As a psychic medium, I can't always control it when information comes through. Selective intuition isn't easy, so it is much to my family's chagrin when I give away the plot of a movie or ruin a joke by blurting out the punch line. This isn't something that I do deliberately, but I will admit that I thoroughly enjoy it when I turn out to be right. Thus was the case recently at the movies....
We all wanted to see "Hancock", the new Will Smith movie about the nonchalant superhero, so we decided to take an afternoon and spend it at the cinema. Now, my teenage daughter makes it a point not to sit next to me because she knows that at some point during the movie, usually early on, I'll whisper something in her ear that will give away the plot. My boys don't really care if I whisper to them, but they choose to sit together away from me, so they aren't always within whispering distance. My husband, on the other hand, enjoys sitting next to me and holding my hand. He also doesn't mind it when I whisper, as long as it isn't incessant - which it never is. During the first ten minutes of {ironically} "The Sixth Sense", I blurted out "I know the plot of the movie!" To which he responded "Well don't tell me!"
The movie "Hancock" captured our attention and kept us amused...and then it happened. About thirty minutes into the movie, I leaned over and whispered something intriguing about Charlize Theron's character that I received psychically. I don't think he believed me at first, but as the plot unfolded, he saw for himself that what I told him turned out to be true. After the movie, on our way back to the car, I shouted "I am the best psychic ever!" - which is something that I like to do when my family witnesses me having a successful psychic event in my personal life without even trying. Moments like that make me feel like a superhero!
I like to tease my children that I should be on the television show "Heroes" because of my "Psychic Superpower" {my humorous terminology}. We watch the show every week when it's on, but we still haven't seen me make any guest appearances. *SIGH* One day I will be discovered and asked to save the world. I just know it! The cheerleader had her chance.
When I was a child, I loved the show "The Six Million Dollar Man". I watched it religiously and even joined the fan club. Part of my ten year old brain knew that if I practiced enough, I could also run as fast as a car or jump as high as a building. I spent every day jumping over fences in the cow pasture behind our house and running up and down nearby hills. Each day I gave myself a new task to learn and I wouldn't move onto something new until I had mastered the previous assignment. I was, in essence, my own superhero! My friends and family will attest to the fact that I was an incredible athlete, but I never quite got as far as jumping over buildings or lifting trucks above my head. I guess I'll have to save that for another lifetime.
In this lifetime, I get to be "Psychic Girl" and save the world with my intuition! Okay, so it's not as glamorous as having super strength or even flying, but it does have its practical advantages. I can find lost things; know things before they are announced; tell people information about their future; talk to people after their physical death {my personal favorite} and so on. I guess the best thing about my "superpower" is that I use it to help people, which is all I ever really wanted to do. So, the next time someone shouts out "It's a bird! It's a plane!" - think of me and remember that superpowers come in all different shapes and sizes.
