access—you’ll become part of a dedicated community of like-minded individuals exploring the unexplained together.
I also want to hear more from you. What topics are you curious about? What questions would you like me to explore? Your voice will help shape what comes next.
In the meantime, I’ve just posted a new essay you can dive into right now: Why I Don’t Believe in Reincarnation. It’s a deep dive into a fundamental question, and it’s available for all subscribers as we settle into this new space.
Thank you for being here at the beginning of this new chapter.
P.S. If you are a current paid subscriber, I will be reaching out to you personally shortly about transitioning your subscription to the new site. Thank you for your support!
Have you ever met someone with astonishing intuitive or psychic abilities and wondered, “Why can’t I experience that?”
It’s a question many of us ask—especially when well-meaning psychic teachers say, “Anyone can learn this.”
And to some extent, that’s true. But what if the real question isn’t whether you can develop these gifts, but how—and more importantly, in what way is truly meant for you?
Here’s what I discovered: Not all intuitive paths are created equal.
Your psychic potential isn’t a blank slate. It’s wired into your energetic blueprint. Trying to force an ability that isn’t aligned with your design isn’t just frustrating—it can drain your life force and lead you down paths you were never meant to walk.
This is where Human Design changes everything.
Human Design reveals your unique energetic architecture—showing you exactly where your natural intuitive strengths lie, and where your system is designed to be more selective, even protected. It doesn’t tell you what you can’t do. It shows you what you’re designed to do best, and how to develop those gifts without burning out or opening doors that aren’t yours.
My Own Breakthrough For years, I wondered why some people could see spirits or receive vivid visions, while my own intuitive hits came as quiet, sudden knowings—a soft inner voice, not a movie screen.
Then I understood: my design has a specialized filtration system. It allows certain insights—clear, pattern-based, survival-oriented intuition—while filtering out others. That’s not a limitation. It’s a protection. And it became my superpower.
If you’re ready to explore your intuitive design—to stop comparing and start cultivating the gifts that are authentically yours—I’ve created something to help.
The guide includes the full version of this article and a detailed AI prompt to analyze your Human Design chart. Your unique blueprint is waiting.
