Psychic Advice

I wish you all a good Holiday and hope you all have a Happy, Prosperous and Healthy 2008. 

2007 has been a very difficult for many and I can only hope that 2008, a “One” Universal Year brings new beginnings and changes that sends this world in a new and better direction.

 I will be back at my post taking your calls on Friday, January 4th 2008.

Thirty years of doing readings have enabled me to observe many repetitive patterns in life.  A couple of these have to do with the effects of the Holiday Season on relatively new romantic relationships.  If it’s your first Holiday Season with your honey, keep in mind his/her feelings about this time of year may be very different from yours.  Very often one person loves the Season feeling all warm and fuzzy about it.  The other, due to past experiences and/or upbringing and family dynamics in childhood, has negative feelings about it.  This could be depression, a desire to ignore the whole thing or even some hostility and anger.  Getting through your first Holiday Season together may require a lot of understanding, communication and compromises.

 I also recommend my single clients be very cautious about entering into any new romances at this time of year.  Many people feel particularly lonely and want someone to spend the Holidays with.  In short, many people enter new relationships for all the wrong reasons.  Every year many clients ask about new relationships they’re entering in November and December.  Around late January and February, they’re asking me about major difficulties in this same relationship or about the break-up and why it happened.

There is a country song I hear often on my car radio called “Don’t Blink”.  Part of it goes like this:  “You’re six years old and you take a nap, you wake up and you’re twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife…”.  I feel like I blinked last Christmas and it’s this Christmas.  The older you get and the faster time goes, hence…”Don’t Blink”.

I see Thanksgiving as the one day a year that reminds me to stop, count my blessings, and be thankful for each one.  Christmas, besides being a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, is a time to be with loved ones and being grateful you have them.  I see New Year’s Eve as a time of evaluation to see what I did right, as well as what I should have done differently, during the past year.  I then don’t so much make resolutions as set a new direction towards the next level. 

 This time of year is a particularly difficult one for a lot of people.  Those who are alone, those whose finances don’t allow any celebration, those who lost loved ones in the past year.  This year, many are losing their homes.   Remember that charity is not just about giving toys to toy drives, food to the food drives, etc.  It’s about taking the time to give a kind word, to listen to someone who is lonely and has no-one to talk to, to invite a neighbor who has no family to share a meal or some egg nog.  Most everyone thinks of needy children.  Remember the seniors too, they’re our forgotten people and many are alone, lonely and have little, or no, allowance in their budgets for celebrating anything.  

My little town does a toy drive every year.  This year we’re also doing a fund raiser for our seniors.  The money will go to gift certificates for the local supermarket, the pet supply store, cab rides, etc.  These cerficates will be given in Christmas cards to those local seniors who have little, if any, discretionary income left after their bills are paid.  This event was my idea, and I am very pleased I shared it with people who could make it happen. 

Look around, someone nearby has nowhere to go this Holiday Season, include them in your own celebration…it could mean more than any amount of money you could give.
