I was awoken about 8:00pm Tuesday night by a knock on the door.  I was going to ignore it, since who shows up without calling??  It was a friend I’d not seen for maybe a dozen years, who lives nearby.  He’s not a techie cell phone kinda person.  He had his small dog with him.  He was in town visiting family, told me he’d gotten in trouble with the law a few years earlier, did a few month’s time, got sober, and became a Baptist after half a lifetime of studying  paganism.  He wanted to talk about the switch in his beliefs and perceptions.  Having all my Aries planets in the 12th house, it is part of my path to be in contact with people who’ve been incarcerated and addicted. As a 22 year criminal defense paralegal, I recognize that sh*t happens.  If we’re wise, we grow up and do better.    Continue reading →

Yesterday was a day of house clearing in preparation for new moon and my solar return tomorrow.  I rearranged much of the furniture. I smudged the entire home.  The day before, I’d collected my crystals and stones, and rinsed them in sea salt and water.  Then I wrapped them in a scarf with sea salt and myrhh, put them in a medicine bag and buried them at the base of the oak I use as an outside altar.  Since they are the amplifiers in my home, I wanted a deep cleansing and a complete break with any old energy.  I have lots of them, large and small, so I had to dig a large hole.  I will dig them up after New Moon.  I can already feel my home filled with fresh energy, free flowing.  That could also be because it’s a beautiful, sunny, warm Spring day and I’ve got all windows and doors open to the outside.  I can hear the birds calling each other and the squirrels scampering on the roof and can see them chasing each other in the oak canopy overhead.  Life is good and the best is yet to be.

A Facebook post reminded to “Drink more water: your hair, your skin, your mind and your body will thank you.“   That’s true, especially about the skin.  At 61, I know!  Also, when I am under-hydrated, my spidey sense drops dramatically. I experimented with that in 2011-2012 since, as a psychic medium, my income depends on my intuitive accuracy. When I’m well hydrated, guidance flows and I’m able to jump into the stream more easily. This is an easy and practical tip for increasing your psychic awareness.  You’re welcome.

This is my parents’ wedding anniversary and the celebration date of my mother dropping her physical body.  I had a very fun time today hanging with spirit sister Jann Rossbach – she is a most delightful playpal. I showed her around the woods and the gardens, the firepit area, the winding staircase oak on the northeast corner of the property.  I showed her all the magical spots. I love sharing my space with someone who appreciates the little special vignettes in the house and on the land. She gets it!  Since my birthday is the same as New Moon this month (Wednesday April 10) she helped me clear and sanctify my personal space. It was truly a joy to bask in Jann’s holy light all afternoon!  When she left, I had new energy, so I rearranged the furniture.  In the sitting room, I took down all the wall hangings I use as area dividers and moved the daybed into the guest room.  I pushed the couch against the wall, which left everything wide open and spacious.  In retrospect, I realize the last 12 months I’d been putting myself into a smaller and smaller box with room dividers and curtains for privacy, since I was not used to sharing space and I don’t function well in captivity.  When I let myself feel bombarded, the quickest way to heal is in the quiet and the dark, alone: no one’s attention on me and no one expecting my attention on them. Complete, energetic disconnect with anything outside myself, until I can fill my Self up again. There’s breathing room in the living room again, with everything wide open now.   It’s good to learn what helps me expand and what makes me contract. My working hours have morphed as my sleep patterns are back on schedule, and I’m catching up with everyone I had to reschedule psychic sessions with.  If I’m not getting to you fast enough, email me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com.

I just watched a cute movie with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin “It’s Complicated.” Laughing at all the synchronicities with messages and subtext. Everything has a message for us, everything wants to delight us and bring us a-ha moments and joy.

You know what I love? The silence at the end of the day, when all I can hear is the windchimes in the courtyard, the rustle of the bamboo, and the squirrels scampering in the oaks. When I can smell the jasmine opening and see the bunny and armadillo grazing side by side. This soft, subtle nuanced world is full of Presence and it’s a world I thrive in.  Let others tilt at windmills and live in the noise and bustle.  For me, the choice is time alone in my own beautiful world with my own thoughts, with my own beloved Self.

We’re programmed to think we need a partner in order to be happy. All we need is to be involved in something that gives our life meaning. For some, that is a friend or lover; for some, the camaradie of fellowship.  For some, it is a sense of mission and purpose; others an artistic expression, hobby or interest.  I went many years without relationship and nine days before meeting my ex of 2012, I wrote I’m living happily ever after and did not need a Prince to get me there.  While 2012 was an interesting experiment in living the life of the householder, I learned that is not the most fulfilling life for me. What satisfies my soul is to be involved in meaningful projects with people who care about the same things as I do.

Ambulance Service Request: We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory. If we were in an accident or taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know which is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. All you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name ‘ICE’ ( In Case Of Emergency).  The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but they didn’t know which number to call. He thought it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored on your mobile phone as ‘ICE’. Please forward this. It won’t take too many ‘forwards’ before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etcPASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN EMERGENCY

I’ve had an awesome morning of evidentials, coincidence and synchronicity.  In a reading last week, a friend was concerned her son wouldn’t get good grades in a particular class.  I knew she was going to find the perfect tutor right away and that he’d be younger than her son.  She called today and told me she’d found him, he was younger, plus he has the same teacher – score!  She’d called in the middle of me speaking with spiritual brother Doug Cobb.  He and his wife Trish were next door neighbors and best friends of mine for years, they moved west of Gainesville in 2004.  They periodically come into town and it turns out they’ll be here again at the exact time I need Doug to look at a project with me – another score! I was in the flow.  So it was no surprise when I called galpal Joy to ask for a mutual friend’s number and if she knew her availability to help with another project.  She happened to be sitting in Jann’s living room and handed her the phone.  Jann was available and had all the knowledge I hoped she’d have! I’ve been in the flow all day and it feels good.  I know it feels good because I had little reminders of being out of the flow and gripey recently.  Good feels better!  In the flow feels better!
