….was a physician in CanadaIt was 1983 and I was living in Tsawwassen, Canada, near Vancouver, with my now ex-husband and had just experienced a business loss due to the recession taking place at that time. I was devastated, feeling very lost, and had a lot of stress in my life. A friend of mine asked me if I believed in psychics.
