Ladies Night Out

Last night I participated in a great time. It was a fund raiser for The United Way. It was a Ladies Night Out event in Big Lake, MN. I was there to do psychic readings for people.....I did a lot of them.

This was my first time doing an event such as this. I'd done several single readings right after the other, but nothing like last night. I was a bit worried that I'd have difficulty giving readings like that.

My first reading started at 6pm on the dot. They were 10 minutes long with 5 minutes between them. I did my last reading just before 10pm. Every slot was filled on my dance card. Wow.

I didn't need to worry though - the spirits just flowed through me. I had so many parents show up to greet their children and in some cases, to give some major messages. There were lots of smiles and lots of tears and some aha moments.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Of all the things I do in my life - this is the most rewarding.

Memorial Weekend

I have had an interesting few days and it's not over yet. On Tuesday the Serpentine belt broke in my car. That began a chain reaction of events. I talked to a mechanic about getting it fixed. I took Thursday off to accomplish this. One of the men I work with heard about my belt issue and told me that he would come and fix it for me for free. Free always sounds like a good thing. In reality it rarely is. He arrived at my house at 12:30 saying it would only take him about 20 minutes to fix it - he's done it lots of times he says. When he looked at my engine and said, "It would have to be a Chrysler" I suspected I was in trouble. He then noticed that my pulley was not turning and told me that he'd have to take that off and replace it before he could fix the belt. Okay. He then proceeded to take apart things. I was more than a little disconcerted. Then he said he just had one more bolt to loosen but it was stuck. I got him some WD40 which didn't seem to help. Then we found a pry bar for him to use. He pushed and pushed and then SNAP. He broke the bolt. It seems that he'd been torquing on it the wrong direction. Things had become complicated. I asked him if I should just call a tow truck and have it taken to the shop and he insisted that he could fix it. He made a call and found out the the bolt he'd broken needed to be purchased at a Pontiac dealer. While he was calling around I went into the house and called my mechanic and left a message hoping he'd call me back. After the "helpful" co-worker left to go back to work my mechanic called me back and I explained to him what had happened. He told me that he was concerned that if he didn't tap and drill exactly he would crack my block. The mechanic then did something you rarely see anymore. He drove to my house to look at it personally. He even brought another mechanic with him for a second opinion. They explained things to me and I asked if they'd be able to help me. They could. They drove my car to the shop (it was only a mile away) and within 2 hours it was fixed and back at my home. The FREE fix I'd gotten cost me an extra $170. At least my car is fixed now and I know I have mechanic's I can count on.

Friday I did one medium reading. Saturday I did three readings. Sunday I did one. I'm always amazed at how different each one is. I love this aspect of my life.

Monday I head to Harmony, MN. Time for an Amish Day away. Nothing is more soothing to me than basket shopping at Amish farms. Perhaps I was Amish in a previous life.

The First One

Hello -
This is my first attempt at blogging. A good friend of mine, Lauri Robinson, suggested I do this so I'm giving it a try.

I've had an interesting week. I'm on vacation from my full time job. I've done some spring cleaning but mostly I've taken care of me. I've done a lot of meditating, a lot of laying on my couch and a lot of reading. I've felt the stress of my work life melting away. I'm a little concerned that when I go back to work on Monday it will all come rushing back on me, but for now, I'm just going to enjoy the time I have left. 3 more days. Tomorrow I have absolutely nothing on my calendar until dinner. My daughter and her husband have offered to take me out.

A little something about me. I'm nearly 50 and looking forward to it. I sometimes live alone, but currently have a houseful. My daughter and her husband live in my basement while they search for a home to purchase. They have a puppy, Mikko. My son lives in one of my spare bedrooms with overflow into the second spare room. He's recently gone back to college and should be home with me for years to come. This makes me happy. He brought his cat, Danny with him. Danny is named after the lead singer of Tool. You probably know a lot about my son just from that. I have an elderly miniature schnauzer named Tellie. My house is full of fun.

I have a full time job that will stay a secret at least for now. I will share my part time job though. I'm a psychic/medium/healer. I'm a Spring Forest Qigong healer which is interesting and enriching, but the psychic/medium thing is what I was born to do. Last week I read two young women. Next week I'm reading two more women. I've noticed that readings tend to come in two's. Must be that safety in numbers thing.

That's all for this blog. I will be back soon with more news.
