Was everything smooth when I became a diviner and established a center?

No. Income was unstable at first, and the first three years were difficult. Changing to divination still meant rent, living expenses, and concern about repaying the former company's debt. Looking back brings gratitude for support, but many real challenges needed facing then.

After military service I worked in insurance, then moved into event planning, which I enjoyed, and later opened an events company. Revenue came in, but cost management, staffing, and cash flow were poorly handled. Money came in one hand and out the other, and debt grew. Around thirty, worsening business prompted thought about adjustment.

Several teachers advised helping beings. Reflecting, I realized religion and practice were the topics I could happily discuss with friends from day into night. Chess divination also offered a professional skill to clarify problems and direction. I already had spiritual movement and some feelings toward deities, but lacked the strong mediumistic perceptions of later years.

My youngest aunt was an important supporter at the start. She gave a sixty-thousand-dollar red envelope and helped for a long time with rent and other difficulties. To save money, I lived at the center on a very small beauty-treatment bed. Those years were not easy. Only later did I more fully feel the support and divine arrangement along the way.

Moving from interest to work and then guiding others' practice was unexpected even to me. My path involved learning, professional skills, and loved ones' support. I can share what I experienced, but others' situations need not be identical.
