Body, Mind & Spirits

Tonight, during my last reading, I became aware of how unusual my life is. It's not like I haven't known that my perceptions were somewhat different than the average person's, but there are some moments in life when your eyes pop wide open, as if you'd been squinting your entire life until that moment...I've had a few moments that have come close - like the time I was at a "Hollywood" party held by a publicist (oh, don't be impressed - I was huddled like a frightened puppy in a corner for most of the night, lol). I was talking for about 45 minutes with a physicist before she finally asked me what I do for a living. Now, I've read about jaw-dropping experiences, but never thought I'd actually live to encounter one myself. Well, I'm here to tell you the act of the jaw falling agape can and does happen! lol She stared at me in disbelief for about 10 seconds before blurting out, "But you're so RATIONAL!!" Of course I couldn't help but laugh.

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.

This has been an incredibly difficult time for me. It's a time of great loss for me personally and, to be honest, I'm just trying to process it all - to make sense of things. Whenever we encounter a loss in our lives - whether it's by death, breakup or layoff, there's an initial period of shock, which is the kindest part of the grieving process. Once the shock wears off the real healing begins as we try to make sense of the hole that's been left in our lives. We generally begin the process in disbelief before trying to fill the hole in some way. I remember when my dog-children died in the fire, I told literally every person I met what had happened. I walked around in a daze just telling every person I met of my loss, which is very unlike me since I tend to be a very private person. I remember hoping that, if I told enough people what had happened, one of them would shake me and wake me up telling me it was a dream.

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!
