Nicky (38, female). Since 2001, when I first noticed sparkly lights, I've been interested in all things to do with the afterlife. I've also noticed smells, felt things, heard voices and angelic music and I'm now hooked. I've been told that I have a gift and I could, with practice, become a successful medium. I'm currently in an open circle. I would like to chat to anyone who's beginning, just like me. I have other interests and hobbies such as: reading; listening to music; watching TV (not soaps), theatre/cinema; socialising; writing to my penpals and chatting online; clubs & pubs and just generally enjoying life. nlriches** **hotmail.com.
