Stuck between Generations

Learning the Value of Ideas
I’ve often been thanked for giving away ideas, lots of ideas including ideas that other people have made lots of money with. And instead of saying, “You’re welcome,” I’ve simply answered that it was no problem because I get lots of ideas and they’re free. Here I sit with a stellium in Aquarius, and…

Is This Where I Get It From?
Granddaddy hasn’t been around as much in the past 8 or 9 months, but I figure he’s needed elsewhere or maybe he’s simply coming to me in different ways. It’s now been 11 years since he passed, and one of the things I learned from him last year was that the Dead can be in…

A-Ha Moments

Finding My Rhythms
The body’s natural rhythms should be discovered and respected, whether it’s sleeping, eating, ovulating…whatever. I’ve had problems with insomnia for several years but always just dealt with it. During the break-up of my marriage, I had to resort to sleeping pills—something I’d never done before—because I couldn’t get my mind to stop grinding long…

CLICK: Fast-Forwarding Through Life
The movie I saw yesterday struck a nerve—it was a comedy that had me in tears, and that surprised me. It reminded me of something I discovered when my dad was in the Intensive Care Unit several years ago and I got to see a lot of dying patients and see what was important to…

Energetic Connections and Chakras
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Crimes to the Third Degree. If you’re not psychic, think Tesla. Think unified field theory. Think physics. Think energy patterns and maybe even satellite communications signals, which is what it’s most closely related to. If you are psychic, you’re with me already…. Or think of the mother-child bond…

Epiphany #48,289,837
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Crimes to the Third Degree. Ironic, isn’t it? Some of the best intuitives I’ve ever known cannot see for themselves and help themselves in the same way they see for and help other people. At a Friday spiritual Gathering, I offhandedly mention how often I’ve been berated for…
