The Tin Can Telephone

My Dad passed peacefully into Spirit last week. There is still much to process before I am ready to open the doors for readings again. May you all have a beautiful summer.

Hello! I haven't been connecting here much lately. My sweet Dad has needed extra support from me and our family because his illness has worsened and he is preparing to leave this world. To everyone whose readings I have had to postpone, thank you for your patience. I look forward to working with you all when the time is right.

Thank you to everyone who has booked or been to a reading so far this year! It is a joy to be able to bring through messages of love and support for you from friends and family who are living their best afterlife. I am opening bookings for May at this time. Please message me if you would like more information or would like to book a 1 hour mediumship/card reading in person or over Zoom.

At last (and all of a sudden) Spring Equinox is here! Light and darkness are in balance and the energies of nature are flowing once more. Feel your feet on the Earth and take a few slow deep breaths to replenish your song.

Spring energy is beginning to build beneath the winter chill; nature's colours are returning to daily life. I have space available in March. Please message me if you are interested in having a 1-hour mediumship/card reading either in-person or over Zoom.

Good morning! I felt like doing a mini-reading for the collective, so here it is for anyone who needs to see it. If it doesn't feel right, that just means that this one is not for you.

This is a time of growth. You don't yet see your path forward because you are learning to rely more on your instincts as you make your way in the world. What inner resources are you drawing on as you move in the moonlight? It is important to acknowledge and give voice to your abilities, however humble you feel them to be. As you give them your kind attention, they will start to sing with more grace than you ever imagined they contained.

My February appointments will start mid-month as I have a lot of pruning to accomplish in the garden. These eagles were not in my yard (I took this photo at the estuary a few years ago) but the tree looks nearly as wild as some of mine do at the moment. Please message me if you are interested in booking a one-hour mediumship/tarot reading either in-person or over Zoom.

One step at a time, lovely friends. Take time to breathe and find your feet.

The fresh year invites us to look at the big picture and start setting goals, intentions, or resolutions. We all have different ways of doing this. Some love lists; some love vision boards; some have inspiring conversations with the people close to them. Your method doesn't affect the results nearly as much as your approach.
Gently, gently. Take time to play with your possibilities. Build them like sandcastles and see which layout pleases you most. With the natural exploration of a child, push a few ideas over to see if you miss them then build them up again if you do. Which ones are still standing after the tide comes in? What steps can you take to strengthen their structure?

Happy Winter Solstice here and Happy Summer Solstice to those in the Southern Hemisphere!

Hello, everyone! Bookings are now open for when readings start up again in mid-January. Please send me a message if you would like to have a one hour mediumship/card reading and I will get back to you. Gift certificates are not available at this time. Wishing you all holiday celebrations full of joy and peace.

Bookings are now closed, so please check back in December to see when I will be available again. Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to connect them with their loved ones in Spirit. I am curious to see what happens with my gifts after I reconnect with loved ones overseas for the first time in 6 years. Many blessings to you all.

I have a limited amount of bookings available in September before I fly away for two months. Send me a message if you've been considering having a one hour mediumship/card reading soon. My response time might be a little slow at the beginning of the month, but I will get back to you. Bookings will resume in December when I recover from the flight. Thank you to everyone who has shown me support in any way over this past year.

You may have been able to tell from all the photos I take that I love nature. Animals carry wisdom and can connect us instantly to the deeper world that flows parallel to our human timetables and social pressures. I saw this heron last week and tuned in to see if it had any messages to share on this page. Take whatever resonates for you and leave the rest. If herons have another special meaning for you and this post pops up in an uplifting and timely manner, then that also applies. Here is what I received: 1) Look deeply and kindly. Whatever you are seeking, see yourself in it. The heron eye equals the fish eye. Both reflect the same light. 2) Focus as if you are bringing your eyes directly in front of your quarry. There is no rush. Know that whether you are standing still and holding focus or moving incrementally with clear purpose, things will line up to nourish you. 3) Claim your space in the world. Use your voice to express your energy from the place of your connection with all life. 4) Flying takes steady effort and a sense of your own rhythm. Reward yourself regularly with moments of gliding. Experience the rest and bliss by recognizing and feeling how far you have come, even as you are becoming more.

