Call The Stereotype Police, Please

Well, I suppose it’s that time again, Friends. It’s another episode of This Gives Me a Fucking Migraine Every Single Time.

The Why of Intuition, Groovy Metaphysical Edition

You may have noticed that in circles where people are interested in learning about their intuition they are also often talking about tapping into the creative potential of our brains.

The Blurting It Out Stories: 1. When To Say All The Things, And When Not To

I learned the hard way that it is always imperative to ask permission before sharing intuitive information with someone.

RECHARGE DAY FOUR: Fun.

Busyness is one of the biggest dampers on your intuition. There’s a lot of talk these days about slowing down, becoming more mindful, and creating time for ourselves. In theory, I agree. Doing all of those things (especially if you throw in daily meditation practice) will help you foster a better relationship with your intuition… Read more »

RECHARGE DAY FIVE: Zen Doggos

When we first moved to Exeter, my husband took the Downeaster to work every day.
