You want to discuss something? An email is all it takes.
Anytime down the road you want to talk about something and put it to rest without a rehash, I’m game. Life’s too short not to. An email is all it takes. And to anyone who has any questions for me personally, between you and I, feel free to email me a list of your concerns and I will be happy to address them. I welcome input; it helps me consider course correction. Everyone is my teacher. In the interest of time and clarity, tell me specifically what you wish in your first email so we do not have to go back and forth unnecessarily. If I’ve said something you want clarity on, copy and paste it for me and ask your question. If you want a blog post revised, tell me what you want it to say instead. Write the first email to me as if it’s your only chance to say whatever you want to say, because it might be the only one I have time to read. Make it easy for me to address your concerns, by telling me in detail what they are. Thank you.
Tarot Card of the Day: Two of Wands Reversed
Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this. Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor. YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: The reversed 2 of Wands can indicate a pleasant surprise headed your way. Take the time to think positively, and be grateful for the gifts life is bringing you. Allow yourself to take joy and pleasure in the little things. Put emotion in perspective; sometimes what you feel is not the total reality of the situation. Sometimes you have to make a change and try new things in order to enjoy life. Weigh the balance carefully if you are considering taking a risk or making big changes in your life. Continue reading
When an individual has direct experience of the fact that he or she is one with others and indeed with the entire universe, a host of ills dissipate on their own without direct, conscious intervention of any sort.

I have just found the holy grail
Tarot Card of the Day: Four of Wands Reversed
Your Card for today. Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this. Not everyone attracted this message . YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: This is a very positive card to see in a reading in any context, revered or upright. There may be an upcoming celebration; in any event, joy is likely to be in the air. Unexpected good fortune could be headed your way when this card appears. Still, that doesn’t mean to throw away all your hard work and simply sit back. All good things are added to when we make efforts and make a point to share and give to others, in whatever way we can. Continue reading
Her effort to clear up the past gave her a clean slate
A friend asks me business advice. She can’t get ahead financially. Her credit is poor, she owes everybody. She chooses to not address it. She’s been working odd jobs, off the books. She lives looking over her shoulder. My suggestion was that everything is related and her financial woes in the now can be greatly alleviated by making peace with the past, including doing forgiveness work and taking steps to become legit with licensing, taxes and insurance. To contact the creditors and see what her options are. Financially, psychologically and emotionally: if the past is not resolved, then you can expect that when things are going very well, it can all be yanked out from under you. That’s why you get it all resolved when you’re down in the muck of it and have far less to lose. Continue reading
Too cool: I just realized a pal lives a block away
Cool synchronicity today! A pal lives around the corner yet I didn’t know it. For two years he’s done a daily walk around the block, right past the house. My place is wooded, so I can see someone is walking by but not who. He just never got around to stopping. I thought he was The Tilted Boy. The Tilted Boy walks by every day too, he’s tall and tilts way over to one side. I was taking the trash to the street this morning when my pal was walking by and we got to connect. Life is always ticking me pink.
This is how we learn and grow, from each other
To the ones who ask am I irked that someone is parroting my words in their teaching, I say of course not. It’s an honor to have been heard and the info passed on. That’s the reason we’re all thrown together, to learn from each other. To share information we find helpful. To help bring ourselves to wholeness so we can model to each other how many varied forms of wholeness there are. The fact that they remembered my words and found them useful enough to pass on just tickles my fancy.
When someone finds it difficult to face issues and admit when they are wrong
When someone finds it difficult to face issues and admit when they are wrong, it’s just because their mind has been trained to keep moving on to the next thought. They don’t take sufficient time to make inner contact and operate from a place of connection. Soon enough the weight of their denied and unfinished business will surface for attention. Until then, we don’t need to point it out to them. I love reading where someone who refuses to face their own stuff is telling everyone else to clear up theirs. If that touches a nerve in me, that means I have stuff of my own to clear up. Some have to talk about it long before they let their soul convince them to actually do it. It’s ALL progress. We can’t judge where they should be by now. I am exactly where I need to be right now and so is everyone else. What we CAN do is learn how to get our own emotional body under control.
