It’s My Turn
The next step in this adventure was for me to go and get my own reading done. This time I choose to go somewhere else so that the psychic didn’t know that I intended to write an article. I went by myself this time and the experience was quite different than the one I had with Amanda.
A short stout lady with shoulder-length hair sat behind a small counter watching television and smoking a cigarette as I walked into the shop. In a sweet southern accent she asked how I was. To me she seemed a lot more relaxed than Cleo and a little friendlier too, which helped in relaxing my nerves.
The lady behind the counter soon led me to another room. As I entered, I noticed that she would not be the one performing the reading. Rather, a large woman dressed in black slacks and a novelty tee-shirt sat at a table shuffling cards.
The experience I had in the actual reading was about the same as Amanda’s, but mine was a little longer and a little more in-depth (Although, I paid a little more for my reading, $25, it was well worth it). Mrs. Rosa (again an alias) spoke very softly about how many opportunities would be opening up to me.
She said that she could see several branches that broke away from the normal lines of my palm, which these branches, she claimed, showed that my life would take several turns in the next few years. However, she said that I shouldn’t be too afraid of them, because they were destined.
She led her soft index finger along my life line and simply smiled, and said, “You don’t have too much to worry about for many years.” That was all I needed to know, because I tend to worry and if she has said “oh no that doesn’t look good,” I would have freaked.
My major focus was more on the upcoming future and where I’d be soon. When I asked about the next year or so, she replied that I would be moving away but she couldn’t really say where. Her overall impression though was that life would open new doors and I should just follow whatever I felt was right, and not to second guess myself.As I left Mrs. Rosa, I felt a lot better about my reading and the experience I had than I think Amanda did. Mrs. Rosa was just a lot more foretelling of events that might take place within my life. Now if her reading was accurate I cannot tell yet, and think that it may take some time before I know if she was right or wrong about certain situations. However, unlike Amanda I do think I may make another visit to Mrs. Rosa.
