Predictions, the Unknown, and Practicing Trust

In one-on-one readings, I often make "predictions," but absolutely know that people can change course at any time. I love to use my mom's analogy when we teach our Intuitive Skills classes together:

​If you are driving from Sacramento to Reno, heading up I-80, you might pull over at a gas station and ask, "Am I going to Reno?" After figuring out where you came from and which direction you've been traveling, the attendant would say, "Yes, just keep heading up I-80 and you'll get there." Doing a reading about someone's future is similar. The person telling you that you are going to Reno usually predicts where you are going based on where you've been, what road you're traveling on, and your intended destination. The choice in whether you stay on the road, or turn around, or pull off at any other exit is yours.

Several months ago I had "seen" that the energies brought with the Equinox would be huge, but didn't think about it again... until I felt them.
 
Last week, my mom, Rev. Tess Pender, experienced a stroke. Though I don't believe that the energies of the Equinox caused it, or that they are inherently bad, I do see a correlation.
 
We are rapidly moving into at time where patterns are clearing, hearts are opening, and life is expanding. This can be seen in an infinite array of manifestations. As you see and sense the shifts around you, I offer you these words, "Breathe and Trust." Of course, I'm doing my best to do this very practice!
 
For those who have been offering prayers - with Facebook comments, phone calls and in your hearts - my mom and I sincerely thank you! I trust that this next phase in our lives as mother, daughter and family will bring deeper heart connections.
