The Power of Persistence

This week, I absorbed a fantastic 5-hour documentary about one of my favorite directors, called Mr. Scorsese, made by Rebecca Miller.

Whether you enjoy his films or not, you likely know his name. (Fair warning: these movies are often violent and not for everyone). 

I have seen 17 of his films and enjoyed all but one (Skip The Irishman). My favorites are Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Departed, Shutter Island, Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon.

What feels relevant to share is how struck I was by the trajectory of his career. With so much success over five decades, I presumed he could rely consistently on being a wanted talent. 

Nope. It was constant up’s and down’s…

Free Tarot Reading for 2026

Since it’s the start of the year, our reading today offers more cards than usual, so I will keep this portion brief.

AI Ad vs. Reality: What’s in the Box?

For your entertainment, I have made an unboxing video of the thing I warned you not to buy. 

Three months ago, I shared about this item that I knew was advertised with AI images and suspected was fake.

When I found it for cheap, curiosity got the best of me. I had to know, ‘What’s in the booooox??”

Gift a Life Well Lived

During the pandemic, I took the unexpected free time to purge my closets of stuff. It took many days. 

When I returned to shopping in thrift stores, which I love to do, I realized that each item, however affordable, had an added cost of time. 

I would need to find a place for this thing in my home and then tend to dusting it, or replacing it’s batteries, or fixing it if it broke or getting rid it when I was done with it’s use. 

I bought less… for a spell. I admit I still love stuff and definitely bought physical presents for people this year. But there’s something magical about gifts of experiences.

Holiday Conflict Resolution

Ram Dass says, “If you think you are enlightened, go spend a week with your family.”

The holidays are coming up, and I know for many of us it’s a good time to consider how we hold ourselves through interpersonal strife. 

I took a lovely class with small business advisor Jaime Pulliam on conflict resolution this week, and I want to share some of the insights with you.

Free Tarot Reading for Dec 2025

Welcome to December! 2025 is soon to be complete. 

As always at the start of the month, I offer a free Tarot reading to help you set your compass for the month. 

This month is about being bold in your decisions, a theme I often recite in these newsletters.

If you find value in the questions and directions of these Friday gifts, I hope you will share them with a friend who might enjoy them as well.

Your Story has Influence

As a tarot reader, I have witnessed the magic of people unraveling their own stories to rewrite them. 

This is a powerful medicinal practice, and often is a long journey that requires patience and humility and persistence. 

This week, let’s gently take a first step. Our awareness of this aspect of life will help us find more peace as our family stories collide in the US over the Thanksgiving holiday next week.

The vast majority of humans both function and dysfunction from a place of story.

Investments Beyond Dollars

I spent this last week visiting old friends in my home town of San Diego, CA. I am lucky to have grown up in a lovely warm place, but the trip was less about sun and more about chosen family. 

Each person I visited has known me for decades. My oldest friend and I shared a 40 year anniversary this week. 

Some of my community only recently started their own families, while others are at a point that their kids are moving into college and careers and adulthood. 

There were multiple heart-opening family events this week.

Make a Meaningful November

There’s something about the hullabaloo of summer followed by the resettling of September running right into the Halloween costumes of October (which is a busy month for tarot readers) that just makes me grateful to arrive at November.

I feel like November is a time to catch my breath before the swirl of hectic December holidays.

In the same way that we make intentions for a new year, let’s make some intentions for this month ahead.

Free Tarot Reading for Samhain / Halloween

Samhain (pronounced Sau-wen) is a high holiday that honors our ancestors. 

My costume troupe will share a silent dinner on Sunday. We will bring photos of our dead beloveds and make an altar. 

Once seated with food, we will send a plate around the table where each person will add to the meal for our ancestors. . .
