Hi Everyone!

Issue #233
March 11, 2010

Our Psychic Fair this Week...

March 14 - Sunday - Saginaw Holiday Inn Express
Psychic Fun Fair
10a.m. to 5p.m.
Admission $5 Readings $10
12 psychics. Greg Krepps is expected to be there! Barb Garza, Jackie and all of your favs!
Joe Lawson will be doing special 15 minute and 30 minute readings.

Learn to Become Psychic
We are looking to train new, youthful and talented readers to be hired for our psychic fairs and conventions!

Some of my most popular readers are the ones I have trained personally; such as Jackie and Brenda. Jackie was a former client of mine and now my best friend and a reader at our fairs that is usually sold out. I knew she had an intuitive yet untapped gift when I first read for her in 1995. Brenda, as many of you know, is equally as talented. She ran the door for me for many years and now is a hugely popular psychic at our fairs and well known throughout the country; just returning from Hollywood where she did some promotional work.

The point is, I have had gut feelings about people when I read for them. Barb Garza was one of those people who came to the fairs to get a reading back in 1993. I told her to go home and practice reading for people and come back and I would hire her. She has been incredible and very sincere to hundreds of people across the country who know her. I could go on further with other readers too but suffice to say; I have this calling now to teach more and more people what I have learned. If you woud like to join the class, it's part of the cosmic connection convention coming in April.

Friday – Sunday April 9, 10, 11 - Learn how to become a Psychic or Develop your Intuition with Maria! I have trained several of my top readers how to do readings and develop their intuition. Now, I am offering this all day workshop to you! Whether you do it for fun, family, friends, your own spiritual growth or want to develop your own reading business, this is the class for you!

Nice Letters We Get

Hi Maria:

Please tell Joe the reading was great. He truly made me see what I already knew about my relationship but didn't want to admit to myself. I will for sure be calling for another reading in about 3 months.

Hey Maria!

It's Stacey Brady at WDVW/Mix 92.3 in New Orleans, I have to tell you what happened!!!

So, the week before last you helped me write out that Law Of Abundance check and this week unexpected fortune!

Here's what happened...my fiance John went to pay rent in Mobile and come to find out, we were supposed to get a free month of rent when we re-upped the lease in October and never did, we didn't even know we were supposed to get that, no one had said anything to us about it.
The bizarre thing is that it was a really strange set of circumstances that brought up a conversation between John and the apartment manager and that's when she mentioned it, they checked and sure enough we were owed!

So there you go: almost a thousand dollars came back to us!

Pretty cool! What can you do to help make it happen again!! LOL!

As always, you're awesome!!
Call us or come in anytime!
thanks!!!

Stacey

Dear Maria,

As I read your latest newsletter, I was so grateful to see how you share your personal growth and development with everyone. I appreciate your honesty - to put down into words the struggles and epiphanies you are experiencing has a huge impact on your readers. Thank you!

Maria,

Just read your newest update and the article about passing the test. It is food for thought but more so for soul growth. I am grateful you shared it. I wanted to know if there is any program that you do regularly that takes calls that my sister who is in Oak Creek Wisconsin could possibly listen to or get online somehow. She just took an enormous leap of faith and quit her job that they were pushing her out of after being their 7 yrs and are trying to withhold benefits she should get paid out. She spoke with Vonne and Cathryn at the Roseville fair and heeded the guidance regarding walking away from the job. I guess I am trying to reassure her or help her know she and her family will be okay. Again this goes back to your previous newsletter and article about trusting God. If there is a way she can listen and possible be a call in, can you let me know. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day. Maggie Ham Lake MInnesota

Good Morning Maria,
Do you have any idea yet when you will be back to Roseville Minnesota? A friend of mine is saving to get a full reading from you so we want to get it on the calendar. If not, we can continue to watch for it in your newsletter.

Thanks much. I hope all is well with you.
God Bless,
Cindy T.

Cindy - we will be back in August for the next psychic fun fair. But if there is a group of people who would like to host a get together, I may come out earlier in the spring or summer to do readings if there is enough interest!

Maria
That message about the test of the "Angels" being put in our paths is good, Maria. Even the bible tells us, some have entertained angels Unaware. We miss so many opportunities in our life time, to go above and beyond and We miss that hour. And angels don't help another because of a persons race, sex, religion, or their financial back ground, just Be the True Light. That's what we're suppose too do and the Good will Cover us, when we're in need of Help.
Love and Grace be unto you and yours!
Dorinda

Nary a dry eye as they said---- God's "bangin' on our hoods" , big time !

THANKS! (for the article, newsletter, all your wonderful support and advice.)

