Don't Be Fooled
The truth about psychics and predictions
When I picked up my daughter from school yesterday, she said, “We had some new drills at school today, and it was really strange.”
“Oh yeah,” I said. “What kind of drills did you practice?”
“We did a flood drill,” she replied. “We stood on our desk and hiked up our pant legs as practice in case the whole school floods.”
I stopped my vehicle at the crosswalk to let some children walk by. I looked up at her school, perched atop the highest hill in the entire neighborhood.
“That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard,” I said. “We’re miles from the Missouri River, and your school is at a high elevation.” I scratched my chin. “We’re living in strange times, I guess.”
“Well, we had another drill, too,” she said. “It was a preparedness drill for an earthquake.”
“Earthquakes,” I said, my voice suddenly shrill in disbelief. “In Nebraska?! You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“No,” she said, “it was basically the opposite of a flood drill. We crouched under our desks and covered our heads.”
I was speechless and bewildered. I looked back at the school, wondering if the teachers thought this protocol was as ridiculous as it sounded.
“April Fools!” I looked in the rearview mirror, and my daughter was in the back seat laughing so hard she actually snorted.
I’d been had.
I should have seen it coming. I knew it was April Fools’ Day. At least, I did in the morning. By the time school was out, it was an afterthought on the bottom shelf of my brain. It’s not easy to fool an intuitive parent. My psychic senses can usually call her bluff when she’s bending the truth about eating her vegetables or brushing her teeth. But this time, she got me. And I had to give her credit. The stories were far-fetched, but she made them sound totally believable. I suppose all those drama and theater classes are finally paying off.
This funny conversation got me thinking about human behavior and how we tend to believe (or not believe) certain information that’s presented to us. No doubt, psychology dissertations have been written about people’s believability meters and how trusting they are when absorbing information. Some people are more trusting and will believe just about anything they’re told. Others are more skeptical and tend to think critically, regardless of the evidence presented to them.
As a psychic, my clients tend to hover somewhere in the middle. They want to believe the information I give them, but they require proof and validation before fully accepting what I’m saying.
Inevitably, some clients reference psychic readings they’ve had in the past with other intuitive professionals. I politely listen, but it’s an odd conversation. I feel like a Target employee listening to a customer’s feedback about an experience they had at Wal-Mart. There’s not much I can do but listen and nod.
Until now…
Here’s my unsolicited advice on psychics and their predictions. When consulting with a psychic, keep what resonates with you and leave the rest behind. Nobody is in charge of your life except you. If you’re given a prediction you don’t like, then change your future. That’s the beauty of free will. If a psychic tells you something that doesn’t seem accurate or true, then it’s possible that the psychic is simply wrong. They’re likely not trying to fool or deceive you. It’s just that, like any profession, psychics are prone to making mistakes. It happens.
Anyone who works a full day is likely to make an error at some point. Authors make typos. Accountants might hit the wrong button on a calculator. A delivery driver might bump the curb while rounding a corner. Mistakes happen. Psychics are not exempt from this rule.
A prediction might be slightly off-base. Some information may be a bit fuzzy. And so on. I’m not mentioning this to give myself wiggle room for errors when conducting psychic readings. (I take pride in being extremely accurate in my delivery.) I’m only writing this article because I’ve noticed that a portion of my clients seem to feel anxious or confused about something a psychic told them in past years.
There is no need to overanalyze a psychic reading. Trust your instincts and follow your gut feelings. If a Tarot card reader from New Orleans said you were destined to marry a redhead and your spouse is blond, don’t lose sleep over it. If a mystic from Sedona said 2025 was meant to be challenging and you’re currently having the best year of your life, then enjoy the ride and try not to worry about things going south. The future is always changing. Destiny is flexible, not rigid.
Do not be fooled into thinking that psychics have god-like abilities. We do not control your life. We do not create your future. Intuition is merely a tool that allows us to dig a few layers deeper into the past, present, and future. Use the information provided as a guide to help you navigate life more effectively. Along the way, use your own common sense and intuition when making important decisions.
Like any industry, not all psychics are created equally. If you’ve met with one who doesn’t seem genuine or you just don’t jive with the person, it’s okay to move along and take the information with a grain of salt. If you vibe with a psychic and find the person to be accurate, a few appointments can be very helpful. And if you’ve had a psychic session with me and enjoyed the experience, please pass my name along to others in your circle. In a world of social media, word of mouth remains the most effective way for good news to spread. Thanks for your support. I appreciate each and every one of you. And that’s no foolin’.
I’m currently taking appointments for Soul Discovery sessions, past life readings, and private group events (which are SO much fun!) See my website for prices and details.
Have a great day.
