Psychic – who? me?
Funny, I thought I was going to open a jewellery shop.
As a child I was asked what I would do when I grew up.
I replied "I'm going to be a doctor and a nurse and a teacher; make jewellery and make people feel happy, read books to kids in hospitals, and be on TV."
I don't remember who asked me, but I remember there was a laugh, and I was told that would be really hard and I would have to be at school till I was about 30.
I don't have to take that long to learn, the lady said I did, we had a discussion for a while, then "Forget it I said, I will think of something else then, I won't be doing that". And then I waited for almost 30 years to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up.
At 35 my life started and I learned Reiki. It took days. Not a traditional Doctor or Nurse, I am a healer, a teacher, I do make jewellery, I help people put down their stress, which helps them feel happy. I have also read books to wet kids 'trapped' in the school library at lunchtime. (It's still my dream to be able to read at the hospital at some stage)I have spoken to around 500 people in a large space, no butterflies, no worries, no problem at all - but give me 150 bedraggled kids hanging off your every word and you'd better NOT miss a page in their book.
That's 300 eyeballs you know. :)
3 years ago I sat down and wrote down all the funny things that have happened to me, the things I saw, the things I felt, things I just knew, deja vu & dreams. Before I realised it I had been writing my ‘notes’ for an hour and a half.
I had just thought I lived my life in a weird way with the volume turned up; I thought everybody else heard, saw & felt like I did.
Like I said – the last one to know. Eventually there was no more shutting it out. Making notes of your dreams and knowings is a great way to spend an hour - try it; you will very likely be surprised what you find.
Now I am doing something that brings me great joy every day. And I am happy to stand and be heard by anyone, because I'm in my truth and walking a path that has been chosen for me. To know this and feel it is very empowering. I am still the same person, though with a new dimension. I couldn’t have done it at 20 or 25 or even 30, and if I had carried on the way I was going as a child, I probably would have beeb considered crazy. There is something about being 40 that helps you ‘cut to the chase’ and put down the feeling of having to fit the mold that others will make for you. That's freedom.
Some of the life experiences I have had have been traumatic, extremely difficult and I now understand them as ‘lessons’ for the work I currently do. Overcoming the fear and replacing it with love is something I have managed and if I can do it, it’s a liberation that’s available for anyone, and helpful on their journey no matter what it is. I’m grateful for who I am, and that I can help, teach, heal, if I hadn’t had these experiences, I wouldn’t be who I am today, and I'm having a great time sharing, loving and growing. So I have to bless the experiences, good and bad, and the people that brought them my way, for these people are my teachers if you take a look at the situations from a different angle.
I am inspired by everybody; 'normal' people can be great spiritual teachers as well as Buddha, Gandhi, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, Florence Scovel Shinn & many more. I really do love what I do and I feel like I am finally living. I'm passionate about it and excited every day to see what is coming next. It's all very well to be able to see for others, and I have seen some things for myself, but we don't know everything that's going to happen. And the amount of psychics that swap healings and readings at quiet shows would surprise most people.
