FLAUNT MAY 03
SCHOOLDAYS

No matter what age we are, young or old, we are continually being given the opportunity to overcome our crap. If we choose to do so, that is totally up to us. We always have the freewill to stay stuck in a rut or move fast forward a head. From what I have come to understand, life, the universe, our existence are all constantly sending us situations to learn and grow from. Beautiful, wonderful, lovely (and yes, I am saying that sarcastically ) lessons. They just keep coming one right after the other. It never stops. Why even the reward for successfully passing that last lesson you just got through…is that you get to move on to a whole new lesson. Oh, goodie. If you thought you were done with school, think again because life is one long on-going special ed class, even for me.

When I started out reading for other people many moons ago, I used to get a lot of flack about my age or lack of it. People would comment on how I was too young to possibly be psychic. I thought It was rather odd that others assumed that one in their youth could not be in touch with their intuition. Even before 900 numbers and infomercials became famous, the perception of my profession was that you had to be old, ugly, adorned with a caftan, turban and a crystal ball. I hope in this lifetime I’m able to put a dent in that mold.

When one is psychic people expect you to have all the answers to everything. They don’t seem to comprehend that I am here just like everyone else with my own stuff to learn and conquer. In fact what sucks for me is that when I am being taught a lesson, I get tested ten times harder than anyone else.. Other wise how would I be able to turn around and assist you. Right? Fun for me.

We all have it. All of us are born with a natural intuition that is as much a part of us as our sense of taste or smell. It’s just that society has not given us much permission to connect with it and use it. It’s kind of like if we were raised in a world that lead us to believe that it was not kosher for us to breath through our nose. If you were continually told that breathing through your nose was a very bad thing to practice, it was dangerous, even considered sacrilegious? It wouldn't be long before you stopped breathing through your nose because you didn’t want to be considered an outcast. This pretty much is what happen along the way with humanity and our sixth sense. Somewhere eons ago in religious history some control freak person in a position of power wanted to have all the influence over others and started this ridiculous belief system. (Can you imagine this person’s karma today, scary.)

The younger we are, the less time society has had to program us with bullshit and the less crud we have to work our way through to reconnect with our own intuition. Okay good, but please don’t think that I’m implying that you should to go running to your 10 year old niece demanding to know if the person you have a crush on likes you back. What I am saying is that when we are young we are naturally more in touch with our insight. This also does not mean that if you no longer considered yourself to be young… you can’t make the connection. You just have a little bit more stuff to work though to get there. Extra fun for you.

I can only make claims for myself here and not every other Dick, Jane and Mary psychic out there.. But when I read it is a lot like going on camera. Although there are lots of actors and actresses running around acting like they are on camera when they aren’t…I am not walking around trying to psychically looking at stuff when I’m not reading. So it might come as a shock to discover I am in this way a lot like you. When I am out having a drink, I’m just having a drink. I have plenty of my own issues, energy and stuff to deal with, that the last thing I want to do when I’m not reading (working) is voyeur into your space and look at your stuff just for a little extracurricular fun.

One of the biggest tests I have is that I get bent out of shape by other people’s unawareness of how my abilities work. When someone who doesn’t know me, finds out that I am psychic and asks me stupid questions like: “What am I thinking?.. Can you guess my sign?.. How old am I?” It’s quite frustrating. I suppose some people actually assume that I enjoy being the party trick that walks around psychically turned on and tuned in 24 hours a day… already looking at everything and everyone that happens to cross my path. Not! It so doesn’t work that way. I don’t mean to sound like a bitter medium, but when some loser blurts out “Hey Psychic Girl, Can you guess my name?” I’m making nice while smiling at them outside, but on the inside I’m urging to respond: “Dude, if you need me to tell you your own name, you need much more help than me.”

If you went back to school today you’d:

Aries: get recognition for being the most creative in your class, but have to deal with jealousy from your classmates.

Taurus: are the bully of the playground, get caught passing notes in class and are sent to detention for a full week.

Gemini: have a crush on someone in class, debate back and forth about how you could change your destiny by letting them know or not.

Cancer: be playing in the sandbox, discover the kid playing next to you and invite them over after school for a play date.

Leo: be elected Prom royalty, eat, drink, dance, party the night away, and be granted a mighty hangover.

Virgo: be suspended from school for fighting, but you’d feel justified because you were defending an innocent kid from a bully.

Libra: be the sophisticated kid in class who saves up all their allowance to purchase a matching sweater, scarf and mitten set.

Scorpio: be incredibly charming for your young age as you flirted with your fellow students, teachers and even the cafeteria workers.

Sagittarius: keep looking at the clock waiting for the bell to ring, because you know there is a whole world going on outside of school.

Capricorn: go to the school dance and stand around like a wallflower until the cutie you secretly like asks you to dance.

Aquarius: be the class clown who keeps all of your classmates in stitches while you are able to deal with even the meanest teacher.

Pisces: be the brain of the class who gets straight A's, while you daydream of growing up to be a rock star.
