Joanne's future looks bright

JOANNE Simpson was already quite comfortable with where her life was heading.
So she was more than pleased to have her decisions confirmed during a close encounter with Australian psychic Deb Webber earlier this week.
Joanne, from Marton, was the winner of a Wanganui Chronicle competition which gave her a private audience with Ms Webber after her Wanganui show.
"She is a wonderful person? so down to earth. Just a normal person with no airy fairies," Joanne said.
"And I was very pleased with what she told me. She reckons I'm on the right path, and I was happy about that."
Where Joanne is heading, in the near future, is out on to the highways and byways of New Zealand in an 11m house bus ? "The Mobile House Of Fun" ? that she shares with partner Mike O'Connor and son David.
She said Deb Webber made it clear that "everything would be fine" during their journey down the endless road to wherever.
Joanne is not an absolute believer in the occult or psychic powers, although she has, on occasion, attended clairvoyance sessions.
"I like going along to listen to what they have to say? it's good fun and it does help you get your life sorted out and sends you on the right track," she said.
She had also watched the Sensing Murder television series in which Deb Webber applied her psychic powers to try and unravel unsolved murders, so had no hesitation about taking up her competition prize and sharing the session with her mother, Pat Simpson, also from Marton.
"I knew when I won the prize that there had to be a reason? and there was," she said.
During the 20-minute session Ms Webber provided some advice (via Joanne's late father) on issues affecting other family members, but Joanne says she will leave her mother to sort those out.
