Aqua – The Most Wonderful Color in the World
When I was young, probably five years old or so, I was given a chocolate brown dress. You might wonder the significance of this brown dress because what little girl wears brown? What a boring color for a little girl! Well, the adornment on the dress was stripes of aqua colored piping which ran across the bodice. In my little mind, I thought that the aqua piping was the most beautiful color I had ever seen. To this day (over 50 years later) I still think back fondly about that dress and realized it was the beginning of an understanding how color can affect our lives, and how we can instinctively resonate with the colors around us.
Before I became known as the “aqua lady”, I wallpapered one of the master bedroom walls in my home with stripes of light brown, Aqua and white. The color combination has always reminded me of the ocean, which brings me peace. The adjoining bathroom is also brown, aqua and white. The main bathroom in the home is a brown, aqua and white beach combination with shells and a beach scene. On the shelf in that bathroom are chocolate brown and aqua towels, the exact colors of the dress I wore many years before. Yes, I’m obsessive! Lol
When I first began doing readings professionally in my home I painted lavender roses as a border at the top of the walls in my reading room. Then, about four years ago, I was in the Tampa area and visited a metaphysical store. On one of their walls was a peacock tree. A tree was painted, but the leaves were made out of peacock feathers. Having had professional experience as a decorative artist, I came home and immediately changed the decor of my reading room. Because of my aqua obsession and my love of peacocks (because of the aqua/teal) I had a new design for my reading room. I duplicated the peacock tree that I saw in Tampa but embellished it with more feathers. Since then, clients, students, and family have lovingly gifted me peacock and aqua decorations for the room. I have to say, that the aqua is now spilling out into other areas of my home, which is fine with me. I don’t know how my husband thinks about it, but I’m in my happy place.
I’m happy to be the “Aqua lady”. People may not recognize my face when I’m out in public, but they have approached me inquiring if I’m the psychic medium they see online, because I’m often wearing Aqua. Who knew that 50+ years ago I would be recognized because of my Aqua obsession? I’m good with that.

Empath or Clairsentient?
Theoretically, an empath and a clairsentient is the same thing. The term empath, or being empathic, seems to be the buzzword over the last 10 to 15 years. Whether this is due to the advanced population of crystal, rainbow, and indigo children, or simply a way for the spiritual community to recognize those that have exceptionally high resonance to people, places, and things.
Here’s a handy breakdown.

Empath
- Feels emotions and energy of people in the environment around them.
- Capable of perceiving the pain of others at close proximity.

Clairsentient
- Senses what others are thinking.
- Capable of perceiving when someone is in danger or pain, even at a distance.
- Capable of sensing when someone is watching them.
- Can be highly aware of environmental issues even if they are far from the area.
[/ezcol_1half_end]
So which are you? Most of us are actually a combination of the two. Being clairsentient, you also have the characteristics, traits, and abilities of the empath. However, in my findings, an empath can be more physically and emotionally troubled by what they perceive.
Simply put because we’re mammals we’ll always have the ability to tune into and actually use our sixth sense, which is actually clairsentience. Unfortunately, however, many of us don’t follow those gut instincts because they often don’t seem logical or can’t be proven… that is until the proof is in front of us. It’s when we’re faced with the fact that our gut instincts are bang-on that we sit up and take notice. This was the case for me as a young adult, and you’ve likely gone through this yourself.
I often recommend to new students that they test their abilities with mundane or inconsequential decisions. What does your gut tell you about something or someone? What are you feeling when you walk into a room? Do you feel you’re going to have a good day? You get the idea. You can ask your body to tell you the answer to a yes or no question pertaining to just about every choice there is to make in your daily living. Give it a try. I’ll bet your animal-like instincts are quite intact.

Tomato, Tomahto, Potato, Potahto… Frisbee and Tupperware?
In mediumship, there’s the possibility of a disconnect between the spirit and the reader. Not due to error, but the method spirit uses to convey what they want me to say such as the “red apple”.
For example, during a recent reading spirit was very accurate in describing the client’s home to me, to prove continuation in a loved one’s life. Details such as art, knick-knacks, and the layout of the home were extraordinarily accurate, but when I was told to tell the client about the red apple on the counter, the client couldn’t validate the information.
It wasn’t long before I connected the dots and realized her grandfather was describing something red and round, which the client then realized was a Tupperware lid.
We “see” with our eyes, ears, mouth, nose and sense of feeling when doing a mediumship reading. Spirit conveys an image or thought and often try to use what they know we’ll understand. So when the spirit told me “red apple” he knew I would associate it with red and round. In essence, he was correct, but inaccurate… or was that me? There’s always the possibility of a disconnect in mediumship. What someone in spirit conveys can always be misconstrued and when there’s this spiritual veil between the worlds, it takes quick thinking, and to be honest, skill and talent to be able to pick apart what spirit is actually saying. That being said, EVERY medium, even the best of the best, isn’t 100% accurate and I’m ok with that. It keeps us humble, and that humility reminds us what (and who) we do this work for.

What Would Jesus Do?
Over the past few weeks I’ve heard the phrase “What Would Jesus Do?” Whispered in my ear, I know it’s spirit getting a message across to me. Sometimes it’s when I’m alone, but more often has been when with a client during a session.
I honestly don’t believe this has anything to do with Christianity, but the believe in one’s actions, which should emulate a higher power. I suppose it could also be expressed as, “Take the Higher Ground.” However it’s given, I have promised spirit long ago to deliver to the client, exactly what is received. Even while I may not be privy to the story behind the advice, the clients are always understanding of the advice from their spiritual helpers.
We all have that inner knowing, and yet we often forget who we are and the importance others play in our lives even if we don’t have an emotional tie to them. Please consider who you are, then accept others as you would yourself. WWJD?