Time to stretch your capacity for joy. Notice something beautiful in Nature and just watch it for a little while. Get curious. What are you seeing? Do the shapes and colours affect you? Involve as many senses as you can in your observation without disturbing anything you are focused on. You can imagine the texture of a bumble bee without ever touching it. What if you could hear their footsteps on the flower petals? How is life expressing itself around you today?

August bookings are now open. At the end of September I will be going away for a couple of months, so send me a message if you would like to get more details about having a one hour mediumship/card reading or animal communication session soon.

Way back before I got into anything metaphysical, a psychologist led me through a guided meditation and gave me the recording to help me sleep. Her guidance included the line, "You know far more than you know that you know."
As a 19 year-old struggling with the mental chaos of PTSD, I found it strangely soothing. My overworked brain could turn any words into fears, but that line spoke to a deeper place in me that I hadn't yet recognized. Most people in my family dealt with things intellectually, but that approach had me running in circles to the point of collapse.
You don't have to know everything with your brain. Your body knows things. Your spirit knows things. Your emotions reveal things. When these aspects of yourself are aligned, life flows beautifully even if you are facing challenges. Your logical mind can balance your intuitive reactions but not if it's trying to dominate them. Surrender into your deeper knowing and allow the great mystery of life to unfold. You know far more than you know that you know.

When your life is flowing well and you are grounded in your experience of reality, signs are a delightful and welcome confirmation that you are on your path and that you are loved. They will have nuances of meaning depending on how and when they show up. There is a certain quality to a true sign. Your attention will be caught strongly for a moment. A sound or colour might be amplified, or it will seem like a light is shining on an image. Sometimes it is just the hilarious timing of thinking about a specific question and right then a bus drives by with a fitting answer written on one of its advertisements. Animals can be signs just by showing up in an odd way that perhaps brings us the memory of a loved one who has passed. By noticing and appreciating the signs, you are building your own personal language between you and Spirit.
Some people experience anxiety regarding signs. We have all heard about "bad signs" at one time or another. Spirit can definitely use signs to suggest we change direction. That is very helpful at times, but we are not meant to dwell in fear or superstition and it is always our choice how we live our own life. The best signs confirm the truth we already feel inside. Whether or not we follow guidance, we will handle whatever comes our way and we will have help to get through.
A true sign will always empower us. Like any new language, it takes a while to become fluent, so play with watching for signs when things are going well in your life and you are less likely to get caught up in worrying about them. We have many opportunities to receive, so if you don't see or recognize a sign at first, it will come back to you. If it shows up too much for your liking, take a few moments to explore what it is trying to tell you and then, whether or not you figure it out, ask Spirit to back off on that sign. You are in charge of what you put your attention on. If a supposed sign persists in a way that does not feel good, then you can set the intention to clear it from your personal symbolic lexicon for as long as necessary.

Bookings are now open for July. As well as one hour combination mediumship/card readings, I will be offering animal communication sessions. If you and your pet are facing any struggles together, here is an alternative to speaking slower and louder. No need to pack your little buddy into a carrier. I will tune in ahead of time and tell you the results during your appointment. You can show me a photo of them afterwards. Thank you to all the friends who have had me chat with their pets while I was figuring out how to offer this service to the public. Send me a message for more information or to set up an appointment time.

Nature is full of patterns that soothe our busy brains. Pause for a moment to breathe in the beauty around you. You might just realign your heart and mind and shift the entire trajectory of your day. Have fun finding the patterns that sing to you!

Just picked up the new table. It's so new that I will have to keep it covered until the finish settles in, but here's a peek under the tablecloth. My Dad's friend built the frame and then my Dad assembled, laminated, and finished the top. I'm very grateful to have such a lovingly crafted collaborative art piece to support my card readings.
