Good morning! My gifting came with a hefty price. I’m happy to discuss, should you reach out and ask. I am a seer, healer, communicator, advocate, psychic abilities, candle working, strong, anointed and fully embrace my spiritual authority; as I’m sure we all do or will soon. Typically, I don’t refer to myself as a “witch” it feels and sounds negative and demeaning. It’s the abilities that I possess are definitely not negative or demeaning. They are the opposite and in fact have not once doubted the power behind them either. Since I was a very little girl, I can remember seeing and hearing the unknown. Having a “knowing” and when things would come to pass; as they always do, I kept very quiet about what I saw, heard, felt, and not dare speak of it. Except for my grandma on my mamas side. Her name is Tommy and I am named after her. I was born 2/17/1976 1:11am in a Tuesday. Yes I know very well what my life path number is. I’m a 7 and I also know the power of being born at 111. I have so many gifts, knowledge and desire to learn more. It’s ijn my bloodline on both of my parents side od the family. Since I have not publicly shared my giftings, there is a lot. I have been practicing for almost 3 decades off and on. Long story, I was,……not sure got to say this……recently divorced a man who abused me for 20 plus years and was very good and using spiritual abuse as a key factor. So I didn’t use my gifts as I should have or openly the way one should in their how. It was not acceptable or “holy” NOW….I am completely free to continue to stand firm in my giftings, power, anointing and authority. I am glad to be here and please feel free to reach out. My career choice is a complex critical care special needs pediatric nurse. Informed trauma specialist mentioning those who have survived trauma specifically human trafficking and SA. AND I’m a tik tok artistic it’s nice to meet everyone and look forward to becoming friends and sir supporters of all.

First of all, I’ve got to tip my witch’s hat to you! 
You not only work in one of the most difficult professions that really needs kind and caring people, but you had the bravery to walk away from a toxic relationship. So you are awesome, don’t ever doubt that.

Welcome @Girlnamedtommie!
It feels so good to be free after spiritual abuse! Been there. Raised Catholic, abusive mother, it seems like I had no other family despite large families on both sides.
Hold tight to your beautiful talents, beliefs, and self esteem! You deserve it!
