Back from Virginia

Well I just flew in Sunday night from Virginia. God..it's HOT there (lol) I really enjoyed it though. Went to the house (townhouse) and looked around. Really nice area, I think the kids will enjoy it a lot.

It looks like I will probably decide to move a little sooner than planned because of a few reasons. If June is this hot in Virginia (95* with 110* heat index) then crap... August will be TORTURE! I am laboriously trying to pack and downsize a house, into a smaller townhouse. Not easy for those who have gone through this chaos. I'm shooting to part this watery state around July 18th. I was going to have a party and invite all my wonderful buds, but Nat is unable to get any weekdays off.. which means he will have to fly in on Friday night, pack all day Saturday and then drive 12 hours to get to Virginia by mid Sunday so he can go to work at 6 a.m. on Monday.... poor Nat :(


In other news....

I have been encouraged by a few of my clients to write a book about my crazy life. I'm actively researching how to go about doing this and maybe in the next year or so, I plan to get it published.

well got to get packing.

Will write again soon!

The "Blocks"

Rarely in the last 2 years have I met with what I call "blocks". People who really really want to be read but for some reason, just seem to block the flow of energy and I'm unable to reach their guides in order to relay information.

One particular block I'll call Debbie was my first. She came to me with a smile but her body told me she really didn't believe I could see her future. Her shoulders were hunched around her ears and after shuffling the cards, I noted that she crossed her arms in front of her.

To those of you learning the art of mediumship, this is a big sign of "DON'T ENTER".

I did my best to have my guide, a rather large Native American fellow, pull forward her main guide and request a "pow-wow" (hehe) Try as he might, he simply shook his head.

None of the cards fit her (at least she wouldn't say they did) and when I try and validate things, like how many children, whether her grandmother was short, died of heart attack, etc. she simply said "nope".. "nope"...

Okay, I conceded and handed her back her money. She looked at me a little surprised.
"Why are you giving me my money back?" I told her that if I couldn't validate at least 3 events or people in her life that I did not feel that I deserved payment for services (since I had provided none).

It is still my policy today. I do however send a small note to those of you going for a reading. RELAX (haha) we don't bite....well not hard anyway. Make a mental note to take 4 deep breaths, in through the nose (hold for 3) out through your mouth (for count of 3). This will raise your energy and vibrations. It makes it easier for us to talk to your "people". also watch your body language. Don't cross your legs, or your arms. If you feel comfortable doing this, hold your palms up on your lap. It channels more energy into your body. Before you begin, you can tell your reader "I don't want to hear about my relationship.. health... money" and they will steer away from that. (never known anyone to say it but hey, there's always a first!)

I will try really hard to start phone readings - I will lack the energy I typically use to read a person, so it will be a test for me. I don't want to lose touch with all of you and I enjoy your life events.. (some people are virtual soap operas !! hehe j/k)

Thanks for reading! I will post more when I know my actual move date!

Blessings

My Glitz Family

I think fate, karma, kismet or whatever term you use for the random happening that seems to change your life is still working for me.

About a year or two ago I was working at the clinic that I do my "day job" with when a solicitor (they are strictly forbidden in our office) came in to offer a hair services coupon. For a minimal fee, I could have about 20 things done to my hair over the course of a year. When you added it up.. it was a STEAL! So I signed up before the boss noticed a peddler in the lobby.

That day has indeed changed my life.

I walked in about 2 days later to the Glitz Salon on Baldwin Rd. I was assigned to a beautiful girl whose name was just about mine! Lauren. She wore a great smile and a cool retro cut to her hair. We did some highlights and I was impressed! I went back over and over and had many different things done. One afternoon I was in her chair for a long session and I kinda started to "read" her and her family. Not really meaning to mind you! I don't typically start telling people that their brother looks like this.. and he is in a band and he plays something with keys and strings, etc, etc. But I just felt comfortable with her.

She decided to have me as "entertainment" for her upcoming bachelorette party. It was going to be my first real gig. For real money. I was so nervous.

As it turned out, everyone loved my accuracy! Referrals POURED in, and Glitz became my 2nd family!

Lauren and Lori - I will never forget where I came from and I will never forget your trust and faith in me. You are my stars !

Catching you up to today

Many things happened over my life. That was 20 years ago. I converted to being a witch. Most people don't quite understand that religion (Wiccan) most of all my mother. *grin*

I married and had 2 wonderful children. My son Dakota Storm is now 13 and my daughter, Savana Rain is 7 (going on 27). I explored and really was able to tap into by abilities with my husband. He made me push the envelope, taught me not to fear the unknown and to try anything once. (haha!)

I bought probably 200 books on the subjects of mediums, psychics, ghosts, channeling, crystals, tarot, and many more that have really no genre.

I taught myself the tarot in about 4 months. I really had a hard time though I won't lie. None of the book explanations made any sense. I went to a dear friend and psychic Rennae who told me to go with my gut and say what the cards told me to. When I did that, it worked!

Listening to spirit was much easier than learning a "tool" to communicate. I typically use tarot to "warm up" your energies and then I go for what I do best, my channeling and psychometry :)

Since losing my father to cancer in March, I have become even more aware at how clearly I can communicate. The other night I was sick. I have had a bad stomach since I was a little girl. My father would hold my hand as I sat with a bucket or bowl waiting to barf!. I was sitting there and wishing he were alive to hold my hand when I heard his voice. "I'm here kid, I'm holding your hand." I smiled. The sickness passed some and I thought "well I hope that was the worst of it". I heard dad say "Yes, it's over". Then.. "Hey kid? I love you".

Funny most people hear spirit in their "inner head voice". If I'm familiar with the spirit and sometimes not, I hear their actual voice from on earth. It's comforting to hear his voice because we have no videos or recordings of him and I was afraid I would forget his laugh or his deep baritone way of speaking. Now I know I won't.

The first day

I suppose I have been psychic since the age of 5. I could find lost things for my mom with ease. Dad said that I had a crazy imagination and would have several "invisible" playmates.

I really didn't know I was a medium until I turned 17. My grandmother passed away and my mother was quite stricken with grief. Unbeknown to me, my mother had been contemplating about putting a grave blanket on my grandmother's grave that winter. This was probably 2 years since her death.

I had a dream that night where my grandmother came to me and told me I must tell my mother something. I quote "Tell your mother I am not at the cemetery and I really don't need a blanket. I only go there when she is there so that I can visit her." "Also tell your mother Thank You for planting the Hollyhocks for me, they are beautiful". I woke shortly after and that afternoon I told my mom. Needless to say, her mouth dropped open and she started to cry.

That summer my mother had purchased seeds for Hollyhocks. She explained that when she was a small girl, they were very poor. Her father had left and grandma was the only one bringing in any money. Grandma would use the flowers and toothpicks to make beautiful dolls for my mom to play with. My mom's greatest memory from childhood.

Thus began my mediumship.
