A Challenge

I am very proud to be volunteering at The Dempsey Challenge ReikiSession2PKthis weekend.

I was first drawn to Patrick Dempsey as a fan when I discovered that he has dyslexia. This caught my attention because dyslexia runs in my family.  I often point to him as a role model for children with dyslexia:  “Look what he is doing! You can do anything!”

I love a quote about dyslexia from Patrick Dempsey on The Power of Dyslexia’s website: “It’s made me who I am today.” Hmmm…hopefully, he really did say that. (If it’s on the internet, it must be true, right?) Keep reading

Review of Magical Times

magical timesI have a lot of Angel Card and Oracle Decks. Full disclosure: I am a collector of the things that I love.

🙂

Up until now, I haven’t been drawn to the fairy cards, at least not to the point of actually purchasing a deck.

Then my friend Stacey gave me this deck, Magical Times Empowerment Cards by Jody Bergsma.  I appreciated the gift, but no thrill of anticipation went through me as I held them.

I brought them home. I put them down. I went on with my life for a few days.
And then.

And then, I heard them calling me. I retrieved them from the shelf. I opened them up. I started working with them and surprise! I really love them! I have been drawn to them again and again to pull a card for the day, to supplement a reading from another deck, or just to hold them.
I pulled a card for you, my readers, tonight: Keep reading

Pecha whaaaaat?

Program - August 2015I heard about Pecha Kucha last spring when I attended The Enlightenment Expo.  Kristi Borst shared her Pecha Kucha presentation that she created with her amazing art.

Next I saw a small ad for a Pecha Kucha show that was being held in Kennebunkport last May. Pecha Kucha?  Japanese for ‘chit chat’. You present 20 sides in 20 seconds, for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.  My daughter and I went.

We loved it.

Next, I got an email from The Pecha Kucha Committee; they were looking for presenters for the August show.  I had this crazy idea. What if I submitted a bid to be the show?  A title even came to me: My Road to Reiki. Keep reading

Following the signs

I saw an ad for an open house at a local business and felt an inexplicable urge to go. Since this year I made the commitment to not argue with my intuition, I went. kissing angelsOn the way, I was talking to my husband about my paternal grandmother who died in 2004. After we got there, I poked around and found a pair of kissing angels in one of the boxes marked “Attic Sale”. Immediately, I got that huge welling up of emotion (complete with inappropriate public tears) that I know is my intuition telling me that something big is happening and I need to pay attention.
