I didn&#8217;t always see them so much, but I could hear. It upset me. They were never unkind or anything, I didn&#8217;t fear them, I feared the living. What would people think of me? Would they think I was crazy? Hearing voices? I did my best to keep it quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I am older and have experienced so much more, I am letting it be known that I do this. I have seen how it can help people and I&#8217;d like to be able to help. My fears have gone from caring about what people think of me to the fear of letting people down. I gave my first reading last night. One in which I simply sat down with the client, we poured a cup of tea and I listened. I was worried that I wouldn&#8217;t pick up on anyone or that no one would show up. I needn&#8217;t have worried. It was quite a busy night.<\/p>\n<p>I can hear spirits, I don&#8217;t control them. I can&#8217;t force them to show up. And if they show up, I can&#8217;t force them to talk. I don&#8217;t decide who steps into the room and it might not have been who you had hoped for.\u00a0 As I have more successes I&#8217;m feeling better about what I do. Life is a strange thing. So many twists and turns. But for me it&#8217;s really nice to know, really know, that once the body dies it isn&#8217;t the end. And although our loved ones seem to be gone after they die, you might be surprised to learn\u00a0that they are much closer than you think.\u00a0 (photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sol\/homepage\/news\/4707807\/Gran-stunned-by-ghost-of-her-late-husband-in-family-pic.html\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early on in my life I learned that\u00a0I could hear dead people.
