One time several years ago, at a more memorable Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the chair decided to read one of the patient-penned stories towards the end of the Big Book (an alcoholic's de facto Bible essentially). It was actually quite bracing for me as I’ve yet to come across an AA group or person from the … Continue reading The Concept of Denial

A Cycle of Gratitude
I am always so grateful to give readings. Honestly, since it makes me feel happy and excited being of service to others in this way, I am most certainly grateful. I have many private moments, sitting in the quiet, just thanking God for enabling these beautiful opportunities. I always felt that being a psychic and … Continue reading A Cycle of Gratitude
My Worthy Past
When I look back on the years that I used, I always, always think of that chunk of time in my life as wasted. I just figured it was lost; I shot it all away.

Writing and crafting your own prayers and meditations … Continue reading Self-Control
New Take on Life (and Death) from Emily
Some things that I just love about Emily Dickinson’s poetry is that she tends to shine light on very common, simple words from the English language that we use practically every single day. I love her use of capital letters in random spots for typically mundane words just as well, since it draws a great deal … Continue reading New Take on Life (and Death) from Emily
It All Started with a Dream
It started with prophetic dreams while I slept. My dreams from the preceding night would come true in the next day or two. It was exceptionally alarming at first but I got used to it. The first one and probably one of the most memorable was one day during the early morning hours when I … Continue reading It All Started with a Dream
