MDWBA Dinner

I am JUST home from a dinner I went to with my good friend Rebecca Searles (from Carlson Wagonlit Travel in Midland) It was for the MDWBA (Midland & District Women's Business Association.) I've been wanting to get involved with the MDWBA for ages, but have felt hesitant and shy. (yes. Me. I'm shy sometimes.)

Rebecca is a member and invited me to come to the dinner as her guest. She suggested I bring some business info to hand out to the ladies tables, and also mentioned that there was an auction table that I could donate something to. She was bringing some of her travel specials offered by Carlson Wagonlit Travel Midland.

I wanted to bring a gift certificate, and wanted it to be something that would bring ladies into my art studio. (I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I have a cozy studio space downtown that I create my art in and invite clients to for readings.) I had considered bringing a sock monkey or dolls, but I ended up making a gift certificate - in much the same manner as I've made scrap book type greeting cards. Glitter pens, fancy papers, a ribbon, some star stickers, and a business card attached. I should have taken a pic of it, but I'll do that when it comes back in.

When Rebecca and I arrived at the MDWBA dinner, with trepidation did I hand over the One Tarot Reading Certificate. I half expected I'd be taking it home with me. This was a room full of business women after all! Bankers and business owners and lawyers and number counters!

It was nice to see some familiar faces that I felt comfortable talking to, and Rebecca did a wonderful job of introducing me around before the dinner started.

Then, it happened. We sat at the second table, and they passed around a Mic for everyone to introduce themselves. I figured being a guest, that I was getting out of this one.

Nope.

so, with echo-ey mic in hand, I intro myself as a lady who make dolls. Heirloom, playable and displayable. Then I made a joke that I had better just say it, because I brought a gift certificate for it, and that I'm a psychic tarot reader.

That's when things got interesting! Suddenly, I felt like the Belle of the Ball. I have a hard time approaching people "cold"... but after I let the cat out of the bag (not being sure how it would be taken) I had lots of ladies come up to me to meet me - which made it WAY easier to make connections at the MDWBA ladies!

I was so pleasantly surprized. This town is a small one, and I figured that If I had a cold reception after letting people know what I do when I'm NOT making dolls, then I just wouldn't be a part of their group. But, Rebecca and I ended up closing the place down!

I made connections with people who were INTERESTED in connecting with me and my skill. And because I was so busy talking with ladies who were interested in talking to me, I missed the opportunity to approach some business ladies that I was hoping to introduce myself to. (some ladies in the community who are artists, etc.)

And, I think my hand crafted gift certificate went for face value in the auction.

Validation. On so many levels.

Thanks MDWBA. You've just gained a new member.

On The Radio!

The "Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds" show has been FUN so far! I take questions by email for the most part for the next week, and send out a follow up reminder before the show.

This is definately something that I could use a co-host for, though, or someone to mind the chat room. I take my glasses off when I'm reading, so it makes it a little difficult to follow along with what is happening in the chat room at the same time. I'll have to sit the 'notebook' a little closer to my face tomorrow.

During Tomorrows I want to talk about something REALLY interesting that happened this week! I hope you'll be there to cheer me on and listen in :)

Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds

And, as always, after the show I'll be doing calls through my phone system. You can get in line for your own private reading by clicking through the link and making an appointment for after 2:35pm, or just getting in the cue to speak with me.

I'm really looking forward to the show tomorrow, and connecting with you!

Blessings,

Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds

Spent some time messing around with the Blog Talk Radio. Oh la la. I'm excited about this thing. I don't have it set up to take live callers yet, and I don't run it with a co-host - It's all me! So, you'll all need a little patience while I iron out the kinks.

For the most part, I'm planning that each show will have a little time to chat, and a little time to do a few readings - what I'm aiming for is these readings will come in through email. And, bear in mind, that the show is only going to be about half an hour long at first - so I'm figuring I'll get at most 3 questions in.

I'm also wanting the querent of those questions to be on the chat at the time of the show - (there's an instant messaging type chat on the page when the show is live. So much fun!)

I'm going to be putting together a bit of music (local artists) to transition us in and out of segments (again, doing this on my own, with only my big brain and hopefully my Guides will rush in with important knowledge about this stuff!)

Once I get the platform down, I'll move into taking live callers, etc. My goal here is to really keep it as simple as possible, connect with those of you who are ready and willing, and have some fun!

Put it in your daybook: Sundays at 2pm: Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds . The shows do archive, and that archive will list on my Lori-Grace Reads Tarot blog.

Blessings!

Palm Reading

So often when people find out I'm a psychic reader, they immediately show me their palms, and ask me if I can read them. Palm reading is an intense and precise art!

I have books on palm reading, and I find it so intriguing. I've had a palm reading, some 10 years ago or so, and the reader relayed many things I already knew (and that she couldn't have known!) and so I was impressed. After my reading, she said it would be at least 5 years before she could do a palm reading again, as it would take at least that long for the lines to change. Otherwise, her palm reading would be the same!

Getting a palm reading is great to see long term where you're going, in a broad way. If you are looking for more precise 'now' information or guidance, I CAN help you with that! Using spirit guides, ancestor messages, and tarot cards I can get down to specifics in your life, and answer the questions you were hoping that a palm reading would do for you.

Blessings to you!

Psychic Reader Party

There are two different ways I find that tarot parties go, as a Penetanguishene Psychic Reader

The first is where the party carries on in a separate room from the readings. This type of party is good for the individual querent if they don't really know some of the people attending. It allows them to be open and honest, and recieve the messages without hesitation or possible embarrasment. Because, as I've said before, I never know what is going to come out when I begin. If the questioner isn't comfortable with admitting things in a group of people, then they will deny messages that can come out of a personal nature. This makes it VERY hard for me to deliver the messages given.

The other sort of party I've done is where everyone in the room knows each other well. Secrets, history, all the good stuff! I love doing this sort of party, too. What happens, more often than not, is if the questioner is unsure of what I might be trying to relate, there's SURE to be someone else in the room who knows EXACTLY what I'm referring to.

Both types of parties have their benefits, but with both types I always come away feeling really pleased with having been invited (often again and again by the same groups, year after year.) and having delivered important messages at important times.

The differences have been on my mind this week, as I did a lovely party this past weekend.

Being invited to read for a party never feels like "work" to me. I'm always quite honoured to be invited to read at a Psychic Reader Party and connect with the group.
