I just want to share my experiences during my first time working behind the counter of an awesome fish and chips shop at Jimboomba.
I went in early, because I can't help but not be nervous and excited at the same time. The nerves meant many pit stops to the toilet before I actually got to the shop. The excitement wouldn't wear off till I got home.
There were so many different people that came to place an order and take away their little packs of yummy goodies. A few familiar faces came along, they were caught by surprise to see me on the other side of the counter. There was a lady who came along, someone I hadn't expected to come in, order from me. This family had threatened mine onces upon a time and I felt uneasy at first, but I decided I wasn't the person they had tried to scare, I was the smiling, friendly person with my "training wheels", as I put it. I smiled, was friendly and gave her the best service I possibly could.
It was just a small gesture, however I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with this lady on a different level, in a different social scenario, and most without the emotions that should have stopped me from giving the best customer service.
I guess it goes to show that a mind manipulates how the body will react, no matter what situation.

Promo shoot.
Yesterday the 16th of February, Rick and I held our first Spirit Fest party, in conjunction with a promotional photo shoot, using competition winners and friends. It was a chance for us to showcase our talents and also give them a taste of the services we provide, as listed on our spiritual menu.
I was a little nervous as we had a shakey start to the morning, our little Espiritu dog, Gucci. She had slept in the house with us and when we woke up we found an empty, chewed box of rat poison. So we had a 6am dash to the vet at Samford Valley, $236 later, she was ok and just needs to be watched over the next 3days. ( She is quite happy and ok now.)
We had planned on having a few hours to clean up and get ready for the party. We rushed around, cleaning up, setting up and getting ourselves ready.
When everyone arrived, I thanked everyone and explained how the party was going to work and what our intentions were with the promotional shoot and party.
We started off with a quick 10 minute meditation, our four ladies had not experienced a guided meditation before. I asked about what they experienced during the meditation, how they felt, what they saw, because the experience is quite private I won't disclose what our participants said, but over all, their responses were quite positive and eye opening.
We also went through the basics of house clearings, why people get them done, what are the effects of the negative thinking and energy that can influence us. There was a quick play with Karmina Gordon's sprays and the amazing effects they have your mood and thinking.
Our singing bowl was a big hit with our ladies as well. The vibrations helped clear their aura and realign their chakras. Everyone was able to try the singing bowl and boy they she sing. Our little bowl did her magic and had gotten everyone to fall in love with her vibrations. There were also card readings and learning how to interpret what each card means.
I really enjoyed myself. Sharing a new experience with everyone. Showing people how the small mental notes that have held us back can slowly be removed.
We hope our next party will be just as successful.
Thank the gods and the ladies!

Hard work?!
It can sometime seem as if the harder you work, the harder you fall. The more you put into your work, the more you cherish it, the more protective of it you become. This little business of ours is something that I feel passionate about and it seems, just sometimes, that some people don't understand why we do what we do and that the services we provide is there to help clients and also to provide us with an income.
Rick and I enjoy giving away free readings to our likers/fans/clients, sometimes it feels like burden for us to give our friends and family free readings and treatments. I know, total oxymoron, right?! We enjoy the readings for people who we have no connection with, clients who are strangers to us. We can connect to their spirit guides, angels, loved ones on an annonymous level, so there is no tainted, "I think" mentality where judgement is placed in front of what we can see. Reading for our clients feels like a new adventure, exploring a world that is unseen by us and can be explored without doing harm and help them with their queries.
When it comes to our friends and family, or people we have known or have a personal connection with, it can be a little hard to remove the ego and remove the judgement we have. It is hard to identify which is the message from our heads and the messages from our heart.
It also goes the same way from our clients point of view, which both Rick and I have experienced for ourselves, having paid for readings from the bad to the amazing readers.
Our hard work seems to sometimes feel like work. We love doing what we do, if we say no to a free reading, healing, etc, it's not for us not having the gift or wanting to share it with people, it is because we need to make sure we have the right intention going into a reading or healing, if something doesn't feel right, if there are lower energies surrounding us, it is may not be the best time for things to be done.
This isn't meant to be a rant about being asked for readings, or healings, where we can we do as much as we possibly can.
It's also reflective of how our stats for the facebook page have been going. I felt we were on a roll with getting new likers, getting people to interact on the page, then the weather took us by surprise, I felt a little dejected. But all through it we had people who supported us even though we were only able to go online for 30 minutes or so.
I guess I need to just be grateful for everything as they are. Things will come to us when it's time for them to come to us.

Plant a seed, see it grow.
I have been through a bit of a tailspin in the past 2 weeks. Just when you think things are starting to turn around something comes along to test you. This time is was the floods, no, I don't think that mother nature is trying to ruin my fun, no at all. But it has shown me a few truths; a) who our real friends are; b) without maintenance things that you beleive slowly start to fade away; and c) nothing is permanent.
