Sandy's May 2019 Editorial

Hello Everyone,

As you all know, I cancelled my annual Psychic Cruise last January.

At the time, I had no idea why I 'needed' to cancel it, only that I had inner pressure that said, "It is not a good thing to go on this cruise at this time".

It felt a sort of inner resistance. A tendency towards negativity about it that didn't make sense. We were scheduled to visit some ports I'd never been to before and really wanted to see. When I pushed myself to look at those destinations online I just couldn't get excited about them. I kept feeling like I just didn't want to leave home.

I'd even been dragging my feet about scheduIing events for our psychic group while on the cruise, something I love to do. I told myself I was just too busy to get to it...but even when I made time and sat down with the things I needed to create the onboard itinerary my mind turned to soup. I couldn't focus. I kept putting the cruise out of my mind. I just didn't want to think about it.

The signs were all there. In every way my Higher Self and my Guides were saying, don't go on this cruise. I was getting the message, but didn't want to address it.

You see I usually follow these inner feelings religiously, just as I teach my students to..but this message was hard to listen to. Our Psychic Cruise this year involved so many other people who'd registered for this cruise with its great itinerary nearly a year before, who'd booked their vacations around it, even many who'd booked their airfare to Tampa, where the cruise was scheduled to leave from. For returning cruisers it's an opportunity for a reunion with people they only get to see once a year! How could I do it to them? How could I cancel. Just too many people were involved.

But then I remembered the mistake of my first marriage. Just as with the cruise, I had all those same feelings of warning, but because so many guests were scheduled to come to the wedding I went through with it and endured six years of a very difficult and unfortunate marriage before I finally paid attention to that inner voice and left.

So when the time came to make full payments, I chose to announce to my Psychic Cruise guests that the cruise was cancelled on my end, and I would not be in attendence. Some cruisers still went, as it was a lovely itinerary. Most however also cancelled, thinking that if Sandy the Psychic Channel wasn't going, there must be good reason to avoid that cruise!

But I still wasn't getting any concrete reasons to cancel. Just those nebulous but obvious feelings. So I waited to see what would transpire. I have learned over the years not to jump to conclusions when these kinds of impressions grab me. Instead, I wait. I thought, if there was going to be a major calamity, I would have had a much more intense feeling, and an inner need to inform everyone not to go. I didn't feel that. My feelings were far more subtle. Evidently whatever was going to transpire didn't affect the ship. Just myself, and perhaps other important members of my team.

So I decided to recount this situation here. I was encountering inner turmoil that I am sure is familiar to you. I felt a powerful need to take action, but didn't know why. And frankly wasn't really sure what action to take! All of us often find ourselves in these kinds of situations, and because we don't have solid guidance that tells us exactly what we should do and why, we push against our feelings and end up in a situation we don't want to be in. Our Guides don't always give us the why's or the how's. They most often give us the FEELINGS. When we follow the feelings, the impressions, we live a healthy, happy life. When we don't, our life usually becomes unhappy and filled with turmoil.

I know you are waiting to hear what transpired in April, when I should have been on our Psychic Cruise. It turned out to be many things. That is one reason my Guides didn't define what the problem was. It was easier to send me 'don't go' than to send me the laundry list of things in my world that were going to become big problems if I wasn't home.

The two biggest things were both health issues.

First, my onboard psychic cruise director ended up undergoing major surgery that week.

Second, my husband also had major surgery and needed support at home.

Then of course, a whole world of other things flowed from those two major issues, as you can imagine. As it turned out, I was glad I was home to handle all the work and business that was planned that my husband was unable to address. If I wasn't there, there would have been an enormous amount of difficulty at home.

Second, it removed stress from a wonderful friend, my cruise director.

Third, without my cruise director present, the cruise itself would have been very difficult for me to manage in a way that met everyone's expectations.

Last but surely not least, my personal assistant whom you all know is an enormous support in all that I do, got sick too.

So you see the reason for the nebulous feeling "don't go" is because nothing was going to happen to the ship, nothing was going to happen to me, but if I went, there would have been a great deal of unpleasantness in my life and the lives of many of the people who would have gone, and others who remained at home.

Many benefits have come from this as well. The Psychic Cruise WILL be rescheduled and will be better than ever next year...and we are also considering a land-based reunion. Look for more information on both of those coming soon.

I wanted to share this little scenario with you because many folks ignore their intuition. Perhaps now you will pay more attention to yours. Also, my students and clients seem to think I know everything and that's why things in my life usually flow. It is not so much a 'knowing everything' that is the gift that allows that flow. It is the self-trust that allows me to be clear on my feelings, even the nebulous ones, and to act on them without jumping to conclusions that could be in error.

I just love our psychic world. It is a never ending delight filled with constant discovery, self growth and constant personal evolution.

Love and Light,
