Stay Away From Those ‘Basket Thieves’
Your hopes, your dreams, your wishes and aspirations, all of your visions for your life are stacked together in your own little basket of hope. I have one. So does my neighbor, and my best friend too. Be it in our minds, or on paper, we all have that little basket of hope. Or one could even go so far as to call it a “bucket list”. I call it my “basket of hope”. Same difference.
Recently I had the misfortune of coming across a “basket thief” – kind of like a horse whisperer or a dog whisperer, except not nearly the positive experience either one of the above can bring. A basket thief doesn’t come to you to whisper in your ear about your hopes and your dreams. They don’t even really care about your hopes and dreams. What they do care about is you putting aside said hopes and dreams in order to help them achieve theirs. Continue reading
The Third Chakra
The third chakra, or Manipura, is located just above the navel in the solar plexus. It is symbolized by a downward pointing triangle with ten petals. It is also known as the solar plexus chakra.
The animal totem of the third chakra is the ram and the musical note that resonates with this chakra is “E”.
The color of the solar plexus energy center is yellow. It rules the metabolic and digestive systems. The corresponding gland is the pancreas. Foods to stimulate this chakra include bananas, corn, and yellow squash.
Physically, Manipura governs digestion, mentally it governs personal power, emotionally it governs expansiveness, and spiritually, it is involved in all matters of growth. Continue reading
The Rosary Is A Powerful Tool
I look at so many people struggling, and so ready to get angry at the littlest things, so disconnected from the divine spark inside of them. I know a great tool to deal with this: I often pray the Rosary and thank God for all of the blessings in my life.
It really works for me. The promise of the Rosary is true, in that it will bring blessings into your life. It has brought so much goodness into mine.
I gave a friend, who is suffering from a horrible depression and feeling of incompleteness, a Rosary to pray. I found that she was happier after learning and praying the Rosary.
I wish I would have known about the Rosary many, many moons ago, but it’s never too late to learn the Rosary and see what blessings it can bring into your life. It really works. Continue reading
Reading Between The Lines
Growing up in a family of psychics, I can remember my mother telling me that in life we have to always “read between the lines.” What she meant was that life has much to offer us, from relationship to career to recreation. To make the best life choices we need to look out for opportunities presented to us in the form of signs and synchronicity.
Every day we receive signs and inner guidance: in our dreams, next to the road, in numbers, from the words spoken by strangers, even in songs on the radio. Magic is everywhere, we just need to be aware and keep looking out for it. Continue reading
What It Means To Be Psychic
The word “psychic” gets tossed around a good deal in today’s world. Most people, when asked, would say that a psychic is a person who sees the future, or is able to connect with spirits. The truth is, it’s not quite so simple, but everyone is born with psychic abilities.
Psychic ability is the ability to interface with realms beyond the everyday. There are as many ways to connect psychically as there are realms! It may seem daunting at first to try and find your special gift or gifts. The best start you can make is to find a mentor. Remember when you learned baseball or piano? Learning to develop psychic abilities is the same. Much of it is practice and learning from someone who knows. Continue reading

The Year Of The Horse
January 31 marked the Lunar New Year, the most important day in the Eastern zodiac. After a problematic 2013, many are hoping this year, which is that of the Wood Horse, will be a more promising one.
The Horse is traditionally one of the most outgoing, adventurous signs of the Eastern zodiac. Compare him to the sign of Sagittarius in the Western zodiac.
Those born in Horse years are said to be exuberant, independent, and optimistic. So what will that mean for the world this year? Be especially careful with financial matters this year. Horse can be impulsive and overly generous. You won’t want to make decisions you regret later. Continue reading
