The first time I met Marie was when I joined a local women’s business network sometime around 2013. As we went around the table introducing ourselves and explaining our business, it was stunning to learn that Marie was a clairvoyant. I thought to myself, “A clairvoyant? In a legitimate women’s business networking group? What the heck?!” Then, over the course of several months, I began hearing stories from other members of the group – stories of readings where Marie predicted the untimely death of a parent, unexpected financial windfalls and sudden business expansion, and even a member’s eventual move into state legislation.Since that first reading, I have hired Marie for a reading each year, just to see what might be possible, and if there’s anything I need to be concerned about. What I have come to understand is that sometimes what she sees are possibilities -- not everything she sees comes true, but even the possibilities always make a great deal of sense.Last year, during a reading over the phone while I was on vacation (Marie can provide readings over the phone just as clearly as she can in person), I told Marie that I had been feeling my deceased mom around me, a lot. This was highly unusual. I had no idea what it meant, or if it was even true. Maybe it was just in my head?Within a few seconds Marie said, “I see her. She’s holding a book – a thick book with very thin pages. A Bible? It doesn’t feel like a Bible.”“It isn’t a Bible,” I said, knowing immediately what it was. “It’s a collection of William Shakespeare’s plays.”It was a book my mom purchased when she put herself through undergraduate school 50 years prior. She minored in Shakespeare. It was one of the few books from my Mom’s library that I had kept after she died.“She’s holding the book,” Marie continued. “She opens it. She rips out a section from the middle, and then she’s putting her head in her hand like she’s embarrassed. Could it be a Bible and somehow she was embarrassed about your coming out as gay late in life?”“No. No way,” I replied. “And I’m pretty sure it’s not a Bible.”“Huh. Weird,” Marie probably said, and the reading continued on to other things.Marie will often try to make sense of what she sees, but again…even she doesn’t always understand what she’s seeing.After the vacation, once I was back home, I found the Complete Works of William Shakespeare in a closet. In the middle of the book, two of the plays had been cut out then stapled and stuck back inside the book. Also there was a 10-15 year old advertisement torn from the newsletter of local independent bookstore about Bluebird: Women and the New Psychology of Happiness by Ariel Gore. I immediately ordered a used copy from Amazon.I have recommended Marie to many people, and I do so without reservation. She is doing especially interesting work with dogs, horses and dressage riders. I look forward to next year’s reading when she will catch me up on all the things going on in her life and how she’s continued to make a positive difference, and to hear what the future possibilities are for me, my family and my business.
