Dedication
This book is dedicated to my family, whove stuck by me, encouraging me, loving me. Tom, you are my rock, both physically and mentally, and Im glad you listened to your intuition and didnt take no for an answer. Molly, my Molly Bug, you shine more than you can imagine as you are beautiful inside and out! And Samantha, my Nugget, you are blossoming and in the beginnings of a life filled with love and laughter. Together you are all the most incredible people I know!
Acknowledgments
Writing this, my third book, has been exciting and challenging! At times my fingers flew over the keyboard and other times I couldnt put a sentence together to save my life. I thank every other author who has come before me, experiencing the same ebbs and flows, but who persevered in order to get their words to the people who needed it. My sincere hope is that Ive done the samedelivered the messages to the people who need and desire to read them in a way we can all understand.
Ive had incredible teachers along the way. I consider these people to be not only mentors but also friends to whom Im grateful, and the entire Llewellyn familyespecially Angela Wix, a brilliant, kind, and patient editor, and Brett Fechheimer, who reads my drivel and helps me to make it better.
I know my mom, my best friend, is looking down, smilinghappy to help me meet my deadlines and pursue my desires that were once only wild fantasies. My radiant sister, Tammy, and her entire family have encouraged, questioned, and even chastised me when necessary during my writing process. And my brother, because I know somewhere he is rooting me on. For that, I am more than appreciative.
And, to my friends who understood my withdrawal into the writing zone and have encouraged me with cookies; I thank you, even if my waistline doesnt. And, Heather, one of these days you will believe. ;-)
Lastly, again, I would be nothing without my family. The books Ive written and the successes Ive had with my clients would mean absolutely nothing without the love and never-ending support Ive felt from my incredible husband, Tom, and my two beautiful, kind, intelligent daughters, light workers in their own right, Molly and Samantha.
Above all, thank you, the readers, for continuing to enjoy and share my books. Not only am I able to impart the wisdom and exercises Ive included in these pages, but you, the intuitive beings, are also helping me to grow and experience life in a whole new way!
Thanks to all and enjoy!
The only real valuable thing is intuition.

Reality
W hat do you mean? my client Sara asked me during a reading about five years ago.
Well, I have an image in my minds eye of you walking down the aisle with a wedding dress on, and Im hearing forty, I responded, knowing she wasnt going to much care for the answer to her question. Shed asked when she would meet the man she would marry.
Hmmm. That doesnt make sense to me. Im only thirty-six now. Maybe hes forty, she replied, hoping this was true.
Maybe. But Im hearing forty. Dont worry, itll be worth the wait! I exclaimed. I can also tell you that you will meet him through mutual friends and it has something to do with bicycles.
Okay, but Im going to assume its he who will be forty. I am not planning on waiting that long! she insisted.
Five years later, shes back in my office.
So, guess what? Youre never going to believe it, she laughed.
Oh, I think I will believe it, I chuckled back.
