REAL LIFE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE

Your vote

Frankie Inglis was convicted of murder after injecting her son with a lethal dose of heroin. An accident had left him in a vegetative state and she claimed she wanted to end his suffering. Do you think it was right that she was jailed for murder?




Has he forgiven us?

Wednesday 4th August 2010

Last year, we had our dear pet Yorkie, Benji, put to sleep. He was 18 years old. We had the vet come to the house so that he would be in his own surroundings but, to our horror, he died crying — and that will be with us for the rest of our lives. Will he ever forgive us?
Maureen, Mablethorpe

Mystic Mary replies:
Benji says there's nothing to forgive. He knew you were acting out of love for him and that you wouldn't have taken that course of action for any other reason. He was tired and his physical body was giving out. At the end, he wasn't crying, he was picking up on how devastated you both were and trying to tell you not to worry. He's such a sweet-natured little creature, he wants you to know he had a wonderful time with you and says thank you for everything you did for him — particularly the 'walks' in the car! Please don't be sad any more, he says. He's nearer than you realise.

Why can’t I sell my house?

Monday 2nd August 2010

I've had my house on the market since last summer. Lots of people have seen it, and said really nice things, but no-one's made an offer. Can you tell me what's wrong?
Jean, Leeds

Mystic Mary replies:
Have you said thank you to your house? I know this sounds strange, but it's often the reason why houses don't sell — they get stuck energetically because they don't feel acknowledged!
You've been in your present house now for 15 years and it's been your sanctuary when things got tough. My intuitive recommendation? Give it a good clean — just for its own sake, not for showing purposes — put your favourite flowers in the sitting room and light a pink candle every evening for a week. And while you're doing that, just say thank you to the house (you can say it inside your head if you want!) for its warmth, protection and friendship over the years. After that, the house should sell within the next three months.

I don’t exist

Saturday 31st July 2010

I have ME and am stuck at home with no job and no confidence. I need to know if there is any hope of direction for me? I can't talk to my husband or my daughter. Can you tell me what path I should be taking — I feel I don't exist.
Sam, Isle of Wight

Mystic Mary replies:
You've a whole lot more going for you than you realise. You're not invisible, it's just the people around you making you feel that. They don't mean to — they're just pre-occupied with their own lives. You have lots of oranges and blues in your name which means you're great at connecting with people and would be good in any kind of job that helped others find their paths. For example, working with young people and helping them to find the right career. Believe it or not, you're also very good at problem-solving as you're a creative thinker and these kinds of gifts could be used in something like the Citizens Advice Bureau or Victim Support. I know you're a bit worried about doing any kind of course or training. But I also know that if you plucked up your courage, you'd really surprise yourself at what you can do. The ME won't stop you doing something you want to do.
