I'd love to hear if there's anything at all you could tell me please There's alot of things going on & as always...I feel pretty hopelessly lost. In particular my love life (or lack of it) is something I always wonder about lol. Will anything good be happening there soon that you could see & if so....??? Thank you so much in advance & take care.
Dearest firewoman......
Your log-in name says it all...however, as much as you ARE a FIREWOMAN, you have fallen short of utilising the power that you have within to its full posibilites......
I sense a woman that is almost ALIVE inside,ready to burst forth, but holding on for the right opportunity.....
The right opportunity??????? Its NOW......while you hesitate to take action and get moving, put it down to habit.....the habit of WONDERING if it is indeed, the right time...and using any subsequent thoughts to doubt that timing....
You have only THIS lifetime to prove to yourself that you CAN do what you want...anything actually....because I liken you to JOSEPH and his AMAZING coat of MANY COLOURS.....I have a feeling that sometime in your youth that you identified with Joseph.....
Your creative side has only ever touched the sides....you have an enormous amount of untapped energy and ability to create something that is unique unto you....
I have this flash card that presents itself.....You standing in front of this huge canvas......the colours? RED, ORANGE, YELLOW with just a hint of the untouchable, the BLUES/TURQUOISE of high learning......flames (as in your name, FIREWOMAN.....and despite your log-in name, this SHOULD BE A LOGO to anything you create from this day forth.....it sums up the passion that you have, waiting to be acknowledged....
So....in a nutshell, PUT IT OUT THERE, my friend....design yourself a logo and go for gold......
You want to be remembered....many of us do....for when we pass we do not wish our lifetime, our efforts to be wasted but taken us guidance for all we know....
I also see you in AFRICA... PASTLIFE.......seems I see you as an African. woman, with many rings around her neck, standing tall and proud....beside her crouches the LEOPARD.........fast and highly intelligent in its ability to chase and kill what it wants....
As a firewoman persona, you are no match for any other woman when it comes to defending your own territory - ironically, you do this with cunning, swiftly and you make it know that NO MAN OR WOMAN touches what is NOT his or hers....
......your beliefs are FEW but meaningful....while you will give the fool three chances to prove themselves and then toss them into the lions den, you will not tolerate disloyalty, liars and thieves....
There is ONE woman around you, in awe of what you do, who you are....she is learning...she is quiet, comes to you often for guidance and younger than you....she takes in everything you share with her and takes in on board for future reference....SHE can be trusted....
There is a dark haired woman, and I do beleive that you are ONTO her, who is (or think she is), cunning and using you for her own devices...you need to continue to practise discernment here and learn NOT to share too much more of yourself, particularly if you plan on getting this business up and running.....
Lovelife...at the moment I do not sense a male around you that you live with....if I am wrong, then he does not present himself purely for the reason that while he is unassuming, he means no threat whatsoever to you and your space.....I cannot pick one up around you....
If there is NO man, then you have the opportunity to meet one in the near future, but the right man is not available UNTIL you get yourself on track for success....with success comes the empowerment to share and CARE what goes INTO a relationship...for you are GOOD at demanding guidelines so that things go well.....
You are organised although there is always ONE room in your house that you refer to as the PIGSTY!!!!!! Its basically where you throw all those things that are meaningless UNTIL you need them!!!! Perhaps the spare room and all the ironing!!!!
2008 is going to be a DOING year....you will brainstorm over a period of ONE week within the first tri-mester about what you are to create and within ONE month from that time, you will begin to source what is needed to get your project off the ground.....
I also see a little girl around you and question whether she is in spirit...she is about four years old, slim and dark ringleted hair pulled back in a ponytail, leaving hair ......she has blue eyes and I would say, she is an ANGEL.......she is with you often....NOT YOU is it, when you were a young girl?
I sense your childhood was HARSH and you learned the word REALITY very early on in the peace.....
I feel that you have ONE tattoo that signifies you - but possibly to do with a past life........CELTIC, perhaps...not sure...you may have to enlighten me here.....
I feel that there is ONE animal around you .....possibly the cat....and its a tiger......(tabby)....if not, possibly from your past......
I also see birds around you.....pigeons and doves....
There is elderly woman around you....moreso a guide than a rellie and she is about 70ish......short, AMERICAN INDIAN and she is doing a RAIN DANCE......her timing is impeccable and relates to the beat ....do you dance yourself? She tells you to spend a little time reflecting, acknowledging the pastlives you have lived, tapping into the universe for love and comfort when you feel alone, and realising that the strengths you do have, can be used for the good of the soul.......
Your monthly cycle empowers your passions....act on them...dont waste them.......
Cheers
Shona
Well your reading blew me away & still has me spinning abit whenever I re-read it....thank you SO much! There is alot in there that makes perfect sense and can't say I had expected all of that. Here's awee bit of history for ya ;o) DOB is 6.6.76.
