[Monday Message] Silence is golden
Silence is golden, clear communication is even better, and situational awareness is important. They do go together though. People like to be helpful. And being of service is a wonderful thing.

[Monday Message] Spiritual Choices
This is a Free Will Universe. Humankind’s gift from the Divine is that of choice. Without it, we would have nothing to choose against. We can make choices to prioritize our animal nature, or we can make spiritual choices. You can either make the choices of your five-year-old self, or you can make choices based…
[Monday Message] You Are Responsible to the Greater Good
You are responsible. It is part of your job, as a human being, to be conscious in word and deed. Be conscious of what is going on around you and speak up when injustice happens, while understanding that your value system may not be shared by everyone; honor people’s agency and let them tell you…
[Monday Message] Do Not Sit Idly By
Far too often, we teach children that sitting still is the definition of being good. This translates, in our adult lives, into not interfering when interference is called for. Whether your personal boundaries are being violated or someone is doing something out in the world that is patently wrong, speaking up is the right thing…

Thinning of the veil, Taurus & Scorpio energy, solar activity, meteors…
This is one of my favorite energies of the year. Yes, I’m in one of my mourning periods, but there’s also all this Scorpio meets Taurus energy (which is where I live). It’s all sexy and earthy and sensual and feet-in-the-mud. This year, we’ve also got some meteor shower and solar activity. This is supercharged….
Support yourself so you can support others
We all feel like we’ve been working hard already, possibly even struggling, so it’s important to make sure to recharge your batteries. You can’t support others if you don’t put your own oxygen mask on first. Support yourself; it makes you a good member of the community. So start by asking yourself what feeds you?…
Forms of Healing: Acoustic Therapy
Forms of sound therapy have been used to facilitate healing for thousands of years around the world. Chanting, drumming, singing, and instrumentation can all create change in the body and mind. The ancient Greek mathematics mystic Pythagoras even developed a mathematically based musical scale that had such profound effects that it was brought to the…

Money, Addiction, and the Concept of Enough – The Long Read
Money is a poor excuse for a God. Are you surprised by my assertion that we’ve made it into a god? What do people mean when they say “I’ve lost faith in the economy”? Why does the United States put “In God We Trust” on our money? Why do people (and the state) determine their,…
