We have finally reached the last month of 2020. I don’t want to celebrate the end of the year too soon. I don’t want to express any hubris or tempt the Fates. But, I will be happy to see this year go, and to start 2021 with hope and determination. At this time of year, […]
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 […]
September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. As I write this, it is 27 degrees (Celsius) and sunny outside my window, and I haven’t been a formal full time student for many years now…but part of me is still thinking about buying sweaters and exciting […]
I’m not a big fan of arbitrary New Year’s resolutions, but I find that it’s natural when we hit the end of any cycle and the beginning of a new one to think about where we are, where we want to be, and what changes we need to make to get there. Rather than creating […]
The other day I had three distinct professional roles to play. First, I had a meeting with a lovely young woman who is looking for a wedding officiant for her upcoming big day. Here, I saw myself as the High Priestess…composed, serene…well, official and ceremonial! You may argue that wedding officiating may fall into the bailiwick of […]
Today marks the Summer Solstice in our dear Northern Hemisphere. The Summer Solstice is a magical time on many levels. Living in the north, most of us long for this day, for the official coming of summer, of warmth, ease, freedom. This is a time when the sun stands still at its highest point in […]
It’s my birthday on Sunday (June 5). I have always loved my birthday. Deep in the heart of Gemini, at the time when the weather starts to really cooperate with us, just at the outset of summer holidays…when I was a kid, I took a certain pride in the fact that the two most significant […]
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. Sound like a relaxing weekend away? That’s not the word I would choose…it was blissful, intensive, illuminating, draining, overwhelming and inspiring, and I can’t wait […]
Love is a tricky thing. We don’t always think straight when we’re in the middle of that whirlwind of new love…we may lose perspective when we’ve been in a relationship for a long time…at all stages we tend to fall into patterns, some that serve us well, others not so well. This is one (of […]
A lot of people come to me to consult the Tarot about matters of the heart, relationships, LOVE.

So many accomplished, […]
