We all need to be useful.
I was out there today, available for readings.
In walks an older woman, wearing her Competent Professional aura. She sits down, we talk for a moment, she shuffles and cuts, I throw some cards around. To begin with she doesn't give me much feedback: not in the sense of deliberately holding back so that I can't "fake" a reading, but because she is listening very closely. I said some stuff that I didn't really understand; and at the end I said "That obviously means something to you, can I ask what aspect of your situation that's bouncing off?" So she told me, and yes, it was quite specific to her needs.
She paid, shook my hand, got up. Just as she left, she turned around and said: "You know, I've had more value out of you in the last half-hour than I've had out of six years of counselling." She meant it.
Wow.
Go me.
