<\/p>\nCarole Tollen\u00a0 was referred to by a client as the “Comedian Medium”,\u00a0flavoring her presentations and readings with a tasty dash of\u00a0humor, that has listeners craving more. I had the\u00a0joy of hearing her speak at\u00a0Circle of Miracles (one of the spiritual\u00a0services I attend)\u00a0 and found myself laughing and crying in the span of a few moments.\u00a0 We have several interesting synchronicities, including that she and my mom graduated from the same high school (many years apart, of course:) and her grandchildren refer to her with the same name as I did my own beloved grandmother. I had never heard anyone else call their grandmother “Giggie”, although Carole spells it differently,\u00a0\u00a0as she told me, when, with\u00a0tears in my eyes\u00a0and goosebumps on my skin, I explained the\u00a0 ‘God-incidence’ of it all. Both of\u00a0 us use goosebumps as a form of ‘truth barometer’.\u00a0 When I mentioned the name connection, Carole responded, “Your grandmother is here with you and you have something of hers.”\u00a0 Amazed but not surprised, I raised my left hand to show her\u00a0 my grandmother’s engagement ring that my mother, who passed it on to me before she died this past November, had downsized to a pinkie ring that she had worn for many years.<\/p>\n

How do you live your bliss?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n My bliss – do whatever FEELS right for me all the time.<\/p>\n What led you to discover that you had an intuitive gift to offer?<\/strong>Intuitive gift to offer – after years of knowing things before others and helping them with their decisions, I knew I was a PSYCHIC. \u00a0<\/strong>Experiences shape my life – I always felt different, left out, sad, dumb wrong – angry – and lived as I was told to be. When I owned myself as is, I became the woman I was born to be – real – talented – gifted – funny – loving – compassionate – intelligent alive!!!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Was there fear and hesitation before you finally stepped forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fear and not good enuf and then I practiced on my friends and felt I was OK – really good and took the leap of faith.<\/p>\n You have spoken about being authentic as a path to well being. How can people get past the trepidation about being fully seen and known?<\/strong><\/p>\n Authentic- remember your beliefs are your parents’ beliefs AND NOT YOURS. Become aware of YOUR BELIEFS AND DESIRES. Accept yourself, WARTS and ALL! KNOW that Everyone has fears – so what! LAUGH AT YOURSELF – allow others to say what they will and KNOW it is about them, NOT YOU!! JUMP INTO YOUR LIFE AND LOVE IT LIKE IT IS!!!! No one really cares!!! LOL<\/p>\n
\nHow did your experiences in earlier stages of your life, shape the women you have become?<\/strong><\/p>\n
