My Mother, My Self
My mother is a wonderful woman. Kind-hearted, giving, a great cook and a good listener. In short she is all the things a good mother should be.
My mother is also the most mean-spirited and callous woman you could ever not want to meet. She will cause a scene just to do it, just to get a rise out of someone, because she is bored and isn’t getting paid any attention. Which, to her, is all the time.
My mother is bipolar, with severe manic-depressive mood swings that leave you gasping for breath in the wake of an episode, the same way you gasp for breath after being sucked under by a huge wave of water. My mother has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). There, but for the Grace of God, go I, as the saying goes. Continue reading
Cell Memory And Soul Growth
Have you ever heard someone’s voice you have never met and just felt like you knew that person or felt a kindred spirit to them? Have you ever tried unfamiliar foods and suddenly it made you have certain feelings or visual images? Have you ever smelled a scent and it made you feel a certain way, or took you back to a certain time and place, maybe not in this incarnation, but the past? Have you ever been somewhere and the place was so very familiar to you, but you have never ever been there in this lifetime?
The human body is made up of billions of cells that communicate with each other. Each of these cells is a living, breathing, feeling organism.
Every memory from every life we have ever lived is retained and deeply engrained in our cell memory, which in my opinion exists in our soul. We can connect with these past lives through hypnosis or deep meditation, and also in our dreams. When we dream we are actually astral traveling, but we return to our bodies every morning, because our soul is connected to our bodies with what is referred to as the ‘silver cord’. Continue reading
The Blind Lady Who Looked At Pictures
An old friend of mine, who I have not heard from in a long time, called me recently and left a message on my voice mail to call him back. When I checked my messages I was surprised to hear from him after so many years.
I asked him how he got my number, since I have not talked to him for so long. Apparently he ran into my brother John at the gas station and asked him for my number. We made some small talk at first, and then told me he had some sad news – Sharon had passed away.
Sharon is my cousin and I was very shocked to hear this! But he quickly realized his mistake and pointed out that it was in fact not my cousin; he was referring to Sharon “the blind lady with the pictures”. Oh man, I have not seen her since my childhood, I exclaimed. Continue reading
Just In Time
Time is a fascinating concept, and I say this even as I sit here having not worn a watch in twenty something years!
Time, as we know it, is an incredible thing. It heals all wounds, it mends fences, faces and most cuts and scrapes and bruises. It helps marinate things to a tastier level than previous. Time is also money. The list is endless.
I watched a movie the other day, In Time with Justin Timberlake. What a trip that movie was! The basic premise is that time is the only currency. A person is given 25 years to live, and then after that their own personal ‘time clock’ on their wrists starts to tick-tock away. There is no money – everything is bought and paid for ‘in time’.
What would you do if you had all the time in the world? It made me ponder, and it made me look to the past and go around times in my life where I thought for sure this was ‘it’. Although, in retrospect I’m not entirely sure what ‘it’ even was. I certainly never knew it, even when it was right there in my face! Continue reading
Going Back To School
At the beginning of this year I did not realize how much my life was going to change. So many times over the years I have told clients that you never know how life can change when a blinking of an eye. Well, that is exactly what happened to me too.
On the last Friday of February 2012 I lost my full time job and they made me retire. I was very shook up, because it was very unexpected and I gave them 27 years of dedicated service. Suddenly, I was on the side of the fence, where many of clients have been who call me to ask what is going to happen in their lives.
How was my life going to pan out? As a psychic we usually see with clarity for others, but not for ourselves. It was time to reflect on my future; what I needed to do and where I was going. I knew in my heart for the longest time that this day was going to come, and I needed help to see what was going to happen. I asked God to show me ways in my life that I never seen before and one thing that came up was I needed to go back to school. Continue reading
How Often Do You Count Your Blessings?
So often in this life things happen that are beyond our control. It is times like these that you have to look at that proverbial ‘silver lining’ and take a moment to stop and count your blessings.
Your husband leaves you after cheating on you for ten years. Legal issues aside, you may cry because you are alone, but are you really? The blessing in this case is clear – you lost a cheating husband and gained your life back! It may not seem like it right away but it will one day.
Your girlfriend decided that she wants to “test the waters and keep her options open”. Do you cry and moan, or do you count the many possible blessings here? Do you really want to make her your priority in life, while you are merely an “option” to her? Continue reading
Don’t Take Everything Personally!
The best gift you will ever give yourself is learning how not to take things personally.
I was talking with a dear client in free chat on Psychic Access the other day and she mentioned that while it had been a hard road, she had finally gotten to the point where she didn’t take things personally anymore. I was so happy, I did the happy dance right there in my chair, yes I did! And this is a person whom, as so many of us walking this earth, has been dealt over the years more bad cards than any one person should.
So if she can learn this very valuable lesson, do you, dear reader, think that it is possible for you to do the same? Are you really ready for an act of incredible bravery? Because that is what this is, you know. Releasing the need to blame others; questioning others for why they are doing what it is you may perceive they are doing to you… it is incredibly freeing!
