I am officiating a wedding on Monday (my first Christmas Eve wedding). Interestingly, while I’ve been percolating on the ceremony since the groom asked me to officiate early last week (not a lot of notice, I know, but I’m sure I can handle it), I haven’t written much of it yet. Do any of you…
I have been reading a bunch of blogs and articles on how we need to stop kids from being bullied because they are gay. Today, especially, there are a few articles because Nate Silver (the statistitian who so accurately predicted Obama’s re-election) is gay and the news about it went public yesterday. So, today, blog…
Delta airlines So, here is how Delta airlines baited and switched me into paying extra for my ticket. I have always believed that if you purchase a ticket for a plane ride, then by gum, you should have a seat for that plane ride. And Delta agrees with that part of it. Certainly, they gladly…
So, Skyfall. [spoilers abound so be warned] It was great in many ways. I enjoy Craig as Bond. I enjoyed Bardem as Silva (I do understand that some might call his performance over the top and I agree to an extent. But he did the split between mad villain and toddler who wants his mommy,…
I have been inspired! Here is the list of all my amazing teachers who taught, inspired, and most of all cared. Mrs. Molodovsky: (first grade). She saw an immigrant child who spoke no English and had pretty much nothing. She spent time with me outside of school. She took me to the zoo and while…
Balance, Strength, Flexibility. I could say these are words to live by this week. But then I’d have to add, action, passion, and compassion as well. This draw of cards is pretty impressive, actually. You don’t often see so much positive show up in one three-card draw. Let me go get my shades (’cause our…
Ups and Downs Emotionally? Oh yay! (This week’s cards: King of Cups, Page of Cups [reversed], Seven of Swords) I feel like I should be quoting cheesy 80s love song lyrics here, for some reason. But I think I’ll just say that if you put yourself out there emotionally, if you are honest about your…
Last night’s tarot/palm gig was a doozy. I don’t normally read until 1:30 in the morning, but last night, I did and I will pay the price for my late night. However, it was AWESOME (for the most part)! I heard the words, “how could you possibly *know* that?” and “did you Google me?” more…
This week, we need to make our own luck (except that sometimes we make bad luck as well as good luck, so know exactly what you want before you go for it). The cards are: Wheel of Fortune, The Magician, Knight of Swords (reversed). Things aren’t really in our control right now. We might be…
This week’s cards: Two of Pentacles (reversed), Seven of Cups (reversed), Two of Cups (reversed). This is a sort of “duck and cover” week. It’s not a week for risk-taking. It’s not a week to try and juggle more than you realistically can juggle. My big advice: hunker down and wait it out except in…
