Oh, she was quite certain of her gift.  From a very young age, Greta knew she had a special talent and purpose in life.  Yes, she was in tune with her sixth (heck, maybe even her seventh) sense. Greta could reveal people’s fortunes… and most of the time she was precise.

Her family was dirt poor all throughout Greta’s childhood.  At age 5 or 6, her neighborhood friend Dolly dropped by one Thursday afternoon to play.  Greta said….”Dolly, one day you are going to have the biggest boobs ever, make millions of dollars singing about a whorehouse, and people will travel for miles to go down your log flume.” At that moment, her mother scooped Greta off the floor and washed her mouth out with soap.

As it turned out…. Greta was right.  All true.  And now, Dolly has a nice little amusement park in Pigeon Forge, TN.

It happened  time and again throughout her life.  Nevertheless, people made fun of her. Laughed at her…. mocked her.   But….. one day… she vowed…. she would help millions with her gift… and maybe get a cool crystal ball out of the deal.

She was right on the mark about Mr. Redenbacher giving up the underwear modeling gig ….and instead… following the idea about putting popcorn in heatable bags.

And then there was little Stevie Jobs. He loved fruit… Grapes, Bananas, Apples, Plums, Apricots…. all of it!   Greta told him to stick to the Apples….specifically Macintosh.

She never gave up…. following her “calling” her entire life.   And finally, it payed off.  She was discovered by Dionne Warwick… is currently the “big star” at the Psychic Channel… and saved enough money to buy a huge rock ranch in Raven Woods, Nevada. It has a delightful crystal ball tree on the property.

Yes, Greta was true to herself. She aligned herself with her higher purpose, and the universe couldn’t help but make a straight and good way for her path.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
–Henry David Thoreau

May we all be wise enough to follow our passions, and find our own little crystal ball trees.  May you all have great fortunes.
