I admit it – when it comes to nurseries, garden centers or roadside plant sales, I’m like a crackwhore. My happiest mornings are when, coffee in hand, I can walk up and down the rows at my favorite garden place, picking up a new plant or flat of annuals to brighten up my yard. Gardening …

Talk to Your Pet: Some How-To’s
I’m big on combos: Peanut butter and jelly. Solids and stripes. Jagger and Richards. So it wasn’t a huge leap to combine my psychic ability with my love for critters and become an Animal Communicator. Learning to tweak the radar to interact with animals has been a profound experience. Besides the unconditional love and humor …
The Psychic’s Guide to Handling Pains In the Ass
Let’s face it: no matter how spiritual you try to be, at some point, you will encounter people who are — to put it bluntly — pains in the ass. They push your buttons, work your last nerve, make you want to punch something. They can be a co-worker, neighbor, boss, family member, client. They …
How To Become More Psychic
I’m a big believer that everyone – EVERYONE — is psychic. Whether it’s a hunch, first impression or gut feeling, intuition is hardwired into our system. It was a survival skill back in the day – and can still save you from a whole lot of aggravation, if you only trust it more. Admit it: …
“Curses!” Or How They Get In Your Head
Not long ago, I had a woman come in for a reading. Well-dressed, educated, well-spoken — and absolutely terrified. It seems that she’d been to another reader earlier in the week, and was told that she’d been “cursed.” She hemmed, hawed, tried to laugh it off, because, really, who believes in those things…. But as …
Don’t Fear the Reader
She leaned across the table and said, “I had you come here this afternoon while he’s not here, because he thinks this stuff is like black magic….” (Sigh) Man, if I had a dime for every time I’ve heard that psychics are spawns of the devil, I’d be writing this from a beach In Turks …
Psychic Encyclopedia: The Trickster
I just learned about something called “The Trickster.” Not to be confused with T-Rex, Jeepster (love this song). The Trickster is just what it sounds like: an entity with a slightly warped sense of humor. Your keys go missing, your reading glasses vanish, your checkbook was JUST THERE and it disappears. Some of it may …
Psychic Skill: Psychometry
Sometimes, I’ll just be sitting at Olive Garden, inhaling the endless breadsticks,when a Psychic Emergency strikes. Someone needs a reading! When I don’t have my cards or crystals handy, I turn to “psychometry.” Psychometry is the art of object reading. You hold something belonging to the subject as a way to link in with their …
Angels: They’re Not Just for Christmas Anymore
This time of year there are angels everywhere: in malls, on Christmas cards, hanging from my neighbor’s roof — you name it. I like the ones at Rockefeller Center myself: We tend to focus on the one angel who brought the news of Jesus’s birth – and that would be Archangel Gabriel. Now I know …
Drag Queens and The Devil
I’m obsessed with drag queens. I love them. RuPaul’s Drag Race is my not-so-guilty pleasure, and To Wong Foo is one of my favorite movies. Now what could a middle-aged Methodist from a small town who personally prefers Land’s End over Louboutins find in this world of sequins, wigs and general diva-liciousness? I think it …
