Meditation daily

 Find that cozy, quiet place in your house; the one that's free of noise and the daily pesky distractions of our modern world. Is it the kitchen, the laundry room...even a closet? It matters not what the room is because all that matters now is the journey I want to take you on. Let it be the portal. Close your eyes and allow me to take you there. I want you to breathe slowly, in through your nose and exhaling through the mouth. Allow me to paint you a picture. Now you're sitting on a beach. Sand underneath your body on the warm beach, the warm summer sun caressing your body and a beautiful ocean sunset splayed across the horizon as though designed, illustrated just for you. Hear the waves as they gently roll and splash across the shore and glimmer in the light and all of it's beauty. None of those trials and tribulations matter anymore. You've escaped and all is beautiful. All is calm. Everything is under control. Say it out loud. Bring your chin up to the sky and lay your hands at your sides so that you may bask in all of the warmth and the sunshine. Let me say to you, that this is a place you may always visit. No matter the amount of money you have. No matter how difficult the struggles your tired eyes may endure in this world, this is a place you may always come to be warm and to feel loved. This is a place I have visited many a time. For 15 years to be exact. 


You see, meditation isn't about an escape from your true and sobering reality. Much to the contrary, true meditation involves reaching destinations and realities you never could have previously imagined. Take my hand and we will travel there together.

Choosing Presence: A Day of Stillness, Sound, and Self”

 Today feels like one of those rare, perfectly aligned moments where everything slows down just enough for me to truly breathe it all in. I took my practice outside, letting nature hold space for me as I meditated under the open sky. The gentle breeze, the warmth of the sun, and the quiet rhythm of the world around me created the perfect environment to reconnect with my energy and intuition. As a tarot reader, I’m always reminding others to pause and listen inward—but today was a reminder for myself. Sitting in stillness, I allowed my thoughts to settle like dust, making room for clarity, peace, and subtle messages from within. I also brought along my new panda drum, and what a beautiful addition it turned out to be. Its soft, grounding tones seemed to echo the heartbeat of the earth itself. Each note carried intention, helping me deepen my meditation and open my energy in a gentle, nurturing way. There’s something incredibly healing about combining sound with stillness—it creates ...

My first tarot booth for a party

Today was exciting but also a bit nerve wracking Iset up my first tarot reading booth at a party. I’ve read for people before, but this felt completely different. Walking into a room full of strangers and offering something so personal really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Setting up my table felt like a small ritual and somehow it became a calm spot in the middle of all the noise. I wasn’t sure how people would react at first, but they started coming up pretty quickly, which helped me relax. Every person felt different some had specific questions, while others were just curious. Some readings were light and fun, and others got surprisingly deep for a party setting. It ended up feeling more like a series of real conversations than just readings. There were moments when I doubted myself or felt a bit overwhelmed, but I grew more confident as I went. By the end, I was tired in a good way, and honestly really proud of myself. I realized that tarot can happen anywhere, not just in quiet...

Tarot in nature

Reading tarot in nature feels like stepping into a living version of the deck. The cards don’t just sit in your hands they start showing up all around you. Pull The Fool, and the open trail ahead suddenly feels like an invitation. Draw The  star near water, and the calm reflection becomes part of the message. Even a simple breeze can echo the energy of swords, while sunlight flickering through trees feels like wands in motion. Outdoors, tarot becomes less about memorizing meanings and more about noticing connections. A falling leaf during a reading about release, or a bird appearing at just the right moment, can feel like the world is gently responding. It’s simple pull a card, then look around. Nature has a way of reflecting the message back to you no guide book needed.