There are alot of things in life I seem to be holding off on as I don't know what I should be doing...unfortunately I sometimes don't know & can't seem to find what I want. Work is a big part of that and I'm not working...but don't know what I want to do. Think I would've figured that out by now huh?! lol. Driving me abit mad and feel like I've almost missed the bus abit....does that even make sense?
I am pretty picky with whom I 'let in'...generally when I meet new people, I get a feeling from them, if it's good...I'll keep them with me no matter what and they end up being very special to me.
You're right too...there isn't a male living around me, I've been single for 10 years now. But I have very recently met someone who I like very much...hoping it might go somewhere?! But I do know I have to get myself on track, so it comes back to how.
I'm also shocking for spreading myself out around the house...organised chaos really
Not too sure about the wee girl just yet...I have red hair so can't be me, but there are alot of possibilities yet so will keep thinking about that one.
My childhood had it's ups & downs too, but nothing too dramatic.
Now the trippy part....I have 2 tattoos in a way...one is a celtic fairy type thingy, but don't think it's finished yet. The other I have almost had removed as it didn't quite turn out the way it was meant to (long story) It was also celtic. Have a long term plan for my own special tattoo...individual for me...but I can't draw lol. English, Irish, Scottish & Welsh roots showing through me thinks.
I was So happy you picked up on my wee angel...Tiger was my cat & she died almost 1 year ago now. She was a ginger tabby & had the most wonderful nature...I miss her very much. We still have to feed 'her birdy'..it's awee thrush she made friends with & every year for at least 4 years it would come & share Tigers' biscuits with her. Would hop over her back to get to them & if for any reason the bird didn't show up for a day...Tiger would sit & wait for her. You picking on on Tiger really was absolutely lovely...thank you xxx There is So much more I could write, but still taking it all in too. I really do appreciate everything Shona, thank you!
Hi Shona,
Would love a reading please when you have time - particulary my relationships
Many Thanks.
Kpm....
Hello, my friend.....
Oh the webs we weave!!!! Do you realise that to a HUGE extent we are the creators of all that around us???
Sometimes when we interpret life as being uncomfortable - yet try to make it right, but dont do this properly, the dis-ease continues to 'haunt' us......
In other words, though you clearly want to springclean your life, you are always hesitant to actually sever ties with people that draw the very life out of you......how come? Have you no confidence in your own self-worth as a person??? Do you think that you may not find any new friends to fill the void?
Do NOT ever worry about finding new friends....they are waiting.....
There is ONE female in particular that tends to always HARP on and on and on...yet you allow her to....she never gets anywhere, just moans about absolutely everything and right down to the weather that makes the grass green!!!!
You roll your eyes inwardly when she starts, but you dont stop her! You should try it - tell her "STOP IT!!! You're SOOOooooo negative...try something positive for once....Ive had enough of listening to your WOE IS ME when you CAN do good things or find good things in life!!!"....
Stop her in her tracks...time to change tact, direction and some friends....some are outworn and you are becoming tired feeding their habits.....
If you SERIOUSLY wish your life to get better....then SPRINGCLEAN, my friend.....EVERYTHING...
Your house, your wardrobe, your gardens and then start on your friends....by the time you have finished with the house and gardens you will be fired to put a stop to people that continually use you as a dump off -
You see, you have got yourself into a habit of just doing it....thinking you are helping....but stand back....there is no progress in allowing yourself to be used as the dumping ground for all their insecurities...so change it....
Once you REFRESH your idealisms in friends, you will soar.....
Time to get out and begin to look for NEW opportunites too......there will be a pamplet come through the mail shortly (say within three months), that will make you question whether its time to try something different....dont hesitate in giving it a go....you will REALLY enjoy it and its where you make a NEW friend....shes soooo positive and finds humor in everything.....shes determined not to grow old and sets about making life fun........join in....become part of living....
I sense an older woman around you, possibly an older sister or mother....shes related.....shes got dark hair (or had dark hair) and shes not happy in herself....perhaps a little too dependant on you to be there for her....she needs an interest...perhaps scrapbooking (it doesnt have to be expensive)...but gathering together all the photos she can lay her hands on and displaying them in a combined FAMILY album may just be the thing that will keep her mind occupied and hands busy....seems she suffers with a chest related illness or reoccuring disability that sees her short of breath....quite broad across the chest area......she will not change who she is.....just understand her and set to, to keep her occupied so that she does not drag so much from you....
I also sense children....forgive my limited brain retention but I do not store or hold alot of information in this brain of mine and so any earlier readings would not be known to me!!!!
I sense TWO children that are in NEED of you too.....goodness, you are bombarded with the needy huh? No wonder you feel like you are dragging a ball and chain most days!!!
Oh for sure you always try and point out that silver lining in those onimous gray clouds above, but you are the only one that can see them......dont let them out of your sight...they are your saving grace to get you through!!!
