Many people have asked me over the last several years how or when I realized there was something psychic going on in my life....
Through the days, weeks and months (perhaps years) ahead, I will share posts that will explain some of my life experiences about how I got to where I am today and more. Enjoy!
I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have vague memories of the first house I lived in with my Parent's and two older Brothers. I remember while living in this house saying to myself, "I wish I was psychic." (I was under 6 years of age when I said this. Is it normal for a child six or under to even want something like this? Even that didn't seem odd to me.)
Now, I'll say somewhat lightheartedly, "be careful what you wish for." Obviously, I love this gift and work very hard to stay true to myself and Spirit in using these gifts.
Almost as fast as I said it I also thought to myself, "Well maybe I don't want to be psychic. What if I see things I don't want to see? What if it scares me?"
It is true that Psychic abilities are very real. For me this isn't something I can turn on or off. It's working 24/7 and at times it makes it very hard for me to sleep. Am I always right? No. Do I always receive an answer? No. Sometimes we are not supposed to know. When I don't feel something I will be honest and say so. It behooves no one for me to make up a story if I am not receiving an answer.
Is there such a thing as "The Six Sense" -- Yes, having psychic abilities is a sense just like the other senses and we are constantly using it.
I will tell anyone that it's important to trust your gut -- trust your instincts and pay close attention to red flags. When something doesn't feel right about a situation it's because you feel or sense in your gut that something doesn't seem up to snuff. Listen to those gut feelings and learn to trust them.
As a young child and growing up I would get visuals or hear answers in my mind and I'll be honest, I thought that was how it worked for everyone. It didn't occur to me that there was anything psychic going on. Sometimes I listened to those thoughts and feelings and other times I did not. I wasn't at a place where I completely put my trust in Spirit.
I don't and won't claim to know everything because I can't and it wouldn't be appropriate. I am happy with the knowledge I do have but I am always hungry to learn more.
A little more about me and my life experiences along the way . . .
In 1979, I found myself sharing my first apartment with my friend, HJ. She and I had such a great time during those 7 months. As our lease ended HJ found out she was expecting. What is the point of telling you this story?
Move forward 11 years to 1990 and once again I was sharing a home with HJ. She was going through a divorce and I needed a place to live. By now she had four children. I had been briefly married and was trying to figure out where I was going in life. I remember when I was first moving in with her that I made a comment, "Watch, I'll be the one to get pregnant this time and my luck, I'll probably have twins." We laughed and didn't give it much thought -- words in passing (or so I thought).
Fast forward again -- it was February 1991 and I realized I was late (yes, that's what I'm talking about). I took a home pregnancy test and it turned pink in less than a minute flat. What's interesting about this is that I was told when I was married that I would probably never have children. I was given less than a 30% chance of ever getting pregnant. My cycles had always been off the charts -- some months being very short and others being very long.
OK, so first Doctor's visit and he tells me I am measuring a bit big for how far along I am and asks me if am I sure about when I got pregnant to which I answered, Yes. I get to my next months Doctor's visit and once again he tells me the same thing.
The following month I decided to bring my niece along so she could hear the baby's heartbeat and once again when I arrived the Doctor questioned how far along I was. He then said, "OK, let's get an ultrasound scheduled and see what's going on here." He wanted me to come back on another day but I asked to have it done that day so I didn't have to miss more work. I was single and couldn't afford being gone from work all the time. They were able to fit me in and within the hour (with my niece by my side), I hear the ultra sound tech say, "No wonder you are measuring so big. You're having twins." I left the Doctor's office with 4 pictures that day -- 2 each of Twin A and Twin B. We went right from the Doctor's office to share the news with my family and friends.
Today's news -- my beautiful twin daughters will be 21 this month. I couldn't be more proud of them. They are juniors in college. They know what they want and where they are going in life. I "AM" blessed.
OK, enough for today -- more stories AND more adventures ... coming soon.
