Just because someone does something nice or does the right thing, doesn’t necessarily make it a good thing or make the outcome pleasant or appropriate. On the surface things can seem one way, but the meaning underneath can be something completely different. Take court testimony. If you read a transcript, you get the facts, the…
When a new client books a reading with me, I send them a note confirming their phone number and asking what questions they have for the reading. In the note I point out that this is to help me prep their soul book and any other documents we might need. Which is intentionally vague because…
One of the things that I find magical about reading people’s soul books in the Akashics is the notes that we leave for ourselves about this lifetime. It can clarify soooo many things that are going on for us in this time. Most people look at it as a means to find out where they…
