If you’re not psychic, think Tesla. Think unified field theory. Think physics. Think energy patterns and maybe even satellite communications signals, which is what it’s most closely related to. If you are psychic, you’re with me already….
Or think of the mother-child bond and [...]

Ironic, isn’t it? Some of the best intuitives I’ve ever known cannot see for themselves and help themselves in the same way they see for and help other people. At a Friday spiritual Gathering, I offhandedly mention how often I’ve been berated for [...]

If you miss someone or something, it simply means they had an impact on your life. It’s an honor to be missed—absence, more than anything else, can show how connected we are to someone or something, even if we didn’t realize it. When [...]

I’m not sure that understanding Biology 101 makes it any easier emotionally. Or if maybe we’re just all damned but keep trying to pretend humans are something other than animals.
In putting together the first Spilled Candy newsletter I’ve put out in quite some [...]

I’ve been given another perspective on why date-able men find out about my kids and run like hell. Here, all this time, I thought it was because my daughters were teenagers. But it wasn’t. It was business, strictly business.
I wouldn’t consider what passed [...]

I am so tired of waiting for other people. And anyone with a lecture on patience can just go straight to their form of hell, whatever and wherever that may be.
I’ve been patient. I think I’ve waaaaaaaay succeeded in the patience department. I’ve [...]

So. My 16-year-old daughter and I discovered today how to get a man’s attention. Lots of them. Without even having to shower or hike up our skirts.
We’d been re-designing my front yard, and some jobs just can’t be done with a chainsaw. No, [...]

Sometimes it’s really not a coincidence. Especially not if you asked for it.
My boss’ boss asked that I research a certain topic and brief him in 2 days. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, but I was stuck in back-to-back meetings for 2 [...]

Every couple of weeks, someone asks me if I’m terribly jealous of my ex’s new girlfriend. I’m not and I never have been, even though I fully expected to be because I’d received enough warnings from well-meaning acquaintances and counselors. But no, not [...]

I must give something up soon, and it’s going to be a very good thing that I do.
My coach says I’m like the blindfolded woman with two swords. I’m holding onto so much right now that my hands are tied and something must [...]

I think it’s a great thing when you can laugh about your ex-spouse. There’s got to be something that’s healed when instead of anger, you feel amusement.
Yesterday, I spent a glorious Sunday afternoon in my garden. I haven’t spent much time there in [...]

Sometimes I think I’ll just be a hermit. No more relationships. Not with friends, not with lovers, not with anyone. I’ll just hide in a cave and ignore the human race.
I’ve had too many disappointments over the past few years. People pretending to [...]

I took Shannon and her boyfriend to see “V for Vendetta” last night and loved it. I was cheering in my seat during his 5-minute introductory V-alliteration speech, which covered every possible V-word in the dictionary and vexed me very much because it [...]

Shannon tells me the biggest change in me over the past few years is that I’m more defined…in an undefined way. She thinks it’s cool that I know exactly who I am and what I want and that I won’t settle for less.
How [...]

The vision comes in the early morning. I’m barely out of bed when it hits—just a flash and then it’s gone but I’m wide awake and fully cognizant of all its participants.
I am standing across a street in the sunshine, and I’m looking [...]

When she was little, strangers would ask, perplexed, if she was my daughter. There she was with white-blonde hair and me with dark brown…or burgundy…or auburn…or black. She didn’t get her blonde hair from me, and I had customers in the grocery question [...]

Almost two years have passed since I filed for divorce. Sometimes I remember what my psychic pal, Mark, said about 3 years ago in a counseling session when he told me that in 3 years I wouldn’t recognize myself. His comment terrified me, [...]

The dreams have returned, and I’m not quite sure what to make of the one a crow’s calling woke me from this morning. Whatever was holding back the dreams seems to have broken loose, though, and I know I’ve been extremely productive—creatively—for the [...]

I haven’t dreamed much in the past two months, or if I have, I haven’t remembered them much. That’s changing again, and last night’s dream was very symbolic for me.
Until the first few weeks of January, I’d had months of interplay in the [...]

It’s an odd question that surfaces among one of my more social-able writers’ groups. Are people really happy at 30? And what happens to make them sour on life before they turn 40, so much of it stinging them around 33 to 35 [...]

What’s wrong with so-called spiritual people that they have to be so competitive about their “gifts”? If you think human dynamics are a little insane, imagine what it’s like with magickal people—the manipulations can increase exponentially.

I went off on a colleague today. I’d reached my limit, and if she didn’t know it before, she does now. The subject? Who I’m dating…or not.
Yeah. Again. What’s that, the third time this month?
What’s with all these women I work with who [...]

Okay. Well. So now I’m having visions. Not in the way you’d think, either. These start as a 2-dimensional visual flash and then I “step into them,” for lack of a better description. Sometimes I step into the person and feel their emotions; [...]

You know, if I wrote it in a novel, I’m dead sure that my editor would tell me it’s just not believable. But that’s why truth is stranger than fiction.
In TV shows, they keep the guy and girl apart for as long as [...]

The revisions on Dark Revelations aren’t bad at all, not really. I knew they’d want me to sex it up a bit (always a pain in the ass when the author is celibate) when the focus of the line switched several months ago [...]
