I had dinner with an old college friend over the weekend. He’s been going through a rough patch for a bit — actually, it’s more than a “bit,” he’s been having challenges for years. A bad divorce, his kids are assholes and treat him badly, his career evaporated and he’s stuck working at a grocery …

2022: The Year of Rebuilding
Well, as if it hadn’t been crappy enough, 2021 decided to deliver one last kick in the shin with the passing of Betty White. In her nearly 100 years, she delivered laughs, compassion for animals, and general bad-assness. We could all take a lesson (or 5) from Miss Betty for the new year. Anyway, let’s …
Has COVID Made Us More Psychic?
I know. You – like me, like everyone else – is “sick to the back teeth” (thank you, my English friends for that phrase) about hearing about Covid. But hear me out on something I think is an unexpected side effect of this weird time. We’ve been in the Covid-tunnel for a year-plus. Lockdown, fear, …
What Does “Manifesting” Mean?
So I pulled this card today from my Angel Deck: Like many of us, I love the idea of “manifesting” what we want. It feels like “magic.” Just say something like “Abracadabra!” and presto, what we want shows up. But I’ve been thinking about it. It is both “easy” and “not so easy.” The “easy” …
“What Are You Saving It For, Honey?”
I took ballet class for many years. It was – and still is – a passion of mine. Although now, I just watch from my seat at the Met. There’s something that happens in class when you’re learning a combination: we call it “marking.” You’ll see dancers at the back of the studio, using their …
Letting Go of the Past
It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter, hasn’t it? Here in New Jersey, winter truly made us her bitch. But before we know it, the snow will be gone, the grass growing and I’ll be elbow-deep in mulch and new plants again. The cold nights and biting winds will be in the past. Thank the …
Pump Up Your (Protective) Volume
I had a client here the other day who felt every little thing, way too much. She cried for no reason, couldn’t sleep and generally didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. I could see – and feel—that her energy layers were too, for lack of a better word, “thin.” We all have a barrier …
What to Do When You’re Broken
In the last few weeks, several friends and clients have been hit hard. The sudden loss of a sister who was far too young. Major surgery which a father did not survive. Job loss and financial panic. January has well and truly sucked, let’s just say it. I ran into one of these people at …
Deer, Deer: Symbolism of the Deer
I love deer. My neighbors may complain that they eat everything in the yard, but I don’t care. No matter how often I see them nibbling in the dusk light, I hold my breath with wonder. The other night, I was blessed to have them respond to my invitation to eat the corn I placed …
How to Move Forward in 2014
Earlier this week, I wrote about how 2014 is a ‘7’ year – which means a year of increased intuitve powers, the ability to manifest things quickly and a year of healing, both inside and out. The corresponding Tarot card to this vibe is The Chariot. The guy in the cart is on the move. …
