I Believe in Magic!

Okay, I'm sure I'm going to lose some of you here. I know I will. But I hope not. Because I have a confession to make. Yes, I actually have something to share that could alienate people more than dating an ex-convict, walking out of a job, and being a cheerleader...oh, and sorority girl. (For some reason, I forgot to mention that one...?) And those people would basically include 99.9% of the people I'm related to... so don't feel bad. It's this: I believe in Magic. Or Magick. The kind that Magick Lady does. Because she works.

It's funny to me, really. People will buy Ab Loungers or Ab Doo Hickeys without batting an eye. But give them something that sounds a little "out there" and suddenly they don't care if it works or not. Even if it doesn't take up space in their living room or garage. They're thrown off the scent. I have no idea what that's about. Logic? What is logic really? And does logic always work?

I'm not going to lie. I have a VERY open mind. Which being that I'm a white girl from Orange County should make people stand up and take notice. Are you? Noticing? Well, you should. 1. I work very hard for my money. As is evidenced by every post I've ever posted. 2. I've also been to a woman who said she talked to angels who kind of freaked me out. I've also been to an energy healer, a feng shui specialist, a vedic astrologer and transformational clairvoyant. I know, I know... If you're anything like my friend Steve, you're saying "good use of 100, 200, 250 bucks...whatever." But here's the thing. It is. And I know. Because it makes me feel better.

I've spent half my life looking for answers. And my questions were not so strange. They ran along the lines of how to fit in, how to find love, get my writing career on track, figure out what the heck a parent is supposed to do, figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do... There were more things. I'm sure. There are always more. And there are always more places to look for answers.

Sure I went to a therapist like most normal folk. And it was hard work that worked for awhile. But therapists-- well, they're not free either. And after awhile you're just buying the woman shoes and talking about hypotheticals. (Oh sorry, that was me!). And talking and talking. Did I mention the talking? Sometimes, you just get tired of talking. If you're like me, you want to do... something. And you want to see what you do brings change. Now, there's a concept.

That's the thing. I'm not a total masochist. I like results. I also like hope. And in today's world, the places you get it are few and far between. There's so much information out there. But not so much hope. So if someone can give it to you. SINCERELY give it to you (that's the test) and help you get where you want to go, then why not believe? Why not give it a shot? So after I read about Magick Lady, I went to Magick Lady. And things happened. Things in my life, they became unstuck. I became unstuck. I started to write. I came up with ideas. I got rid of things that weren't working for me. My friends? Well, they noticed. Now? Well, they're going to her and they're unstuck, too. So what's it all about? It's this: she helps shift your energy to a good place. To get what you want. And she helps you believe it can happen. She promotes change. (And reads tarot cards, which is very cool. Because that's about seeing your future.) I'm sure there will be naysayers who think we're all bonkers. I'm thinking my mother is probably one of them. (Seriously though, at this point, she just humors me). But everyone has different versions of their own reality. And different things that will make them feel better.

Some people read their horoscopes on a daily basis (I do! elle.com-- the best!). Some people take vitamins. Okay, that's medically proven to be good for you. Alot of women get manicures and pedicures weekly. Others get their hair blown dry straight at a salon a few times a week even though it costs a fortune because when they do, they feel good about themselves. And when they feel good about themselves, it makes them feel like they can conquer the world. You know what? More power to them. Whatever works. Whatever makes them happy and gets them where they want to go in life. The vedic astrologer? Sure, he saw things about my life-- my parents' lives,both my past and my future-- just by reading my natal chart. He also saw that from 2003 to 2005 my life would look like nothing I'd ever known, that I was a late bloomer and up until now (until this very moment... kidding) my life would be full of obstacles, suffering and delay. But he didn't tell me how to get through it or how to make it better. That's where Magick Lady comes in. And since I don't have the patience or time for weekly manicures and pedicures and my hair is already straight... why not?

You are bonkers. So what? The longer I live the more I see why people drink, do drugs, see shrinks, go to church or visit witch doctors. And the more I realize there are very few of us who are not nuts.

For good reason.

It's a painful world out there and getting harsher every day. It's becoming harder and harder for me to blame people for finding comfort wherever they can.
