GIFT CERTIFICATES

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Gift certificates are a handy way to get through your gift giving list easily and quickly. Who wouldn't want a report of the upcoming year, a comparison report of their significant other with themselves or a character analysis (or many other types of reports) or a tarot or astrological reading? The certificates are good for one year.

Certificates can be mailed to you or your family member or friend directly.

Prices will be going up in January, but they are constant for the holiday season. Check out SERVICES AND FEES on my site to see if you would like to book a reading for yourself or as a gift or to order a report!

Tarot Readings are $125 - going up to $150 in January.

Astrological Readings are $150 - going up to $175 in January.

Happy Holidays to all and may the New Year bring you the best of luck, good health, happiness, abundance and joy in all things.

Blessings,

FENG SHUI IN CHINA

Many of my clients and friends have been asking how I am. I came back from China in late October with another Feng Shui Certification in China Studies. It was a beautiful place, but there were too many people for me (1.5 billion) and most were rude and push you out of whatever line you are standing in and you wind up in another line 10-20 feet away from where you originally started. Don't even get me started about their toilets which are situated level in the floor! The 5 star hotels had western toilets, but everywhere else - disaster!

We started in Beijing and wound up in Shanghai over the two week period taking five plane trips to various cities and a four day cruise down the Yangtze River. That was the highlight of the trip. Being with 30 other people on the tour was interesting and we did have to tiptoe around two "special" personalities, but all in all, it was an experience I will always remember. I had a lovely room mate who was nearly 20 years younger than me, but she was a treasure. As time went on, she found other friends to hang around with at night as did I (around my own age), but we did the tour together. I had gotten sick three times in China with the food and she was very thoughtful and stayed out longer each night so that I could rest. What else could I have asked for?

The sites we saw: the temples, the classes, the Forbidden City and I even climbed up to the first tower of the Great Wall - were unbelievable. I had to climb the Great Wall when I saw Mirriam, an 89 year old woman on our tour, made it up there and I couldn't be shown up. On her 90th birthday, she wants to go on an African safari. You go girl! So once you walk up the many mismatched steps which ranged from 6" to probably 1.5 ft. high, you could then buy a metal certificate swearing that you walked up the steps. It was an exhilarating experience. I probably will never go there again, but the lovely sites, the knowledge and the memories will never be forgotten. I will put some of my pictures from China on my site soon.

HEALTH

Shortly after I returned, I was rushed to emergency and stayed in the hospital for five days. I had emergency gall bladder surgery. I am doing well now and healing quickly. I had the best doctors and nurses any one could ask for in Chilton Memorial Hospital; I thank God for my speedy recovery. I had been misdiagnosed with acid reflux (on three meds for a year) and then probably a bleeding ulcer which was going to be checked out after my China trip. I was very sick for over two years, but we all must deal with our illnesses. Every test I took came out 100% perfect, but my gall bladder was very diseased, I had pancreatitis and the bile in my system had been backing up for months. The only reason I share this with you is because I found out by a test where a camera goes down my intestines and to the pancreas and gall bladder that I never had acid reflux nor a bleeding ulcer. I couldn't eat normally for over a year, but now I can eat everything once again. If you feel that you have something else wrong with you and the meds you are given are not working -- ask questions! This is what I learned from this crazy ordeal.

My family and friends had come to my house to cook, clean, vacuum, do laundry and just do anything that I needed. Family and friends are a blessing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It truly will be a Happy Thanksgiving for me and my family. I wish all of you the best of holidays -- and enjoy your family and friends!
