I've always been a bit sceptical of things like Tarot as they're usually so general they could easily apply to anyone. But when I saw a Groupon deal for online readings over email I thought at least they won't be able to see me laughing at them.
With Jemma South
Jemma is Interim Head of Content and Creative at Parkinson's UK and an absolute sweetheart. From her first day I knew she was someone I would like to be friends with. When life is busy and there's always people vying for your free time it's easy to overlook getting to know new people. On my birthday last year, when we only very loosely knew each other, she bought me a bottle of my favourite wine in a glittery giftbag and the fact she had made the effort showed that she was someone I needed to make time for in my life.
I bought two readings, one for me and one for Jemma because she's as sceptical as I am so we would be guaranteed a giggle. It took just under a week for the reading to come back and reading it now stopped me giggling. It's not general, it's specific and elements of it are ridiculously accurate. She spoke about soft tissue problems and a new physician helping, both things I haven't really spoken about on my public social media profiles.
The reading was quite thorough but i'll share with you the main things she believes will happen each month and then we can all be shocked together.

'My reading rang true in quite a few respects which is surprising to me because I’m due to finish a job this year and it was very much focused on the next step. It articulated something I hadn’t quite articulated to myself about what I could do rather than what I felt I should do. She tapped into my internal conflict about whether to follow my heart and a creative path or whether to do something professional, secure and sensible. It’s given me the strength to take a risk and pursue what makes me happy, and to be prepared for challenges along that path. But that I need to have the strength to work through that and to come out stronger.' Jemma.
