Phenomena

Unfortunately when I had to re-start my site last month I had to delete all of my former blog entries, which included a couple that were very special to me personally; one being about the experience I shared with my readers on the night my cat-son Uno died. Apparently there were also a few that my readers enjoyed, as I've received several emails requesting that I repost them, especially the posts about interesting medium readings I've had. Unfortunately I don't have copies of the old posts or I would absolutely re-post them for you...But I CAN do my best to remember some tidbits that you all might find interesting!

Brotherly Love

Now, I personally enjoy the little things that come out in a reading that really give away the true personality of a person and their relationship with the sitter. For me, this type of information is the "Big Wow" that I would be hoping for if I myself were sitting with a medium.

Follow up:

A few of these experiences come to mind, but one of the most touching for me occurred during a reading I did for a young woman who's brother passed unexpectedly a few years ago. We'll call the young woman Kate and her brother John.

This family loves each other dearly, which has been very apparent the few times that I've spoken with John, Kate and their other sister.

Well, when Kate came in for a psychic reading recently to ask about events in her life, her brother made himself known right away, barely allowing me to get through the psychic reading - he kept waving his hand in front of my face and bouncing around the room - he was a joker in life. So finally, once her questions were answered we turned our attention to her brother, who began spewing validations. After a few minutes she said that she'd visited him recently for the first time in a long time and wanted to know if he knew she'd been there. As any of you who've sat with me before know, I don't let anyone just get by with a "yes" or a "no" - if I've gotta work so do they! lol...In all seriousness, I do request some sort of validation along with a yes or no answer and fortunately he happily obliged, telling her about a car she was in, playing a song by his favorite band for me (which fortunately I recognized) and, most importantly, pointing out the jacket she was wearing, saying that it was his, not hers. She laughed when she heard that he was mentioning the jacket, but was confused when he said it was his & not hers. I checked again with him to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting what he was saying and sure enough, he was laughing and saying that the jacket was his & not hers. We sat there for a couple of seconds and then she said it was a jacket that had the name of the band he'd just mentioned on it. Just then he told me that she didn't like that band as much as he did & he lovingly called her a "poser." A light went on for her and she understood what he meant...Music was especially important to both Kate and John and they had a loving rivalry over who was the better band - her favorite or his. (The lead singer of his favorite band is also the lead singer of her favorite band, but they're two separate bands). He was teasing her about the jacket being "his" because the band name on the front of the jacket was HIS favorite band, NOT hers...

The Walkman

Some of the most interesting readings can be those in which there is accompanying physical phenomena. Although this has happened in several readings, it's rare, making the experiences highly memorable. A few of those include the reading in which the door of the cd player on my computer, which had been broken for a couple of months at that point, opened on its own, sending my client jumping out of his chair; or the reading in which a client came in wanting to know who was "haunting" her house. As it turned out, she was co-existing with a little girl who had been there long before my client bought the land. As I was talking to my client, the little girl walked up to my table and took 2 of the little stones sitting on the its edge and began playing with them. As my client and I watched, the stones separated to opposite ends of the table, stopped and then "clinked" together like marbles and rolled away from each other, one falling off the edge and onto the floor. I could see that the little girl was playing with them like marbles (the stones were small and shaped like marbles, which were a popular children's game during the era she was alive), but my client's face went completely white, as all she could see was two stones seemingly dancing around the table on their own. Fortunately she was very open and wasn't afraid, just surprised by such clear physical phenomena.

But of all of the physical phenomena, I think the most touching experience for me came when a woman and her boyfriend came in to see me for what they thought would be just a fun, maybe even goofy experience at a psychic's. The woman came in alone first and from the second she sat down, I began receiving information from a female friend of hers who had passed. The beautiful young woman who passed told me that she was the wife of the man my sitter had come in with. She told me that her husband had been an aspiring musician - a rapper - before she died, but now, a year later, he was just letting his dream die as well...He'd given up on the one thing that made him happy. She wanted him to know that she knew how much he missed her but she said it was going to take something really special to get him to believe that she was speaking. Just as I was relaying the information to my sitter, the old Sony Walkman (for those youngsters out there, it's an old radio with headphones that played tapes...There was life before ipods! lol), which was sitting in my purse on the floor next to me, turned itself on. And no, no one's feet or fingers accidentally turned it on...my purse was nowhere near us. The woman sitting across from me was shocked and I was a little surprised myself...But it was obviously so important for the young man's wife to tell him not to give up his dream...

Some Amazing Weeks...

What a great week...Weeks like this one just go by too quickly. I had a ton of medium work this week, which anyone who knows me knows that I love...

Follow up:

I was talking with friends recently about how I got into this type of work and what I told them is that it had never occurred to me throughout my lifetime that I could make a career out of talking with "my friends" as I called the spirits as a kid. I had planned on being a writer, not a "psychic." In fact, when my friend's mother Jeannie (who was a hypnotherapist and a gifted intuitive herself), told me that I had this special gift that I was going to use to help others, I thought she was nuts. I was 19 and was more interested in boys than in the spirit world. It makes me laugh now to think of those days, especially when I have a week like this one; a week when I am able to help mothers talk to their children who passed far too young and helped wives hear their husbands tell them about the leaky faucet that needs to get fixed. It sounds funny, but hearing something as simple as, "I see you still haven't fixed the broken door handle downstairs" can be such an amazing comfort to the grieving. It means we're still connected.

I had several pretty amazing readings this week, but as strange as it sounds, my favorite was one that I didn't get to finish. It took place yesterday (Friday), close to the end of the day. It had been a fairly easy day for me thus far - I was busy, but my day was booked with my "regulars," whose energy I was used to, which always makes things a little easier. I was sitting at the front relaxing since one of my readings had cancelled, giving me an unexpected 20 minutes of free time. A few minutes after setting myself behind the front desk, a woman walked into the store and straight up to the counter asking for a 15 minute reading. Even though there were several other readers available at that time, I knew that I was going to be assigned the reading. To be honest, normally I would have been fine with it but yesterday I was having allergies, which can feel just like coming down with a bad cold - making me tired, cranky & achy. Sure enough, the manager stood up and set the appointment with me.

Fortunately the woman turned out to be incredibly nice and seemed to know a lot about the psychic process since she knew not to give any information...When I asked her what she wanted to look at, she said simply that there was a "legal issue" going on. Now, I won't go into details so as to protect her privacy, but I will say that within minutes one of her loved ones had made his presence known strongly and clearly. However, I don't offer 15 minute medium readings and I was booked up behind her, so I stopped the reading and we rescheduled her for tomorrow (Monday). Her loved one was literally hopping around though - he was so eager to talk to her, making me extra-eager as well, lol. I really liked his personality though and am really looking forward to our reading tomorrow. Unfortunately I have a sneaking suspicion that these "allergies" are more likely a cold, since I'm still tired and achy. I will continue to affirm to myself that they are no more than meek little allergies, though!

I've decided to move forward with my podcast, by the way...So those of you who have been very supportive, I truly appreciate it and will begin moving forward with that in January.

I hope you have an amazing holiday!!
