As I’ve been reflecting on trauma, I can’t help but notice how common it is for me to feel a sense of urgency. Take, for example, my pre-work ritual: I’m buzzing around the kitchen, bouncing from task to task with ease as I wait for my morning coffee to brew. I don’t have a drop […]

Tarot Practice and Mental Health: Tarot Tuesday
It’s been a while since I did something other than a reading for #tarottuesday (ahem, since my first-ever tarot blog post). But I’ve had a tarot-related thought poking at my mind over the past few days that’s been begging to be put to paper1. For me, there’s a clear link between the state of my […]

Welcome to another #selfdiscoverysaturday, a recurring event where I lead you in an exercise so you can get better acquainted with yourself.

It’s Self-Discovery Saturday and today we’re exploring a lunar activity: the Taurus Black Moon! This moon is happening today, April 30, 2022, and it’s considered significant for a few reasons.

Balancing Discipline and Boundaries in Creative Work
I’ve been reflecting lately on my creative work – how it requires a gentle balance of both discipline and boundaries in order to stay in a joyful (read: not burnt-out) state. Realizing that I’m probably not the only one to struggle with this equilibrium, I thought there might be some use in sharing my thoughts […]
A Mind-Body-Spirit Tarot Reading: Tarot Tuesday
Today I’m sharing a mind-body-spirit tarot reading using my Tarot of the Divine deck by @yoshiyoshitani 💜 I may not have mastered TikTok yet (like why my voiceover disappeared upon posting 🤷♀️), but at least I had fun making it. And hey, that’s what captions are for! We’ve got a hefty three-card baddie chock full […]
Approaching Discomfort: A Tarot Spread
I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say that discomfort is a familiar and unwanted sensation that kicks my avoidance tendencies into high gear. Once my body registers that prickly sensation of unease, I’ll find myself unconsciously reaching for [insert distraction here] to help dull the angst and bring me back to […]
Musings on Love
Today, I’m floating on a cloud. I’m riding the high of just launching my writing blog – the first self-promoted public acknowledgment that I am a writer – and the positivity is flowing out of me. I feel the familiar energetic buzz, but notice it carries a different quality today. Normally this is the frequency […]
