I have been on a long progression of weirdness my entire life. Think about it… by the time I was 7 or 8 years old, I was already a gay, part Cherokee, musical, psychic, angel chattering, car loving, sci-fi nerd, who either wanted to be a singer or an astronaut. Oh, and I had a hopeless crush on Donnie Osmond. All of this in east Tennessee.
The funny part is I didn’t really know how weird I was until I entered elementary school. That’s when the few “friends” I did have dropped me like a hot potato as the sissy weirdo label got painted all over me by kids meeting me for the first time.
Oh, and don’t forget I had a weird name.
Being outside the norm (whatever that is) didn’t really start to benefit me until I was clear out of college. That’s when I got my first accounting job and – lo and behold – a funny, smart, different kind of accountant was apparently highly desired.
As time went by, I started to get pretty brave about my weirdness. I started to fearlessly wave it around for everyone to see. But I really started to let my freak flag fly when my career as a spiritual teacher took off. The more I was myself, the more people just appreciated me. That’s when the sequins and the sparkly shoes all came out of the closet (pardon the pun) and started sparkling on stages around the world.
Nowadays, I am so incredibly grateful for my weirdness. For some reason, it’s been very much on my mind lately about how boring my life would be without it. And I’m also very aware how I would’ve made choices that would probably have never led me to where I am in my life today.
Happy.
Don’t get me wrong… my life isn’t perfect. Or at least not the version of perfect I might make up in my mind (or ego.) But I don’t think anyone sees their life as perfect. But I do have a lot to be grateful for. Even with all of its insanity, there are lots of ways that 2020 has been powerfully transformative for me in a very positive way. Every time I come up with something that other marketing teams might think are super weird, my team just stands up and applauds! Who knew that at this point in my life I’d be trying to out weird my own weirdness!
My main point here is that I am so very grateful for my weird. I am so very grateful for my life. I started this month talking about wanting November to be a month of gratitude and as we approach the American Thanksgiving, I couldn’t possibly feel more blessed.
I hope that you also feel the freedom to be who you truly are as we speed headlong into the holiday season. My team and I have a lot of fun planned for you in December and I can’t wait to share it with you. But first, I want to wish you a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Weirdly yours,
~Radleigh
Hope, not fear.
For many in the US (and around the world) this week is one filled with anxiety and worry. Astrologically, the energy is wonky and many people’s fears are at a heightened level because of world events that feel super-charged by retrograde planets and unhappy aspects in...
Your Unique Spiritual Super Power
For many, many years I had a radio show called Magical Things with Radleigh Valentine. (Hay House Radio officially went off the air last November.) The majority of that show was me giving readings to callers as well as those who posted questions on Facebook and...
Energetic Weather Report for October 25th – 31
Last week’s Energetic Weather Report really told a story. This week’s feels like Chapter 2 of that same tale. A lot of energy is being expended trying to manage multiple tasks indicating the need for more play. There’s some indecision but also a lot of progress....
What exactly is a miracle?
This has been a year of spiritual growth for me. I do not talk about this much, but my relationship with my father was not a positive thing. I had done a lot of work on that over the years, but I also came into 2020 thinking “enough is enough” and that it was time for...

Radleigh, you’re not weird or freaky.. You are unique, a beautiful soul who is living your inner truth. One who shares and enlightens others. Keep letting your inner diamond sparkle
Radleigh, you may be “weird, but in the most gorgeous,
unique way. You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for all that you do.
Bless you for celebrating your weirdness , it is this that attracts your worldwide Soul family , so grateful for your overflowing abundance of love that pours out
Thank you Rad – you light up my life . I also was considered ‘weird’ as a child because I used to tell my Mum what was going on in other peoples lives. Brought up in a narrow Welsh chapel environment these things were not encouraged ! Now in my early 70ies – I am free to develop my ‘weirdness’ . I have loved your Tarot and Mediumship Course – you and Heather have brought inspiration and comfort during these unusually difficult days . Love and light – from a very wet and gloomy Wales .Enjoy your Thanksgiving .Babs x
I’ve only met a couple of truly weird people in my 74 years and you definitely are not one of them. You are unique, lovable, funny, engaging, honest, delightful and so knowledgeable about tarot & angels. I always look forward to your weekly readings and they are spot on – even when I have to go back and review what’s gone on in my life and realize what signs I’ve missed – like the feather in the empty birdbath that made me decide to keep it, after I’d put it up for sale.
Thank you for who you are. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Even with this rocky 2020 there is much to be thankful for.
My first impression was :O :D. I have seen my life as perfect once. It was my awakening day… but lost it. 😉 I remember that day, that I was struggling with my health and once I lost all my addictions (TV, food), I went to my mothers kitchen.. or was it living room and said: You know, we live in a paradise. Jesus was right when talked about Gods Kingdom. So there is hope for perfect life.
All the best!
Hey Radleigh, you know what? I also had a crush on Donny Osmond too! He surely was a hottie back then and still is. This weeks readin and your message was right on point, spiritual and magical. Super special blessings, love and light!
So very thrilled you stayed “weird”, giving so many so much.
Being who we truly are opens amazing magic in our lives! Thank you for your courage, honesty, humor and above al your whimsical weirdness. Weirdly wonderous Angel lovers unite! The recent combination of the Angel Wisdom Tarot and the T&M class with Heather Hildebrand have unlocked wondrous possibilities for me. (And I thought being retired would be a quiet time! HA! ) The Divine has big plans ….. see you in Mastermind Class .
