I was born with a strong empathy I feel came after my near death experience as a child. Since my grandmother and her sisters were raised believing in omens, interpreting dreams, an interest in the afterlife, I also was taught the same. I first learned how to give a reading after being introduced to the Tarot as a teenager. The paranormal was part of my upbringing since I can remember. I began at age 14 and now I am 59. I read for the woman at a DV shelter I worked in, and for friends until the internet opened a door to reach many more people. I know what I'm doing, and I am good at it! However, please understand that sixty seconds is not long enough to answer some questions. For those who call thinking I should have said more, I suggest you consider the question before rating the answer.
