Happy Beltane!
It’s that time of the year when the veils are thin between the Otherworlds and ours. Expect strange synchronicities, sudden coincidences, or unusual happenings. Maybe breakthrough communications?

Just another day
It’s been a rough patch of life. Lots of ups and downs. At least the ups have been really good. Reconnecting with an old friend good. The kind of friend that might bring over bagels on a Sunday morning because she was in the neighborhood. Back when I used to eat bagels. And instead of…

More snooze please
After a horrible morning yesterday of trying to get out of the door with my son in a reasonable amount of time – not late for work – I chose to start today by giving myself more. I hit the snooze button and laid in bed for an extra ten minutes. I wish I could…
