My IT girl— and that’s IT as in Internet Technology, not as in Poor Little Rich Girl idiot Paris Hilton—sent me a terrific quote today. It just seems to fit this particular day rather well.
“When one door closes, another door opens; but [...]

Mercury’s in retrograde again. That comes too often, doesn’t it? Revisits and relooks and problems with communication, transportation, and computers.
Some things have shifted around this past week. It reminds me of throwing groceries in the back of the car and getting home [...]

I’m troubled about something but really have no one I can discuss it with. Or at least, no one I feel comfortable discussing it with. I tried in earnest but discovered I was talking to absolutely the wrong person. It made me [...]

You cannot imagine how much email I get everyday. Filters do little to no good or I lose sales.
Part of the problem is that one of my private email addresses has been spread all over the planet by a handful of people [...]

So. I have an energetic connection with two different men. It’s funny and odd and…I’m learning a lot from it.
Of the two, I’m feeling the Ten of Pents more strongly these days. He’s lost and confused and really reaching out energetically to [...]

I’m having a moment of doubt, and I’m not sure what the origin is. What I’m worried the origin is is money. That’s why I have to be absolutely sure before I make any decisions.
I’ve completed the first phase of my training [...]

Pensacola Guy, a cute mid-30-something I dated once in the early spring of this year, has suddenly remembered my number after disappearing, mainly due to his work and some trips abroad. He’s back in town as of this past week and wants [...]

I never know whether to chuckle or give the kid a hug, but Shannon has a new job for the summer. And it’s most definitely a new perspective, and not just for her.
Her original plan was to take college classes this summer [...]

At first, I had to wonder if I’d said something to offend the Guardians of the West and the Element of Water. Maybe forgotten to dismiss them in ritual or something.
First there was the slow leak in the toilet that eventually was [...]

When a loved one dies, we are often crushed by the realization that life goes on without them. It’s no different when someone is “dead” to us, whatever the reason may be. It’s just not as obvious because we assume they still [...]

Done. A few hours of intense spiritual work is always a bit of a relief for me. Let’s just say that I’ve been divining for the summer.
I’ve had a little light shed for myself on the Ten of Pents romance and its [...]

I have not slept well the past two nights. There’s turbulent energy in the air around me.
For the past two days, the Ten of Pents has been standing in front of me. I see him in my mind’s eye.
He’s in silhouette, almost. [...]

The moment I opened my eyes, I knew—with a growing sense of dread—that I had overslept. Somehow I managed to be showered and out the door in 10 minutes, knowing I’d still be a good 5 minutes late for work, and already [...]

The washing machine repairman held up the hose and shook his head. “This shouldn’t have come off night before last,” he said. “This should have come off a long time ago.” He indicated the condition of the hose and the clamp that [...]

It’s been a series of coincidences that just kept me from having to have major, major repairs to the house. At least several thousand after insurance, if insurance covered any of it at all. The coincidences make it almost pleasant when I [...]

Going back to bed now.
The dreams over the past few days have been really odd—like the being sentenced to be strangled with rope and choked to death with crystalline rocks and me knowing that even though my end was coming, my big [...]

He actually listened to me. (This one seems small but it’s such a biggie.) Examples: He picked up take-out and included everything I loved and more…about 5 to-go boxes’ worth, LOL, to make sure he had all the things I’d mentioned. He [...]

The Ten of Pentacles and I sat with our feet dangling in the hot tub, drinking wine, star gazing, holding hands. It was sweet. He told me how he didn’t feel he had anything to offer in a relationship, given that he [...]

I saw “Mr. Brooks” tonight. Loved the movie. Always great to see women in their 40’s in meaty roles, though at times, Demi Moore felt a bit stiff. At times I thought the movie was a bit bizarre with his conscience or [...]

This is an observation made by the divorce lawyer for the guy I was seeing—and no, I had nothing to do with his divorce.
In criminal court, you see the worst of society at their very best. They’re dressed up and paraded around [...]

Is it going to be like this with every man I form a connection with? And I’m not talking about sex. This did happen with my no-sex-but-really-wanted-to guy and did not happen, for example, with the boy I was with a while [...]

Maybe it’s because I, for some reason, equate intimidating with domineering and I know they’re not the same but that that quirk is from something in my childhood. I’m also a relatively quiet person, which I don’t equate to intimidating, perhaps because [...]

I want a relationship where the communication is deep and the walls are few. That’s always the problem in a relationship, isn’t it? Lack of communication? The other person’s communication?
We pride ourselves on being able to communicate. On telling the other person [...]

I’m amused. I’ve spent a nice while in the garden, watering, and then checking out some plants on the back patio that Aislinn planted but didn’t water. Er… ex-plants.
I’m planting lots of flowers around my back patio and even thinking of a [...]
