Around the same time she gave me a set of tarot cards & strongly encouraged me to learn to read them. By the time I was 16 years old she would have me do card readings for her friends, who would slip me $20...that my mother would later take from me to use for her cigarettes & gas money. 😒 Of course I was making up everything in the readings based part on conversations I would frequently over hear about her friend's lives, everything from affairs to health problems. It's very sad. People from all walks of life from celebrities to us every say people embrace and believe in "psychics"...their "powers" and "magic". To those who are desperately lonely and unhappy it can become an addiction.

    A psychic at a fair read my future when I was a teenager. She said in 2 yrs I’d hear the pitter patter of little feet. The next year I would receive an 8 pound bundle of joy with an unexpected surprise. 3 months after that I would find a secret box filled with the essence of life. 3 months later I would move to a new place. Boy was she accurate.
    Exactly 2 yrs later I got a rodent infestation. I got a cat to take care of it. She did a great job but needed a little help & a friend. So I got her a gal pal kitty. I took my first kitty to the Vet who informed me she was a he whose testicles hadn’t dropped. Also he was 8 pounds. Oh yeah. He got the other cat pregnant before I found out he was not a she. The second kitty had kittens & hid them in a box far back in a closet.
    Three months later I had a small electrical fire that burned up the living room. And by the time all those cats & rodents chewed up & scratched the house I decided I’d better move & start all over.

    Obviously we can pick up on energy that is in our external environment-“gut feeling” is derived from this. I’ve had good feedback from my abilities, when I was 4 I spoke about a child my Gma had that was a secret-that was the beginning of my parents understanding some ppl can access certain energies they feel. An example as an adult I did not take heed with: my husband stood up in a friends wedding and I was his guest. I kept feeling I should not go-terrible feelings. Even though I know my abilities I chose to ignore it and go.
    I left early from the wedding, my husband stayed. A man at the wedding followed me home, broke into my home where my 14 year old was also. He attempted to rape me until my son grabbed our gun. We made it out ok, aside from the criminal trial and trauma we continue to work through.
    Everyone has these extra sensory abilities, but by God please do not think they are under your complete control. I cannot control when they come to me-there’s no “buy a lotto ticket”-and get rich.
    Use discernment.

    Dr. Grande, how do you do it? What's your secret?
    IMO we should support this dedicated and hardworking man who consistently wakes up early and rarely takes time off. He is passionate about his work, which many of us appreciate and look forward to daily. He never disappoints and is incredibly reliable.
    Dr. Grande hardly ever takes sick leave or vacations, and it seems like he is always working without time for leisure. He truly deserves a day off. Let's support him by subscribing, liking, donating and commenting,
    Thank you, Dr. Grande, for everything you do. For your unwavering dedication and for keeping us informed.
    Last but not least, Dr. Grande, your infamous dry humor, sweetens the pot. Thank you for the laughs. There were many.

She had a friend drive her to where she kept thinking he would be, and the man was located, dead. She was arrested and held in jail until she was cleared. She has always been fey, she said never again would she help in this manner. And she hasn’t.

    People use psychics although they’ll never admit it. I think if you have concerns to work out you are far better off using valuable counseling resources either in person or on the net that can be researched on your own. Many psychics are, in my view, people who have good social skills and like many people in life tell folks what they want to hear. I do have to add that I do feel there are people who are highly intuitive and observant which gives the impression of other worldly skills. Frankly, some people just pay attention to their surroundings and observe behavior patterns like the tv show “The Mentalist” and can make amazing assessments. Some folks live in a fog so if they meet someone who actually listens and observes they are astounded.

Maybe more simply-put, why do people even believe in psychics? and telekinesis, and reading minds and all that.
