- Even wearing glasses, Patricia Mischell can see
right through you. At least, so it seems when this
positive-thinking psychic looks at your and wills you to ask her a
question. I hadn't meant to, but I did. And
so did dozens of others who showed up at a recent open house at
Shillito Rikes tearoom to mark the debut of her new book, "Beyond
Positive Thinking."
- Several women asked
questions about family problems or illnesses. After each
question, Ms. Mischell paused, concentrated, then spoke. she
seemed to see beyond the immediate situation, visualized scenes in
the questioner's life. It was spooky.
- Her counsel, in general,
was upbeat but realistic. To a woman who asked if her
daughter would marry, Ms. Mischell answered: "she is very
independent. she
|
- has lots of things to do. I see a man;
I see her turning away her head. She won't commit without a
lot of searching. I see a wedding band with a crack; did she
go through a divorce? I see a lot of pain there. Let her
work it out."
- To a woman who wondered if
she should make a job change, Ms. Mischell suggested:
"Not yet. So far, you are just dabbling your hand in the
water."
- Circling the informal
group with a mike in hand, she had the poise of an entertainer-and
indeed looked like one, with sophisticated makeup, lots of blond
hair and an above-the-ankle lilac crepe dress. She appeared on
Bob Braun's show many times. Her theme: "You have
it in you to be extraordinary!"
- And she will return to
Shillito Rikes' book department downtown at noon to 1:30 p.m.
Thursday to autograph her book. she'll be at the Western Woods
store at 7 p.m. July 23 and at Florence mall store at 7 p.m. July
24.
