In addition to my psychic work, I teach voice and piano to children and adults. The adults are fun because most of them learn quickly and satisfaction comes from their success. Even more than adults, I like to teach children since intuitively I feel more of a connection. I love their naïve ways and their total acceptance of my foibles.
Two young neighbor children came into my basement the other day to help me tear down cardboard boxes to lay them flat. The boy wanted to know why we needed to do the job and forgot his $2 when he left. The girl and I talked about our interests and gave each other nicknames. She kept trying to give back her $2. I wanted to bribe their mom to let them stay all weekend, but she's divorced so I know her heart hurts at how little time she has with them. Her children reminded me that I must not shut down.
To be intuitive, keep an open mind and an accepting heart. Use your intuition like a key that leads you through the door to another person's life and soul. Don't close up. Don't hide. Let your heart soar.

Bad Guy or Helpful Guy?
My tarot cards had the erupting Tower in the center. I knew something would happen and that I needed to be cautious. A few miles from my home I waited for a red light next to a handsome young man in a car parallel to mine. He smiled, I checked my phone. Then he looked concerned and pointed to the back of my car. I rolled my window down just a bit.
"Your tire is flat." Odd, I thought. I just got new tires and had a warranty so I hoped I could make it a few miles to work. The man's young daughter ran around his front seat and wasn't strapped in. He noticed my lack of response.
"You are riding on the rim. You need to pull over!" he said, seemingly concerned.
My intuitive voice said "turn and get away". I turned into a residential area and stopped when I saw two dogs that would be sure to bark, but he had not followed me. I walked around the car to see....no flat tire.
I believe this was a bad guy who wanted to steal my purse, jewelry and phone. Had I rolled my window down all the way it wouldn't have taken but a second to grab my purse on the seat. Had I pulled over to look at the tire, I would have been even more vulnerable. I notified the local police and wished I had noted his license, but at that point I was too confused by conflicting information.
People are generally good, but bad guys abound. Keep your antennae up. Stay intuitive. Trust your instincts. Trusting mine saved me both money and heartache.

Fly the Nest
My youngest child finished college and a week ago he packed his car to leave for Boston and his new job. For 10 days before he left I made glorious brunches and relished our last extended time together. We shared 22 years of wonder and hard work.
As he checked his room one last time I could feel his happiness pulse. Instead of giant sobs, I wore Mardi Gras necklaces, blew New Year's noisemakers and toasted him with cacophony. My prize was a grin as wide as his face.
Today two baby birds nest on my front porch. One of their siblings flapped its wings and ended up on the grass yesterday. I see their struggles as they fly the nest and I watch their momma's gentle nudges to get them to go. As I see them change, I find peace in the acceptance that my son and I will too.
I love change but this one makes me feel as if I were riding a roller coaster...the highest tallest coaster. I could curl up and howl, but crying makes wrinkles. Instead I will celebrate this intense freedom after 30 years of parenting.
My mini words of wisdom are to pay attention to changes, try not to fight and embrace.
