Whew...

[Morrighan61]

End of my first week flipping cards for a living. Two days off, thank Goddess. My brain is completely fried. I'd forgotten how hard it is to read for 30 people in a day! I used to read via phone years ago, but reading online is a very different thing indeed.

I might as well be in an office typing for a six hours at a stretch!

Ouch, my neck and back are just killin me!

(Yes, I started using the voice type program sometimes, but that is kind of slow...)

Sometimes it really gets to me, how the folks can be. Most of them are lovely, but now and again you get someone who's on a real negative path, and it's just hard to peer into their heads and not want to go ICK and run away for a while...

Anybody else on MW reading pro?

Online, Off?

I'm just curious as to how you feel about it...

Part of me always feels a bit weird when there is a pay check involved, but then again I do have to eat and keep a roof over my head and with my physical situation doing the 9-5 or retail thing just hasn't been working.

This job came out of the blue and was a direct answer to a request that I have a job to start by then. So I do think this job is more than a bit of a gift and that I am supposed to be there helping folks, but I'm not quite sure where my own path is going with this you know?

In all honestly I wasn't thinking I'd be back here doing readings f/t as it were. I figured I'd be doing an office job and maybe a stint in a shop, a tea room, a faire, now and again, a few privates as time and discretion allowed, yes, but not reading 30 plus hours a week...

The spirit guides are very active over this too...

I had a dream I was moving further back into town last night, which was weird because I have no plans to move, but in the dream the guy made quite a point of telling me I had DSL waiting so I could just go ahead and start work. I'm taking this as a "thumbs up" from the Gods, and that the old guy was a Mercury-Hermes type telling me "full speed ahead" and that I have help waiting if I need it.

Never mind, I guess I am just musing...

I'm extremely tired and I'm probably just babbling...

Let me here from you if you are doing similar though. I want to hear a bit about your experiences "in the field" as it were...

I've done readings for decades now... and I've also sung your same, sometimes blusey, torch song.... When your spirit is pure....which it must be or thoughts of $$$money$$$ integrity would not have even crossed your mind~!!!!!~ you are protected. Do your best...send love and golden pink light before during and after each reading.... and you will be well enough. Allow the sweet ones to "Fluff your Aura" ~!!!~ I send you a universal *HUG* for guidance and reassurance. And IF you ever feel you must quit ...only then. Be Well. Rosewoodsea

Thanks, Morrihan61, for sharing your situation. I work at a full time job (not Tarot/Psychic related) about 9-10 hours a day and then I do online psychic chat readings, offline Tarot and psychic readings and my website maintenance in the evening, after work. Phew! And boy, at the end of the day, am I completely exhausted! :ahhhh:

I am on MW readers Guild, so that's also a place where I get reading requests from, mostly over PM. Yeah, I do feel sometimes that not only do some people would do well with a Psychic/Tarot reading, but also a bit of counselling would do no harm. It is difficult to hold yourself back (I do) from making suggestions when you clearly see a person spiralling down in life.

Yeah, I feel uncomfortable receiving money for readings, but this is only a shield so that I don't get overwhelmed with reading requests! :geez: I find it very difficult to say no when somebody asks for a reading.

My "in the field" experiences come from MW, friends, my website Astral Trail (http://www.astraltrail.com) and through online chat. So far so good. But tiring. ;)
