I had a lovely visit from an old friend tonight, a woman who has always felt like my personal angel.
In the course of our conversation, I told her about finding the metaphysical bookstore last week and having the conversation about doing readings there.
At which point, my friend -- who knows quite a few people who do tarot and other oracle card reading -- told me "You are the most powerful reader I've ever known."
She has affirmed my talent before, but never this strongly.
The next time I walk into that bookstore -- or any other place where I have the opportunity to present this aspect of myself -- I'm going to have a lot more confidence.
When I asked her to elaborate on why she felt that way, she said that in addition to my intuitive ability, I know the system of the cards very well. She also appreciates that I don't talk about only nice or positive things in a reading; if there's something challenging or hard, I'm honest about it. That felt good.
