Proclaim with Joy

There is no doubt that I learn from my students.

This past week, I repeatedly requested my Audition Technique students, to tell me about themselves. This is a very important skill to develop, and one that most find very difficult. We are thrown into a bit of a turmoil. What can I say that tells the person about me, but doesn’t come off as arrogant, or boring, or “normal,” or trivial… what speaks to the request AND may help me to stand out in their minds?

I suggest that one of the easiest ways to do this is to talk about what makes you passionate (aside from acting).

Each person found something that made them “different” without really being further prodded. This was good. And then a young woman, who was new to our classes, stepped up, and what she shared slapped me hard in the face, and woke me up.

She announced, with joy and openness, that she was teaching herself tarot.

There was no fear in her statement. No apology. No explanation. Just joy.

Well… in my role as auditor, that sparked my curiosity, and I asked a couple of more questions about her interest. This is what happens… we trigger something in the agent, manager, casting director, director (producer, writer, etc.) and they are intrigued, an interest is sparked, a shared passion is discovered.

But this went further for me. For over two decades I have been reading intuitive tarot—so we had a shared interest. But. I don’t talk about it (well, at least until now). My clients come from word of mouth* and I am very grateful to be able to use the gifts I have been given, to be able to be the conduit for my clients and their guides; to bring light, insight and communication that furthers their understanding of themselves and their worlds. It brings me joy and gratitude and spiritual enrichment to do this. It is certainly a passion, and very much part of my life.

BUT I don’t talk about it – yes, this was the slap in the face.

Here was this young person who, with no considerations, proclaimed with joy that she was teaching herself tarot.

So I am learning. And I am here proclaiming with joy that I read intuitive tarot.

I hear messages and see images from spirit-guides, and sometimes from those who have passed. I share this with those who come for readings, confidentially and with compassion. (And, in case there may be fear that someone else will know your fears/darkness/issues—I do not retain readings any more than an image or snippet, much like remembering an elusive dream). And I mentor those who wish to develop their connection to their intuitive gifts.

This is part of who I am that I no longer can—nor do I wish to—hide.

Joy. Light. Love. Gratitude. Insight.

May you find the courage to proclaim YOU, with joy!

Joy! Light! Love!
