New Moon in January

So, this is the first New Moon of our Snake year.  The months cycle through moving inward, from Full Moon to New Moon, and cycling outward from New Moon to Full Moon.  We’ve been introspective since the Holidays and that makes sense. …Details

Talk It Out

I enjoy working with clients (and friends and family for that matter) on the issues that are really troubling them.  Not that I have a magic wand that can fix things or that I’m some all powerful being that has all the answers. …Details

When Is Later Now?

I bumped into some friends of mine at the pub the other day and had an unexpected and delightful conversation with them for a couple of hours.  We just sat and got caught up with each other, but the fun part is that this past year has been amazing for all of us in that we’ve radically changed our lives. …Details

Just Say No to Perfectionism

We don’t usually judge our friends or acquaintances or peers because they need help with something or don’t know something or aren’t perfect at doing something.  At least not the first hundred times.  🙂  After 100 we tend to get judgmental but I think it might be warranted in some cases. …Details

I’ve been thinking about mirrors.  Mirrors as metaphor, people as mirrors, mirrors as the enemy of all women, mirrors as an indicator that our vision is incredibly skewed, etc, etc.  I use the concept of mirrors in working with my clients that are overly sensitive to the perspectives, opinions, and actions of others. …Details

2013 – Organic Change

2013 – the year of the water snake – can also be translated into Tarot terms as the Death card.  This is not a literal death, although it can be for those who are ready to make the final transition from this life back into spirit. …Details

2013 – Year of the Water Snake

Congratulations on surviving the Mayan Apocalypse and arriving in 2013!  You have an entire new year ahead of you.  Yay!  So here’s some things to know about this year so you can plan ahead. Last year’s work with Dragon has shaken things up, spit you out into new places, broken you out of old patterns and left you wondering what happened. …Details

No such thing as a line in the sand

So tonight a huge number of people around the globe will celebrate the ending of 2012 and the beginning of 2013.  The date and time are arbitrary and do not sync with anything in nature or with our biorhythms, but what the heck. …Details
