Not Only My Father, Also My Best Friend
I have been attempting to write about my father’s death for the last 10 months and as I do so now, unstoppable tears blind my eyes.
Even though congestive heart failure consumed him physically, his mind was like that of a fine-tuned piano and he had a remarkable will to live that was amazing to me.
Why is this so difficult anyway? What should I write about first? Why even try for that matter? This is the thing: no one else knew me and my past the same why as my father did. No one else will be as uniquely important.
I thought I had it all together, the concept of life and death were the same to me. But I found that with the death of my father major adjustments in the way I view my world, myself and feelings of being vulnerable is now beginning to emerge. Read the rest of this entry »
Rose Quartz – A Nurturing Friend
Rose Quartz is a nurturing friend and cannot be overstated. Gentleness and love play a large part in the healing capabilities of Rose Quartz.
A soothing influence, it softens the edges of our existence and makes negative experiences less detrimental.
Rose Quartz deals with energy on an emotional level. It has an empathetic nature and when it is in tune with its owner’s emotions, it helps diffuse negative stimuli and uncomfortable memories.
It helps us to discover the ability to love ourselves and makes us more open to other people as well as encourages us to forgive ourselves and cultivate self-acceptance. Read the rest of this entry »
No Angels, No Guides… Just Me!
I have been reading professionally for over 20 years. I am self-taught in every way. Until recently, I have never been questioned about working with guides or angels.
But lately I have noticed that an increasing number of people are asking, “What are your guides telling you”? These days more and more people want to know where the information is coming from, while I’m reading for them.
I must say, I find it quite disturbing how important it has become for some that I should tell them that “my guide says this” and “my angels say that” Now, I refuse to be dishonest, so I will say it exactly as it is: I am getting this from me! Read the rest of this entry »
Finding Freedom In The Tarot
I began my journey with the Tarot over 20 years ago. It was never my intention to learn to master the Tarot cards with the aim of doing it professionally.
In fact, my relationship with the Tarot was an unexpected 12-step program, so to speak!
A five-year romantic relationship, that had been fueled with much passion, but was unstable from the start, had come to an end. I found that I no longer could run from my true authentic self.
I came face-to-face with ‘The Tower’. Yes, a violent revolution and overthrow of false consciousness was taking place in my life. The destruction of the old order was happening on a grand scale! Read the rest of this entry »
Belonging
Finding one’s own way can be torturous. From the beginning, your family never seemed to figure out how you managed to be so different compared to the rest.
It is true that you match your family genetically, but going by your disposition you belong to another group of people.
It is a feeling of being lost and searching for, and finding one’s own kind; it is not about wanting, rather needing to.
Brothers, sisters and others in the community torment, gossip and chase you away. To be rejected breaks your heart; you wonder about what to do in order not to be rejected by your own.
It is very sad, as you did not do anything to justify it, other than act different, look different. Read the rest of this entry »
