About: Thanks for stopping by. I’m Stephanie. I’ve been with Psychic Source since 1994, started in Customer Service and worked my way into the Marketing Department. I love what we do and think we do it pretty darn well. My life long interest in spirituality and the psychic arts fits in well with my professional life at Psychic Source. Yup, I’m one of the lucky ones. I get to do what I love and get paid for it. Not a bad gig. Since we launched our blog, we have written numerous articles from news and information about our Psychics to analyzing the astrological charts of potential Presidential nominees, and everything in between. What is really important to me is what you want to see on the blog. What are you passionate about? Do you have something you'd like me to explore? If there is something in particular you'd like to learn more about and it is psychic, spiritual, life experience related, or anything for that matter, drop me a line. As long as it is within reason and legal, I’ll check it out. See ya “out there” on the blog!See Authors Posts (11)

Is it cheesy that I, a 36-year-old married woman, get excited about the new movie release of the Twilight saga’s Eclipse?

I must admit, at first I resisted the idea of picking up the books, but after being urged to do so by a trusted friend, who thrust upon me copies of the Vampire Romance novels by Stephenie Meyer, how could I resist? And, I curse my friend to this day…because once I picked up Twilight and read the first page, I ate it up and greedily devoured the others – New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, and even Midnight Sun – which is Twilight from Edward’s point of view – a work in progress in PDF format on Stephenie Meyer’s website.

I couldn’t get enough. I had to know what was going to happen with Bella and Edward, and Jacob and Bella, and would they ever get Victoria before she got to Bella?  Many nights I would be up until 2am, reading in bed, with my trusty book lamp lighting the way, while my husband snoring blissfully, and occasionally waking up, making sleepy comments about my obsession with vampires, which he still teases to this day.

As I reflect back on that reading addiction, and now, my impatience for the movie releases, I make feeble justifications for my temporary insanity…it is literature, it affects culture and societal views, and it appears to be encouraging the young and young at heart to read more. What is it about this series that is so compelling? I can’t put my finger on it.

So, did you rush out to see Eclipse? Did you watch Twilight and New Moon (again) before seeing it? Please tell me I’m not alone!
