Readers Studio 2012 Rundown—Part 2

For Part 1 of this series, see here.

In the morning I rose bright and early for the breakfast roundtable with Nancy Antenucci. I may be getting to the point of VIP stalker status with Nancy. As I sipped my coffee (aka lifeblood) I listened to people tell their “tarot stories”—stories that had an impact. Nancy said before she opened up the floor to other people that the stories of “That was a wonderful experience” or “I’ll never do THAT again” were the best kinds of stories to tell, because in them contained lessons. The stories that people shared ran the gamut of reading tarot in Italy with a translator and clients using their one phone call in lockup to call the reader to tell them they were right. Some stories were sad and some caused laughter to spread across the room, but each one of them made me think. Continue reading »

Readers Studio 2012 Rundown—Part 1

Readers Studio started a little differently for me this year. Last year, my friend Courtney and I were up far too early on the Friday morning to watch the Royal Wedding before heading to the conference, leading us to consume massive amounts of coffee once we arrived in order to stay awake. This year, I drove myself down to the conference from my home about 45 minutes away. I still needed the massive amounts of caffeine, however (some things never change). Continue reading »

Preparing for Readers Studio

It's entirely possible that this is how many bags I'll have by the end of the weekend.

It’s been a wild and wacky year of tarot, business, networking, and self-reflection. This weekend the Wheel (of Fortune) comes full circle, and I will be attending Readers Studio for the second time. I will not be on pins and needles this weekend, waiting for the results of the Tarot Apprentice contest. I will not be the shy new wallflower, hanging back and not making a peep, afraid to voice my opinions because I am a young(er) tarot reader. I will be full-throttle Hilary. Continue reading »

How I (Almost) Ruined My Marriage Proposal—Part 1

I may be jumping the gun or tempting fate by posting this before I have the ring on my finger, but I couldn’t wait to kick off a series of posts about how I may or may not have ruined my chances of a marriage proposal in the future. I love my boyfriend… I love him even more that he puts up with an abnormal girlfriend prone to listening to her gut and reading for other people! The fallout of doing so many readings is my psychism increases in other ways, with or without the cards. Therefore my boyfriend (the poor guy) can’t get away with anything. It also is very hard for him to make any surprise plans for me. If I sense anything is amiss, my telepathy/psychism goes into overdrive to determine what’s going on.
