Friday, March 20, 5:36 am EST we welcome in the New Moon, plus a Solar Eclipse, plus Spring Equinox. All of this equates to a Super Moon. 2015 has 4 eclipses and this one is the first of the year. Two weeks after, on April 4, 2015, a lunar eclipse will take place. With the moon being in the sign of PISCES, it can awaken your intuitive side. Dreams might be a bit more intense, with symbolism and messages that you... Read more
It was a couple weeks ago and we had received a good few inches of snow on top of the already several inches on the ground. I had to grab a couple things from the grocery store and ran out for just a minute. As I parked, I saw a lady tumble down in the median, a top a bunch of snow (where there would normally be grass or woodchips). And she just sat there. Concerned that she hurt herself,... Read more
Smudging with sage (I prefer white sage) is a simple and powerful way in which to remove negative energy from the area. Place a few leaves in a fire proof container or a albacore shell, and light the leaves or light the bundle. The flame should go out in a short time and the sage will begin to smolder. Fan the smoke with your hand or feather. Say a blessing of protection, or prayer, as you walk around. Fan the... Read more
The little girl was about three years old and was screaming in the middle of Target at her mother, who looked to be humiliated. Her face blushed, not from the cold, but from her daughter’s tantrum. “I can do it myself. I don’t need any help!” the small, but powerhouse girl screamed, whipping her brown hair around with attitude. The girl’s coat was on upside down and inside out and she was having a problem getting it off in order... Read more
Instead of attending a bustling Super Bowl party I sat on my couch next to the flickering fireplace that was making haunting shadows on my cheerfully painted yellow walls. Sipping a cup of hot tea, I watched the snow fall fast and furious and sighed in relief that my son’s job called him off, which meant there was nowhere to go. Since I had earlier made ribs, sloppy Joe’s and a potato casserole, I also had nothing pressing to do;... Read more
Today, January 30th, marks nine years since my mom crossed over. I still remember receiving that early morning phone call to get to the hospital. I had just pulled into the driveway of my then job. I ran up three flights of stairs to tell my supervisor that I was needed at the hospital, only to run down the three flights and back to my car. The drive to the hospital was mostly a blur. I remember speeding down Michigan... Read more
Feeling stuck? It’s time to shake off the shoes you are wearing that has the gum stuck to the bottom! Tuesday, January 20th at 7:59 AM EST we are graced with an New Moon visiting the sign of Aquarius. You might instead feel like sticking your head under a blanket, but this moon is about taking conscious action. It’s okay to hope and wish, but you have to also DO! The week before this particular New Moon many were concerned... Read more
Words have a strong effect on us. Words that people say to us, words that we say to ourselves – they all have an impact on our life, both positively and negatively. In fact Japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto, conducted an experiment on this same thing. Dr. Emoto poured pure water into vials labeled with negative phrases like “I hate you” or “fear” along with polluted water and added positive words like “love” and “peace” and froze them. After 24 hours,... Read more
Every year at this time we are inundated with “Be a New You for the New Year” messages on television and radio. When the calendar switches to the new year life doesn’t magically shift, only we can shift it. And it doesn’t have happen at the beginning of a new year either, every day is a new beginning that offers us new opportunities, if we so choose. I have a tradition where on NYE I look back over my new... Read more
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Grady laid her head on the tiled white bathroom floor. She couldn’t feel the hardness of the ground, or the coldness of the tiles, all she felt was her heart aching. No, not just aching, splintered and electrified. With each thought, each physical movement, and... Read more