Angels on your shoulders in your journeys - so glad it's being filled with much goodness.
Love and a hug,
Sandy

Faith and the Law of Abundance
By Joe Lawson

Every single time I seem to just start to make a dent in my bills, BOOM!!! I get hit with an another unexpected bill and no it just cant be a twenty dollar problem its always a thousand dollars or more problem, she said to me. Having heard this about every other week it gets hard for me to think up new answers to these problems that this particular client hits me with almost on a daily basis. I've tried everything Joe is usually what I hear. I've tried the law of abundance pouches, I've written my Law Of Abundance Checks and I've tried every prosperity stone and still NOTHING!!! These words ring in my ears as I once again try to come up with some positive Sagittarius words of wisdom. I guess it's a lesson of some sort I tell most clients; maybe you are supposed to learn something from all of this. This is usually not the words this particular client wants to hear. They want it fixed and they want it fixed NOW!!! So this puts me into the thinking mode and to be honest most of my more brilliant ideas, thoughts, etc… hit me when I am doing the polar opposite of what I'm supposed to be doing, you know, like that whole pesky work thing, which I usually try to avoid at all cost until that delicate flower Maria, comes in and gently tells me that its time to get back to work honey. NOT!!! It's more like, if I have to tell you one more time to get some work done around here there's going to be real trouble. Kinda like when your mom used to say stuff like, you just wait till your father gets home. Maria kinda fits into the category of mother, father, girlfriend, best friend and taskmaster. I try to let her know that even when I'm not working I'm working. Like watching TV, that's a job, especially if I have to sit through some of the shows Maria makes me watch, ( I don't really care if Jack and Carley get back together on days of our lives ). Sometimes divine intervention strikes and in this particular case Maria out shopping and me thankfully left behind and no bag carrying in site. Upon this rare chance to watch TV with out hearing Marias constant yelling at the TV during a movie, don't go into the basement stupid!!! The monster is still down there, or why do they always fall down when being chased and my personal favorite, Marias entrance halfway into a movie I've been watching by myself and sitting next to me and asking, who's that? Why did they just do that? What's this movie about? Who's the bad guy and who's the good guy? Well, on this rare occasion that I am flipping channels between My name is Earl ( that will be another article I cant wait to write about, Karma ) and to an old eighties horror movie Fright Night. How does the movie Fright Night and an article about Prosperity correlate? Let me explain, I literally have seen this movie about fifty times and I pretty much know every single line by heart. However on this particular night a certain scene in the movie struck me in a profound way. Near the end of the movie our hero Peter Vincent ( who plays a washed up B vampire movie actor facing a real vampire ) is holding a cross to the real vampire, to which the vampire screams and hides his eyes from this apparently very painful procedure and stops cold!!!! He turns to our hero and begins to laugh…. To which our hero is very perplexed. You have to have FAITH!!!! Mister Vincent, in order for that to work!!! I leap out of my seat at this. That's it!!! Faith!!!! That's what's missing from all the abundance pouches, the Law of Abundance Checks and prosperity stones that my client was claiming were not working for her. Faith!!! Who'd a thunk it?? Stopping by the fair and having Maria put together a prosperity pouch for you and following the law of abundance dates is a great way to draw prosperity to you, however, without faith that its going to work, its just as useless as Peter Vincent's faithless cross to the vampire. So my brain begin ticking, its not only faith Joe. Its blocks that stop you from achieving what the universe is trying to bring you. But here's the kicker. It's not the "ill never get out of debt" blocks I'm talking about, and yes those do block you from Gods best but it's our negative attitudes that we have towards other areas of our life. Grudges, inability to forgive and forget, negative mindsets are all things that stop us from prosperity, and I'm not only talking about financial. Prosperity is a state of mind. You look good you feel good. If you believe you are rich, you will be and that doesn't always mean money. Friends family, children loved ones are all prosperity. With holding forgiveness and love are the types of things that stop you from gods best. How can you possibly think you are going to move forward if your stuck in past or current negative issues? God has great things in store for you. Do you want to know when they are going to happen? It will commence the moment you quit looking back. Whenever you quit grieving over what you lost, had at one time or don't have any more. Nothing will keep you from prosperity as much as the "why me?" Why can't I get ahead mentality? Write your Law of abundance checks, order your prosperity pouches, get your citrine and aventurine stones but don't forget to add a little bit of faith to those checks and pouches.

Astro News
By Madelyn Gerwick

Are you noticing that you're more tired than usual now? We're at the tail end of our Mars retrograde. Literally Mars is sitting at 0 degrees Leo and it's not leaving that spot until March 21st. In the meantime, on March 10th, it will at least start moving forward again, but it takes time for momentum to get going again. Since Mars represents our physical energy, with it slowed to a stop, it's common to notice that our energy may be lower than usual. This may be true until we see Mars moving "off the dime" so to speak to a new degree on March 21st.

