1st Saturday (about Ryan the reader), March 2025: A Return to a Flow
There is an old story of a man out to sea, struggling to
stay afloat after his ship has sunk. He prays for the help of a Higher Power to
help him, he's looking for a miracle. Boat after boat, fellow travelers offer
their help only to be refused by the man afloat.
Sadly, the man perishes. He meets his maker as he crosses
into what lies after this world. With resentment, he bursts out, "Why
didn't you save me?!"
The Creator responds without judgment "Many times I
answered your prayers, sending you many of my representatives, offering you help,
and you denied my help over and over again."
●●●
I have been the man struggling at sea. I have been the man
offered help over and over again. I do not want to perish refusing God's help
in its many forms.
●●●
Many feel the crunch of economic strain today, and I am not
immune to it. Recently, I was spending quiet time, in front of my bank
statement, trying to think of another creative way to earn money, something I
can be proud of that puts my natural talents to use.
●●●
Many years ago, I worked as a Channeler for about 7
years. As I faced my own unsurmountable challenge to recover, I found all my
readings were centered around something. A Force Greater Than Us called me to
make changes and face my own issues. I stepped away from offering readings
because I did not want to charge people to hear what I needed to hear.
Hallelujah! My conscious was known, my values identified, and the way forward
was clear, though it was not easy.
●●●
Now another 7 or 8 years later I feel prepared and excited
to again offer my God-given talents, Whatever God Is, for my own well-being,
financial security, and your betterment, too.
●●●
These I commit to:
- I will
end a reading I am not confident in my ability to give, prorated for time
according to the rate you paid, entitled to a refund where applicable.
- I will
not become the crutch of your own conscious. I am not comfortable or
willing to serve you every time you need to decide in your life. Your life
is not mine to live. My job is to ultimately empower you to seek your own
journey out.
- According
to the state of South Carolina, fortune-telling services and services like
it are offered "for entertainment purposes only." I
will respect that some will seek out my services for entertainment value,
you will be entertained and the truth of what I must tell you will never
be watered down.
- Payment,
Cancellation, and Refunds: Payment will be made in advance of
your reading for the cost of the reading.
- If
you cancel earlier than 24 hours of your appointment, you are entitled to
a refund - I do not want to charge you for something you don't get. Time
of cancellation is considered according to the time you cancel by the
cancellation link in your confirmation or reminder email.
- You
may reschedule your appointment so long as you do so before your
appointment time. Like cancellations, this counts according to when you
use the reschedule link in your confirmation or reminder email.
- I will
be available in person in my humble home, via online video conference, or
via phone for the following services, always rounded up to the nearest
dollar:
- 15-Minutes
for $30
- 30-Minutes
for $50
- 1-Hour
for $90
- Consultation
after your reading for up to 1 hour, prorated at half the hourly rate in
15-minute increments.
- For
example, if consultation after your reading lasts 22 minutes, you will
be charged for 30 minutes; prorated at half the hourly rate is $23.
- An
audio recording and transcript of your service will be made available for
a price equal to half the cost of your service
- For
example, if you settle on a 30-minute reading ($50) and follow up with a
consultation lasting 22 minutes ($23) and opt for a copy of the audio
recording and transcript, then the price for your audio recording and
transcript is $37 and your total session costs $110, $60 of which is
owed at the end of your session because you already paid for your
30-minute reading at the time of scheduling.
●●●
If all this talk of money is confusing, don't worry, there
will be a handy cheat sheet nearby, my goal is not to confuse you about the
cost of my services, my goal is to structure payment in a way that is ethical,
straightforward, and fair for the cost of my time.
●●●
Okay, so what does this look like, how does it work?
I start by asking, "Why are we here today?" This
is your opportunity to tell me quickly why you have sought my services. I will
repeat it back to you to make sure I understand before I begin. When we agree
on the premise of your hiring me. If you prefer a colder reading (where I know
very little going in so you don't feel duped if I repeat it back to you during
your service) you can just simply say, I'm here to see what you have to say.
At the end of your services and any consultation, I will
offer to share your audio recording and transcript with you via Google Drive.
If you decide you want this add-on, we will discuss the final price and how you
want to pay.
Payment Methods: Payment is gratefully accepted
by cash (for in-person appointments), PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle.
Please no checks. If you want a card charged, I can send you an invoice by
PayPal.
●●●
Okay, so now that we got all this business out of the way,
what's the rest of this blog going to be? In time for each Saturday morning, I
will release a new post along these formats:
