The Toronto Guardian Asked Me Everything. I Answered.

The Toronto Guardian did something fun. They gathered up every question their readers had ever wanted to ask a psychic and handed the whole pile to me. I loved it, because these are the real questions, the ones people are almost embarrassed to ask out loud.

Did I always know? No. Someone told me at my very first reading, and I thought she was out of her mind. Six months later I was working alongside her, and she is like a sister to me now. Do we train? We can, but mostly we are taught over time by those on the other side. I was lucky to have both, years shadowing gifted women in a little shop, and medicine people from many cultures who took me under their wing.

And the question everyone really wants answered: if there is a ghost in the hallway, should you be afraid? Almost never. Hear me on this, because it is the thing I most want you to walk away with. You are in control. You do not work for spirit, and spirit does not work for you. You work together. If a presence bothers you, you have every right to say, kindly and firmly, go on your way. Most of them are not there to frighten you. They just want what we all want, to be seen, to be remembered, to know they still matter.
