Every other Wednesday, I work for three hours doing clairvoyant readings at a small bookstore in Englewood, Colorado, called “Cornerstone Books.” I’ll be work the Metaphsyical Fair that the owner Deb Guinther puts on, and will be there doing more clairvoyant readings at the end of the month.
Mary, the store’s manager told me that someone was there for a reading, and I walked out into the store area and saw a man there. For reasons I didn’t understand at the time, I was expecting a female – a young female. “Who’s here to see me?” I asked.
“I am,” the man said smiling.
“Really?” I was surprised to say the least. “Are you here with someone?”
“No.”
“Huh, I was expecting to see a woman, a young woman. Are you here with your wife?”
“No, it’s just me!” he said.
“Okay then, let’s talk,” I said, leading him back to the room where I do readings. As we sat there, to be honest I couldn’t connect with him on a deep level. He told me that he really wanted to talk about his daughter, but I told him I don’t do that sort of thing. I feel as though it’s an invasion of the other person’s privacy.
As we sat there, with me struggling to connect with him, his daughter walked in. She was almost as surprised to see him, as he was to see her. I was more surprised than both of them. I finally admitted that I couln’t help him at this time, and that he might want to come back another day. He agreed.
HIs daughter came in, and fortunately, her reading was much easier. Could it be because he wasn’t there to see me for himself but for her? I really think that’s the case. This served to confirm for me that as a psychic when I do this sort of reading, I’m not a “fortune teller” so much as a Spiritual Director. As such I help people to discover the truth that they have within themselves.
While I couldn’t help her father, I was able to help his daughter find her way out of a bad situation. She walked away with a feeling of hope in the midst of her young troubled life. I felt, and feel, very blessed to have been chosen to do this work.
I feel your peace.

Remember Your Loved Ones, and Elephants

Tomorrow, at sunset, Jewish people around the world will start observing Rosh Hashanah. I will be too.
No, I’m not Jewish, but Rosh Hashanah is a time to look ahead with hope. It’s a time for self-examination and spiritual renewal, an opportunity to put aside the shallow and fleeting distractions of daily life and seriously question whether I have become the person I could or hoped to be. So, for the next few hours, I’m going to be engineering my year, asking myself questions, and remembering elephants.
I’ve only been to the circus once, and that was when I was about 13 years old. Like a lot of kids I thought about running away and joining it. At least I did that night. Then there was an invitation for anyone who wanted to help break down the circus to do so. It was great! All I had to do was show up, help out, and then I’d be asked if I wanted to go off to the next town with once they saw what a hard worker I was! What was really cool was that I’d be able to meet the beautiful woman who did the trapeze act, and she’d fall in love with me, and … and then reality hit. I discovered circus life was a lot of hard work!
I forgot all about running away. I just wanted to go home. After I was done (meaning too tired to want to work that hard again) I walked over to where my parents, and my brothers and sisters were waiting for me in our car. Somehow they knew I’d be coming back home.
One of the things I did see that amazed me (besides the beautiful young lady on the trapeze) was the elephants. I saw them tied to these little posts, and held there by little ropes. I heard someone say that night that elephants have been known to die in fires because they didn’t think they could get away since that rope was around their ankle. For years I had the impression that elephants aren’t very smart since they didn’t know all they had to do was give those ropes a yank, and they’d be free.
Years later, I later found out the truth. I found out how the handlers train the elephants from day one to stay put. From the time an elephant is young, a chain is tied around it’s ankle which is attached to a metal stake driven into the ground. No matter how much they pull, they can’t get loose. Over time, those beautiful beasts become convinced they can’t pull out the stake, and because they’re convinced they can’t, they can’t! It’s known as “conditioned consciousness.”
I’ve done the same thing. I’ve convinced myself I can’t do something, so I don’t. Not only that, the actions I take don’t even put me in a position to what I can to live my life to the fullest.
So, I’m going to start thinking about the answers to questions like –
If all the things I wished for came true, what would it feel like?
I’m one of the country’s most sought after psychic mediums … what would that feel like?
Thousands of people’s lives are being changed, and healed, by reconnecting with their deceased loved ones during readings with me … what would that feel like?
I’m connected with God, myself, and others in the deepest sense … what would that feel like?
I don’t know how I’m going to do any of this. I’m just going to leave that to God, the Source of all that exist, to take care of the details. I’m not going to focus on the process. I’m going to focus on what I want – and I’ll continue to do my sharing.
Whatever is it I want, is already here. These next few weeks, as I work on my 99% (consciousness), I’m convinced I’ll notice that my 1% (physical circumstances) will follow suit.
I’m talking about this because I know that your loved ones who have passed away want you to live your life to the full. What is it you are convinced of that keeps you from doing this?
Figure that one out and you’re on your way to an incredible year.
Please don’t forget to pray for our Jewish brothers and sisters as prepare for their new year. And don’t forget to pray for your loved ones and their journey of renewal and hope, both here, and on the Other Side.
I feel your peace.
