My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
It’s been YEARS since I’ve been to a psychic or tarot card reader.
There was a period in my life (back through the 80’s) when I went to psychics and card readers because I was exploring various esoteric things. The 80’s were a huge search decade for me. And that’s not to say I still don’t search and explore new stuff, but several of the things I use to rely upon for assistance no longer hold the same interest.
I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t want to know my future. I’d rather just be surprised.
However….
(and now I’m going to contradict myself)
Two weeks ago at work, we had a cosmetic and fragrance event in which the store hired a tarot card reader as a special gift to those customers who made a purchase within my department.
I thought that was a VERY cool and original idea on their part.
And it’s funny, the second I met the woman who did the readings, I liked her. I found out she was a Reiki practitioner, so we had something in common to talk about. But there was something else I really liked about her. She was very honest and unfluffy in her readings, sharing not only things that were pleasant, but also things that were challenges in your life. Things you needed to face and address.
She was a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn. And being someone who loves New York and its natives, I figured that was probably why I instantly felt comfortable around her.
New Yorkers are very upfront. And I respect that.
Anyway, later in day just before she left, I asked if she wouldn’t mind sharing a quick reading for me. She said, “Of course….come over to my table.”
Allow me to say, I think some psychics and tarot cards readers are full of baloney, bullshit and horsefeathers. And that you could probably get a more accurate reading by asking a Magic 8 Ball.
But, I also believe there are others who are truly gifted and very accurate.
Such as it was with this lady.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a reading more spot on than the one she gave me.
She was so accurate that she even named NAMES.
And she was fast, never hesitating to think about the cards. She just allowed herself to trust their messages.
The whole reading took less than 10 minutes, but she told me more truth in those 10 minutes than any other card reader.
When getting a tarot card reading, the person who is having the reading begins by shuffling the deck and then cuts them into three piles, choosing one of the piles to work with.
Typically, you’re suppose to ask a question before the reading, but I requested that she allow the cards to simply tell me whatever they felt like.
Here’s some of the things she conveyed to me:
Love.
She started by telling me that I am very loved. And not by anyone in particular, but rather that the people who are in my life sincerely love me. I got a little teary-eyed when she expressed that because it’s true. I DO feel loved and very blessed. I’ve got a lot of love in my life.
Also, she sees someone coming into my life in March (a relationship), which totally shocked the hell out of me because for the past few months, I can feel someone coming into my life. And she actually told me who it was, by NAME. So….we shall see! But I have to admit, it’s kind of scary because it’s been so long since I’ve had a relationship. I fear a relationship because I know how selfish I can be.
She also told me something about certain family members, which I can’t specifically say who they are because they've discovered my blog. However, what I can tell you is that she said I need to make closure with these 'certain' family members (and she knew WHO they were). She was right….I do need to make closure with them because I’ve been avoiding it out of anticipating a bitter confrontation.
She told me that I need to stop placing such high expectations on people because I get disappointed a lot. Yup…she was right. I place way too high expectations on people (AND myself) and that’s really not healthy - for them or for me.
She said I’m a neat freak and a perfectionist. HA! That’s understatement!
She also said she sees me writing, and to start journaling.
She ended the reading by throwing out the remainder of the cards, saying, “LOVE…LOVE…the cards keep telling me you’re so loved.”
To me, love comes from many places. Family, friends, intimate relationships, co-workers, and yes….even our fellow bloggers.
So, I would like to end this post by thanking each and everyone of you who shares your love and friendship with me through the energy of your words. And please know, that you are loved and greatly appreciated in return.
Wishing you a love filled weekend everyone!
