journey with more joy!
Over the years, I have intermittently discussed the benefit of focused appreciation. My discipline has ebbed and flowed. With intention, I stepped back into it. I think it was 2018, when one friend of mine approached me with a proposition. She asked if I would be willing to partner with her. Each day, we would… Continue reading The Appreciation Game

In the Tarot, cards XIX - The Sun is more or less the opposite. The operative word for this card is basking...as in basking in the… Continue reading This Much is True
As soon as there is another person involved, many of us consider manifestations more difficult to achieve. “I can line up with what I desire,” you might say, “but how do I get my husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/boss to see it the same way or comply?” The Journey of the Fool is from where you are to where… Continue reading How do I get what I want with or from someone else?

This time, I feel emotionally inspired, rather than intellectually inspired. One quality...category...subject...or context that is Astrologically associated with Venus is Value. Venus rules Taurus and rules… Continue reading Value

This is the New Moon in Capricorn—the first of Winter (or Summer, down under). From the lunar calendar perspective, this… Continue reading Happy 2017!
