I laughed out loud when I drew this card today! It is PERFECT. First of all, I posted this photo last night after the event that I facilitated with Rochelle Holt at Wonderworks, the Witch is IN. I captioned the image as “the Three of Cups”. And, TODAY, I am travelling to Austria, with my […]
Readers Studio 2018: Signs, The Divine, and New York Pizza
This was my fourth time attending Readers Studio. I’d like to write something witty and funny about my time there, but I’m still assimilating all I experienced, and what I experienced was profound. For an introvert and overly sensitive person like myself, a conference can be both beautiful and terrible. The people at Readers Studio […]
Monday Motivation: The Fool
The Fool. Everything and nothing. Pure potential. Living purely in the present. That sacred pause before you take your first full breath and leap into the world. Being born in joy and lightness, ready to join the cosmic dance with pure abandon. The Fool stands poised at the edge of a cliff, a beautiful figure […]
Monday Motivation: Knight of Cups
Here we have the archetypal Knight-in-shining-armor, a romantic figure on his elegant steed. Pure romance. It is mid-April, and we are in the midst of an ice storm. It is messy and very un-springlike out there. I woke up in a melancholy state, and then I pulled this card. This Knight was an unexpected and pretty […]
Monday Motivation: Four of Pentacles
This is what I feel like this morning. I want to draw in my energy, hold it within myself. I feel a little vulnerable, I want to wrap myself in a blanket and be cozy and held. I want to feel the earth solid and supportive beneath my feet. I want to keep a level […]
Monday Motivation: Ace of Swords
I’m an airy Gemini. I spend a lot of time in my own head. My imagination flies towards scenarios of possible triumph or disaster at lightning speed. I’ve gotten into a habit of running through a dizzying array of options before making a decision, which is exhilarating and also exhausting. I’m aware of this, and also […]
Once in a Blue Moon with Tarot
That magical moon…in the days up to a Full Moon I don’t sleep well. I DREAM. Vividly. The images are so clear, it’s like it’s happening in real life, or like watching a movie. This is both wonderful and terrible, depending on the subject matter of the dream. Do you feel the pull of the […]
Monday Motivation: Ace of Wands
I was dreaming all last night, but I can’t remember much beyond a feeling of excitement and anticipation. I woke up feeling a little lighter than usual, a little more expansive. Before I pulled my card of the day, I wrote this in my journal: [bctt tweet=”Feeling a big shift. Not making myself small anymore, […]
A Tarot Spread for the Spring Equinox
March 20th marks the beginning of Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and even though I still wore my winter parka today, my heart is starting to believe that gentler weather and green life will soon appear. I’m not a winter person, and by March I am sick of the sight of dirty snow, brown […]
Navigating Grief when your job is to hold space for others
Grief is different than I imagined it would be. About six months ago we lost my Dad, and I feel worse now, or I feel MORE now, than I did then. Grief has become a more visceral thing. When my Dad was sick, I shifted into pure adrenaline mode. My family created a pattern of […]
