Many people often ask me, 'where did you start?' I suppose there is no easy answer to that question, I have always felt from a young age, the guidance and presence of spirit around me, but like all things that have always been with you, you dont always acknowledge this, or notice it either.
I would often get a sense for situation about to happen, or that someone within my company, I just had to 'tell them' what I was hearing feeling or seeing around them, I did not know then, being so young this was actually mediumship
Not until my teenage years, did I really even know about Mediums, Psychic ability, or Tarot card and Metaphysical issues, but always had an interest in ghost stories, the afterlife, and anything supernatural
I remember reading a book about Doris Stokes, and found that I too could relate to so much within her thoughts, and life, I began to 'read' for friends, only to become quite spooked myself when my visions, or validations actually got the reply, 'Yes, that happened' Or yes, thats my Grandmother, and yes she did do this, or was called this, or said this'
People would then ask for insight, for spirit messages, and I was always happy to obliged
I started to learn as much as I could about afterlife, connecting with spirit, and it was very much like placing that missing piece of jigsaw within my life, and I knew spiritualism would always be a big part of my life
Reading for friends, as well as always learning my spells, was just something I always did, until I then discovered the internet, which was filled with places to 'let off my psychic steam' so to speak, chat rooms, psychic groups, spirit sessions, and I joined in with these daily, I was still sometimes shocked when I connected for someone, who had lost a loved one, just how much information came through, but what still stays with me to this day, is how much it means to that person, how much I can bring back that they have lost, and although this can never replace what death takes away, for that short time, I can bring two people back together, and for me this is priceless, special beyond words, and why I do what I do
Continuing along my own journey with marriage, children and all the usual things in life, I started to form my own psychic circle, which still stands strong today, learn more about spells, the gifts of clairvoyance, and when demand became too much to perform this for free, I decided to make this my profession, and charge for my time spent, I always felt slightly uneasy about doing this, but as I wanted to carry on sharing my gifts, it enabled me to do this within my life
As well as face to face readings, I began reading over the internet, and actually found the link with spirit for some reason, stronger this way, My readings then went available on Ebay, selling for around 50p!!!
Until again demand became so high, and higher over the years, as only being so many hours the day, I had to juggle pricing with demand, which is now settled at what I and my clients feel comfortable with
I am always learning, and I am always in ore of the spirit world, which I dont think will ever end, each reading is so individual, so special, and unique, I never know what spirit want to say, or will say, and yes I get my bad days, when the odd person expects mediumship to be like a direct telephone line and ask me to bring forward everything, or everyone, but my wonderful, and I mean wonderful clients who understand and respect the spirit world, so make up for the ignorant few.
Mediumship as I always say is a two way thing, its not for me, its for you, its not about what I can do, or how I could amaze, not is it about proof, it is about being a link for those we can no longer see, hug or talk to daily, those loved ones who have shaped molded and made us who we are in life, to simply say, Im here, Im around , and you know what, your doing ok, Im still with you in life, and at the end of the day, that is a thing that is timeless, and will never end, people are born, and people die, that is the circle of life, and if I can bring comfort,belief, and reassurance to just one person, knowing they are not alone, then that makes me eternally happy.
