A good negotiator

I’m a very good negotiator in my head when it comes to making excuses for why I’m not doing something or feeling a certain way about myself. And, as much as I could and should be kinder to myself, I also feel like sometimes a little tough love can go a long way. Motivational speaker; Mel Robbins often quotes, “No one is coming to save you.” Well, that’s a large dose of OUCH. But, damn, it’s true. Taking responsibility for our present life and future life, changing the way we think, and shifting the feels to rid of negative thinking... it takes work!

But if there is one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s in breaking things down into doable steps, celebrating every little win along the way, and sharing my victories with those who lift me and support me. So, remember, recognizing and changing your thought patterns, creating action is a process. It’s a journey that requires practice, and where practicing it is key.

Navigating the Tough Choice: When I Must Turn Away a Client

I'd like to share a personal experience that is a difficult and important aspect of my work as a psychic and medium: the heart-wrenching decision to turn away a client when their energy is misaligned with the spiritual work I do.

It's a decision that weighs heavily on my heart because, as a psychic medium, my calling is to be of service. I genuinely want to help those who seek guidance, but sometimes, energy misalignment creates an obstacle that blocks the clarity and accuracy of the session. In these moments, I have to do what is in the best interests of the client.

As a psychic medium, I'm driven by a deep desire to serve my clients with compassion, empathy, and integrity. My intention is to provide guidance and insights to those on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and understanding. Unfortunately, there are moments when the energy between a client and me is off-balanced that it becomes very difficult to provide the level of service they truly need, even if the session hasn’t begun yet.

Here are some reasons why turning away a client with misaligned energy can be the most compassionate and kind choice:

Too soon after a loved ones passing: Sometimes, when a client has recently lost a loved one, their grief can cloud their ability to receive a message. This can lead to misunderstandings and confusion during the session, adding to their sorrow. In these moments, it's important to protect the client by prioritizing their well-being. While everyone processes grief differently, I often suggest to clients to wait before receiving a reading following the passing of a loved one.

Self care / Professional help: Sometimes, a client's energy may be misaligned due to emotional or psychological factors that require professional help that I cannot provide. As a psychic medium it sometimes get confused with seeking professional help, whether its a therapist, doctor, financial advisor, etc.. Encouraging them to seek alternative support is a compassionate step toward their healing journey.

In the layers.

I have never been able to just simply 'see' the world around me in its natural state, like a tree or flower. Although I can appreciate and honor it for what it is, my mind often dwells in the layers, the seasons, and the memories it evokes. Yesterday, during my much-needed morning hike, I fell in love with how bright and green the algae was on top of the water, contrasting against the blue water and the darkness of the tree line. I feel a bit dorky and poetic when I write things like this, but it's true. And where did my mind go? To the artist Mark Rothko, known for his color field paintings, but also for the pain and suffering behind them. He once said that if you only see the colors, you're missing the point. Maybe that's why he has always been a favorite of mine.

Turning License Plates into 2024 Goals & Intentions

I can’t help but see signs in everything that passes my line of sight, especially if it is something out of the ordinary. This morning, on my drive home from visiting my daughter, I saw an out-of-state license plate that passed me with an abbreviation for the word "consistency," and I thought, “Are you trying to tell me something, spirit?” Laughing out loud as I plan my 2024 intentions, trying not to act like they’re goals, ha-ha, but they truly are, and if I’m being honest with myself, I’m grateful for them because life should never remain stagnant or be a repeat year of the same old, same old. I find within myself not knowing how I’m going to push myself this upcoming year—whether spiritually, mentally, or physically. It can get daunting, don’t you think?

As I reflect on the sign and the notion of consistency, I recognize the importance of incorporating this principle into the year ahead. My guides often speak in terms of small moves and baby steps, emphasizing that, regardless of how tiny, one's movement forward is progress. I believe we often place undue pressure on ourselves to achieve lofty goals within a short timeframe, when, in reality, it's about the journey, not the speed in which we get there.

So, on this lovely night of a full moon, December 26th, 2023, I’m going to work on my small yet achievable goals toward my grand wishes and desires without judgment or pressure, just pure love for the journey and excitement about any new adventures that come my way in the next 12 months ahead.

Wishing you all a most beautiful and wondrous New Year filled with small, meaningful steps toward your dreams.

12.12 | Stepping stones of self love: A Channeled Message from spirit

On this loveliest of new moons, you see the world. 

On this day, a breakthrough occurs within you. This is not to say that what has come forward is unrecognizable, but ‘familiar’ is a better word. You see the pieces within you that you have been longing to see—an awakening and beckoning for something more, not externally like a desire for things or relationships, but of oneself.

You are aware of your surroundings with a new set of eyes—eyes that gaze upon the self, nurturing a deeper love and understanding of who you are and will be. There is freshness, renewal, doves in flight, and patriarchal simplicity in viewpoint and knowledge. Do not waver in this gaze, or worry, for these are the stones that have been placed at your feet to step upon—to climb, to conquer without fear, without hesitation.

You are ready, dear love. We have been waiting for you to see what we have seen all along.

“After I channeled this message, I had to look up what 'patriarchal simplicity in viewpoint and knowledge' meant. I could come up with a few thoughts of my own, but I do love when I am presented with phrases I would never use. For me, it’s a sign that my messages are truly coming from somewhere other than my own thoughts, a beautiful addition; lovely, uplifting and wise.”

If you are wondering yourself what 'patriarchal simplicity in viewpoint and knowledge' means, it was meant to convey a straightforward, uncomplicated perspective—a clear and simple way of looking at things that may be associated with societal structures in place.
