I am the first person to say that some of my pet peeves are completely ridiculous. And yet, they’re mine so here goes… A few years ago there was a song that got a lot of airplay. The lyrics of the first verse were the following: “If I could grant you one wish, I wish…
The wounded warrior stands, to the last, to defend the castle. She or he is heroic, brave, true and defensive. And that last one isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on what we’re going through. Don’t get me wrong. I truly believe that sometimes we are under attack. Someone has it out for us and…
Yay! It’s another of my favorite cards in the deck. The Ace of Cups represents that first blush of love, or the spark of intuition that leads you in the right direction. It’s always the awareness of what you are feeling right when you are feeling it. It is one of the most optimistic cards…

Whether it’s a life of examination, meditation, communion with spirit, dedication to a craft, or the simple desire to be…
I find this card a hard one to write about. There are so many connotations that people find it hard to objective about this card. We tend to ascribe so many meanings, facets, and patinas to it that we never get to bottom of things. In my opinion, it is easy to put all the…
These are my thoughts on the card and its benefits so feel free to disregard, but I just had to share! If you are a Costco member, I highly encourage you to consider getting the Costco American Express True Earnings credit card. (BTW, I get no benefit whatsoever from anyone applying. I just wanted to…
Do you, like me, get asked for advice a lot? And do you, like me, sometimes cringe when you give your advice and immediately you watch the asker(s) go off and do the exact opposite of what you advised them to do. For years, I’ve cringed when I have witnessed this behavior. And recently, I’ve…
