We’re cat people. That means we’ve had plenty of kitties owning us over the past thirty years. Midnight was an elegant Burmese with impeccable manners. Sparkle was our neurotic boy that hated everyone except me. Pai Mei was a shy fellow who was gone way too soon. TaoZen was our only non-black cat, a grey […] More
When my mother was a little girl, she loved playing with her baby dolls. Her goal was to be a mother, so that wasn’t surprising. She hoped her daughters would be like her, so we were gifted baby dolls. Alas, my sister and I had different agendas. My nose was always in a book, while […] More
The tarot interwebs were all abuzz about a TikTok video about how to spot a “real” tarot reader. Some folks were not down with what this reader had to say. I do much on that platform, so I missed the hype and had to do a search to figure out the fuss. I was not […] More
I did a live unboxing of a tarot deck a few weeks ago. These are great fun and a way to update my community on the latest decks. However, I couldn’t hide my disappointment as I thumbed through the cards. The art was decent, and so was the card stock. My issue was with the […] More
In case you didn’t know, we’ve hit a record for the hottest day ever. Yep, the earth is scorched with the highest temperatures since we began keeping track. Even if you love summer, this isn’t a good development. People, plants, and animals are at risk. Plus, the sweltering temps can cause wild fires. Speaking of […] More
The Moon and planets guide my every move. I follow the transits of the stars closely so I can be aware of what energy is operating. I’ve done this since I’ve been a teenager. Astrology never failed me…but I’ve failed it on many occasions. Just this past week, I was warning folks about the Mars-Uranus […] More
Maybe it’s because I’m a Gemini, but I happen to love variety. If I can have more than one version of the same thing, I’m happier than a kid with a plastic rocket and a can of Mountain Dew. For example, I may be a traditional tarot person (no need for extra cards, 78 is […] More
2023 has been a year…am I right? Although some things have been bopping along business as usual, a couple of intense eruptions in the family have forced me to adjust and readjust. Surprises? Yep. Things started to calm down about a week ago…but then the hits started coming again. This past week, I had to […] More
Many years ago, I took a quiz to figure out my “strengths.” The Strengths Finder (now called CliftonStrenghs) revealed mine were: Relator, Empathy, Positivity, Developer, Strategic. This information was supposed to help determine which roles would be best for me if I worked in a corporate setting. Of course, that’s not the path I chose (or […] More
My mother loved to regale us with the tale of how she met my father. They were on dates with other people (both duds, according to her) at a local tavern when they glanced at each other across the bar. She was struck by his steel-blue eyes (I inherited those), and he was instantly smitten […] More
Some situations are not obvious. For example: Some ill people don’t “look sick.”Some predators don’t emit a dangerous aura.Some beautiful berries are actually poisonous.Some heroes wear slouchy hipster beanies instead of capes. You can’t always tell if someone is a capable fighter, good drinker, friend, foe, liar, hot lover, or narcissist. Not everything is visible. […] More
I am creating the conditions for a perfect weekend. What does that look like? Glad you asked. Staying offline as much as possible. In fact, I’m taking a week-long sabbatical from social media. I have a few prescheduled things going out here and there…but my phone will be off. Long walks, weather permitting. I love […] More
