There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. The Hermit has chosen a life of solitude, but she or he is not lonely. There is a purity of purpose to his/her solitude. 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…
Yegads, how do I write about the Tower? It’s change. It comes upon you. It often takes you by surprise. It kicks your butt and often, very often, it leaves you bedraggled and exhausted but clinging to a new shore on which you will leave a vastly different and generally better life. When a client…
I’ve begun prepping for my next gallbladder/gallstone cleanse. I’m doing the cleanse Sunday into Monday (so look for me to be moaning and groaning if I do make it onto my computer, at all). In the meantime, I’m on black walnut/wormwood/cloves tinctures. And all my water will have apple cider vinegar in it until after…
I chose the Star back on January 10th so if you want to read that write-up and apply it to your life today, please find it here. Here is today’s take on the card. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how what we do makes us who we are. If you make…
Trust. In essence, this card is about trust. Wherever we find ourselves, we need to trust that we are seeing what we are seeing and more importantly that we are feeling what we’re feeling. We have to trust that it is okay to feel what we feel. Sure, if we are experiencing emotions that are…
Tonight, the fab Rich Potter took me to see “The Other Place,” as part of my Birthday present (that we celebrated on his Birthday). Here’s my mostly spoiler-free review: The writing is well done for the most part. I only had one “goink” where I wondered about the logic of what the playwright had set…
Ah, the Queen of Cups is one of my favorite cards in the deck. She represents the compassionate, generous, creative aspect of the deck like few other cards. Not only that, but she reminds us that while we are being compassionate, giving, generous, and tender toward everyone else, not to forget ourselves. “Sure!” she says….
