June 2015. My mobile phone had been beeping almost non-stop for hours. Suitcase in tow, I smiled. Hang on, guys, my hands are full now!<\/em>\u00a0But my SMS and WhatsApp notifications kept up their merry tones\u00a0as I entered Suntec Convention Hall for the inaugural Public Garden Consumer Trade Show.<\/p>\n

Once I\u2019d finished setting up my booth, I could finally reply to the texts and a couple of missed calls. I knew what most of these would be asking me: Kelly, are you there yet? Where\u2019s your booth? How long is the queue? I\u2019ll get you something to eat, what would you like? <\/em><\/p>\n

(Much love to the wonderful clients and friends who remind me to take meals\/breaks during Public Garden events\u2026 you know who you are!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I\u2019d barely sat down when the first seeker turned up. And so the day began.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

A reading is really a very simple thing. Even more so when it\u2019s only fifteen minutes long, in the middle of a buzzing hipster market.<\/p>\n

I begin every reading with a simple prayer of intention for the highest love and light to touch the seeker\u2019s life. Then, I hold the cards in my hands and cleanse them with prayer, clearing out all old energies and filling them with God\u2019s light so that they will be a pure, clear channel for Spirit to convey the best guidance, healing and insight to the seeker.<\/p>\n

Then the reading starts\u2026 And once it begins, anything goes<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the seeker asks a question and chooses the cards to obtain Spirit\u2019s answers. Sometimes the cards pop up by themselves while I\u2019m shuffling. Sometimes guardian Angels, Spirit guides and deceased loved ones<\/em><\/strong> come forward to channel messages through me, without waiting for the cards!<\/p>\n

But one thing all these phenomena have in common: they occur as signs<\/strong> \u2013 for us to understand that Spirit is on our side and wants only the best for us. That we are loved and not alone. That we have the right, responsibility and power to co-create our destinies.<\/p>\n

And that in the larger scheme of things, no matter how badly our lives seem to toss and turn \u2013 the Universe is kind. All will be well.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, Kelly!\u201d It was Alexis, a client of mine. Beside her was another young woman who kept her head lowered and hidden under her cap.<\/p>\n

– Hey babe. Here for a reading?<\/p>\n

\u201cNot for me today but could my friend CeeCee just\u2026 cut the queue? I saw eight names on the waiting list and she can\u2019t wait that long.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Sorry babe, I would love to do you a favour but I have to be fair. For public events I only accept walk-ins, no appointments, and no cutting the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I smiled conciliatorily at Alexis, who smiled and nodded understandingly. Behind her, CeeCee glanced up shyly but didn\u2019t look at me. Her face was drawn and tired, her eyes sad and dark. She was beautiful, but damaged\u00a0– a swan who’d convinced herself she was an unloved and ugly duckling.<\/p>\n

CeeCee whispered into Alexis\u2019 ear and left quickly. \u201cSorry about that, Kelly,\u201d Alexis said as we watched her blend into the crowd. \u201cCeeCee says she\u2019ll book a reading with you next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

– No worries, babe. Anyway, that\u2019s my two-minute break over. Next, please!<\/em><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

Hannah crept into the hall fifteen minutes before the Consumer Trade Show ended. She stood by uncertainly, watching me as I finished up a reading.<\/p>\n

Then the other seeker got up and left. Hannah froze for a moment, then stepped up to my booth while I was cleansing the cards in prayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, Kelly.\u201d Her voice was flat and faltering \u2013 the voice of a woman who hadn\u2019t slept for days. \u201cI\u2019ve been following your Facebook page for a while. I\u2019ve never had a reading before, but I need help.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d already given twenty readings in six hours that day. I was exhausted. But one look at Hannah\u2019s anguished face, and I knew I could give one more.<\/p>\n

I smiled, and began shuffling.
\n– Sure, hun. Sit down.<\/p>\n

Almost instantly, the cards began to pop out of the deck.
\nCrisis. Adultery. Heartbreak. Suicide. Abandonment.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t need to go into the details. But Hannah came seeking help from Spirit at a desperately low point in her life, and Spirit came through for her powerfully – in perfect love, compassion and clarity. As I gave her a hug before she left, Hannah turned her tear-streaked face towards me and whispered, brokenly:<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for what you do. Thank you. Thank you<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

So why do I do what I do?<\/p>\n

Simple: because I love it. It’s my calling: connecting ordinary people with the extraordinary love and light of Spirit.<\/strong> And guess what?\u00a0If you’re in Singapore, and you\u2019ve always wondered what it\u2019s like to have a Tarot reading with me…<\/p>\n

I’ll be at the Public Garden Consumer Trade Show this weekend on 24-25 Sept 2016, <\/a>offering quickie Angel\/Tarot card readings! Details here<\/a> + below. See you there! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n
