I am an introvert. That is not a confession, it is a proud declaration. I’m not shy. Or a shrinking violet. Or timid or antisocial. I happen to love my own company. I love having time to think, to daydream, to write, to read, to walk and listen to the sounds around me and to […]
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 […]
I discovered Orbital Arts Gallery at a time in my life when everything felt magical (it still does, but it was different then, and new). I should say Orbital Arts found me, and pulled me in. I was in grad school studying something not so practical, while living in what I thought was the coolest […]
I love to luxuriate in a Tarot reading session. It is wonderful to have an hour, or longer, to explore the cards with a client or for myself, to go in deep, and to work with an extensive Tarot spread or to just keep laying out those cards freeform. Recently, though, I know that many […]
At the end of 2019 I bought myself two beautiful 2020 planners. This is an annual ritual, I love choosing those books, imagining how I will fill them, all the plans I will make and adventures I’ll have. Now those 2020 planners are a bit dusty, thrown aside in a pile of papers that I […]
I have a cat named Willow who I adore. She is uncharacteristically sweet for a cat, but she is unquestionably the reigning monarch of our home. Every day at about 6:00am she wakes me up, looking for her breakfast. She has many tools in her arsenal that cannot be ignored, from literally walking all over […]
I am seeing a shift in the reasons why people are booking Tarot readings with me. When the pandemic first hit, people were booking readings for very practical topics. Many were navigating the challenges and opportunities of “regular” life, looking for fulfilling work, considering purchasing a home, hoping to find a partner or improve a […]
Last Friday, just for fun, I posted this in my Toronto Tarot Circle Facebook group: I loved the responses I got. Some were very confident, and the card they think they are and actually are were one and the same. Some were introspective, expressing a deep self awareness and also a sense of humor. My […]
As I’m writing this, I am so tired. Happy, but tired. October is GO time for Tarot readers. Private clients, events, classes… And, I’ve been really busy officiating lovely Autumn weddings. It’s Monday. I worked all weekend, teaching Tarot and marrying some lovely people. I’m sitting here at the computer, determined to write something, but […]
I had a conversation about New Year traditions at the hair salon yesterday. My lovely long time stylist asked me if there is anything I do in particular, and I mentioned that I have adopted some customs that I learned about in Japan, like eating Toshikoshi Soba for long life, strength and to welcome the New […]
