“Here’s A Story Of A Lovely Lady…” If you were a television junkie like me growing up, you might recognize this lyric from ABC’s The Brady Bunch. I was only two when it came out in ’69. Almost all the after school TV I watched growing up were reruns. Star Trek, Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, Bob Newhart, The Jetsons…
A little while back, a client came in for an in-person session. Her name happened to be Brady, a detail that would lead to a spot on psychic insight. From my years in New York and Honolulu— two multi-cultural, melting-pot cities—I became attuned to regional accents. Many of my clients have moved around a lot. When a mix of accents come out of someone, I don’t attempt to plumb origins. Others can say one word and give away the region of their roots. Have you ever conversed with someone whose accent is as flat as a newscaster. You might assume they’re American but then they pronounce the word, ‘about’ as ‘abōat’? You think, “Oh! You’re from Canada aren’t you?” I’m working towards some psychic magic here. This Brady lady was recently vacationing in Honolulu (Bunch Insiders: sound like a familiar episode?). Her reading felt cathartic and insightful, mostly because of her willing participation and buoyant spirit. The most rewarding readings are sprinkled with levity between the tender moments. This was one of them. Her accent is completely neutral. No drawl or glottal stops. None of the vowels have diacritical marks. My opening question to her might have been because her name is Brady. I leaned back and thought of Florence Henderson, the mother on the TV show. For years she famously appeared in TV ads for Florida Orange Juice. But surely the show was filmed in Hollywood? I asked, “Do you happen to come from or live in Orange County California?” She looked at me for a good five seconds. A closed-lipped smile slowly appeared on her face. “I was born there and raised between Huntington Beach and San Diego. How on earth did you arrive at that?” “For an answer you’ll have to take my online psychic class.” I continued, still going off the Brady Bunch impression. “So would you say you have, uh, two families, kinda merged together?” “Yes, after divorcing my dad my mother married to a guy who had two sons. I was about three.” When particular psychic perceptions come up in a reading, it’s for a reason. The cards are raising a topic, and we’re on the hunt as to why. Let’s see what gets spotlighted in your next reading.
