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.

So this week has DEFINITELY not been one of my favorites. I am thankful that it hasn't been worse, but it's definitely not been one of my favorites!

I can't tell you how happy and fulfilled I am now that I've started my own business, but there are some aspects of it that are very difficult, made especially so since I've been searching for a new assistant (I just found one, which I'll announce in another blog post). It sounds easy, but trying to do all of the administrative work, marketing work AND spiritual work has been incredibly trying over the last month, culminating in a logistical problem with PayPal, the online site I use to process credit card information.

It's been a while since I've written here, which I apologize for...To be honest, it's been a stressful time lately and I haven't really felt...inspired to write.

A couple of things did come up for me in the past few weeks though that have given me pause for thought, but right now I'm in a very reflective state, so I just wanted to check in and let everyone know I'm still breathing! I promise to write something here within the next couple of days, most likely explaining the state of growth I'm in currently and why I'm in this reflective state!

In the meantime, grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy some of my older posts!

In response to my last blog post, "Scary Places," a visitor asked an important question that addresses one of the biggest misconceptions about my industry. Even though it's a response to one of my blog posts, I've decided to post it as a separate blog entry because I want to make sure that it's seen. I think it's a great question and it's one that I'd like to bring attention to.

You would think that, being in the profession that I am that I would have a better sense of direction than most...Unfortunately that's not true for either my physical sense of direction OR for my spiritual one, I'm afraid. I know that I'm lucky to have escaped the place I was working...And I am so thankful...But now that I'm out and doing my best to navigate the waters out in the open sea, it's daunting...I'm more booked than ever, thankfully, but that's never been a worry for me...My guides told me from the moment I chose to leave the book store where I'd been doing readings for almost 7 years (including the period after the fire) that I would be taken care of. Now I'm just doing my best to find my spiritual voice again after such a long time of having to silence it for the sake of survival where I worked.
