I came to an interesting and heartbreaking conclusion to surviving in this world while doing this kind of work. Yet another person had just asked for an on-the-spot mini-reading (never mentioning compensation, of course), and something inside of me just shut down. It was the fourth time this had happened in one week.
She, and others like her, were charging clients good money and kept seeking free information from me. "What's your take on it?" she would ask. Others would command, "read me," holding their arms up like they were stepping on some sort of invisible x-ray machine. Feeling rather depleted, I told the woman that I just didn't have the energy--I had to save it for my (rather low-paying) day-job. When the others asked me to "prove" my psychic skills on command, I told them, "Sorry, it's time to charge for that." I asked, "Don't you get it? I am not going to be able to continue to do this kind of work if I am stuck in retail for scale wages and nobody is paying for this!"
Any stucco'd Sicilian-American would concur: "I'm done. I am so done." Sigh.
My new motto? If they can't afford me, I can't afford them.

I offer yoga instruction, aura readings, and clear the energy of the body. Interested in advocating for all spirits: animal, plant, forest, ocean and human. I bring clarity to those who have lost loved ones, and assist the spirits of those who have left the physical realm. This light also communicates itself through my photography--both local and global. My photographs express spiritually symbolic lessons and poetic metaphors and are for sale.
