I am going to be conducting an extended experiment. I’m stepping away from social media as a means of marketing and in doing so, will also step away personally.

Accounts will not be cancelled in case I alter the experiment. However, I will be very absent.

Should you wish to know the impact on me and my business, I’ll be happy to share. Though it may be through my website and/or podcast/video means.

See you on the other side of the experiment.

You can always find me at the link in my bio ❤️

Back and found the memorial for my late first husband. I’ve written about and talked about him before. But this is the first time I’ve seen the memorial. ❤️

Quick check in to understand what I’m looking for most in this trip. The spread is specific - the jist of the read is I’m over intellectualizing the experience. But mindfulness of trauma is important. Tapping into the feels and trusting my sense of what’s right will bring out the voice I’ve been missing. So, you know, something nice and easy.

It’s National Pasta day! Here’s a few recent pics from when I made gnocchi for the 1st time. They were delicious. (I got the recipe from ) And my husband loved them. Even better, as someone who doesn’t love anything about Americanized Italian food, these were DELICIOUS. Especially with Eva’s sauce. “It should tase of tomato!” ❤️ Are you cooking a special dish for national pasta day?

What’s in it for you to get a tarot reading? Answers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the best part. YOU have the answers. I get to create a brave space and pull out the possibilities and/or confirmations that inspire your connection to your answers. And once those are clear, then you move beyond confusion and can take action.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The work that I do is about reconnecting you to your value and worth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So that moment you decide to get a tarot reading? You’re saying:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*I am ready for accountability
*My perspective is valuable
*My actions make a difference
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re a damn SUPERHERO ❤️

Relationship often assumes one-on-one, but the q***r community has ties that bind. Our relationships are forged from chosen family and belonging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

HAPPY NAT’L COMING OUT DAY!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today happens to be Indigenous People’s Day and National Coming Out Day. So if your activist hat isn’t already on - today’s the day to put it on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seek joy in culture. Discover joy in identity. And revel in the possibility of being on the other side of oppression (whether it’s from someone else or your own).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
can be full of pressure for many who aren’t ready to come out. Be a brave, safe, welcoming space. That doesn’t mean inviting someone to come out. It does mean using welcoming and inclusive language so that anyone who is thinking about coming out can recognize you and the space you hold as safe. All year long.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Am I spiritual? Maybe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t refer to myself as spiritual person. Spiritualists are often associated to “new age” types of things or even Spiritualism. You might assume that I’m connected to some greater being or energy source or that I might say some guru s**t.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every once and a while I may have a great turn of phrase that you could slap on a t-shirt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here’s the truth:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The connection I have is with you. You are the source. You are the greater being. I am just your reflection.

come by for a visit!

I have wonderful memories of - and I have an unpublished podcast that will be shared in the future.

I’m so very sad - and that reminds me how very special you were to me. ❤️

Is Tarot spiritual? Maybe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear a lot of people refer to my work with tarot as a spiritual practice. And you might assume that it is. So every once and a while I like to set the record straight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t practice the art of tarot reading as a spiritual experience. There are many ways into the tarot. But for me, reading cards isn’t spiritual.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is spiritual adjacent through ritual for me is: the preparation before reading; feeling the connection between us grow as I shuffle and settle as I lay out the cards; the breath I take before speaking; and when I close out a reading space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But my work with tarot? That’s human connection. That’s research. That’s education. That’s trial and error. That’s psychic. That’s art. That’s soul work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If that’s spiritual to you - GREAT. 😁 We may just have different names for the same thing.

We’re, my husband and I, going through the process of illness and death, loss and grief, and the cycle of release.

We’re both going through personal growth and transition. And so are the lives in our immediate circles.

Q***r or not, bully or not, political parties aside, death comes for us all. And it comes in many ways.

The loss of a good knee, the feeling in our limbs, our eyesight and our hearing, our breath, and our brain. Ultimately it will claim our life and we’ll begin anew.

While those we leave behind go through the process.

When you look for validation outside of yourself, you’re setting yourself up for failure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Work towards personal healing. And then you’ll be the prince that another prince is looking for.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Disney, Broadway, and TV have failed you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the princes lost their way in act two of Into the Woods I felt vindicated. They were finally knocked off their pedestals and seen for who they really were.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a tarot reader, when the active cards (often seen as knights or sons) appear in a tarot reading I’m on alert for Disney prince syndrome. You’re either looking for validation outside of yourself or putting the other guy on a pedestal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
