Remembering Other Planets and Times
The second visual flash I had, the one after the past life image of the falcon on my wrist, occurred in the late 90’s. Back then, that was an anomaly. If they happened at all, they tended to be away from home and work, usually when I was at a writers’ conference or with very…

Meditation Work — A Flash of Light
In my meditation, there’s a flash of the man who comes to me in my dreams and visions. He is walking now with purpose, in a long robe that’s brown and coarse and hooded. A lantern swings from his hand as he walks, long lunging steps that add bounce to his knees. He’s walking in …

Marking Time
Sometimes I mark off days on my calendar, invisibly, and people misunderstand. They like to tell me that I shouldn’t be marking things off, as if all the time between two points is wasted time. They see only the two events, like poles in the distance, and not the wires and connections between or the…

Happy Mabon—and Lick My Boots!
I am utterly happy. And do you know why? Oh, it’s not what I thought either…. “Now repeat after me,” my friend says. “‘Lick my boots, worm!’” She pronounces “worm” like “Veeeerm,” and I start giggling. Yes, I am 44 and giggling like a little girl. We are in the midst of wishing each …

Murphy’s Law in Full Effect
I was bored with food and tempted to skip lunch altogether, but I’d already been bored with breakfast ideas and did skip the most important meal of my day. So I wandered over to the Food Court and picked up the Special #1 to-go from the Chinese booth and headed back to the office so…

Second Chance Success Story
Though most people I see who are given second chances somehow manage to blow them in a big way, one of my all-time favorite work friends isn’t one of them. I haven’t seen her in years—we no longer work together and her life is very different now—but her story has a happy ending, and it…

Energetic Mergers
I love energy play, and someone’s been playing with me today…in a very pleasant way. I allowed myself to be open to it, and even more importantly, I allowed myself to enjoy the interchange. Yes, I know who it is. He has a particular “signature” to his energy. It started with the 3rd chakra here…

Second Chances and Last Chances
We often get second chances. But what do we do with them? First, we have to recognize a second chance when it comes along. By virtue of an issue coming up again for us or our seeing a pattern that’s not good for us, the Universe if presenting us with a second chance. It’s too…

And Then Again….
Maybe it’s just a matter of distinguishing who my real friends are, saving the great news just for them, and being a total bitch to everyone else. After the blast of negativity from the second colleague/old friend with whom I shared a tidbit of news, I received an email from another friend. She’d emailed me…

I Will Not Share Good News… I Will Not Share….
I close my eyes tightly and will everything to go away as I chant. I will not share good news…I will not share good news…I will not share good news…. That’s right! I have a new mantra! In the past 24 hours, I’ve heard from two old friends I hadn’t heard from much in the…

Living the Lie
“I bet she wears the pants in that family!” Two receptionists sit in my doctor’s office, unaware that they can be heard in the next room. Their remarks aren’t catty, however. It’s just mild gossip and speculation. The woman has just been taken back to the doctor’s exam table. She’s friendly, open-hearted, in charge. She…

A Sudden Need for Motion
My spiritual guides have been incredibly active for the past few weeks. It’s been epiphany after epiphany, as if some great veil is being lifted. I’m settling into a new mindset and staying aware of all these intensities going on around me. Which isn’t easy. Any upsets that clobber me emotionally tend to cast a…
