As the Table Tips
11:34am

Sometimes, okay maybe a lot of times, owning a business in this field is a little like being in a soap opera. There are tragedies to be healed, inner battles to be won, ethics and legalities to be questioned, boundaries to be set, love to be given, and happy endings to be found. This last week has been a very busy one for me with all of the séances and Halloween events. I have asked to step forward in my personal growth and am reaping the rewards for my intent. Some would say that it is wrong for me to talk about being rewarded. I disagree. I think it is important to acknowledge Spirit when new energies coalesce into what we have set out to manifest. I did table tipping 3-times this last week. I have been working on my light trance channeling and I feel good about my progress. It has been almost 3-years since I have worked on my personal Spiritual growth instead of only for others and the store. I am feeling good. I am growing in a positive way. I believe that this is the time for me to have a growth spurt so when my husband, Tony, goes in for his knee replacement surgery on the other knee in January, I have new energy to work with for his healing and the strength of the family and the store.

In the last 2-months I have had 2 mediums return to the store, Annie and Felice, and 2 wonderful Angel Therapy Practitioners® move forward on their path apart from the store. So my joy is dampened by my feeling of loss; and my feeling of loss is uplifted by my joy. I have never seen so much change and growth as I have in this business. I do think it is ironic that Phoebe had scheduled 2 other classes when she was a Mystic here and had to cancel them due to low enrollment. Now that she is no longer reading here, her class is full. But she needs to listen to her heart and her Angels and Spirit as they guide her as does Allison. They are both still dear to me and I wish them joy and prosperity and hope someday we can work together again.

There is a joke that Annie started about 5-months ago that trying to schedule psychics is like herding cats. They each listen to Spirit and go where they are led, not necessarily where they thought they would go or where I thought they would head. This came about when I was doing a calendar that has to be set up 6-weeks in advanced for marketing purposes and at the last minute, literally just before I hit “print,” two Mystics had to change their scheduled classes. Now the joke is that before changing set schedules, the Mystics have to say, “Meow.” As growth is constantly happening for me it is also that way with them as they are constantly taking classes to improve their skills as new thoughts and new techniques are available to them.

So how does one deal with constant change? I know that some days it is easier for me to go it than others. I feel bad when you the client calls for their favorite reader or signs up for a class to find that change has happened. The constant updating of bios to better describe what the readers are focusing on now and reflect their continued education can sometimes be unnerving. But I know that change is good. I know that being stagnant kills creativity and prosperity. I know that forward motion and being in that state of pushing what is comfortable is how growth happens. I feel 10-feet tall with all the growth and change that has happened over the last 2 ½ years. But things are so good because of the change.

I was sad when Corrine, who used to help up front once in awhile and was a good friend and client, moved back to Canada in the beginning of the year. Today, I received a call from a friend of hers who needed aid in the form of a reading. It fills my heart with pride that I am getting out of the country referrals because she knows that even with change I only hire those that I feel qualified to call one of my Mystics. The community continues to grow and I am awed by how Spirit works.
