Mind post: My psychic encounter

So the day before I turned 28 (shudder) I visited a medium/clairvoyant - I guess I was in search of answers, 28 (rightly or wrongly) is a milestone for me.

I had only ever seen a psychic once before (it was actually the same one I saw this week). The first time I saw her, which was at least two and a half years ago, my reading was incredibly accurate. This time though, whilst some things she told me were spot on, I felt the majority of the reading was a bit vague and would apply to pretty much anyone, basically I wasn't sold. I was hoping to come out of there feeling more positive and reassured. Particularly because (and here's one of those things that need to change that I alluded to in my first post), I went through a really long, really complicated and very messy split from someone that I loved very much (and if I'm honest, I still do) and I was hoping that my reading would help me move on but it done the opposite. This person has been in my life a LONG time, and we have been off and on more times than I can count, each time I end up getting hurt. I was holding out of the reading to tell me that I will move on, that he wouldn't be the 'one' but instead she told me that we will be apart for a long time, I will meet other men that will in their own way make me happy but I come back to Mr Complicated eventually.  Hmmph.

Well, destiny shmestimy...I decide how my future pans out so sod that reading. I'm moving on. Tomorrow I begin a three day detox (just juices and supplements - will fill you in later), I am going to crank up my fitness and get trim and healthy (and most importantly, feeling like me again) and I'm hoping to rediscover my confidence at the same time and then I am going to put myself out there and meet someone new. Take that Psychic!

The Beginning... well sort of

It's the beginning in so much that it's a fresh start. Yesterday, I turned 28! 28 was always the year I thought of when I was younger as being the age when I would be a 'proper' adult and would have everything figured out in my life. Well, my 28th came and went (in the midst of more than a few bottles of wine) and I'm not half as 'figured' out as I assumed I would be.

Here's the thing.... on the whole I'm happy; I love my job, it's forever interesting and challenging, I get to be creative and I get to travel a bit and I have an incredible network of friends and family, I am truly blessed to have such people in my life that I love so much. However, (and you knew this was coming otherwise this would be a pretty useless blog about change), there is room for improvement...

And so this is wear this blog comes in...  I'm going to document the changes I bring about, simple as. 

Oh, and in case you are curious, my blog title comes from a song by John Lee Hooker ad Carlos Santana, Google it, it's good.
