So, you have heard about the article in the Washington Post in the "Below the Beltway" Column by Gene Weingarten and . It's great fun, if you haven't read it yet, Then come back and read my responses. Remember, it's ok to laugh. <wide smile>

My Responses to Gene and Gina.

First of all, I am so glad Gina and Gene didn't tell me what was really going on, I would have totally lost it and Gene's mother would have had a beard and played a flute on a pirate ship!

Ok, so, in general, I'm pretty pleased with how they treated me in that article. It could have been so much worse. In general, I wish they would have actually had a real session, I mean the kind of session that might have made a difference in their lives. They really only wanted a psychic reading, which is not what I feel is my strong suit. I don't actually even consider myself a Psychic, as you probably know, I call myself a Spiritual Healing Facilitator.

Ok, so enough of this seriousness.

They talk about how I said that Gene was 5 years older than Gina. I have absolutely no recollection of saying anything about anyone being five years older than anyone. I knew I should have taped that thing. <grin>

I felt Gene was certainly being dragged into this session by his hair, and Gina was truly connecting with me and we were having a great time. I kept getting this strange feeling that they wanted desperately for me to say they were lovers and were going to have this awesome relationship, but I just couldn't say that. They kept dropping these seeming nudges or hints that they were having an affair, and wondering if they would be good together and if they had past lives together as lovers.

The funny thing was that they did have tons of lives together, and almost none of them were romantic. They seemed to just love to come together to just have fun. I'm reminding you here that I did not know who they were. The only information they gave me was that he was a writer and she was a professor.

About half way through Gene, left, or was knocked off the line for a few minutes. During that time, Gina asked me what her mission was during this life time. I told her that I kept seeing her doing public speaking and the crowd was mostly women, but more and more men came in over time. I told her that her passion might be with empowering women. Only AFTER the session did I learn that she was ALREADY working with women in a very big way!

Now, I'm sure you are wondering about this whole Yiddish thing. Well, me too. <grin> I have no idea who jumped in to talk to me when I asked to speak to Gina's Mom, but THAT woman was definitely wanting to be heard. I had a feeling that woman wasn't Gina's mother, and I did say this to Gene and Gina, and we had a great laugh and joked about her being the matchmaker in "Fiddler on the Roof". It's not often that those on the other side get so pushy as this one, but sometimes it happens and sometimes I can be tuned into the wrong "station". We did finally connect to Gina's mother and she was fine.

Here's the real scoop about me allowing my name to be mentioned in this column. I did say "no way!" <tears added for extra affect>. Then I dared to listen to my beloved Forrist, my main P. R. man, and he gave me glorious CPR, and I calmed down. We did a bit of research and read some of Gene and Gina's work on past "Below the Beltway" columns and decided that they weren't really out for blood, just a few playful nibbles here and there.

Forrist promised that he and his trusty white horse would protect me from the monsters and dragons of skepticism and piety, so I kissed his ring and placed my ivory neck upon the chopping block. Before we signed our last rights completely away Forrist actually did make the final request of our captors:

"Be sure to spell her name right, and say that she is blind, if you like, that way those who do want to find her will be able to Google her and get to the website."

Gene agreed, and here you are!
