On a different story

I started to write about my life as a pyschic as it started out with my first show. If I decide to actually write it up, I'm thinking of not bothering to do it as a book but to post it to my blog. I think it is good to see how we start and how we progress as psychics and such. Also I think it will show how wide my eyes were towards metaphysical when I started and how they have become more focused through out the years. Of course, I will change the names to protect those I've met over the years.

A joke to lighten the mood

So let's see if I can write and joke at the same time!

So awhile back there was a huge amount of talk about putting in Breathalyzers for alcoholics! So to start the car, you have to be below alcoholic limits set by the feds or state. Maybe your state even finally did it! WHOA!

But seriously who comes up with this stuff?!

I think it had to be a FEMALE, No way was it a guy! I mean, as women we are use to blowing on it to get it going! But unless you are male and gay, I'm not thinking shoving a thing in your mouth to get the motor going is how you want to start anything let alone your car!

Heheehee LOL

Well, hope you like the joke! And yes, I came up with it all on me little own! I know too much time on my hands kinda thing!

Uplifting

With all the bad news in the press today, I thought I would blog my up lifting news.

Yesterday there was one of the biggest gatherings of fans around the world, it was so big not even the fans themselves couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the number. Over 23,000 fans gathered in hopes of receiving something FREE! While waiting to find out, they chatted and shared information about other free events.
Laughs could be heard through out the land as a group of female Possum Lodge members called their meeting and told the crowd Red Green's wife was unable to join them due to her fixing yet another problem Red had created by his own manhood.
One could hear the impatience in the voices as the minutes grew to hours and still no word from Nivea if the wait would be worth it. Though there were just as many who tried every zen, Buddhist and DOA thing they knew to calm the crowd.
Paid people were even seen pushing the products of their employer and with not so happy results. A few were booted and caused many to go into hiding.
All in all, the day went without much happening and the crowd stayed as calm as it could with the few shouts of 'Hurry it up'. And still it was one of the largest gatherings of our day!
Nivea finally came on and told the crowd the news it had waited for all day. COUPONS! and about as quickly as it had happened, it ended. The long wait over, the disappointed many and the thought of free things else where driving the crowd's direction.
Yes the Largest event was over and yes it really did happen! We do however need to thank the place it was held at, FACEBOOK! So thank you Internet, thank you Facebook and thank you fans of the FREE, for coming together and creating one of the weirdest things ever. Over 23,000 people clicked the Like Button and some waited over 5 hours for Coupons!

2012 and herbs

Two Ideas.

One the world blows up.

Two the world find peace.

Mine, I think anytime there are questions to the unknown, it is hard to not want answers. Try to not jump into any weird ideas of what might happen, try to find your own power to conquer any fears you might have and try to be ready no matter what happens.

You don't buy insurance because you think your house will catch on fire, you buy it because it might.

Be ready because it might go wrong, not because it will. And no that doesn't mean run out and get a bomb shelter, guns and to freak out. It means have some can goods, a plan and some water in case you need it which is never a bad thing to have on hand.

If it goes the peace route, you can probably wait and learn what to do as it happens. You can let yourself be part of it as the event unfolds in front of your eyes. To be in the moment.

HERBS

Now there are some herbs you might want on hand too. Most people run to stores when thinking of making a plan or making a survival kit for a few days or week. Having herbs to help is a great way to save if you happen to grow them and is usually healthier for you.

A great thing for skin pain such as bug bites is Camphor from Camphor Trees but be careful they now get this one to save the trees from turpentine oil.

And can't forget your Coconut Oil if you have kids since it treats head lice. Seems there is a spray which combines this oil with two other ones, both natural, and it works as well as the harmful spray now being used by thousands of parents.

And make sure you grab your B1, this is thiamine. So it works for lots of things going on in your brain because its great on our nerves! You want to feel better start taking this and see how it goes.

You can always pack a multivitamin too. These are great for the over all round effect without having to pack a hundred bottles and is great is you have to save on space.

p.s. this is for a female I was talking to over the weekend. She was talking to me about Tarot Cards and trying to remember the meanings of them. this is a great website i use for the minor ones, www.tarotteachings.com Look to the right side and click the link for minor arcana. I don't use this site for the major ones because it doesn't go in depth enough for me. Also realize there is a huge amount of info on these pages so you have to start using your gut to trust which meanings you will use for your cards. Take a piece of paper and write the name of the card you are working on and dot some notes next to it. Don't make it too long. If its too long, it will be too hard to remember it in a reading. I try to remember the short notes and then work off whatever my guides are telling me to say to the person getting the reading. Hope that helps.

