My boss is a jerk. She doesn’t let me take any vacation time, even lunch hour is frowned upon. She is constantly criticizing me in front of other people. She expects me to work around the clock, to say yes to everything, to be available for clients or admin at all hours of the day […]

Why Am I Hanging On to this stuff? De-clutter with Tarot
Since I’ve been working mainly from home, I’ve become hyper-aware of my environment. It is now my universe, my haven, my office, my nest, my cubicle, my cave…most often my sanctuary, sometimes a claustrophobia and stir-craziness inducing place. For the past few weeks I have been spring cleaning and purging. And the fact that its […]
Fearlessly Into the Shadows: Readers Studio Tarot Conference 2016
This year’s Readers Studio Tarot Conference stirred up a lot. We went deep. We went fearlessly into the shadows, faced our own demons, doubts and nightmares, and came out feeling blessed.

Give Yourself Permission to Take a Breather (even from Tarot)
One of the biggest challenges of running your own business is adjusting to the new flow of life and work, the way that they seem to just melt into each other. My personal, on-going, quest is to learn how to give it a rest, to allow myself to take a breather once in a while. […]
What do you do when your hobby becomes your job?
What is your hobby? When I taught English in Japan, one of the most common questions I was asked by students, Japanese friends, anyone who was brave enough to practice their fledgling English skills was “What is your hobby?”. The first time I heard this question, it sounded funny to me. I mean, we just […]

This past year has been exciting, anxiety-inspiring, busy, quiet, rewarding, nerve-wracking…this was my year of launching into the world of the entrepreneur.
