Touched I have roamed the halls of hope And sauntered under sunny skies. I’ve marveled at the hands of statues And drank from ancient fountains. I’ve tasted the sun captured inside dried fruit And stained my lips with homemade wine Before sweetly falling asleep in the dark. In quiet courtyards where nuns have prayed I’ve ruminated in silence. I feel that God is still listening, his ear pressed against a wall, For the voices of our souls are meek, But in this place of impossible volume Prayers and sighs and little voices Are made to sparkle like opals. Lives blessed with poetry such as mine, Who naturally dwindle in melancholy, And appear to be intimate with the divine Are purposed to bring wisdom to folly. Such is the kingdom of the illumined, Those the backhand of God has made sacred and doomed.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
Don’t bother pinching yourself, this isn’t a dream…but it sure is going to feel like it! This week Mercury went retrograde in head in the clouds Pisces on February 17 until March 10th and the Sun also moved into Pisces on February 18th. In addition to all this there’s a new moon in Pisces on the 23rd. Whenever Mercury goes retrograde, which is a few times a year, communication and day-to-day activities get a little wonky. Phones break, computers crash, you miss texts, just very irritating things. Since it’s happening in Pisces we can expect a lot of the mundane problems we have will be connected to plumbing, water, or flooding of some kind as well.

I’m in a wide-open field where it seems like the Sun is almost always shining. It’s warm here under the trees. There are people everywhere. They’re playing Frisbee, tossing footballs, and sunbathing. Some are having a picnic and drinking a bottle or two of wine with their friends. Every now and again the cool breeze brings my way the scent of a very popular herb, transporting me to the summer of love (a time period I regret missing out on, but I really had no choice in the matter.). There are readers and writers and athletes and children with their grandparents. I even saw a man walking his cat in here one day. Skyscrapers rise in the distance just in case you lose yourself; forgetting you’re in the greatest city in the world. As I write this, a group of friends nearby are drinking beer, playing games, and screaming at each other in fierce but friendly competition. I’m unbothered. There are at least 300 people in this meadow today, and there is more than enough room for everyone. Even the little birds seem to have carved out their own little space. As I sit here in Central Park, Sheep Meadow to be exact, I’m presented with a glimpse of a better world.
The Moonlight and the Black Sea
Imagine, if you will, you are driving to a beach house. As you arrive you drive up the narrow gravel road and see a marvelous house in the distance. It’s a perfect sunny July afternoon. As you approach you notice the house looks a little worn from the salty air and the merciless storms the sea is sure to bring, but through it all it’s still standing in magnificence. Youexit your car and a friend greets you warmly at the front door and you’re invited in.

Lately, I’ve been receiving a lot of messages from my spirit guides about where we’re headed as a country and as humans; I don’t think you need to be psychic to know that it’s not in the best direction…but there is hope. They often repeat that we are living in a time when there is no more room for false personas and the masks that people wear to disguise their true selves must be removed. This is a time for illumination and reckoning they say, no big deal right?
Who Said Nothing Good Comes Easily?
It is popular opinion that when things are going too well or come to easily that there must be something wrong. When something comes easily people start to wonder if they are underprepared, perhaps too ignorant and untalented to see their mistakes. It’s as if ease is the precursor to disaster. The whole concept is a crock! When the hell has anything ever been too easy?! If you’re putting in the work and opportunities are coming to you with little struggle then you’re doing it right! Even if you haven’t put in work and wonderful opportunities still present themselves, I’d bet a million dollars that’s something you’re supposed to be involved in. I’d like to share with you a little bit of my life’s journey, cheap divorce. Read More →
The Best Way To Deal With A Breakup
I believe in love. I’m referencing unconditional love, not the kind that fades with the passing of years or weathers as life meanders. I believe in it because I have felt such love throughout my entire life. Albeit my life is a mere 25 years, still, I’ve been blessed with love. Romantic love, familial love, and friendly love alike have been abundant in my past and present. I’ve had to fight for some of it just like everyone else. I’ve had to let go of a lot of it just as you, dear reader, have let go of love. I have had many of the expected ups and downs and yet after having all these shared human experiences I still disagree with most when it comes to the subject of breakups. Read More →
A Little Know Fact About Raising Your Vibration
I constantly find myself talking about the need for people to raise their vibration i.e. become more positive, uplifting, creative, and open. Changing your state of mind is always the first and most important step in the right direction. Our thoughts are our reality; positive thoughts will foster a positive reality. Connecting with the divine, going to church, prayer, and spiritual practice in general raise your vibration as well. Believe it or not, but certain foods and habits, such as smoking, will actually raise or lower your frequency. As if all this isn’t enough to worry about there is one more major factor: relationships.
Energy Cleansing 101
In my opinion, a home can never be too clean. I feel this way about the energy in a space as well. Being a Psychic Medium, I’m constantly cleansing the energy in my reading room, bedroom, living room, and pretty much every other room in which I feel “stale” or negative energy. I’m certain it drives my family insane! Here are a few easy ways you can keep the energy in your home just as clean as your freshly mopped floors! Read More →
The Language Of The Stars
The stars take my breath away. There’s a beauty and mystery in the night sky of which I have difficulty describing. It would suffice to say it speaks to my soul on a level that words couldn’t possibly reach. Perhaps that’s because I have always understood the language of the stars: Astrology. By definition, Astrology is the study of the movements of celestial bodies and it’s influence on our affairs and our world. Although that’s true, there’s so much more to it. For me, astrology is a symbolic language.
It all starts with your birth chart. Read More →
