I’ve recently been revisiting that book, The Secret. It’s not quite as trendy as it was about 5 years back, but its discussion of the Law of Attraction is as relevant as ever. The book’s thesis – that thoughts are magnetic –feels right to me, and is being backed up by science. Focusing your mental …
Magical Driving Tips
I live just outside of New York City, where driving is a ninja-skill. Crazed commuters on the West Side Highway, distracted moms in mini-vans, stressed- out shoppers in mall parking lots; trust me, this is Driver’s Ed on steroids. So I take certain steps to ensure that I’m not unneccesarily sideswiped by some idiot in …
Taking Care of Tarot Cards
My first Tarot deck is celebrating a birthday: 27 years ago this month I got them and spent a happy summer learning all about this wonderful art. This deck — a Rider-Waite, for those who are interested — has been through a lot –A LOOOOOTTTTT — of readings since then. I’ve picked up other decks …
Why Bad Stuff Happens-An Opinion
Let me just start this blog by saying that I need a good foot massage. And a drink. Or three. The last few days have been spent with either friends or clients, all of whom have had some bout with serious illness. Lyme disease, cancer – the biggies. I’m wiped. Their struggles have been epic, …
Animals On the Other Side
Losing a pet is one of the worst — the WORST — things ever. I’ve had clients cry more over a lost animal friend than the loss of a parent. There’s something about our critters that touches us on a very deep level, and I totally get the emotions. So a big box of Kleenex …
Grounding Your Psychic Energy
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 …
How the Dead See Us
We’re hitting the Memorial Day weekend, and although its become associated with barbecues, beer and that scary moment when you display your winter-white legs in shorts for the first time, it really IS about “memorial” — as in, remembering those who’ve passed on in service to our country. Whether you’ve lost a military family member …
How to Remember (and Use) Your Dreams
The other night I dreamt I was about to go on stage in front of thousands of people, to play bass with the Stones. Only I don’t know how to play. And unlike flying or breathing underwater, I didn’t know how to do it in the dream, either. Here I was gonna be standing next …
Being “Cracked Open” to Spirit
I was having breakfast at my local diner yesterday. It’s the kind of place where everyone pretty much knows everyone — and the hostess, “L,” knows I’m an intuitive. So as I worked on a short stack, she sat with me and asked why she’s all of a sudden started seeing the spirits of her …
20 Simple Steps to A Better Life
I was cleaning out some stuff the other day and stumbled across this. Words very much worth paying attention to. Oprah couldn’t have said it better. THE NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS 1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak. 2. Be tolerant …
