Life Hack: Balancing emotions in the Full Moon in Pisces

Yesterday we celebrated the Full Moon and Super Moon. The moon was in Pisces - a water sign, a sign of compassion, and ruled by Neptune, God of the Sea - so one should expect heightened energy around anything governed by the water element: emotions, creativity, intuition, dreams and the subconscious. It's so important to… Continue reading Life Hack: Balancing emotions in the Full Moon in Pisces

Harness the Energy of Water on the August Full Moon

Life Hack: use your intuition to make more authentic decisions

Does intuition play a part in your life? It definitely does in mine. For instance, decision-making becomes difficult at times and I wrestle with what to do... I get into that rut of over-thinking, analysis-paralysis. When that happens, I turn to my Wise Self for help: "What do I need to know or do to… Continue reading Life Hack: use your intuition to make more authentic decisions

Recently I have spent time with several people, agonizing about their upcoming 30th birthdays.... and perhaps not noticing the irony of sharing their fears with someone twice their age! Life brings us many milestones, all worthy of celebration. But at times, I definitely hear concern in the voices of friends - and clients - about… Continue reading Tip of the Day: you’re not aging… you’re aligning with your wisdom!

Easter-Eostre: a time of rebirth and renewal

 Many people today are celebrating Easter Sunday, the oldest religious holiday in the Christian calendar. It is believed that the name "Easter" comes from the old English celebration "Eostre" or Ostara. Alternate names - such as when we speak of the Paschal feast - come from the holiday's association with Passover, "Pesach".
