Today marks the day that 15 years ago my mother died.  She was only 56, so when I think of her she's young and vibrant with her great smile and silly sense of humor.  I am becoming my mother and that makes me proud!  She did a pretty good job (exhibit A is telling you this) and I'm so glad she got to get...

Today I did a really amazing reading with someone who has seen me face to face and had a phone reading before.  She asked about her dogs, and then who was around her.  You know who showed up to chat?  God.  Yup.  The big guy.  Now those of you who know me will agree that I'm not a preacher by any means, I was raised Catholic and it just didn't do it for me, and up until about 12 years ago I would have argued that the whole God thing is a great story but in my min...

I had an interesting reading this morning with a woman who had lost a friend recently.  She wanted reassurance that she was alright, although she knew deep down that she was.  But there was that sense of not really knowing what happens when you die that left a tinge of fear.  Here's how it was explained to her.

Everything we do gets written down on a huge white dry erase board.  Lots of people fear that when they get to the pearly gates or face "God" he's going to ju...

You know those moments, days or years when you get stuck on something or someone and you justs can't seem to let it or them go?  Well, I had one last week.  And to be honest, it really just flat out pissed me off.  Why is life so hard some times?  I KNOW that things happen for a reason. I KNOW timing can make or break a situation.  I KNOW that it all works out exactly as it should, but dammit sometimes that just sucks and all the knowing in the world doesn't make it a...

I really enjoyed pulling cards for you yesterday, so I'm doing it again today.  I debated what to ask and finally settled on two questions.  What have you forgotten about who you are and what are you capable of when you fully surrender?

I will tell you that as I tried to shuffle this deck, which is one of the more "witchy" ones I use, I had a really hard time phrasing the question until it felt right, and twice I dropped about half the deck.  That just tells me that I'm n...

Quite often I get asked if I read cards.  Yes.  But not the way a traditional Tarot reader does.  My psychic sense directs me more than the true interpretation of the card.  Meaning I don't have a set meaning for what a certain suit or number means every time I pull it.  The same card can have very different meanings to me, but will be totally appropriate and "decodable" for your given situation and question.  

I'm going to use my Housewife Tarot deck...

Spring is a really good time to take inventory of your current situation.  Not the past, not what you're going to have tomorrow, but what's in your closets today.  Those closets could be literal or figurative.  What do you have?  Think about it.

Love?  Anger?  Joy?  Peace? Financial Security?  Family?  Time off?  Fun?  Stress?  Pain?  Relief?  Faith?  Abunance?  Resentment?  Success?

This list cou...

Yesterdays post is a good lead in to chat about expectations.  Some part of me has this expectation that my son should want to put a worm on a hook and enjoy all the boyness of the act.  When I was his age I hated touching the squirmy things so it seems odd that I would think he'd like it.  So are my expectations that my 9 year old son (who hates getting really dirty) will do this on his own perhaps unrealistic?  Yes.  Yesterday when we went fishing I told him that he...

Now if you could hear the sarcasm lacing the title "Mother's Day" you would know right away this isn't going to be a warm and fuzzy post about  how the joys of motherhood are all wrapped up into this one day.  And no, breakfast was not served to me in bed this morning.  I actually had to toast my son's waffles (home made pumpkin spice ones I made and had in the freezer) and hand it to him while he sat on the couch watching mind numbing tv.  After I type this, I'm driving h...

Two weeks ago I got the crud that has been going around.  It started with the chills, then my skin hurt (if you've had it you know exactly what I'm talking about), my body then purged itself, then it progressed to an annoying cough before settling into my sinuses.  After 10 days I was on antibiotics and two weeks later I'm still dragging a bit. 

While I was laying in bed wishing I had someone to bring me a cold facecloth and maybe some soup I figured since my body was du...

I am not the psychic that sits and reads books on what I do.  In college I read books on paganism simply because it fascinated me that the "witchy" holidays and celebrations were so similar to the "religious" ones I'd been taught as a child, but they made more sense to me.  I read books by Silver Ravenwolf and some other people I've long since forgotten the names of.  Then I read The Other Side and Back by Sylvia Browne in around 1999, and that really got me turned on to all th...

I have had some pretty crazy and intense experiences with energy in my house.  One time I could feel this mans energy walking towards my room from the hallway.  I could "feel" him creeping towards my room and I'd wake up from a sound sleep all sorts of freaked out.  One time it was so bad I debated leaving for the night but my son was in his crib and I figured that waking him up would have been even more disruptive, so I asked for my angels and mother to keep us safe.  The...

There have always been scary things happening in the world.  I'm grateful I've grown up in a safe time and country, but that could change.  Scary thought, huh?  So what can we do to help shift from fear and anger to light and love?  Intend for it to be so. 

When I imagine the people...

What does a Chakra Clearing mean, anyway?  I can only tell you what it means to me, and I may be oversimplifying it.  We're all made of energy.  We have energy centers that start at our lower pelvis, which is red, and they go up the colors of the rainbow until the forehead, which is violet, then up and out our heads is a brilliant white.  We hold emotions in these centers, and those emotions can manifest into physical ailments.  When a chakra is blocked, then there's ...

Years ago when I saw John Edward (Or Johnathan?  The psychic, not the politician) on a television show the host asked him to do a quick read on him.  He said he wouldn't do that because he likes to get ready first.  That made me a little skeptical of his abilities, because up till now I've considered myself lucky to be able turn my psychic gifts on or off simply by closing or opening my eyes.  By refusing to read the host on the spot, he was protecting his energy. Somethi...

The other day the bottom door to my woodstove got stuck on the ash drawer inside.   No matter what I tried I could not open it, which meant I couldn't really build a good fire or empty it out.  Z helped, I swore at it (when he wasn't around), I begged for the angels, tried searching for information or ad...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted!  Which is funny, because I often see my life in mini blog posts.  Apparently I've been busy!  And I really have been.  I deemed 2015 my year.  This is the year I am going to get my shit together and do things I enjoy like embracin abundance, enjoying music, being outdoors and writing.  I'm going to surround myself with awesome people and perhaps even find love.  So far things are going pretty well!  I've bee...

Have you met me?  I like to talk.  So does my child.  He gets to sleep in my bed once a week and last night we snuggled up.  I didn't sleep very well.  Actually, I'm not sure I would even call my time in my bed last night sleep.  I was thirsty, tired, awake, thinking and revisiting the past week in my head and wondering about what this week has in store.  Not what you should be doing while your body and mind regroup!  But last night was not my night to ...

On Thursday we said goodbye to our sweet Sophie.  She was a 9 year old yellow lab, too young to die and too healthy looking to believe something was wrong until the months before her passing.  She jumped like no other dog I've ever met, would greet everyone with a gigantic barking fit then would thread herself through your legs, almost knocking you down if you weren't expecting it.  Sophie was the child we had before we had Z.  She was sweet, frustrating, gentle and a chip...

I am so excited for the upcoming online classes I'm teaching!  Starting the first week I'll be back to teaching my online Animal Communicating and Tuning In classes followed by Shedding Layers and Defining You.  The last two are new and are going to knock your socks off!  Seriously.  I am beyond psyched for you to participate! 

So I was telling someone the other day about how I teac...
