So, I found myself in Kansas City a while back, feeling a bit stuck, you know? Like my wheels were spinning but I wasn’t really getting anywhere. Just one of those phases. A friend of a friend mentioned this Shellie Johnson, said she did tarot readings. Now, I’m not usually one for that sort of thing, always seemed a bit out there for me, but I figured, what have I got to lose? Sometimes you just gotta try something different when the usual ain’t cutting it.
Finding Her and Setting it Up
Finding Shellie Johnson wasn’t like some big mystery. I think someone just gave me a number. Called her up. She sounded pretty down-to-earth on the phone, no airy-fairy stuff, which I appreciated. We set a time, and that was that. No fuss, no drama. I liked that straight away. Some folks make a whole song and dance about these things, but she was just business-like, in a good way.
Kansas City was just itself, busy, lots going on. I drove over to the place, wasn’t hard to find. It wasn’t some spooky, incense-filled den like you see in movies. Just a regular spot, which, honestly, made me feel a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. First impressions, you know? They count.
The Reading Itself
So I go in. Shellie was welcoming. The room was calm, quiet. Not what I expected, really. I guess I had all these movie images in my head. She didn’t have a crystal ball or a black cat, just a deck of cards that looked like they’d been handled a fair bit – well-loved, you could say.
We sat down, and she didn’t ask me a million questions. I think I mumbled something about just wanting some general guidance, feeling a bit at a crossroads. She just nodded, shuffled those cards, and laid them out. Then she started talking. And I gotta tell ya, it wasn’t like she was predicting the future, not like “you’ll win the lottery next Tuesday.” It was more… insightful.
She talked about stuff, patterns maybe, things going on around me and, yeah, inside me too. Some of it was stuff I kind of knew deep down but hadn’t really put into words. Other things she said made me stop and think, like “huh, never looked at it that way before.”
- It wasn’t fortune-telling, more like a conversation with a wise, intuitive person.
- Some things she pointed out were surprisingly accurate, about my current situation.
- She didn’t tell me what to do, but gave me things to consider. Options. Perspectives.
It was a bit like someone holding up a mirror, but a different kind of mirror, if that makes any sense. Showed me some angles I hadn’t seen. I mostly just listened. There wasn’t any pressure to believe or disbelieve anything, which was good. It was just her, the cards, and her take on what they were showing.
After It Was All Over
When I left, I felt… lighter. Yeah, that’s the word. Not like all my problems were magically solved, don’t get me wrong. But it was like a window had been opened in a stuffy room. I had a few new things to chew on, a couple of different ways to look at the path I was on. It wasn’t a magic bullet, but it was helpful. Gave me a bit of clarity, or at least, a different way to think about the fog I was in.
So, that was my experience with Shellie Johnson in Kansas City. Just a straightforward encounter that gave me a bit of perspective when I needed it. Sometimes, that’s all you’re looking for, right? Just a different angle on things. And that’s what I got. No bells and whistles, just some honest insight.
