It's Only Life

 Going out to work is out of the question as I work in clubs, theaters and pubs, which due to the current situation are not open for entertainment. I did try working the psychic phone lines again as a aid to dwindling finances but, although the first night was amazing, subsequent logins have left me feeling depleted. Sitting for two or three hours waiting for a phone to ring is definitely not for me. I really hate wasting precious time.  After suffering from deep depression in 1999, which resulted in a complete breakdown, and which was followed by another in 2003, as a now functioning depressive, I have to psyche myself up to engage with people.This enables me to get stuck in, and work for the amount of time I have prepared myself for. Which means that while I am constantly working I am fine, but if I have to sit and wait for something that may or may not happen it throws me off kilter. Another problem with working the telephone lines, is that among the genuine people who are ...

While on a weekend away in London, having some laughs about the past with a friend, I realised how wrongly certain topics could be perceived by others. As a psychic/spiritual reader you make a conscious, or unconscious, oath to abide by the rule of confidentiality and 99 % of the time this is so; in fact you would be hard pressed to remember most of the readings you give. But, what of that other 1%? The 1 % is made up of readings that have stood out in your mind because they are extremely traumatic, bizarre, funny or otherwise memorable. Due to the volume of readings I have given over the years the ratio of these types of readings is quite high. It is natural that you would feel the urge to tell someone but obviously as a professional you would not share the intimate details of someone’s life with the world and its wife. As a teacher these incidents provide a valuable learning curve not just for my students but for myself. When you are helping to bring others into the world o...

I wrote my first book when I was just 8 years old it was an anthology which I illustrated myself, it was for a class end of term school project. I remember leaving it until the last minute and sat up until two in the morning to get it finished to take to school that day. My mum was not very happy as she had to stay up with me. But the hard work paid off and I got an A+. Unfortunately the school hung on to the book for a parent/teacher evening and I never saw it again. Since then I have written many articles, poems and stories, several of which have been published and I have been paid for. One of my stories was published in the Brixton Prison magazine “True Colours.” I have published four pamphlet size books (A Little Bit of Spirit, A Little Bit of Soul, Ghostly Experiences and When Spirit Calls) which are now out of print. The full version (38000 words) of When Spirit Calls....you answer was first published as an ebook on Smashwords in 2013 (where it is still available); mainly ...

When some people enter the psychic world they think it is an easy way to make money They don't realise the path is littered with pain (both physical and emotional), hate, fear, jealousy, deceit, poverty, hard work loneliness, grief and sometimes even danger. If it is not all love and light why do we do it? We do it because there are people out there who really do need help and guidance sometimes these people pay for our services, sometimes they are our one for spirit (our giving back). The sheer joy and elation you feel from helping someone far outweighs all the bad. We are not talking about ego here we are talking about an overwhelming sense of happiness and peace. In the course of my work I often have information that has been gained through psychic or mediumistic means that needs to be passed on but has to be fine tuned before it is ready to be presented to the appropriate authorities or other parties. No-one fully understands the sorrow that overwhelms you when you experien...

Brenda Diskin Just now  ·  Due to rather a heavy load on my shoulders recently I have allowed myself to fall into a crevice within which I turn my attention to mindless things, such as playing solitaire. This doesn't help to sort things out, it just blanks them out and induces idleness of mind, body, spirit and soul. Life is hard, sometimes it is downright crap but masking the bad stuff doesn't take it away, it just puts it off to a later date. So time to pull myself together and concentrate on unfinished projects, making ends meet and doing what I do best.

Lately, I have noticed the number of people who appear to be attempting to become published writers. I suppose with the state of the economy everyone is trying to make money in whatever way they can, with many aiming to be the new J K Rowling or Stephen King. Although I have several friends who have managed, successfully to forge a writing career there are many that haven’t. I have been writing since I was in junior school, for sixty years in fact. Even though I have had some success with poetry, articles, short stories and academic works I am still trying to get that novel written and published. My main problem at the moment is distribution of time, trying to juggle writing for fun and profit with studying for an academic degree. The best advice I can give anyone who wants to write, for whatever reason, is read as many books as possible and enrol on a good writing course. If you cannot afford a writing course, then join a good writers group run by an experienced published ...
