Red-Tailed Hawk
November and December were challenging months in our household. Perhaps it was simply Mercury in retrograde, maybe the effects of long-term holiday sugar over-dosing, or whatever, but words were exchanged. Looks, too. And then, as it always does for us, it passed, like a bad cold, and harmony has been restored. It’s nice to be on the same team again. Right towards the end of this time of disturbance, husband Keith and I were heading into town together. We’d just gotten to the stop sign about a half...
Read MoreNew Year’s Resolution?
It’s that time of the year when the self-help writers tackle the topic of New Year’s Resolutions. How to make them and keep them. A couple of decades back someone thought of something new to add and wrote about the value of NOT making a resolution. claiming that making the resolution was a setup for failure.

Read MoreOracle and Tarot Cards
I thought oracle and tarot cards were all pretty much the same thing with just different pictures on them until I began working with them.

This is what ultimately lends itself to using our intuition to read the...

It seems that there was a time when each writer had some channeled knowledge of how the whole program worked from levels of development to the specific time between lives. Twenty years, 100 years, seven years. So many questions, so many answers given as though there were some definitive knowledge these writers held. More souls here now than 2,000 years ago? Where did they come from? Parallel lives? Other planets? Fun stuff to think about, but after...
Read MoreThe Power of an Idea
“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.”—Inception Sometimes our ideas seem to get lost or mixed up inside of us. We know the kind of person we’d like to be—a thin, healthy, nonsmoking, confident, successful, outgoing person. But the reality we experience can be far different than that idea. The movie Inception has really inspired me, validated for me in a sense, the idea that we are...
