Never in my wildest dreams did i imagine i would be a Psychic Medium
KNEW WHERE I'D LIVE
One night when I was thirteen
I sat on the porch at night with my bestie, my dog
In my small Illinois farm town of 550 people
And looked out at the dark night
The millions of stars
Knowing that there was a whole wide world out there
Waiting for me
It came to me
The knowing
I knew I'd live in these places....
Texas
California
A big city
A foreign country
FROM BIG CITY TO CHICAGOLAND (before a foreign country)
September 2004
After 3 years of living in the big city - New York City
And taking a sabbatical to study acting
At the Neighborhood Playhouse for the first two years
Then another year of auditioning
Working part-time rollerblading with kids in Central Park
Working part-time in an office near Rockefeller Center
I moved back to home base, Chicagoland
To be near family
And return to my career
(Information Systems, Quality, Project Management, Process Improvement)
For Big Pharma Corporate
I decided I didn't want to be a starving actor
Not now, at over 40 years old
December 7, 2007
I was living in Evanston, IL
And on a trip in San Diego with my family
It was my nephew's Marine graduation
It was Pearl Harbor Day
It was another nephew's birthday
And it was when Todd first contacted me on Match.com
Todd later became husband #2
December 7th is significant for us
2009
Todd and I purchase a home in Wilmette, IL
We become OBSESSED with House Hunters International
And want to BE the people on that show
Who live life as an adventure
we later ARE the couple on that show!
We start traveling overseas
And in the U.S.
Searching for that place
Some place warmer than Chicago
Sunny, preferably near the ocean
Near positive people
Maybe to retire
Maybe to semi-retire and own a small business
2010
I start to feel
DREAD
In the pit of my stomach
A Stifling Numbing Aching Dread A deep depression
Of going into the office every day
Of my corporate career
I felt like a Walker
In the Walking Dead
I still did the best job I could
That's just who I am
I knew I was in trouble
When I scheduled a hysterectomy
Because of fibroids
I had no interest in trying natural cures
And was excited for the surgery
Because I would be out of work for a few weeks
That's sad
2013
I had to get out of the dread, the depression
I had to CREATE again
Be creative
Otherwise, all the light inside of me would die
I absolutely felt that
Besides acting, I've always loved color/design
And was inspired to design and sew couture martingale collars and leashes
For our two greyhounds Asha and Kai
Because I desired creative beautiful collars for them
And couldn't find what I was looking for
So I started selecting beautiful silk fabrics from Japan, Thailand, India
And soft cottons from Italy and France
I taught myself how to make martingale collars and leashes
And this soon turned into a business
After people would chase me down the street
Asking where I bought my collars
And now I was learning how to run a creative business
At art shows and on e-commerce
I was CREATING and I felt alive again
and that's when I started working 24/7
I was still working in corporate full-time
the collar business was my life-line
Asha
Kai
February 2015
We were sooo close
To the next big adventure
And had no idea
We vacationed in Punta de Mita, Mexico
An hour north of Puerto Vallarta
We scouted towns nearby
Sayulita, Bucerias, Nuevo (didn't make it to PV though)
Nothing felt quite 'right'
What's not to love
May 2016
In February, we planned to travel to Portugal and Spain
However our work schedules were too busy
By May we decided to plan a quick trip
Todd suggested Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
That didn't sound exciting at all
Since we were near that area the year before
But because I had no other good ideas I agreed
We headed to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
In May of 2016
For what would be one of the BIGGEST
Decision and Adventure of our lives
We took a Walking Tour with Sandra Cesca
Six months later
On December 7
We hopped in our car in snowy Chicago
With our two greyhounds
And drove to our new home - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Remember December 7?
Our significant date
It's the date Todd first wrote to me on Match.com
We took six months of preparation
Including selling our house
For the move to Puerto Vallarta
And it didn't dawn on me that we left Chicago on THAT DATE
DECEMBER 7
Until months after arriving in PV
There's something about that date for Todd and I
How many days did it
take for us to decide to move to Puerto Vallarta
1, 4, or 16?
Why did we miss our flight?
What four people did we meet
The first day of our trip
That changed our lives forever?
You'll never guess - does Larleen love or hate living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico...
I look back now and realize
That I was psychic
I absolutely knew as a child that I'd live in these places
Texas
California
A big city
A foreign country
Coming up next -
The finale - other crazy significant signs that I'd become a Psychic Medium
it's simple, do you
