Hi Dear Pals. What’s cookin’? Hope not much its 12:18 am  when I write this.

I realized in the last few days that patience isn’t one of my talents.

My friend Carolyn and I got Charmed Aroma candles for a treat for our birthdays.

If you don’t know what they are let me tell you. You purchase a candle on line and hidden inside is a ring in tin foil. The ring is worth anywhere from $5 I believe and up to a few thousand. You receive a little code and you excitingly put it in and wait for the value of your buried treasure. Kind of  like gambling in the form of candles.

They were delivered to my house and I thought ok she gets first pick because otherwise its not fair. I tell you though I didn’t see Carolyn for a good week and I really wanted to get out my spoon and dig those suckers out!

That’s when I realized that I’m not patient at all.

Maybe another clue is that I can’t be bothered to scratch scratchy tickets. I just scratch the code and put it under the machine. Really I’m going to sit there rubbing off little letters. Ain’t happening?

Both our rings are pretty. Carolyn’s was worth $20 and mine was $50. Really if I saw them in the store I wouldn’t buy them and I’m not that fond of candles but the whole “rig a ma roll” or should I say “ring a ma roll” was pretty exciting.

OK I did dig mine out a bit early with tweezers but it was still fun. I’ll put a picture on my Psychic Cottage Instagram.

Happy Easter Dear Friends.

Easter has it all doesn’t it? Reflection, transformation, family, friends, bunnies, chocolate couple of days off to think about all this magic.

I was kind of thinking the last few days about manifesting and how come certain things don’t come to fruition no matter how many times we ask for it.

Are we asking wrong? Are we misguided about what we need in our life? Are we asking for a new pair of shoes when we should be asking how we are going to feel when we get those new pair of shoes? “I want to feel beautiful and fancy and walk like I own the world in my new pair of Fluevogs.” Wow not sure where that came from.

I kind of live the idea that if its hard stop pushing (my frustrated head against the wall) trying to get it. I found in my life that whenever I do this “I need it now” and its not happening fast that its probably not meant to be. After all if we knew the way we’d already be there.

I think of all the times that if I got my stubborn way I would have been in somewhat of a pickle and the wonderful things that happened after couldn’t have happened because I’d be back stuck at that place I thought I belonged.

Then when its meant to be “like the Midtown Centre store” it happens with grace and ease. God in action. The universe pulling all the stops to make it happen.

Why is it that sometimes its hard to look at where we are and say “I’m ok right here right now. I’m content until the next dream comes in.” Still having the vision but not being unhappy until it gets there.

And when it gets totally confusing for me I go back to the place that says “It’s all an illusion Sharon! It’s only happening because I created it.” That seems to put me in my place.

Have a wonderful Easter be nice and love as many people as you can because really what else is there.

Hi Everyone!

So sad Rob Ford is gone. I liked the way he jazzed up Toronto. My husband was way down in the south doing a Marathon and the only reason they knew about Toronto was because of Rob Ford.

He had his moments but don’t we all.

Condolences to his Family on this sad day.

Hi Everyone.

This is what my sign says at the Psychic Cottage.

Now I wasn’t anticipating that a fundamental religious person would find this offensive.

Of course I wasn’t indicating that “I” would be the miracle people can expect, it was more that live life as if it is a miracle and to expect miracles all the time.

Oops my bad and yes they showed up. Thank God Donna was at the front minding the store while I was doing a reading. She handled him just fine and very graciously.

It’s fun getting used to mall life.

Hello Dear Souls. How goes it?

I have this wonderful app on my Ipad called Daily Fortune and all I have to do is put my thumb on it to reveal my fortune. Usually its kind of loose but today it was spot on.

It said “Throw out those rags you call shoes and buy a new pair.

It must be real because its even Friends and Family day at Softmoc  this morning!

Diane (my sister) stop laughing, haha.

OK I wouldn’t say my Blundstones are rags but I have to listen.

Actually since getting my Blundstones I never wear anything else. They are like custom pillows for your feet and they look all bad a** to go with it.

Ok I talked myself out of new shoes until next fortune time but it was a spooky co-incidence.

Here is last weeks sign at The Psychic Cottage. I’m switching every Sunday just to freak out the “normies” (if there’s such a thing).  It’s fun being in a mall because absolutely no one expects a psychic in a mall. I can hear people say “omg a Psychic?”. What fun thanks Max for taking a chance on me.

