My Granny Gheeta and I have been connected through the universe, visions and dreams for as long as I can remember.

When I was five years old and felt myself thrown into the midst of emotional trauma, she would appear to me in visions directing me how to make myself feel better by connecting with the hobbies and pastimes that brought me joy.

Therefore, at an early age, I learned how to be my own best friend. As time passed, I developed an imaginary friend which offered me a world of escapism and fantasy. For a five year old, who felt lonesome and displaced, the creative games I played with myself was my own piece of Heaven.

The older I became, Granny Gheeta was the voice of warning in reference to deceptive friends and foes.

I recall an incident when I was approximately in my early twenties and had been dating a fellow from Canada. I sensed that Granny Gheeta was not too keen on the association, because everytime that I was to go on a date with the chap, it was a lesson in futility. Trying to get dressed, sometimes, felt as if I was  experiencing episodes out of "Bewitched".

The outfits that I would select, would mysteriously get a stain, the earrings I picked out, would somehow get misplaced, or my nylons would rip and there would be a time warp. At first, I attributed these moments to dating jitters. But, after many years of becoming more acquainted with Granny Gheeta on a spiritual plane, I realized it was her mischievous way of protecting me.

Sometimes we become so enamored with the thought of "Someone" that we fail to see the negative traits they harbor. In my situation, I thought I had found a jewel of a person, however, in the spiritual world he was a devil in disguise, and Granny Gheeta knew it.

This particular person would profess their unwavering loyalty to me, telling me tales what he thought I wanted to hear, instead of being honest and declaring what he could realistically bring to the relationship.

I would toss and turn many nights because of the mixed signals I received from this individual. After many haunted evenings Granny Gheeta appeared in a vision filled with the colors of the rainbow. She told me to buy a plant, and whisper the person's name to the plant, if the plant lasted, the person was sincere. If the plant died, it meant that they were being deceptive.

Therefore, I went to the nearest nursery and bought a nice plant. I did exactly as she told me and the plant died. At that point I was in denial, I did everything possible to resuscitate the plant, however, the facts were staring right back at me.

Nevertheless, I forged ahead into the relationship, hoping that it would eventually blossom into something more. As years passed, I realized that this person was like Peter Pan, a person who just wanted to have good times, fun and frolic without serious commitment.

The most dangerous trait about a person with this trait is that they have moments of wanting to be seriously committed, and just when they think you have fallen for the bait. He/She does a 360 on you.

Many people feel the effects of the Peter-Pan Syndrome, yet they continue to wallow in the stagnancy of a relationship. It was during this time that I had a breakthrough, Granny  Gheeta appeared in a magnificent vision telling me to pay a surprise visit on the object of my desire. This was completely out of character for me, because I was a good girl, and good girls do as they are told. They don't pay surprise visits to their "boyfriends".

So, at the bidding of Granny Gheeta I lived dangerously. I got dressed to the nines and drove to his house. I didn't get a chance to get out of the car, because as I was about to, I saw him and my cousin holding hands and kissing.

It was the strangest feeling I ever experienced, because I had spoken to him hours earlier and he never acted strange or insinuated that he was having a visitor.

In this situation I was the one who was thoroughly surprised. At first, I was angry with Granny Gheeta for sending me there, but after many months I realized it wasn't so much about the relationship. It was about the deception of others who surrounded me. The people I trusted the most, or the people who I thought had my best interest at heart.

It was then I realized, that Granny Gheeta was teaching me that you cannot trust anyone.

A wise person once said, "To distrust everyone, is to trust everyone equally."

Although it seemed as if my broken heart would never mend, it eventually did. It left me wiser and more discerning of the people I associate with or divulge my innermost feelings to. If it weren't for my Granny Gheeta, the world would still be laughing at me, and I would still be wondering if I had spinach in my teeth.

Although these instances in my life may seem insignificant, I always felt that Granny Gheeta knew just when I really needed her. Her timing was always impeccable.

Sometimes we may have people in our lives everyday who seem to know us, yet there is no connection. Then other people touch our lives for a short while and they seem to be more in tuned with us and our circumstances and it feels surreal. My Granny Gheeta and I have experienced surreal, mystic connections my entire life.
Most recently, as I was about to toss books regarding Psychic Connections, Astrology and the  Afterlife. Granny Gheeta reminded me that it is part of my Heritage, and all these interests are what makes me unique.
