Two friends recently split and it played out in flying colors in front of friends and family for a year. Each has their own version of what happened. Both admit feeling unheard, misunderstood and disrepected. Domino said “I have written to him what I thought was compassionate and real, it was met with blame and accusations.” But she seeks closure. For me, when I need to be heard, I need to write things out to a partner so I can have my complete say. I like to ask them to do the same, but not everyone can or will explain and express their emotions in writing.  I suggested she write the letter to me and that way the work would still be done.  The “work” of working a situation out energetically, such as in reflection, prayer and Hawaiian Forgiveness Ho’oponopono Process  My experience is that if work is being done by even one, tension between them will begin to soften. One or both parties “working” on it energetically, by reflecting on their part and taking responsibility, by seeking forgiveness and amicable closure, will change the energy the other receives from them and reacts to.  This doesn’t mean they will speak or write in the physical, but just to energetically change the feeling within your heart. Doing the energetic work not only frees the one doing the work, it frees everyone involved.  No one can weave with you a bond of discord if you contribute no strands to the weaving.   Here is the letter she wrote me.  It was so Universal that I asked to share it here with you.

Facebook friend Charlie asked: “Andrea, how and when did you discover your intuitive gifts? Was there a defining moment in time?”  I responded, “Hmmm in a word, no. More like I walked a long way in the fog and it’s only when I got home that I realized I was soaking wet. It’s a gradual and ongoing process. I guess a defining moment was when my mom suggested I contact the Psychic Friends Network to do readings as a form of service. I was like, really mom? wtf? She was right. It was a most holy several years working the line. I did it from 1992-1996, sometimes 40-60 readings a day. I wrote about it here Celebrity Clients; Psychic Friends Network

Taking a leap

I contracted a cool new project today with a favorite editor. It was attracted in no small part by recent discussions on the topic with a friend. I love how that works: that I attract what I focus on, even during play time and casual conversation. I wrote earlier that a friend asked about writing and editing, pricing and how to get jobs. Like so much of my life, it wasn’t planned, it was just some fun something that morphed into an income stream without my having ever set it as a goal. Which is pretty funny when I think about it, since I always have ongoing lists of goals to be accomplished.  Half of them get done, the others lose priority as something even better than I could have planned emerges fully formed into my life, like Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, emerging fully formed from the head of Zeus.  If I was to follow my own advice, I’d identify and develop as many skills as I was excited about and I’d nurture an intense desire to connect with those who were attracted to what I had to offer.  And then I’d begin to dance with whatever the Universe threw at me.  I’d remember that my job is to stay happy and continually draw pleasure from whatever experience I encounter. And it’s always good to remember how to attract dollars no matter what the state of the economy.   Continue reading →

Casper writes: I have a question. I have an opportunity to ghostwrite.   You have done some ghostwriting. I’ve gotten an interesting range of pricing looking at sites and reading articles on the Internet. What do you charge and how do you do your pricing? I’m trying to be prepared.
Andrea replies:  Greetings!  I ghost for a few friends since 1992. Mine is without royalities or credit, with non-disclosure agreement signed, etc. I lucked into doing it via publishing connections, so I’ve never had to query. The pricing is kinda wacky, sometimes a set price for the project at this point.  Most of the “work” I’ve done has come out of writer friends and I emailing back and forth just ideas or sometimes readings on personal matters.

A friend asked if it irked me that someone new in town began a blog because I have a blog, and began doing psychic readings and astrology because I do it.  I told her if she thinks it was done because of me, then I feel grateful and honored to have inspired someone. There’s no reason for it to irk me. There’s plenty to go around and there’s no competition. No one does exactly what I do just as I don’t do exactly what anyone else does.  I don’t compare apples and oranges. She’ll attract the ones she’s in vibrational harmony with and I’ll do the same.  Back in the psychic fair days of the 90’s, I’d do readings at big hotels on the beach and there’d be up to 8 readers.  Lots of walk-in traffic since we were on the billboard on AIA during a holiday weekend. With 200 people coming in for readings, you’d think each reader would get 25 clients but not so.  Some had a line waiting for hours and others did maybe 10 readings the entire weekend.  We each attract what we are in vibrational harmony with, despite mathematical expectation. I’m never in competition with anyone for anything, anywhere. Continue reading →

Here’s my cushy Moonbeam Pink Sun Retro bicycle with her newly inflated tires, 40psi please. With her new front light – she’s legal!  I pulled her out of the shed where she’s been for a couple of years, and I polished her up.  She has 2 baskets and she’s ready to cruise.  Saturday night I missed kirtan to stay in the office to finish final layout on the October Horizons Magazine.  I got my chant on while I worked. Afterward, I took a ride around the neighborhood on the bike.  Earlier in the afternoon, I bought an Oster convection oven which can roast lots of veggies at once, an entire eggplant along with peppers, onions and squash.  I tried it out last night.

If anyone claims to have a bunch of crazy exes, ask yourself what the common denominator is.  Be informed, especially if you have children. Ask yourself, “How does someone get to a place where they have zero friends but me, whom they’ve just met?”

A galpal asks how do you trust the love words of the new one when the “love” words of the last one are still stinging? How do you believe anything they say? My answer:  Don’t compare, period. There are 0nly so many combinations of words. Trust that words said in the moment are true for the moment.  I was once hurt by someone’s false words and it made me take with a grain of salt the next time I heard loving words. I let my past experience diminish the vastness of my partner’s disclosure in the Now.  It revealed to me that I was viewing him through a filter of every partner who came before him.  It was only when I witnessed consistent behavior for months that I began to relax into a place of trust. For me now, what I would do is trust from the first moment and see where it takes you. Communicate what you feel.  Be yourself. Don’t hold back.  Attract the same out of him. You will either mesh or you won’t, but there will be no surprises. See each person each day with new eyes, with no comparison. Act and respond as if every word spoken is the truth of the moment.  It’s the only way you have a chance.
