There is the consistency of being the same, which does not serve. But there is a consistency of listening to the moment, following your heart, and communicating truth with kindness and integrity. This kind of consistency is extremely important. Although it doesn’t LOOK like consistency to the outer world because it is not SAMENESS.
Sameness can be control and very, very boring. People may think they want it, but it rarely serves in the end. It becomes boring, unfresh, untrue.
All masters are unpredictable because they follow the consistency of the heart and serving the moment. This is ever fresh and yet still infinitely trustworthy.
The Universe has been showing me for a while that I am not simply an astrologer. I am someone who brings my attention and presence to whatever is of importance to the person in front of me. And from there, I share whatever tool feels most relevant. Sometimes I am drawn to listen. Sometimes I get intuitive information or stories to share. Sometimes I am drawn to check their astrological chart for meaningful information. Sometimes it’s energy work or cards.
It seems when I try to just straight up interpret the chart from one bit to the next (even when people think they want that), a session just doesn’t have the meaning and heart that I have come to love in my sessions. It’s too much in the head. It doesn’t feel connected to the heart of the person in front of me.
Now, sometimes I have tried to just eschew astrology and act like I’m not going to use it. And then I often find it ends up being the perfect tool.
Life is so funny.
I have even thought… maybe I won’t do sessions anymore. Maybe something else is in my highest excitement. And my guides said… “Ummmm… no.” hahahahaha. Ok.
But the truth is that I need to do them from my highest excitement, which comes from meeting the soul in front of me in the NOW. It’s not about telling the future, although sometimes that happens. It’s not about preparation or ME having all the answers, although sometimes that happens. It’s about presence NOW to what matters NOW because that is all we have.

I may be almost ready to do practical things again. I have been bored with practicality and shunning it because I couldn’t even. I haven’t even been posting here. I’m coming to terms with the possibility that my flow may not fit into any sort of “business model”.
I am often stuck between… am I mystic or an entrepreneur? I suppose I could be both. But the mystic doesn’t really feel drawn to “work”, if ya know what I mean. The human does feel drawn to being able to pay bills, even if not really interested in the actual system behind them. Hrmph. It does feel good to use my skills to be of service to other humans. I enjoy that.
I’m letting myself feel vulnerable here and just write from the heart, as I sometimes do on Facebook, but not usually here. It feels like perhaps there is something of value to this type of entry. We shall see. Shout outs to Inok Alrutz and Shanti Zimmerman for inspiring me more in this direction
I’m starting to feel better physically after a bout with Candida. I took an interesting route to healing. I only did what made me happy, whether it was a “cure” (like a sauna or essential oils) or just lying about watching videos or going out to eat instead of cooking.
I haven’t been following the candida diet, as I have always been urged to do religiously. But it felt like another prison. It felt overwhelming, which is part of what brings candida on. I read an entire book in the past few days, which is massive for me. Gabor Mate’s When the Body Says No. It’s all about how our repressed emotions cause our illnesses. So, I decided not to repress. Just let myself be. Exactly as I am. Breathing into that liberation.
I did slow way down on coffee and wine. But I didn’t completely stop because I don’t want to. I already knew coffee was the main “bad guy” for my system, and a friend’s muscle testing confirmed this. And my life seems to confirm this yet again. Oh coffee… I’m in love with the bad guy. Hahaha.
I’ve been super lethargic and just wanting to rest a lot. So, that’s what I’ve been doing. Maybe today some practical things will be done today. Time will tell. I’m doing this. Is it practical? I don’t know. I’m just doing it. Letting highest excitement and inspired action rule. I am learning more and more to trust that if I am not ready to do something, it will get done in it’s own time.
“Nature never hurries, yet all is accomplished.” -Lao Tzu
I love how when surrendering to inspired action, I am suddenly just doing something and it is often done before I even think about it. My body almost moves on its own accord. Ease and grace. And so it is. Bless.
Please share in the comments what your experiences are with inspired action. This is something I’m super passionate about and always experimenting with. I’d love to hear how it goes for you!
This post is my version of hanging my artwork on the refrigerator. Look! I made this! I might hang it on the refrigerator, too.
More than that, I wanted to share my process with you today. It felt very magical and very like LIFE, in general.
It is my rational mind’s understanding and desire to do some physical exercises shortly after waking. This “makes sense”. I can “get it out of the way”. It’s more likely to get done and frees up the rest of my day. I like doing daily exercise. I like the way it feels. I like what it does for my body.
But I am also dedicated to following my highest excitement in each moment. And this morning, my coloring books were really calling me. So, I decided to go for it. It had been a while. It somehow felt important. Well, after breakfast. Breakfast felt the most important.
I have three coloring books right now. I picked up the first one, somehow knowing the right mandala to color was not in that book. I looked through it anyway. I was right. I knew the right picture would somehow just grab me. I was almost through the second book when I began to wonder when I would be grabbed. And then… Bam! It seemed to almost move on the page. That’s the one. Inspiration. Inspiration feels so good.
I opened my crayons and this lovely purple color immediately called to me. Ok, that’s the basis for this picture. And I picked out 2 more crayons, thinking I would use that palette. The third was a delicious mauve that I just fell in love with as soon as it came to me.
