It was mid September in 2022 when I saw a world famous Japanese Astro-Palmist for the first time. He is who I first heard the term “watershed” from.

I was a skeptic - had been all my life when it came to palmistry. Although at the same time, I felt like on the inside, I really wanted to genuinely believe in the possibility that my future could be seen and told in my hands. If not to me, at least to someone with a trained eye that could tell me what they see in store for me.

I was looking for answers, deep answers - as people who go to astrologers, priests, mentors, guru’s, and in my case, an Astro-Palmist usually are. I was looking for guidance, for reassurance that I’m going in the ‘right’ direction. “Tell me I’m going to be wealthy! Tell me I’m going to be smart! Tell me I’m going to stay healthy! Tell me I’m going to be better! Tell me what business I should start! Tell me about my family! Tell me what to do!” I had tunnel vision on the wrong things. That should tell you a lot about what my state of mind was.

Lost. Confused. Full of doubt, feeling like I was just wasting time, and my life away. And in a last effort of hope, I sat down for one hour and I listened with a true open mind to hear what he saw in my little cold palms that he held in his.

I was 25. I had just had my first born the year prior. How can someone so young with a full life ahead of them feel such impending doom over the unknown?

Such is life.

He spoke in many metaphors, I took down pages worth of notes. I interrupted numerous times for clarification on what it was exactly he meant. He laughed a little whilst reassuring me my fate was good. I didn’t like it at the time. I felt like screaming “You silly man! I am drowning here! What am I supposed to be doing with my life! Just give me actionable information!”

Whilst a palm reading is extremely personal and unique (and can have changing outcomes) he did say one thing to me - that at the time I dismissed - but just recently, it clicked into place. Almost exactly 12 months later.

WATERSHED

noun - turning point

A watershed moment is a turning point, the exact moment that changes the direction of an activity or situation. A watershed moment is a dividing point, from which things will never be the same. It is considered momentous, though a watershed moment is often recognized in hindsight.

He told me that I would have one in the future, but ‘not to wait’ until the age he specified. Basically, live the questions now and live your way into the answers too.

That’s why I’m here, starting this blog. Sharing my art. To speak freely. To express my thoughts, my learnings, my beliefs, my questions, my shedding from a shadowed artist into a blooming one.

I am a Writer. A Mother. A Wife. A Sister. A Daughter. An Artist. A Romantic. A Optimistic. A Dreamer. A Believer. A Storyteller.

Welcome to WATER-SHED. I hope you enjoy your time here. Please, take what you need and leave what you don’t.

I’m pleased to have you and honoured you chose your time to read my words.

Words matter.

All my love,
Chenise Sinclaire.
