The other day I was at the dentist for a cleaning. Usually this wouldn’t be an event worth mentioning, but for the past two pandemic years any kind of outing is noteworthy. I’ve always had some trepidation around going to the dentist. There is something about the experience that activates my mild claustrophobia. I don’t […]
On the weekend I went for a hike in a beautiful conservation area. Well, hike is a grandiose way of saying it, a brisk walk is less impressive but more accurate terminology. It was Valentine’s Day weekend (I like to stretch out the celebrations) and I had planned this walk to look at a waterfall […]
Here we are in February, and Valentine’s Day beckons (or looms) on the horizon. I know there are those of you out there who hate it, who say it’s commercial and contrived, that it makes single people feel alienated and judged and makes people who are in a relationship feel pressured or obligated. I hear […]
I approach Tarot readings about LOVE with the utmost respect, compassion, and gentle but persistent honesty. Love is one of the most common reasons that people consult the Tarot, and yet people are often apologetic or sheepish when they ask about it.

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. However, I do believe that there is a collective power and energy as we begin a New Year together. At this time it is natural to think about where we are, where we want to be, and the changes that we need to make to get […]
The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year. We go into the darkness, and then we welcome the return of the sun with joy and optimism for the future. Although this is a merry time, often spent in celebration with family and friends, it is also a time of reflection. […]

Here are my hopes for the year, I send this out with belief that it shall be: A year of making choices that are aligned with love, compassion and with the intention of fostering unity Acting with authenticity and independence Valuing the relationships and love in […]
So here we are, almost at the end of 2021. Let’s let that sink in for a moment. And breathe. This year has felt very long. So many wonderful things, and so many worries. Many triumphs and losses. Everyone and everything feels very precious. Life has been unsettled and uncertain and also has reminded us […]
We have almost reached the end of 2021. 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 say farewell to this strange year, and to start 2022 with hope and determination and in anticipation of […]
Lunar eclipses are intense times for us moon worshippers and sensitive souls. Sometimes I feel the power as a call to action, magically speaking. But at other times, I feel a drawing in, an invitation to reflect and let things unfold. Right now, I feel the drawing in. The Moon is asking me to slow […]