Great Time, Summer Spirit Fest, Soul Groups and doing it right!

The Fair on Saturday was great and a wonderful time had by everyone who showed up. I met some very nice people and had some really fun laughs with new friends. Hoping we have another one soon and would recommend to everyone interested in mini-classes to make sure Celtic Moon knows which ones you want. Its always a good thing to learn but only if we are learning what we need to and want to!

Summer Spirit Fest
Is a camping weekend held July 16-18, 2010 and is $25 for the weekend. *note if you are a vendor, it is free with admission* It usually fills up fast so get your reserved camping site and spot for vending fast. http://www.summerspiritfest.com/ This event use to be called Summit.

Soul Groups
If anyone has noticed we are now entering our new groups. So pay attention to those you are meeting which are becoming fast friends and you are now starting to hang out with. This is important because it will be these friends helping you and you helping them over the next couple years. If you have some stay put friends and I do, don't' worry most of them are not going any where.

Also this is a time where everything going on for the last two-four years finishes up and new things start. So if you were having money problems in 2006 and those came to a head in 2008, you should start to see it change around this year or next. So be careful if you are starting and hadn't seen money problems now, could mean in 4 years it will be worse and if you don't jump on it, you might find it hard to control by then. Also look for friends, love and things happening in the same way. If anything is starting you don't like, try to see if you can change it or avoid it so you won't deal with it in the years to come. If you find you can't do anything about it, realize it may be a life lesson *which I'll go over tomorrow* and you will have to cycle it out.
This is called a 6 year cycle of events. I don't know if anyone writes much about it but it goes like this. First two years are when the old cycle finishes and a new one starts, second two years you develop it and start to see it hit the highest peak it can go, the last two years are it finishes up with a slight view of what is coming up. So 5 and 6 year anniversary tend to be break or make moments but look to the year 4 to be its worst or best. I'll see if I can find some webpages which cover this in more detail but like I said I'm not sure anyone does.

Do it Right!
I found myself really chatting about this at the fair so I wanted to share it with everyone else. If you find something in life you want to do like tarot cards, readings, OBE or anything out there, this is my advice to you.
You have to make it your own and not let it make you its own.
You are different and everyone is so no layout works for every tarot card reader, no OBE is ever the same for every person and nothing is set in stone on how you might do it yourself. You have the right to change it and make it fit you! When you do this, you let it be personal and true to your soul. Take the advice of whatever study you are doing and use that as guidelines. But don't let the guidelines rule so much you get lost and become second to the topic of study. If it isn't yours than its someone elses and you won't feel it works.
So Never let you fit it but Always let it fit you!

it was 5am somewhere!

Or at least it was here when I woke up this morning! Bright and early! Well if I wasn't so excited about my show, I think I'd be excited about the new SHREK movie. Anyone else think that FAT cat is the bomb!!! I died when I saw it the first time and the sad part, I can't get enough. Every time the trailer comes on and the fat thing is there, I laugh my butt off. Maybe its because I got use to him being a lady's man or its Antonio Banderas and all I can think of is his imagine chunky style! LOL ahhhh good times, good times *wipes the tears from my eyes*

Really I just wanted to just jump on here this morning and say hello. Hope to see everyone soon at the show and for those who are not getting to go, hopefully I will see you soon. You will all be in my thoughts all day. You all have brought me to this point with every advice, class or support as friends. So thank you! I truly would not be who I am without everyone of you! Ahhh... I feel like an Oscar speech coming on so I'll stop here.

Have a great day and try to stay warm!

excite, nervous and what is up with the NFL these days!?

First my Mind, Body and Spirit event is tomorrow! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I have to take my table and chairs over to Celtic Moon for the set up and tomorrow morning finish my set up with all my other stuff. As long as I sleep tonight, it should go really well. I'm a little worried about turn out and am trying to manifest a big turn out with lots of people sitting at my table!

Two stories about the NFL which made me sick this week

First one
a group of students became fans of the NFL for a thing the NFL put on. They had the most support of all the kids at the school and won the contest. They should have gotten actual NFL players standing at the school but did they? NOPE. They got an intern and some videos to watch. What gives? Half the school was doing the contest and trying their best to show support for the money making machine called the NFL. They did their best and they are KIDS. Dam* you NFL for doing this and making it so every Adult almost hates you. And I love FOOTBALL!

