Revealing The Unspoken Family Secrets

During my visit to my sister's home, I found myself seated at the kitchen table with my two nephews. Meanwhile, my brother-in-law diligently attended to the dishes at the sink, and my sister busied herself preparing a cup of tea. Amidst the bustling activity, conversation flowed naturally between us when suddenly, one of my nephews posed an intriguing question.

Do You Believe in Ghosts?

He was 21 at the time and started working at a home for special needs adults. He swore it was haunted and asked me if I believed in ghosts. I glanced over at my sister and she nodded at me with approval. She knew what I was asking without me saying a word. She knew that I didn't know if it was OK for my nephews and brother in law to know my secret.

I looked back at my nephew and replied,"Yes, I believe in spirits."

"Why did you look at mom before you answered?" A logical question that all the boys were curious to know the answer too.

I began to explained to my nephew, in the company of his younger brother and his dad, that I am a medium. That I have been my entire life. Born this way and continually learning how to understand and control my abilities.

My nephew made a face like I had just given him the final piece to a puzzle he couldn't figure out.

"The mirror thing makes so much sense now."

Why Not Tell My Own Family?

This is a question I have no good, solid answer for. My only guess is that the shit that happens to you when you are a kid really does stick with you. My horrible nightmares of demons, and murder and torture (Yes these were my dreams as a child), really got to me. I sometimes felt if I talk about certain things I would have to deal with the crap that came with it. If I let everyone know of my abilities I would then have to deal with the nightmares and demons doing whatever then can to scare me into silence. I know this probably sounds crazy, it does to me as I type it, but sometimes the more you embrace the good the more you have to deal with the bad. Kinda like, Mo' Money Mo' Problems.

However, sometimes 1 dream can change the course of your fears........

That dream and its impact on my decision to embrace my abilities will be published in Fridays Blog........If you aren't subscribed yet, what are you waiting for?
