When I was nine, I read a marvelous children’s book called The Witch Family by Eleanor Estes. Instead of thinking “ooh, that’s scary” or “ha ha ha,” my initial reaction was “…and your point is?”
I knew there was magic in the world. I just had to find it.
Fast forward to 1973, when I was a senior in high school working part time at Spencer Gifts. That was the year the James Bond movie Live and Let Die came out, with Jane Seymour as Solitaire, the Tarot reader. Spencer carried The James Bond 007 Tarot Deck – and I bought it. After all, we were all hippies then!
So for 20 years I read for friends, keeping my ego out of the way and making sure I was a clear channel for the information.
In the early ’90s, I was doing some deep-dish work on past lives. Suddenly, I found myself able to do hands-on healing work, distance energy work over the phone, and act as a liaison between discarnate entities and those of us currently in body. I proved to be a doorway Home for souls caught in the Grey Spaces — those who have died, but for one reason or another can’t get to the Light on their own, and haunt the living. And I found I had a talent for channeling souls and Higher Selves for those who need to know the “hows and whys” of their life challenges. All this without training. As I say, that’s when the Universe handed me my draft notice and said, “Hello, you’re working for Us.”
So I started work as a professional intuitive, keeping it part time until 9/11. That’s the day, as we watched the Towers burn, that I told my husband the psychic work needed to be full time. “I believe in you,” he said, “go do it.” I stayed in the corporate world one more year, while packing in the psychic work every evening and weekend, making sure I really could make it my profession… and in 2002, I took the full time leap.
Now? I work six days a week. I read over a thousand people a year. I write, I travel, I teach, I share what I’ve learned through those unexpected gifts and the new tools I’ve found useful over the years.
And I get to get up in the morning, I don’t have to get up in the morning. When that happens, you know you’re right where Spirit wants you to be, and there’s joy in doing work you were meant to do.
