Boogirl part 2

Fast forward from those awkward school days and here I am. 39, single (divorced) with a 10 year old son who I love to bits. I was born in the U.S and moved to the UK in 2002 with my then husband. It was a very bumpy road for me. But I grew to love living in the UK. It felt like home. Many people don't get that. They ask why I choose to live so far from family and friends and the place I grew up. No one in my family has ever been out of the country (well not on purpose - my brother is in the Army and he goes places) But I am an adventurer! Even when things went bad I did not give up trying to make a home here.

A few years ago I tried to start my own business. I had been reading tarot cards since 13 and along the way I learned so much about spirituality, metaphysics, and honed my own skills. I became a Reiki practitioner while I was still in the states and was reading at faires and a local occult shop there. All this around my tech support/customer service job. I have worked at normal jobs since I was 15 and when I came to the UK, and the divorce was finalized, I decided I wanted to follow my dream of helping people. I created my own website in 2004, grew a client base, started reading at faires here, did lots of e-mail readings, became a reiki master, and became more of a spiritual counsellor than a Tarot reader because I started using angel cards, faeries oracle, and runes. I truly enjoyed it and I wanted to become a grievance counsellor.

But somewhere this year I let life get the better of me and I withdrew. Reading for people started to drain me. I couldn't focus anymore and I found no joy in it. My life hit a breaking point this May and I had a spiritual crisis. I felt like a sham. How could I sit there giving advice through readings when my own life was such a mess? So I stopped. I took the site down. I still wrote a monthly newsletter for my clients who have stuck by me all this time! I would get the ocassional request for a reading which I did.

This past month I started pondering putting up my site again. I had a tough road there for a while but I had help and I feel stronger again. So last night I sat there and said...hell why not! And I opened up the site again. Let's see where this journey takes me.