Second one
NFL player yet again does something stupid. Are they trying to kill my sport? Are they trying to wreck the one thing every year we can follow in the fall and winter that isn't hockey?
So he might not have raped her because she was a prostitute. Was she being forced into this life? Was she doing this against her will? And can this set up more cases where the female is forced into sex by pips and the police now finally see this as rape?
But did he rape her?
Yes, she was underage and that is all I think matters. She was 16. Not 18, Not 21 but 16. So that makes it rape. It doesn't matter if she was forced into sex, willing had sex or anything else. IF it does matter, how many child molesters will get out of jail because they will say she was willing?! No he has to go to jail and it has to be rape.

So now I'm sitting here today, hoping I don't see some other story online somewhere which makes the NFL look like total bimbos on drugs. Wish me luck.

Are posts mean or nice?

Ever been on a message board, someone posts a comment and you lay into them thinking 'how horrible for them to say such things!'. Later you find out they didn't mean it that way and a couple people are now mad at you for posting back in anger.
Hmmm..
Yep, been there! Yesterday a post was put on a board which could be taken either way. Comment used a catch phrase most people use who are against the topic and later he praised people which sounded false.
Of course you could have taken the first part as nothing and really believed he was true about his praise at the end. And thought this was an awesome post.
I responded with a tag line 'that I'm not sure how you meant this post' so that I wouldn't come off too mean or supportive. Played middle road and in this case felt it was best.
It was just very interesting to see the posts of the other members. One was very mean and jumped at the guy while others were supportive and thought it was a great post.
It reminded me that we read posts and comments by how we feel or how we see our worlds. If we got a raise today, we probably will see the good in others and want others to feel good with us. If we just broke up, we probably want the world to 'suck an egg' and could care less about what this guy or any other one thinks.
So the next time you read something good or bad, take a moment, relax and change how you feel. Become angry and read it. How does it read? Is it being mean? Does this post pull out all the wrong in life? Now relax and feel a good thought. Really become happy and re read the post. Is it wonderful? Does the post sound happy and fun?
You won't be able to do every post this way. Some are mainly horrible and some are really happy go lucky ones. Still there are the ones which border in between good and bad. Those you will find this works really well with. You will learn how your own moods and thoughts become the world around you. And how important it is too be careful before posting, commenting or saying things.

The things I do

So I've been looking for psychic fairs throughout the state. I've found several. One put me on their waiting list, one is going to let me know the details for an upcoming fair and One I'm not sure was for me. If anyone out there as a psychic ever thought putting your webpage up and hanging out or even putting ads up would be enough, you probably are finding out that isn't the case. Most psychic fairs are full because they are small and the same people do them which is great unless your trying to break in to the majority of the fairs around the state. So getting new biz is hard and getting into smaller more often fairs can be harder. Not to say you can't find some bigger shows, they are out there and I will probably pay up for them in the next couple of weeks. It's just a lot of work and unless you are like me and love this job because you love people, its hard to keep up.

On another note,
Remember as you get your information in, don't add things to it and just say what it is in your mind. Normal advice any psychic out there would tell you and I agree with it. But every so often you do a reading or are just chatting away and you do this. You say what it is that comes to your mind.
Like Apple. Only the person was having an orange for lunch. Now you didn't get told before hand they were eating any fruit or anything. So in my eyes, this counts as right. Mainly because fruit is a fruit even if you didn't get the right one.
Or maybe you were doing a reading and said over the phone, its windy where you are at. The person comes back and says no. At first you think you are way off and somehow picked up something wrong but later you find out this person is sitting right in front of a fan. Their hair is even blowing because of the wind the fan is creating. So in my eyes here, you were right again.
Or maybe you said a city but you didn't get the right one. Only the city you said was close in size, crime and makes you think of the same thoughts as the other one. Well, your right again.
You can only hope the person getting the reading realizes how hard information is to interpret and you have been told not to add anything to the information you are getting in.
My advice if this starts to happen to you, is to use the tag line everyone I know uses.

I'm getting "...." but that might mean its like this or is this.

and then wait to see what they say back.

That way when you say apple and they say orange. You will get them to understand you were right. We are not using this for cold reading but to make it easier on people who may not understand how the information comes in to us. and you won't have to explain it to them.

Hope that helps anyone else who is getting similar items for the correct ones. I know for me this helped a ton and made me understand why so many psychics say it this way. Its not because we are wrong, its just we tend to see fruit as any fruit and wind from any source blowing your hair as windy.

Wishing Sammy all the best!

