My tarot / I Ching readings offer insights into the present path and how to best navigate life from the highest self. My style comes with warm humor, considerate sensitivity, and a direction toward positive potentials.
Ever since my professional start in New Orleans many moons ago, I’ve loved doing public readings for events and have made it a staple of my offerings – ranging from birthday parties to setting up booths at the Renaissance Faire. My event readings can…

Announcement: I left this week for Panama to stay a few weeks with my friend Anna who I’ve known for 25 years. I will have some times opening during my trip (on East Coast time), and more will open up as I know my schedule better.
I’ll continue to send these emails each Friday. I’m curious to see what inspiration might happen with some much needed downtime.
Please note that you can still hire a fantastic tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers while I am away! I’m happy to make arrangements to bring quality entertainment at your winter party!
Over the weekend, I allowed myself deep rest after the high cortisol week.
My therapist pointed out that in order to rest we must also nourish. This is based in the Sensitivity Cycle by Hakomi therapist Ron Kurtz.
This theory states that we have 4 parts to a full experience:
Insight: Awareness that I want or need something
Response and Action: I do something about it
Satisfaction: I experience nourishment from fulfillment
Completion and Rest: I release seeking and relax
Each of us can have barriers to one of these fields that weakens the cycle. For me, that is in the area of allowing nourishment, which also blocks my ability to fully rest.
Today I ask, what is nourishing for you? How do you sense your own satisfaction with a task?
For me, feeling relaxed is more about shifting my energy positively rather than laying around.
This has been a hard week for me, and the only way to write this today is to share the cycles I swirl through and hope that someone out here will benefit from thinking about their own with compassion or humor.
In short, the privilege to poop at home is about to cost a large portion of my savings, and might require me to get a loan. (Please send good vibes that the latter is not required).
With all that is happening in the world, I can roll with the presumption that you are also mucking through the mire of poo management in your own ways.
The only way out is through. So let’s collectively consider our own natural cycles around stress response and offer ourselves compassion and forgiveness in our current state of being.
