Many other Intuitives come to me for a session.  They very often have a difficult time reading and seeing for themselves.  I do have the ability to read myself, and more and more I am getting the messages to spend more time in quiet meditation so I can gain a richer and deeper mastery of my gifts.The problem with me is that I do not always want to hear the truth.  I have my own agenda and that is not always for my highest good.  I am sure you have been here before like me, not wanting to hear or know the truth yet wanting a different outcome.   During one of my Medium venues last year I said to a woman; ”How honest do you want me to be with you in reference to your husband’s health and outcome?”"  She responded: “Don’t be that honest.”    Being honest, for many of us, is difficult.

I was just on the phone with my friend’s mother because I observed a heart problem around her.  As a matter of fact, six months ago I told my friend, I see leg pain around your mother and a heart condition and something needs to be done.  I just found out that last year she went to the doctor and was told she has some blockage in one of her arteries.  Now a year has gone by and I asked her, “why have you not followed up to see what the next step is for this condition to be resolved?” My friend’s mother said to me, “I was wondering lately why the doctor has not followed up with me.”  I said to her, “you have a heart condition, your legs are going numb, you need to take responsibility and know what needs to be done to solve this problem so you can heal your life.”  Now do you think she really wants to live in truth???? NO!  Her response to me was, “when am I going to have a relationship?”  She sounds like most of us; doesn’t she?  In the middle of a crisis we always want to know when the man or woman is coming into our life.  I said to her, “you can have a man in your life in the spring after surgery.”  She said, “so, you see surgery?”  Now the doctor had told her they needed to replace the clogged artery.   I am not a doctor, but isn’t surgery required to do that?    Mind you I told her about her date with surgery before I found out all of this information about the doctor.

I hung up with her and was baffled because she does not want to live in reality with her life right now.   Many times it is tough for us to live in reality when we are scared there is uncertainty around us.

Thinking about relationships made me think of the many conversations I have with my friends on a regular basis.  Going back to that whole living in truth moment…  How many times do you get the same message this guy is not the one and it is not going to work out, yet we still want to know what everybody else thinks, nd if they think it is possible.  When my clients ask me about a relationship that I know they want to be in, I see the outcome not going in their favor and this can be tough. 

I always say if something is removed from us it is because there is far greater waiting in the wings.  Also if someone does not belong to you, consider this a blessing and have your heart open to receive the gift.

Warm Wishes,

The question I get asked on a regular basis is – how long have you had your gift.  You see since I can remember – I have been able to look at a person and know things about them without even having a conversation with them.  I can see family members that died, I can see your possibilities of your future, very accurately I might add and I can see what has happened in your life and know the details of your past all without you saying anything.

Imagine being a child in your mother’s arms and looking at your Uncle who just walked in the door for a birthday party and know he is a very angry man with a lot of challenges in this life time.   Meanwhile, I had this memory when I was a child a about 2 years old.   As a child I had no idea that my gifts would turn out to be a profession and my greatest asset.  It was not easy though to get to this place. 

As a child I would always make my dad look in the closet, and under the bed  to make sure no one was there waiting for me…. Believe it or not- I still do this routine every night when I go to bed.  I do travel a lot and you better believe I check out my hotel room before lights out.  Anyway, the reason why I started this routine as a child was because the minute I was by myself going to sleep all of these people would appear over me…. Literally I could look up and there were about 5 or 6 men and woman- hovering over me.  Later I have come to find out they were from my mom’s side of the family visiting me when I was alone at night.

I would always close my eyes and open my eyes- as if this would make them go away… there were many a nights I went into my parents room to say the people are back.  I never liked sleeping alone when I was a kid because I always had visitors.

Whens the last time you really had a good, hard laugh? It truly is the best medicine - literally. In a study carried out by the Department of Social and Environmental Medicine in Osaka, Japan, the effects of laughter were investigated on the levels of stress…did you know that findings suggest that not only does laughter reduce stress, but laughter also increases the feelings of overall fulfillment. [1] This is just one of the many reasons why it is so very important to take the time to laugh.

A friend of mine, who was in her late 20s, went roller-blading with her two young children. As she skated around the neighborhood with her son and daughter riding alongside her on their bicycles, her inline skate hit a small piece of loose gravel. In an instant, her body was propelled through the air like a rocket and she landed knees first on the hard cement! In fact, she flew so far through the air that an oncoming SUV stopped instantly in the road and jumped from his vehicle to determine whether or not he had hit her. Quickly coming to her aid, he asked, “Oh my goodness, did I hit you? Are you alright?” Now, sitting on her bottom, and picking little rock particles from her knees, my friend simply laughed, “Oh I’ll be okay,” wiping the scrapes from her kneecaps, she continued, “you didn’t hit me, the rock on the road did.” While she blew both her kneecaps, and she was still in serious pain, she laughed in spite of herself and once up on her feet, she hobbled back to her house. Though vicious as the accident appeared to be, her ability to laugh at herself over the pain eased the situation and believe it or not, she was walking without incident.

Laughter helps a person cope with issues, and the example above demonstrates how it can be used to promote a better outcome. When we take a serious situation, and in no means - make light of it, but find the humor in it to diffuse the emotional trauma associated with it, we are better able to deal with it and move forward. Allow me to plant a thought in your mind right now…this moment: Smile. Are you smiling yet? You know you want to. If you’re smiling, then you are automatically feeling better right now. Your body doesn’t feel so heavy right now either. Keep smiling. A matter of fact, I bet you feel a slight butterfly affect in your heart. That’s the light…your soul inspiration…your psychic intuition…it’s telling you to smile, laugh, feel happy…be happy.

When you discover the happiness within you, your heart beats in rhythm, your eyes light up, your breathing is relaxed…and suddenly, all your worries, pain, emotional trauma…they don’t seem as relevant anymore. The human body’s cells are all intertwined. When you take a thought, that thought attaches itself to a living cell and it communicates with every living cell and organ within your body. Subsequently, if you attach a negative thought to that cell, it will bring about a negative affect…if you attach a positive thought to that cell, it will bring about a positive affect.

Have you laughed lately? Isn’t it time you stopped, shared a funny joke, watched a humorous show or simply fell back into a pile of autumn leaves and laughed in spite of yourself? Take time to heal yourself by smiling. Remember, when you smile, the world smiles with you…when you cry, you cry alone.
