The way I see it, you need these on speed-dial: a plumber, mechanic, lawyer, and in my house, a chicken place that delivers. I would add to that, a good psychic. I’m not talking about hitting up Madame Lasagna at the boardwalk. I’m talking about those of us who are truly, sharply tuned in to the …
A Secret About “The Secret”
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 …
