Oh the joys of preparing!

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

I’m 9 weeks and counting to the day I leave Ohio, USA. 7 months ago I decided to close out the life I had been living to venture out to another country to make a new life! I put my belongings in storage, gave the joy of my life (my dog- Brandy) to my ex-husband, quit my job and focused on preparing to travel around the British Isles.

Within the week, my tickets will be secured. The next few weeks my website will be ready (KymMcBride.com), my travel blogg can now be crossed off the list and my bags will stuffed to the brim. My mind is ready for this venture, but in the mist of the calm is a small voice that is screaming “What the hell are you doing!?!?!” I’m trying to quite this voice and I seem to do pretty good until I lay down to sleep and the voice gets really loud and the sleeping part of my day starts to elude me.

The voice points out all the things that I don’t have done – like the really big ones! Like where am I staying, the money I don’t have, the exact travel route not clear- just to name a few. But I do have one thing – TRUST that this is the ONLY thing I can do at this time in my life. It’s a PASSION and passion is the most commanding voice of all- even over doubt. So this is my story…..

I’m a woman in her 40’s. Divorced, with no children. I’ve been attending college for the last few years and have loved every moment of it (Pshychology and Art major (in Photography). I am now a photographer (after a long long list of other jobs) and I am in a art gallery in my home city. I have just started a Greeting card company (McBrideCompany@gmail.com) which will allow a variety of artist to get their work out to the general public. Now here is the part that will either interest you – or make you leave this bogg- I am also a Psychic/Medium. I usually follow this statement with “I see dead people” as in Sixth Sense and most recently “Medium” the new TV show- as an example of what a medium is. I have been a praticing psychic/medium for about the last 7 years. It seems that everyone has some “unfinished” business with someone that has died. Either they have not said “good-bye” or they left something unsaid or something they wish the dead person had said to them. It’s not the need that stops people from letting me help them- I think it’s just the fear of HOW I can help them. It’s not all “whooo” stuff. It’s a conversation – that heals. But enough on this part of me- for it’s just that a PART of me. I don’t have a crystal ball, or dangling crystals or a turben on my head. And NO I have never been on the the “Psychic Network”!

I do have a radio show that I will be doing as I travel. It’s format is music and interviws with people that are working in the metaphysical areas. Healers, Psychics, Mediums (not all psychics are mediums), etc. I will seeking out like minded people and with the radio show – teach people that it’s not the whoooo stuff that people have been instilled with. As of this post the show is in development (it was up and on for the last few months) but it is getting some more work. It’s “Lightworker22Radio.com”

My trip is starting in Westport, Ireland (my family heritage-grandma’s side) meandering to Dublin (within 3 months vacation visa). Then to Wales then up into Chester la-Street, England (my family heritage- grandpa’s side) then up to Scotland (the real home of the English) then back down. At the end of this, I should have MILLIONS of photos (mostly people- my area of interest), tons of radio shows in the can, added a huge amount of new family to my genealogy and an amazing amount of new friends. And most of all – a decission of where I would like to settle down at – and an idea of how to make that happen!

My trip will entail meeting a wide range of people that will assist me on my travels. I am asking for help from anyone that reads this blogg! I will barter my talents for room and board. I can take photo’s of you and your family, clean your house, help cook (not one of my strongest talents), or help you connect with a passed on family member! I don’t smoke nor drink very much. I’m not loose nor am a prude! I don’t push any of my beliefs on others (whoooo) and I’m a very good guest (I’ve been told).
I would work where I was needed (if you have a family business).

Well, that’s “MY STORY” – I hope I didn’t bore everyone. But if you can help – please either contact me through this blogg or my email : KymMcBride@gmail.com. If you even just have tips that I could use – PLEASE HELP. And if not – as my family is doing – “Pray for me Argentina!”

God Speed- Kym