Oh does the fun ever stop!

Hello Dear Friends.

I’m not a whiney person but some things just bother me.

SO I pull into Tim’s today and I’ve noticed lately that when you order a drink and a breakfast sandwich they say “I’ll make that a combo” and I was a little surprised as they usually say “Do you want to make this a combo”. It’s a little confusing because “$0” shows up on the screen.

I didn’t really want a combo but I thought well if its free why not add some unwanted pounds.

Curious as I am I said to the cash person “am I paying extra for a combo?” which she says “yes $0.40”. I’m like I never asked for that and she’s like sorry and that they have been saying that forever. To which I said “naa that’s not true”.

I said ok this time take the money for your tip jar but you won’t get me again.  Funny part is they left in the hashbrowns which I threw out because I really didn’t want them in the first place and maybe just maybe I was a little peeved.

I’ve boycotting restaurants for less than this.

Totally on the big picture this is silly but I’m not going to let anyone push me around.

Good morning. I spent my morning waiting for our lovely Lily Mirage to get its check up.

I love this car. We had a blue one before and my husband got in an accident which pushed him into another car and out he walked no harm done. Car was totalled but as long as my hubby was fine. Now we have a white one.

When she was in they said there are two recalls. Does that ever just make you a bit leery? It didn’t sound like much when he explained it and I’m glad they are on the ball but makes you wonder what else is going on in these cars of ours.

When I get in any car I ask Archangel Michael to be there and protect the car and the people in it and the people all around ending with “Archangel Michael with your sword of cobalt blue please protect us” making a swooping motion with my arm.

Crazy probably but it does give me comfort.

Last night I had the craziest dreams. What was up with the planets? They were like nightmares with a bizarre touch.

If they have anything to do with what my subconscious is thinking I’d say I’m a bit messed up!

Nothing else much to chat about. I’m having a well deserved day off.

Be happy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. May you be lucky and blessed.

Have I told you how grateful I am that you are in my life? I am.

I read somewhere that we should not even get out of bed until we say ten things we are grateful for. I never have a hard time coming up with my ten things and kind of giggle when I can’t stop.

My dear Husband, my handsome and wonderful Sons, my beautiful Daughter in Law, my kind and treasured Sister,  my cool Brothers, my sweet Sister-in-law, my loving Brother-in-law, my husband’s Family his Brother who is always there for us,  his kind Sisters and Mother, all my amazing Family  and my many wonderful friends.  The people alone make up my ten and then I start on the blessings that have fallen in my lap especially these last few months.

If we start out our day with what’s going right then how can we ever have a bad day as it will pale in comparison with what is going right.

Good morning everyone.

I had to show you my new sign at The Psychic Cottage in Midtown Centre (since closed sorry).

Isn’t it lovely? I’m so excited about the new store and I hope you drop by. Hours vary a bit because of readings but call ahead to make sure were open.

Inspired by Brian of the Violet Door in Bowmanville who leaves our wonderful thought provoking quotes for us to read on his sign I have purchased a little cinema sign and I will add daily inspirations. This one may be hard to read but it says Manifest your Dreams. A fitting one for the store for me.

Have a wonderful day!

Sharon

(Kindly note I had to close this store due to health.)

Midtown Centre

Hello Dear Friends.

As you have probably heard The Psychic Cottage has relocated to Midtown Centre, 200 John Street West, Oshawa, Ontario.

Does the fun ever stop?

This is a retail location and we will eventually be having classes on Sundays. Once my stress level has gone down a bit.

My lovely  sister sent me this quote this morning so I’m praying this is true and I’m not really stressed I’m just “passioned”.

“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.” ~ Simon Sinek

You will love the reading room. I finally found a place for my purple chandelier from Urban Barn. I think its been sitting in the bag for three years.

Speaking of forgetting about stuff I’ve bought and never used I’m going to be going through our overstuffed house and looking for things to sell either on varage or at the store if appropriate. I think it will be a facebook page named something clever. Watch for it. Or not if you are zenning out and simplifying life in which case never mind!

Love you all. Sign up for newsletter to stay in touch.

It’s been so long since writing I’m hoping I can get back in the groove.

Until we meet again, Sharon
