Does Believing Make it So?

When my husband and I first became friends (we were best friends before the relationship began) he was rather reluctant to believe in my "gifts". Which of course was fine because I have no interest in converting anyone to my way of believing or for that matter convincing anyone that I have been blessed with psychic gifts. He was introduced to this gift shortly before 911 when I felt very strongly that I needed to get our boss home from a business trip he had been on on 9/10 instead of 9/11. Of course at the time I did not know why, but learned a long time ago not to question my instincts. My boss had not been anywhere near New York, however had he not flown in the day before the tragedy he would have been grounded and unable to get home for a few days.

There have been many such occurrences since then. Even still he was not completely on board. Eventually after being told by my date, on a double date, we were on that we should be dating one another, we began dating and the rest is history. Though my husband never questioned me as to why I thought this or that, and always listened intently when I would explain the bizarre happenings in my life, it was the next two events that I believe solidified to him that I was the real deal.

First we were trekking across the country on our way to set up residence in MN, on the way we stopped to visit his cousin Nicole and his Auntie who was visiting from MA in Colorado Springs, CO. It was the first time I was meeting any of his family other than the little guys so I was a bit nervous. It turns out that was unwarranted because they embraced me and welcomed me as family immediately. We carried our baggage to the room we would be staying in, I asked Ted if he knew his cousin was pregnant and that it was a boy? He of course said no and we went about our visit.

The next morning Ted had gotten up before me (nothing new about that) which gave Ted and Nicole time to chat before everyone got up. Nicole informed him that she was pregnant, not missing a beat Ted told her that he knew because I had told him the night before. He then told Nicole that it would be a boy. Nicolas was born the following April.

Second, In November of 2006 my father-in-law was in a car accident. He was banged up but okay, thank God. I had that knowingness that he should not drive again; of course me being me, I voiced my concern to the family and explained that it was more than just a worried concern. Dad is just a tad stubborn and would have none of it. Needless to say 5 months later he was in another accident, again banged up but okay.

Now you have to understand that my husband was raised Greek Orthodox and my mother in-law is still very active in the church, I was pretty sure the church would not be thrilled with my abilities. So to have their son married to a woman with a tremendously active sixth sense had to be a bit unsettling. I should add at this point that my husbands family lives in Peabody, MA which is just outside of Salem, MA (do you see the irony of it all). My sister in-law lives in Danvers MA which is old Salem Village where the actual witch trials were held (I know, I know, pretty bizarre). My mother-in-law was tremendously trusting and simply went with the flow and, to her credit, accepted me sixth sense and all. My Sister in-law jumped on board immediately. However, I am pretty sure that my father in-law still thinks I am a little bit off in the head. After that my husband simply believed - as does most of his family because they do call and ask if the psychic in the family has any insight on this that or the other. Unfortunately for me it does not work that way, if I am suppose to know it and share I get the information if not I don't, this tends to be tremendously frustrating for me, but it is what it is. I could go on and on about all the validations in my life, but to keep this less than 1000 pages I won't.

As my Website declares I have quite a large tool box of gifts, one of the things I have come to rely on is believing. I have had many a client sit across from me during a session and say "Geez I hope this, or I hope that". I ask them if they believe it can happen or do they hope it will happen. Without exception it takes them off guard. This now brings us to the conversation my husband and I had a few days ago on our way home from dinner. My husband puts together horse racing partnerships and manages them http://www.grevelisracing.com/ One of our horses was set to race on Sunday 5/25 at Canterbury Park. His name is Fizzy Pop. He was talking about the race and how much he wanted Fizzy to win. I asked him if believed Fizzy could win or was he hoping he would win. I told him that if he did not believe he would win, it was likely he would not. He was quiet for a few minutes and said that he believed he could win. I then went on to explain how sensitive horses are and that they pick up on human vibrations, and if Fizzy felt the vibration as being anything other than positive, the results would be anything but positive.
Of course we have had this type of conversation in past so I was not saying anything new. (As a side note last fall I had the opportunity to participate in some equine therapy, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I highly recommend it to everyone. If you would like some more information please let me know.) That evening my husband sat down and blogged about our conversation http://www.grevelisracing.blogspot.com/

As each partner showed up on Sunday I asked them each if they believed Fizzy Pop could win or if they just hoped he would win. Each thought about it and replied that they believed he could win. Which of course was the answer I was looking for. As I predicted Fizzy Pop won easily that day. I can tell you with absolute certainty that my husband and his partners believe that believing is key. What you put out in the universe will come back to you good or bad. I told my husband that It should not matter whether Fizzy Pop is racing the best of the best or the worst of the worst, put doubt out in the universe, the universe will deliver.

Did Fizzy Pop win because we believed? I truly believe he did. So my challenge to you is to believe, see it, feel it, sense it and it will be your reality. The universe will reward you.

Love, light and Angel Blessings Theri