This post is for a good friend named Sammy! I went to some of her websites and found she has entered a new journey so this are my words for her!

She walked in a path next to mine once trying her best to help those around her. I shared laughs and smiles as I tried to help her forward and help her jump out of the huge shell she had created around her. I watched as she wrote and continued walking. I even watched from the side lines as she did her first readings and continued to help those in need. I now watch as she takes time to find what she truly loves and wishes for her life to be. I know more than ever she will do great things and still help all she touches. I wish her all the best and hope she understands, I never thought and still don't that she didn't help anyone she talked to. Maybe their path needed her words or needed her to get them somewhere else other than where their were, who knows. The universe is a big place with many unanswered riddles as I'm sure, for her, this one will be for years to come. I am glad and excited to watch her look at herself with new eyes and hope more than ever her writing will take her to new heights! Her one passion she never seems to lose. Even though it is a different kind of world writing, it is the hero who rarely hears how they got to be there for those in need. I'm sure Sammy will always fly and I will always watch from whatever sideline I can. YOU GO GIRL!

Your Friend,
Terra

Just Realizing

Sometimes I'm glad and happy for those who are out there who make us think and who make me think. Thank you for making me think today!

My last post was about me thinking and me ranting as usual when I get pushed on a subject I can't get around. I couldn't understand and so figured how or why would it be different for everyone else.

Well, after some time to think, I realize our guides do whatever is easy and best for us so if lying would be best for you, yeah I guess they might. Mine don't and my inside gut which I trust more than life, tells me that my guides will never have to lie to me. I listen and go where I need to but once long ago when I was young, that might not have been the case and lying to me might have been an option. Since I didn't listen back then and didn't want to, I can't say if they did or didn't.

I hope everyone can find a way to work with their guides in the best way possible without them or you lying to each other but I now know it is your relationship with your guides and not mine.

Sorry if I ranted a bit overboard. Hopefully everyone knows our road to understand is filled with not wanting to change and sometimes its hard to see others have or need things a different way. Though I'm sure I have more to learn on understanding others so please be patient with me should I get on a rant and rave again.

Your Psychic Friend,
Terra Graves

Our Guides!

I was at a site and chatting with some nice people when a guy came in and said his guides have lied to him before. He wanted me to be careful because I might find they were lying to me. Of course he believed this was to help me and to get me to learn that all information is to be verified. I'm not buying this at all.
First my guides are what have gotten me where I am in life and have always helped me in every way. They have never lied because guides are not held to our own way of thinking. And I DO NOT believe for a second they would lie for me to learn.
They however would direct me to someone who would lie or to a situation which may cause me to make sure the information is correct. They themselves though would not and have not lied to me.
Do your guides lie to you?
I realize some information coming in may not be easy to understand and sometimes I've been lost at what they want me to know but never been lied to by my guides.
I believe all guides are our friends, family and loved ones from this life or past ones who want to help us and have no reason to lie to us in any way. They want us to follow the easiest path there is and they know what that is even if we do not.
It is and I totally believe this without doubt, it is only when we are stubborn or not listening that our lives go badly. When we listen, life is smooth and filled with wonderful moments.
Yes, our guides want us to learn but not at the expense of losing faith in them or in the other side.
NOW when your guide has you go somewhere and something bad happens like boyfriends, car problems and such, it is so you land where you need to be. They wouldn't lie but they would have you go to a park to walk and let's say that makes you late and you find out a year later, you being late lost you the chance at a job. But if you hadn't lost the chance, you wouldn't have the perfect job you have now. NO lying just paths they put you on. It might I guess feel like they lied at the time but I really believe they can't lie to us.
I hope one day this person can tap into the other side without doubt and can trust those who are there to help him. May peace and light follow him until then.

Terra Graves

Getting ready!

Only one week away and I'll be doing the show at Celtic Moon! I'm excited and I really believe it will be a blast. There are belly dancers, vendors, music, readers and much much more! I can't wait!

Side notes--
I did my flower bed today and bought more flowers for my big flower pot I got today. I will have to take a picture soon and try to add it on here!

I updated the survey with only one question so it would be easier to fill out. Next month though I might try to find an app or something else because surveys are not that much fun.

I decided to add the fact at shows/events/fairs I do a 5 CARD STANDARD Layout but I do not do them by appointment. Also I do by appointment ONLY a 12 MONTH LAYOUT in case anyone is interested in getting one.

Now I'm going to go take a nap! I'm tired, its hot and I did a lot today! :)
