I have decided to take Adrian to meet Levi's mother. I actually had decided this a few weeks ago, but hadn't said anything to my friends about it just yet.

She has asked to see him a few times now, and it occurred to me that I would like to treat her in the way that I would like her to treat me. I can't really explain it, but it just feels like the right thing to do.

I was going to take Adrian to the Museum of Natural History (the butterfly exhibit open again!), so I asked her if she'd like to come along. We'll be meeting next weekend.

Last night I attended a group meditation/message circle in upstate New York. It was a lot of fun; they did tarot cards, meditation, and then the medium gave people messages.

Immediately the medium looked at me and told me that he had a message from one of my relatives in spirit. He asked, "Are you planning a trip to the city soon?" "Yes, I am," I replied.

"Yeah, this is going to be a huge step for you," he said, adding that the message from my relative was, "Don't worry, she knows her son is an ass and she will like your boy."

Wow. Had I known before that psychics could be this dead on I might not have spent so much money in therapy.

Today I got an email from the medium. He said he saw the Statue of Liberty — and that's what tipped him off that I was going to the city — but he thought that was an odd reference for New York. He said that he thought about it more and decided that the message meant that this meeting with Levi's mother will be very liberating for me.

Liberating? We'll see.
