Bipolar Choices
My brother is 51 years old and got married for the first time last weekend. His wedding gave me the opportunity to reflect on our bipolar life choices: his decision for a traditional marriage late in life and my decision for a divorce that allowed me to embark on a journey of alternative healing and…
Discover Your Destiny
Melody Myrick and I just returned from a four day Shambhala healing workshop in Mount Shasta with Susan Isabelle. I hope you’ll join us at the end of April, when Susan comes to Songbird for a weekend workshop, “I Love Crystals” followed by a day of Destiny Readings. At the end of the Shambhala workshop,…
Perspective and Perfection
What percentage of your life do you consider “negative” and what percentage “positive”? How often do you focus on the negative instead of the positive? A few weeks ago, I was weeding the labyrinth in my backyard. At one point, I heard my inner critic telling me, “You shouldn’t have to be weeding. You put…
Being vs Doing Goals
A couple weeks ago I was trying to decide whether to attend our annual Living the Life You Want in 201_ with the Tarot as Your Guide class. The teacher, Christeen Fischer, had sent out an email about it being a goal-setting class, but I didn’t have any goals that I wanted to set. That…

When you release the limitations of your body and allow universal life force energy to…
Fifty Shades of Spiritual Growth
How often do you judge your choices and beliefs? How much do you judge others? I recently stayed up late reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I didn’t want to put it down. Although I thought it was poorly written, I felt the characters were well developed. I could relate to them. Soon afterward, a couple…
Clear the Fog and Be Prosperous
The last month has been a month of ups, downs and everything in between. I am doing my best to simply observe and not attach to the stories that my mind tells me. Helping me out recently are two supportive pieces of wisdom from other teachers. At Sybil Harmony’s Angels & Avatars class, she told…
