Body, Mind & Spirits

It's been a frustrating few months! I haven't gotten a newsletter out for the last few months while I've been looking for a new freelance writer (I found an amazing one!); in February, I had to temporarily discontinue my in-person readings while my office landlord was doing non-stop construction on the building; and I was also going through some difficult changes in my personal life over the last few months. For those who think Mediums get a free pass on the hard stuff, think again! lol Unfortunately we have to learn our lessons just like everyone else. In fact, what most people don't realize is that our abilities generally don't help us much in our personal lives. You might be surprised to hear that, although my guides will keep me from walking down a street where there is danger, I'm (almost) on my own when it comes to romanic relationships. As soon as I become emotionally attracted to someone, my abilities all but shut off in relation to them until we've settled into the "couplehood" part of the relationship. For about the 1st 3 or 4 months, though, I'm all but psychically blind to him. Not fun for me, but, if you think about it, it kind of evens out the playing field. It wouldn't exactly be fair for me to be able to constantly "read" a potential partner and have inside information - it'd kinda be like insider trading, I think! lol. The fact is that I have to learn the same lessons about trust, mastering my negative patterns to make positive decisions and allowing love into my life that everyone else does.

This has been an incredibly difficult time for me. It's a time of great loss for me personally and, to be honest, I'm just trying to process it all - to make sense of things. Whenever we encounter a loss in our lives - whether it's by death, breakup or layoff, there's an initial period of shock, which is the kindest part of the grieving process. Once the shock wears off the real healing begins as we try to make sense of the hole that's been left in our lives. We generally begin the process in disbelief before trying to fill the hole in some way. I remember when my dog-children died in the fire, I told literally every person I met what had happened. I walked around in a daze just telling every person I met of my loss, which is very unlike me since I tend to be a very private person. I remember hoping that, if I told enough people what had happened, one of them would shake me and wake me up telling me it was a dream.
