Tarot on a Whim
I’ve always got several ideas popping around in my mind for my website, business, and podcast. My problem is that my day job takes a lot out of me sometimes, as well as raising a child to be happy and healthy, and sometimes I have no energy to work on the things I want to…

Spring has Sprung
I don’t know what it is about this seasonal transition, but it has always been one of my favorites. I love walking outside in the morning and seeing the sky turn shades of orange and pink. The smell of new-blooming flowers. The scent of crisp morning dew on the grass.

Tarot: Top 5 Things to Know
If you’ve grown up with any amount of pop-culture in your life, you’re probably familiar with the image of the woman dressed to the nines, headscarf and all, sitting behind a little wooden table with her crystal ball and tarot cards.

Balancing Act: Making Time when Life gets Chaotic
It’s part of modern life, running out of time. Sometimes it seems like we have a million things to do every single day and never enough time to do it. I’ll use myself as an example. I work a “typical” job with a schedule from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. I get two 15 minute breaks…
