Navigate to your best life

The Familiar is Strange
I have spent the last few days with my folks.
As always, my experience brings to mind a quote from Ram Dass:
“If you think you are enlightened, try spending a week with your family.”
It’s funny how hard it is to be your highest self around those closest to you, but my parents and I are all doing well enough this round.
It’s a unique challenge to be related to others.
Embrace Spiritual Growth in Dating and Relating
This week, Venus goes retrograde until September 3rd.
While this might throw off our usual desires, both creative and inter-relational, it also will give us fresh perspective on who and what we truly want now that is different from before.
I have been actively dating for about a year since my 10 year relationship ended at the very start of 2022. It’s like a strange part-time job.
My current approach is different than the norm, and is a good angle to take for this Venus retrograde.
What’s in Your Stars?
I have enjoyed astrology since I was a kid, and I want to gift you three awesome resources who help me be attentive to the bigger picture as I flow through my days. (No paid promotions here, just sharing my joy.)
The Magic of Masks and Creative Play
This week, I will be parading around in an outfit covered in eyeballs, surrounded by about 20 people in their own eyeball outfits.
I love getting into costumes and characters. This play has offered me enormous lessons about both humans and my Self (the Jungian big S version).
Optimal Times for Profound Readings
If you’re reading this, you likely enjoy a good tarot reading.
One of my friends this week asked me, “When do people usually get readings?”
That answer varies immensely.
Balance Your Elements of Life
With the Summer, I often find it challenging to keep my life in harmony.
Through the tarot lens, we can find answers to finding our own best inner equity by considering what elements we are giving our attention to.
Today, I want to offer you a short meditation on how to consider care-taking the other fields over the next few months.
When is it Intuition and Not Anxiety?
As an Intuition Coach who helps people harness their inner guide, I have to be a constant student.
This week, a bittersweet lesson reminded me of the additional benefits of this practice.
Schedule in Summer Stress Relief
Summer can feel stressful with all the abundant options for fun and work and gardening and house projects and and and . . .
I constantly have to remind myself to schedule in downtime and leave space between big efforts.
That’s why I am grateful to be grounding inward on Tuesdays with some quiet community scribble time.
Love Your Animal Self
In my early twenties, I decided that the duck was my ‘Spirit Beast’. I decided to call it that to be funny, since a duck is not so beastly.
It fit me. I had a quacky voice, a waddly walk, a love of travel, and my sense of humor fit the bill. (Get it . . . the bill? Haaa . . . yeah . . .)
At this point, I was working in the Film industry in New York City. Kindness was not common, and I had to shake off a lot of attitude and ego from colleagues and managers and diva clients.
A mantra came to me from my divine ducky guides.
“Water off a duck’s back, Quack Quack”
Whenever someone would lay their bad mood into me, I would recite this to myself and shake my bottom twice on the words ‘quack quack’, wicking off the wet of their unwanted energy.
It helped a surprising amount. I could keep my head high and my mood light when the NYC grumps were rampant.
Say No to Say Yes!
We all juggle so much. Even though I didn’t catch all the flying bowling pins this week, I am sitting with a feeling of being deeply satiated with the words, “Good Enough”.
Lately, I have been thinking about the gift of saying No to make room to say Yes.
Sometimes the No is to a fun outing, sometimes it’s to a request from a friend for more time than I can offer, sometimes it’s to cleaning the dishes before bedtime.
When we say No, we make room to say Yes to tending to our garden, spending more time with our family, or prioritizing our own need for proper rest.
This summer, I want to include writing in my Yes list. I am doing that by diving into co-leading a Summer Weekly Writing Group Online with my friend and writing coach, Dawn Montefusco.
This means I am saying Yes to something that I really care about.
