Young Charles ‘Spider’ Jones was a boy with a dream. He wanted to be like his idol, Alan Freed, disc jockey credited with coining phrase ‘Rock & Roll’. Spider was out-going, friendly, and optimistic, possessing desire to achieve his goal. Then he was hit by racism.

In school, racist attacks became an everyday occurrence. Spider’s confidence evaporated and his self-esteem plummeted. Spider gave up and dropped out of school. For years, Spider lived on streets of Detroit running with a gang. He scrapped, stole, and was on a dead-end course that landed him in jail.

As he got older, Spider channelled his street smarts into boxing, ultimately winning three Golden Glove Championships. After boxing, he tried his hand at a variety of jobs, but learned quickly that he was once again stuck in a dead-end situation.

“When you haven’t got an education, employers will exploit you,” says Spider. “I decided that if I ever wanted to achieve my dream and provide a better life for my family, I had to get education and skills.”

His boyhood dream was once again alive. At age 30, living in Toronto with his wife and four kids, Spider quit working and went back to school. Attending Seneca College, Spider encountered a whole new set of challenges. “It was frightening. Here I was, 30 years of age with a ton of street and ring smarts, and I was in classrooms with 19 year olds.”

Not necessarily. When it comes to intuition, being .right. shouldn't be your absolute goal. Especially when you just beginning to become more sensitive to energy. Accurately picking up on energy is a refined skill that develops with lots of practice and lots of errors if you are to become good at it. And besides, if you pick up troubling vibes, you may tuning into a precarious moment where real danger or imbalance does exist ,but situation may right itself somehow before it becomes evolves into a real problem. After all energy is not fixed, but always in a state of motion.

A client of mine told me about her experience with her daughter. Janice, very intuitive and aware mother of a 17-year-old daughter named Lisa, offered to chaperone Lisa and her girlfriends on a spring break trip to Cancun. Wanting to give her daughter .space. while still being present, Janice stayed in a separate room during five days they would be there. One morning, Lisa told her mother that she and her friends were going to beach, and they agreed to meet at 5:00 for dinner. All day long Janice had a terrible feeling around her daughter's vibration. She felt that her daughter was not okay. This feeling fluctuated from mild worry to moments of real psychic upset. .What s going on with Lisa?. she asked herself, certain something was off. Finally she calmed down, surrounded Lisa with white light and gradually anxiety passed.

Finally 5:00 rolled around and Janice called her daughter's room." Lisa's in shower,. said Chris, one of Lisa's roommates. .Hold on, I'll see if she's out..

While she was waiting, Janice could hear girls talking. and overheard Chris say, .Thank God I stopped Lisa from having sex on beach today!. Janice almost dropped phone. .No wonder I was so upset!. Janice thought. .What was Lisa thinking? What were girls up to?" A moment later Lisa picked up phone. .Hi, Mom!. she said, sounding like her usual cheerful self.
