Extra (Ordinary)

I like my cosmic cheaters.  Sometimes life happens and you feel so disconnected that you step outside yourself and wonder why the eff you decided it was a good idea to reincarnate.  I mean my upstairs team are sitting perpetually beautiful on fluffy clouds, eating Philly cream cheese and always positively glowing because they know they won't gain a pound.  Let's not forget the nice perk of manifestation where they can create things out of thin air just by thinking of it.  And I'm stuck here... usually in the presence of morons and trudging through lessons after lessons with my limited human brain and my low metabolism of a human suit.  On my "poor me" days I find pleasure in shaking my fist at the air, wildly waving in a grand gesture and screaming, "Okay I am done playing simple-cell human.  Come beam me up Scotty."  During those maniac states I find it inspirational that my upstairs team intervenes before I re-enact the definition of postal on the dumber parts of humanity.

I was feeling out of orbit with my Universal mojo so I scheduled a reading with my talented psychic Annar.  If you don't know already, Annar is what I lovingly call a cosmic cheater.  Cosmic cheaters access information that you have contractually agreed to forget when you decided joining the Earth Experiment appeared to be a fun proposal.  She is a talented intuitive and I have seen her three times over the last decade.  She is so in demand that when you call to book an appointment you have to wait three months until you can actually see her.  This time, I decided to sweet talk Chris into coming with me because when it comes to all things weird, he has mainly been sitting on the sidelines of the action.  If this is my partner in crime, I figured he might as well jump into the fire.

As soon as I walk through her door she starts interrogating, "Who's pregnant?"  I haven't even put down my purse.  I confirm her accuracy and let her know that my sister Stephanie is due in October.  She looks at me all weird and asks, "Are you sure you're not?"  I ignore the scary thought and move into her office where she sits us down.  Chris and I fiddle with the iPad to digitally record the reading as I find it helpful to review the abundance of information thrown at us at later time when the mind is more quiet.  Annar sits down and appears exasperated, "Wow, you brought a lot of people here with you."  I was confused because I only brought Chris.  Yes normally it's just me, but honestly bringing one other person is hardly "a lot of people."  She points to the air above her, crosses her arms ands says, "No, like... there are a lot of Spirits that want to talk to you."  It turns out Spirits just hang out with me.

Annar does her usual thing and starts bombarding us with information.  Mid way she stops and says, "Oh Elaine is here."  I glance nervously at Chris.  Elaine is Chris' grandmother who passed away from cancer about 20 years ago.  Chris was very close to her and since I'm married to him, she has "popped" into all my readings with Annar.  I guess when the communication lines are open, the upstairs team are eager to share their information with you.  Annar yells at Elaine for actually interrupting the reading but she delivers a simple message of "Hello" and that she would like us to put some color in the new Spotted Frog.  Our five year anniversary of our company is this year and one of the things we were playing with was re-branding our logo to something unexpected... like using the color purple instead of the green we currently have.  Our company is actually named after Grandma Elaine.  My mother in law and business partner has always seen frogs as her lucky sign because when her mother (Grandma Elaine) was alive she collected frogs.  How beautiful was it that Grandma Elaine approved of our color re-branding.  Annar laughs and tells Chris that Grandma Elaine is hilarious which Chris already knew.  When she was alive, she had a lot of fire in her belly.  I can feel that Chris is getting a little choked up with his favorite Grandma's visit.

Annar then tells us another Spirit is here.  She asks if I know of an Audrey and did she die of ovarian cancer.  My eyes dilate, my heart beats faster and I eek out a soft "yes".  Annar is struggling to deliver the message.  She then tells me that Audrey is giving me a logo and it's white wings.  I look at Annar in total confusion.  "What do you mean she's giving me a logo?"  When Audrey was alive she gave loads of things, including many unsolicited hilarious opinions but logo trading was not an activity we partook in.  Annar tries to explain herself more clearly, "She's giving you a sign... ummm... it's white... wings?"  My heart, which has already skipped multiple beats at hearing Audrey's name officially jumped out of my chest cavity.  The night before Audrey passed away I had dreamt that I helped her put on her Angel wings.  If you missed my blog post on it, here it is again for reference: http://thebookofhuong.blogspot.ca/2012/07/rip-audrey.html.  I am visibly shaken and electricity just starts shooting up through my spine.  Annar clarifies the sign and says, "Audrey wants you to know that when you see a white butterfly" it means it's her.

The rest of the hour flies by.  Annar confirms that Kaiya sees things the human eyes don't pick up.  She predicts that Kaiya will be a challenge to parent but it will be worth the grey hairs and AA meetings because she'll become a doctor.  Tai will be a very popular young man and won't have any problems with the ladies.  She sees that my brother in law Jeff will reach his prime as he enters the golden age of  his thirties and we'll watch him on TV in the Olympics because of his mad athletic abilities.  She rambles on that Lairay has found his match.  She mentions that my sister will have a baby girl named Maya.  The reading is filled with messages for my friends.

At the end of it all I ask her what my grand purpose of my life is.  She tells me it's to live a life of love.  That simple phrase resonated so deeply that it occurred to me that I already knew that... I just needed my upstairs team to remind me.
