Over the past couple of days I’ve watched Leo‘s (actualized.org) 3-part video series about ‘self-deception‘, and very much wish I had the time and patience to review and write each down for future reference. As I watched it, I frequently found myself recalling the years of frustration or despair I’ve suffered because I’ve allowed myself […]

rocking the grey
Last year, I turned 50 and, like many a so-called ‘milestone’, it wasn’t as traumatic as expected. In fact, I had a great year! I got to snorkel in the Dominican Republic, take my grandkids to the beach, and party poolside like a rock star with my friends. By the end of the summer, though, […]

I was hanging with the girls, Tuesday, and got asked to read Tarot. One lent me her deck, and another volunteered to ‘go first’. Not having read in… what… months…(?), and not being familiar with the deck, I asked her to focus on a question to which she already knew the answer, so we could […]

Went for my 1st ‘professional’ reading in more than a decade last night. One of the 1st things the chick said about me was that I have strong psychic abilities and spirit help around me, and that I could do what she was doing (ie read cards). Then, she asked if I could, and I […]

A dear one and I were cooking a meal together when he interrupted me to say something so self-centered and dismissive that I froze. ‘You know, buddy,’ I told him, ‘you’d save us both a whack of stress if you’d just leash that ego of yours’. ‘How d’you know its not your ego causing the […]

So, a chick’s shooting stick near the bar when she over hears two guys sharing relationship advice. Just as she’s expecting a ‘Hallmark moment’, though, the first guy gets frustrated. ‘I know…!’ He raises one hand, palm outward. ‘My mouth’s what causes most of my problems.’ ‘No shit!’ the other agrees. ‘Like… you don’t just […]

I was doing yoga. I’d lain myself out in the ‘corpse’ position, added a mudra to it for the first time, and waited to see ‘if’ or ‘how’ it might affect things. Moments later, I felt the familiar tingle of energy flowing through me and rolled my closed eyes ‘downward’ as though to […]

Yes, cooking in a single man’s kitchen can be a challenge, but even the most pathetic veggies in a bin can make a meal. This one started with a small bag of frozen shrimp and a handfull or two of rice… coconut rice + shrimp with steamed carrots and sallad After picking through the fridge […]
