Being in business for yourself is a carnival, an adventure. Ups and downs, highs and lows, amazing possibilities, small triumphs and constant lessons. Things have a greater degree of smoothness and serenity than when I was just starting out, but still, I am hanging on to that turning Wheel of Fortune this year. When you’re an entrepreneur, […]
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. […]
The other day my sister sent me a link to an article called, “7 German Words We Should be Using in English”. She highlighted one word in particular, one that beautifully expressed a not so beautiful tendency that we both have (although I think more so ME than her). That word is “Kopfkino”.

The first time I heard this question, it sounded funny to me. I mean, we just […]
Inner Goddess Tarot turns one year old I am just about to celebrate successfully surviving my first OFFICIAL year in business as Inner Goddess Tarot. (Give me a moment to do a happy dance and then perhaps have a little cry). According to the Tarot, for me, 2015 is a Wheel of Fortune year. This […]
I am not naturally a group kind of person. Not to say that I’m antisocial, but I am an introvert, and I don’t naturally thrive in large group situations like seminars or conferences. I don’t always want to share my feelings, reveal my innermost thoughts, or go around the room in a circle and introduce […]
