The theme of gypsies has been with me for many years. I have researched, embraced and have delved into what makes a ‘gypsy soul’ all in preparation for something I didn’t originally plan on – a novel about a gypsy.

An old soul has the ability to recognise the difference and make a wise decision of how to apply it. A young soul (in training) can mix the two which can lead to poor decision making if based on events that hold no value.
Many people dream of the future and make quite strong statement about events they ‘see’ will happen, claiming to receive the messages from a spiritual source.
This is the follow-up segment to https://journeyofthegypsy.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/in-the-tent-behind-the-veil-the-gypsy/ where I introduce the gypsy from her own perspective, in the tent. It is a developing story that will eventually make up my novel. These are the two unlikely characters who will form a friendship. Enjoy! It was finally my turn to get my reading. It felt as though…
