Creating
When I take a deep breath and breathe the air that surrounds me, all that I am inhaling is lust for creation. I found myself learning what my biggest passion in life is. Sometimes people are young knowing what their passion is and they continue to work on it daily. Sometimes people are well into their adulthood when they find what they are truly passionate about. For me, I knew when I was younger I fell in love with art and creating. When I was younger, I would write screenplays, dance, write poetry, and all sorts of that realm. I just did not pursue art when I become a teen because I felt like it was a joke. I felt that since I was not good at it, I should not be doing it. That was my biggest mistake. I think the most important thing in doing anything you are passionate about whether you are good or not is doing it so consistently that you will undoubtedly become somewhat decent at it.

Life Choices
Every day we get a choice. Big or small, it really does not matter. Sometimes the choices are what you’re going to eat today, or should you have that dessert when you’re on a diet. Other choices could be going to work or getting out of bed when you are depressed. It could be choosing what lipstick you’re going to put on or what you’re going to wear for a special event. The point is, we all have a choice, no matter what.

How to Achieve Spiritual Wellness Through Tarot
What is a tarot reading all about? What can you expect from a reading? I hear all the time how people are afraid of getting a reading, or afraid of what they will learn. There is nothing to be afraid in a tarot reading as long as you are in active participation in your own life and willing to identify what is either helping you or holding you back from achieving your goals. I am an intuitive empath and this allows me to see deeper into a seeker and identify past and present influences and better address any hidden aspects of the situation in need of clarification. I will share with you my experiences as a tarot practitioner and offer answers to the questions I hear most often. I will also share some methods I incorporate to help my clients achieve spiritual wellness. As an intuitive empath, I use intuition to pinpoint the source cause of an aspect and empathy to identify the true feelings of everyone involved. The combination of these abilities allows me to offer better guidance and solutions to the problems my clients may be facing. Clairaudience and channeling between myself and the inner spirit of my seeker allows me to communicate on a spiritual level and helps me to identify sources of trauma that my client may not even remember as it generally comes from early childhood. Many tarot practitioners possess this same set of gifts and others and use them to better assist a seeker. My primary focus when conducting a reading is to aid my client in the achievement of goals, spiritual growth and attaining inner peace.

Who Are You?
There is nothing like reaching your 30's and questioning the last 10 years of your life. Now you are like some obsessed accountant trying to find the receipts to verify your past relationships, your mistakes, your fights, your accomplishments, your failures, and where did all that freaking money go!!!! After pondering over this for days you realize there is no answer you were simply living life in your messy, disorderly fashion. But you woke up this morning and you looked in the mirror in your home and then it comes to you hey!!! I didn't do too bad I have a place to live. If you are reading this and you were one of those Dudley-do-right individuals that went straight from high school to college, traveled the world, met your significant over a candle lit dinner, and had your kids when you got married, then I want to congratulate you.

Things 2017 Taught Me
The world is a shitty, cruel place comprised of a multitude of shitty, cruel people. That much is certain. But what we so often forget is that we have the power to change that. We have the power to refuse to let the pain and suffering harden us and turn our hearts cold. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. And here is what that means:

Why the F*^% Am I Here?
The age old question, “Why am I here?” Its variations: “What am I meant to do with my life?” “What’s my purpose?” “Where will I end up?” As human beings, we ask ourselves this countless times throughout our lives. We change jobs, leave relationships, move across the country, or even the globe, searching for the answer to this question. There’s a deep yearning within all of us, whether we completely realize it or not, to live a life of purpose. To feel as though we’re making some kind of difference. To make an impact in some way, somehow during our existence. This can be a guiding light for those who pay attention to it, leading the way to one’s passion and bringing a deeper, more fulfilling sense of happiness to life. So, how do we get there? How do we find our calling?

Self Care Comes First
We are all busy in some ways, and it is hard to carve out well needed time for ourselves, I know. But to maintain a healthy mind, soul, and body we all have to self pamper sometimes!

The Chameleon
My story: the CliffNotes version. My parents were divorced before I was born. Each parent remarried. Between the two of them I went through four step-parents. I was moved across the country and back before I reached high school. I grew up with the strong notion that everything and everyone was temporary and replaceable. I never liked to grow strong attachments to anything or anyone.

Homeward Bound
I am up late. Again. But tonight, it's different. It's an unusually warm night. There's a breeze; not enough to be disturbing, but enough to make the leaves on the trees rustle, and to make the stars look especially bright. I feel good tonight. I have not had a drop to drink, and I ate a normal meal.

The Rarity of Snow
Tuesday morning I awoke to a blanket of snow. This was something very unexpected. Here in the UK when snow falls, it does not promise to stick. In the region I live in, the snow seemed to keep missing us over the last few months. So, when I saw that it was to snow, I ignored it. I went about my morning keeping the blinds down, ignoring the world outside. That was until I glanced out the bathroom window and saw the hazy gleam of white. I rushed to the spare room window and gazed intently out at the white expanse before me. The snow was here and it was falling thick and fast.
