Honing in on your psychic self

Because I missed my stop in the last post I found myself marching the streets of West Hollywood to get back to where I was supposed to be. The Starbucks on Santa Monica Blvd. just north of La Cienega was packed! Found out from reader, Jacob, that it's because there are many people vacationing this time of year - and the Ramada is right next door.

Jacob, who normally stakes out inside the Starbucks for his reading found himself sitting outside that day because the tourists have squeezed him out. But it was a nice, beautiful, crisp morning with many cute dogs trotting about with their owners so one can't really complain.

Jacob is reading "Discover Your Psychic Type" by Sherrie Dillard. Interestingly enough, I was on the phone with my bestie, Karen, telling her about my upcoming trip to San Francisco over Labour Day weekend and she told me that she would be attending a retreat that Saturday. What kind of retreat? One where she will be DISCOVERING HER PSYCHIC SELF! Interesting indeed!


Dillard's book is about how to discover your inner psychic. There are 4 types of psychic: mental, emotional, physical...and Jacob couldn't tell me the 4th because he hasn't gotten that far yet :) He also shared that he used to go on spiritual retreats but not so much anymore. Jacob is also reading Prayer: How to Pray Effectively from the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes

You can usually find Jacob reading books on spirituality. He tries to read every spiritual book he encounters along the way. And from time to time you may catch him indulging in biographies.

Growing up he enjoyed reading "Beautiful Bible Stories". It was his nighttime reading as a child. I just tried looking up the author just now and not sure which one it could be since there are many "Beautiful Bible Stories" out there.

If he could write a book of his own it would be a spiritual book.

Whose biography did you enjoy reading? I personally love Zelda by Nancy Milford, a biography of Zelda Fitzgerald. That woman was a firecracker - I love it!
