Psychics and signs - are they helpful or just a waste of time?

I have been extremely superstitious all my life and believe in signs that life throws in my direction.While I have some people in my life that believe in it as well, I have others that think it’s completely made up and inaccurate.I personally choose to make some decisions in my life based on the signs that I see.But the non-believers always have me thinking – is being superstitious all just in my head?

For example, I, like a lot of people, relate songs to the people in my life.If I’m talking about someone and that song that reminds me of them starts to play – it’s a sign, right? A sign of what, I’m not sure.But to me, it’s still a sign -maybe it’s a way of saying that they’re thinking about me as I’m thinking of them, or it’s confirming something I’m thinking about them.

The other day, I was running errands with my mom and we were going to a place that was close to where my ex-used to live.So sure, naturally there was a slight chance I would run into him there, but it was the middle of the day in the middle of the week.My odds of running into him were low, or so I thought.We walked through the doors and I ran smack into his brother.He was the first person I saw and made eye contact with.What are the odds?I mean, sure, I was hoping I would run into him, but I never thought it would happen.

My mom and I got back into the car and she looked at me and said, “That was a sign, but it’s not a sign.” She’s not the biggest fan of my ex, so of course, she didn’t want me to take that as a sign of anything.I got my superstitious ways from her, after all.This happened recently, so I’m still kind of marinating what to do with what happened.

I’m also a big believer in psychics.If you’re open to it, it works.If you go into it thinking it’s a scam, it doesn’t.I’m no fool, I know the difference between being read by someone who knows what they’re talking about versus someone who goes around saying “you’ll grow up to be very happy and successful.”That’s not what it’s about.

I was a skeptic the first time I was read, but I was more than open with the woman who was reading me.The moment I knew I was 100% a believer was when she told me that my mom still had feelings for my dad, at the time they had been divorced for years.I thought she was full of it, my house was a war zone when my parents were together.A couple months later, my mom told me that her and my dad were going to try being together again.Fast forward to today, they’re stronger than ever and remarried a few months ago.

So, call me strange, but I fully believe that being superstitious is real.You can’t force things to be “signs” but, when they are right in front of you, believe them.It might just help you get the answers to things you’ve been looking for.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
