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 […]
I got my first Tarot deck when I was around 13 years old. I don’t remember telling anyone that I wanted a deck, and I bought my own at a New Age shop that I adored (but sadly doesn’t exist anymore). Thirteen is an awkward age at the best of times, and even though I […]
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 […]
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 […]

If you’re in Toronto, […]

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 […]
Since I’ve been working mainly from home, I’ve become hyper-aware of my environment. It is now my universe, my haven, my office, my nest, my cubicle, my cave…most often my sanctuary, sometimes a claustrophobia and stir-craziness inducing place. For the past few weeks I have been spring cleaning and purging. And the fact that its […]
I love Friday the 13th. It’s always been a lucky day for me (that reminds me, pick up a lottery ticket today). I have a long history of loving the number 13 in general – I was born at 3:13pm, my sister was born at 11:13am (I think, but this may be family legend), which […]
