Being Special...

I was watching Oprah's last show the other day. A friend had recorded it for me and we were watching together. Most of her advice I had already heard or knew but one thing stood out for me. She talked of everyone needing to be heard. Of being told that their words and thoughts mattered....by somebody. I have found that to be true in my dealings with people.

Sometimes I can't get a word in edgewise at my readings. The client just needs to talk. I understand that. Sometimes the client needs me to relay to them that "yes, they are special". To validate what is happening in their lives as "different". I get a lot of those.

I remember early in my days of figuring out how to use my gifts I would go to psychics waiting to hear them acknowledge my abilities. Most of them didn't. If I don't acknowledge your gifts or haven't acknowledged yours....I am sorry and I am not perfect.

Somedays I don't feel like I do a very good job even though others tell me that I was right on. Sometimes I feel that people want or expect too much of me. If you are looking for me to tell you how to live your life...I won't. If you want me to tell you right from wrong...I won't. If you want me to hold your hand while you continue to make the same mistakes over and over again....I won't. But, I will hear you.

We all want to know that we are "special". And special we are....seeing the God in you means you should be seeing the God in me too. I urge everyone to get out of their own heads and their own ways for just a few moments and see that God is also in someone else besides yourself. Be kind to one another. Think about someone else for a change. It's not all about you or me. It's about US.

Yes..you are special. But guess what...so is everyone else....