I havent heard you tumble down with laughter for ageeeeesssss....wheres that beautiful sense of humor gone to? Everyone elses woes get you down or take you under? Change that too....it IS easier than you think....when you feel tired or not wishing to hear others moans and groans (those repetetive ones), simply put your hand in the air at them and say politely "NOT today PLEASE, I need some QUIET time to get some peace into my life.....do you know any good jokes...?? I'd like to laugh today!!!"....and smile.....
SOmetimes habits are hard to break....you'll get there!!
Spiritually you are on a new path....one step up from realising that things NEED to change.....the next level is instigating those thoughts and CREATING a little of what you want in life....happiness....
Always make the effort to go outside, flowers or NO flowers and bring a little of mothernature into your home...clip some twigs or nice foliage, something that is interesting and 'alive'...flowers, flax, anything...green or colourful and put them in a vase on your table....remind yourself to look at them every now and then and say "Gee, they grew out there despite the weather - despite no tender loving care".....and then remember that you are similiar.....
Talking of tender loving care....wheres your man? How come I dont see arms around you when YOU REALLY NEED them!!!???? Gosh you do carry alot within yourself....
If you have a man....take advantage of your spare time (gee, whats that??) and say, "Love, I NEED a hug now please"....sometimes the world spins so fast that we havent time to read eachothers minds and do what it takes to keep the other happy....look after YOU....you are so valuable to all those around you....you ask little but people expect alot...time to take back some of YOUR OWN TIME...for YOU...dont ever begrudge yourself time.
If you have no man at present (forgive my inattention to any posts or earlier readings), then hes not far off .....say, within six months....quite by chance actually.....and if YOU DO have a man, then he will go through a productive change within himself within that time and 'come back" to the common ground that you USED TO share - a little bit more thoughtful and with a surprise under his arm.......
There is an elerly woman of about 85 coming forth...thick white hair and tied back other wise she could look quite unkempt.....shes shuffling her feet with the aid of a walking frame and when she finally reaches to you, she stops and pulls her head UP from her stooped position, and through rather squinted eyes, she says,
"Darl, here comes Christmas ....pops favourite time of the year....family time....the gathering....oh such beautiful times from memory....never a dull moment at Christmas and God ALWAYS provided....sometimes it does no harm to pray and ask for a little help.....we always did and it got us through....when the chips are down and you are feeling a little in the dark, on your own....pray for a light.....it does work....I have seen that light many times in my lifetimes......and still I continue to work with it!!!!! There are roses in the garden......my favourites were the lemons and mauves....I suppose you only need look at something so gorgeous to realise that there is something to give thanks for...it comes in small packages but the rewards of appreciation is the GREATEST gift of all......you have many that stand beside you in your trials....eat well and pray regularly....love
Nanxxx"
Im not too sure whether she is actually your nana or your Great Nana...you may have to confirm to me on this one....I think she suffered a mental disability towards the end of this physical lifetime....shes a quiet elderly lady.....a firm disciplinarian in her younger years....she used to 'crack the whip!'........she laughs and leaves you something at your feet.....the herbs ROSEMARY and SAFFRON....(symbolism???Dont know).....
2008 is (like many) a new beginning for you because you have had enough of the stale life you have lived to date....while there have been the good times, and you have had cause to celebrate the odd thing, overall, you know that it could have been better.....
I send you Angels of decision.....Angels to kick butt into action and Angels to offer support of those decisions.....to get ahead, one must TAKE the FIRST steps, one must be STRONG and realise ones WORTH in knowing that whatever you do, when you work with a truthful and loyal heart, life rewards you ......in time....always in time.....
I see a baby around you within THREE YEARS....it is a little girl. Not sure if this is yours or someone close to you.
I hear the names Mary-Jane and Thomas....do not know where or who these relate to....in the past or the present, have no idea....
The number FOUR is significant to you.
In MArch next year, a caution to watch health symptoms and go to the doctor for a checkup.....
Meanwhile, take care....the year ahead, once decisions are made, and followed through will bring you so much self--confidence and success, you will be almost flying......
Which reminds me....there is someone overseas coming to pay a visit....
Regards
Shona
Hi Shona,
Thanks so much for my reading WOW! You are one gifted special lady.
You were spot on in regards to my situation. I am in the midst of spring cleaning my life (marriage break up) and I am surrounded by more needy people. The female that continually harps on (my mother) - that's her personality to a T!! She is dependant on me (you were spot on)
Obviously where I am at the moment I am looking at career options (so I'll look out for that pamplet!!!)
I have three children, but two are more in need of me, but I don't feel as though there will be any major issues with them.
Love the idea of someone coming into my life! :) (Where are you!!! :) )Then of course my nana, she was very religious and your words reminded of just the sort of thing she would say to me. I believe she stands with me and guides me
Don't recognise the names May-Jane/Thomas - maybe they're coming into my life! 2008 will be a year of change and decisions, but all positive!! Onwards and upwards I say!
Someone coming from overseas is highly probable (my brother, spoke to him a few weeks ago and he is talking about visiting in Feb/March).
So again - thank you Shona
