A Perfect Match (The Story of Jean)


I met Jean at a small shop that she and her fiancĂ© owned.  Occasionally our paths would cross when either I or my children had appointments located in the same building.  She was always quick to say hello, and share her bright smile.  Her energy was always so positive.  She had a vibrant personality and was just plain fun to be around. 

Little by little we became better acquainted.   In the beginning, many of our conversations were surface.  But, one day when I was there by myself we talked about having lunch some time.  It just so happened on that particular day she was free and so was I.  We went to a nearby cafĂ© and sat down to grab a bite to eat.

We’d been chatting briefly and I casually introduced her to my psychic gifts.  So she was asking how it worked and if I picked up anything on her.  I told her about the feelings I was picking up on her and her present situation.  The next thing I knew – she was crying.  She said, “OMG, I haven’t told anyone about any of those feelings and here you are telling me everything that I have held in for so long.”  She told me how much of a burden her pent-up secrets were and my ability to say it for her was not only a blessing but a relief.  I saw that her relationship with her future husband left her feeling trapped and she was questioning her choices and decisions.  We talked longer than we should have but I knew immediately that we were set to be great friends.

She and I began talking much more frequently.  A short time after our conversation,she broke off her engagement.  After some time had pass I told her I was seeing a man in her life that she actually knew through her business.  I remember her saying to me, “There is no way.  I know everyone that comes in there and that’s not going to happen.”  I said, “Well, it’s true.  It’s someone you have already met through your business but it’s going to catch you off guard.”

She wasn’t buying it at all.  In fact she was pretty adamant about the fact that she didn’t see it but she did relent to the fact that I had been right about a lot of other predictions so her last comment was, “I guess, we’ll see what happens.”

Hmmm, imagine my surprise (NOT), when she told me not even two months later about this great guy she was dating that she met through the business, already knew, AND totally caught her off guard!  She went to dinner and the movies with him for the first time, as friends, and she fell madly in love with him over their first dinner, as friends, leaving her bewildered.  She said, “Kat, I had no idea that I would meet someone who treats me as well as this man.” 

So … I wasn’t one bit surprised when a year later, on the anniversary of their very first date, she announced they were engaged.

Almost a year ago, my daughters and I had the pleasure of attending their wedding.  It was beautiful!

They are so perfect for each other.  They have many of the same goals.  They bring out the best in each other and I find them laughing and smiling often.  It’s a perfect match.