For me, coloring is a process of listening and uncovering. What is this calling for? What does this want to be? It’s not so much me imposing my will as listening to the will of the creation. This is a practice I use in most things, most recently with the entire revamp of my home. It’s amazing to be able to apply these same concepts in all areas of life.
That pink just wanted to BE! It felt so soft and gentle and feminine. I wanted to add the purple and the blue, but it just suddenly felt really wrong. I had to listen to that. The little flowers in the center wanted to be green, like the heart of it all. And the silver wanted to be there in the movement that seemed so prevalent. And because there was obviously magic afoot. So, some sparkle felt in order.
I was still tempted to use the purple or the blue for balance. To add something that felt more masculine. To create a container. But my intuition and/or the picture just wanted that pink. And it created the container with the pink. And it gave me the words, “The Power of Gentleness.” The purple was just there to lead me to the pink. That’s often the case in life, too. Good to be unattached to outcome.
While I was coloring, I also came upon Lee Harris’ recent video on The Magic of the Slow Lane. It was so lovely to listen to Lee while I colored. I love his insights and they were full of confirmation of what I had been receiving in so many ways since the beginning of this Mercury Retro.
There is power in gentleness, listening, going slow, allowing.
There is power in allowing process to unfold step by step. My rational mind wanted to plan out the whole picture ahead of time. Sometimes I’m like that. But I kept getting the message that I needed to just do the next thing that was obvious and it would all be more clear as I went.
That has been life in a nutshell lately:
Just do the next that is obvious, and it will all be more clear as you go.
That idea can also be stated as following your highest excitement. Such a whole new way to be. Many of us are being indoctrinated. It can be scary when we want the safety net of knowing. But creation doesn’t always know. I did not even know I was going to be writing all this. But it was revealed step by step. When we trust the process, we can enjoy it more and more.
We are all creators. We are all artists of our own lives. What if we all rightfully saw ourselves that way? What if we took steps to create the beauty we love in each moment in all ways? Wow.
What if we took steps to create the beauty we love in each moment in all ways?
I am blessed with magical, creative, beautiful friends. One such friend is my dear Greta Jane (pictured above). One of Greta’s many talents is the facilitation of Wish Spells, a tender exchange and ritual of co-creation.
Official Wish Spells begin with a guided meditation, helping us connect with the infinite possibilities of this moment and the poetic voice of your heart. Once your heart is speaking I will help you to clarify your intention, refining until we find a powerful, resonant phrase; your dearest heart’s wish. You will write this wish on an Official Wish certificate. I will then choose ingredients from a medicinal bouquet of flowers and other accoutrements, that I believe are in alignment with your wish. Activating your senses, you will interact with these ingredients as I explain their particular properties and intentions. These pieces are held in a vessel of receptive well water, intensifying all. When your spell is complete I will suggest some ways you may continue to integrate this intention with your will and actions. May All Our Dreams Come True
Greta reflected in her Wish Spell table at Psychic Sister
I have worked on wish spells with Greta over the past year a total of three times. The first time I went because I simply love her, and I was curious to experience the process. The second time I went (and brought my son Zane) because we have a big wish. The third time ended up showing me that all three sessions were linked, related to one big wish I have been manifesting. Amazing work, Universe.
After we went through the guided meditation portion of the wish spell, one of the first things Greta said was the following:
“The answer is yes.”
It just came right through her. So simple, yet profound.
“The answer is yes.”
Much more was said, but this statement was basic and so important, it has stayed with me for weeks. This statement is very in alignment with my basic tenet that the Universe is benevolent. The law of attraction is set up so that the Universe is always saying yes to us.
It’s really that simple. The Universe will always agree with your energy on any situation.
The answer is yes.
Remind yourself this as much as possible. Check in with yourself and your beliefs. Check in with your energy and what you are vibrating. Allow yourself to dream, wish, and believe.
I’ve kept my official wish on my personal altar to remind myself often.
Support can be helpful in noticing what we are saying to the Universe. If you’d like to be supported by Greta or myself in person, check out the Psychic Sister Schedule. I am also available to book phone or skype sessions through my Energy Sessions page.

The more we share our vulnerability, the more others will see it’s ok to do so as well. The more we share the full spectrum of emotions, the more all beings will begin to be accepted in their full spectrum. As we take this journey, we begin to experience that our vulnerability is our strength. This sharing has huge potential ramifications for all of humanity.
Not everyone will understand immediately. That’s ok. They may think you need some sort of fixing. That’s ok.
For much of recent history, it was not considered socially acceptable to share anything someone would consider “negative”. It was considered to make you look “weak”. In this practice, people went into hiding, only sharing with each other at a very surface level. But this surface existence has led many to dissatisfaction. Many feel bored, disconnected, lacking truth. This hiding actually created much weaker individuals and a much weaker society.
Thankfully, these issues can and are being remedied.
Now is the time to add depth and dimension. We do this by sharing truthfully what is there for us. We do this by accepting and welcoming others in their deep truth of the moment.
This sharing is initially surprising or even shocking to some people. But many will feel relief to see someone who is being real. A deeper connection can be formed. More substance. More feeling. More.
There is much evidence that supports the idea that the opposite of addiction is connection. Sharing your truth battles addiction by forming connection.
Share. Share. Share. Be brave. All is well.
We are becoming so much MORE.
Bless.