We also have a great opportunity now to do more planning and complete getting our ducks in a row. That's because Mars is sextile Saturn now and this energy is great for planning, organizing and researching. So patience is the watchword now while you complete your plan for the next two years. We'll have this cycle in range through April 2nd. Please make good use of it!
Our New Moon on the Ides of March
By Madelyn Gerwick

We have a very unusual New Moon on March 15th, the Ides of March. This one has four planets, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury and Uranus all within 1.25 degrees of each other near the end of Pisces. It's a very tight pattern strongly suggesting it's time for us to start embracing a higher consciousness.

New Moons are always times of new beginnings. Essentially all New Moons are a seed-planting energy, a time when we start something that we?ll see the results of 5- 6 months later. That happens when we get the Full Moon for the same sign.

This New Moon is filled with plenty of unusual and inspiring ideas, plus higher consciousness to get us moving again. And it?s not even spring yet! If you?re ready to do something different, then this New Moon on the Ides of March is a time to set some intention. In particular, this New Moon is encouraging us to plant the following types of "seeds" in our lives:

1) To open up to new ideas, higher consciousness, or flashes of insight and begin using our intuition or higher guidance to solve challenges and make decisions.

2) To transcend beyond our daily activities and see the importance of planting seeds of love, compassion, forgiveness and hope.

3) To start something completely different that takes you beyond your ordinary world.

4) To start exploring new emotional patterns which encourage you to leave behind old ones that are no longer serving you (especially victim roles or sacrificing yourself for others).

5) To experience yourself as fully aligned and ready to plant these new seeds in ways that are most appropriate for you.

If you have been reconsidering your motivations and what makes you want to jump out of bed and get to work, then use this New Moon to set some intentions on Monday. This is important preparation for our summer of intense changes. We'll see the results of these intentions on the August 24th Full Moon, which is in the midst of the Cardinal Climax and the major dynamic changes that go with it. The clearer we are now about what we want, the easier it will be to surf the tsunami waves of change this summer. So I strongly encourage you to set some intentions on Monday for this year, especially the next 5-6 months.

One way you can do this, is to write down your intentions and put the paper into a Creation Box or a God Jar. A Creation Box says somewhere on it, "Whatever is in this box, IS." This officially notifies the Universe of what you want to see happen. Do your best to incorporate at least some of the energies listed above in your intentions.

Remember: Intention is the seed of all beginnings. Be sure to set yours for our New Moon on the Ides of March!

Debt Challenges!

This week we have Venus square Pluto and opposite Saturn, not the kind of challenges we'd like to see her have! Venus represents both our money and our love. In this situation, we're likely to encounter or experience major debts and/or passionate, but controlling relationships.

In fact, Venus moved into Aries this past Sunday March 7th. She's now in a sign where she's in her warrior mode, and it?s not a good sign for her. Venus opposite Saturn and square Pluto is challenging for the stock markets and all financial situations. You may have noticed that there's a lot of discussion in Congress about how to regulate the banks. This is another way this is showing up, with regulators fighting over who will do the best job. These cycles are also related to the large debt stories about Greece, the UK, Spain, Portugal, etc. And you may personally experience not having enough money due to too many debts.

If you're in the process of making a deal, wait until after this mess is over and we?re just past the New Moon which occurs on March 15th, to sign any contracts.

What's the Best Advice Your Mom Has Given You
From Elexis Rice

*reposted from Elysa's blog GenPink

Women's Health Magazine asked their readers to leave comments with the best advice (both practical & silly) their mother has given. Mom's are notorious for advice giving - both when you want it and when you don't. I'd be curious to know what is the best advice your mother has given you?

Advice from my mom:

Always thank people when they go out of their way to do something for you - even if it's in a form of a quick email.

Everything is a teaching tool and a learning device - any time life isn't going the way I'd like it to I am reminded by my mom that there are lessons to learn in everything.

Rejection is Protection - I'm not sure where my mom gets all of her rhyming antidotes but this is one of her favorites. She says if you don't get that job you want or that guy doesn't ask you out again that rejection is protection and there is something better yet to come.

Ask for clarity and courage - when I'm having a hard time making a big decision my mom advises me to pray for clarity and courage. She says it's important to ask for the two together so that you can act on what shows up. For example if you're in a bad relationship and deciding whether or not to leave, if you just ask for clarity chances are you'll get 57 red flags in your face but if you don't have the to courage to leave then the clarity serves no purpose.

You must have the 4 Cs for a relationship to work (communication, compatibility, common interest, & chemistry) - she says if one of the four is missing your relationship will feel like a table missing a leg.

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything- my mom uses this one very regularly. This statement is in relation to a person's character.

Have a beautiful week. Happy Birthday to our Pisces friends, Maria
