Today's Tarot: Two of Swords (impasse, emotional stalemate)

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…

Review of "The Other Place" at the Manhattan Theatre Club

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…

Today's Tarot: Queen of Cups (compassion, tenderness, generosity, creative energy)

Today's Tarot: Queen of Pentacles (creativity, productivity, peace, work)

Whenever I draw this card, it reminds me to enjoy the processes of my life. Sure, there are tons of things we all have to do. Often, the thought or even the stress of getting ready to do them makes them seem bigger, than they are. And when we actually bite the bullet and start,…

Today's Tarot: Five of Rods (conflict, battle, altercations)

When I was a kid, I had a poster on my wall. It said, “Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they actually look forward to the trip.” In some ways, that statement typifies the brighter facets of this card. Yes, sometimes, we can’t help but…
