My 12-year-old eyes opened to greet the early dark and quiet of my new-to-me house on a Sunday. Teenage-hood had not set in entirely, and my babysitting gig Saturday night thankfully didn’t go much past 10pm as I was waiting for the toddler’s parents to come home.
read on for a FREEBIE at the end!I typed this into the chat box, to a message to my wife. No, no, both of us are healthy middle-aged people. Just as tired and achey as the next middle-aged parents, coming to grips with sore hips, backs, and eyes that now need reading glasses. For those minor inconveniences, I am daily grateful. Nothing a little more yoga, patience, and five pairs of expertly-placed reading glasses around the house can’t solve.
but what is really going on here? Read on, intrepid traveler!Here’s a little story from recent travels that I hope lets you know that you, beautiful soul, are unforgettable.

Hello, sweet soul and friend. How are things going? And how are you taking care of your big heart today? For me, it’s been an odd month. Changing schedules, covid outbreaks, clogged drains. In other words, life!
So, schedules. During the past month, I all-but-abandoned a part of my morning routine. Today, I started it up again, and it felt like coming home. To me. To why I love myself. It helps me remember me – ALL of me – when I get lost in productivity, books, helping others, and even house cleaning! Here are three sentences you can write down to wrap yourself in love at the start of every day 🙂

Howdy, beautiful soul! How’s it going in your heart today? You meeting each morsel of life, fully-present and absorbed in the miracle that is existence, or are there deeper, darker thoughts afoot?
Deeper thoughts that involve one or more of the following trails:
If I only coulda said this…
If I only woulda done this…
I shoulda known better…
These are some of the strongest leading trails of thought that are big clues. To what? Regret.
Regret is a mighty foe. It not only keeps you unforgiving about what you did/said in the past, it keeps the lens from which you view life darkened, distorted. In yoga, they call this kinda viewpoint on life avidya. Avidya definition: ignorance specifically : blindness to ultimate truth. I know, Regret is a true Joy Block.
So, how can you be at your shiniest, most joyful self, with regret? You can’t. But, here’s what you can do.
Today I’m here to let you know how you can rinse some of your avidya away, so you can embrace and get closer to YOUR ultimate truth, which is Joy and Love.
Let me know what you think!
sending you love, light, and soapy bubbles of healing,

Hello, sweet soul. Do you ever get in a spot where you don’t know what to do? Either because you are in shock, at a loss for words, or wound up with intense emotions?
Last week, I started a lovely live YouTube convo with a new friend in my basement office. Thirty seconds after going live, my son called me. Twice. Later, I could hear my dog barking, for like ten minutes.
After my convo, I realized I had sent my son to the wrong hair salon; the new hairstylist wouldn’t take checks or a card over the phone. And my daughter didn’t think barking would bother my show from upstairs.
Coming into the kitchen to get lunch and apologize to the hair stylist, I saw dishes all over. Which are the kids’ duty while they are home in the summer.
So, full of both remorse and irritation, I started chuckling.
Really? Laughing? Yep.
During that live conversation, not five minutes prior, I had a tarot reading. In this reading, an “extra” card that popped out of the deck. What was that card? It told me I will be best served today by tending to my emotions.
Tarot. It’s not a Ouija board. It’s not a crystal ball. It’s not for witches or psychics.
Tarot is a powerful personal development tool for everybody to channels your intuition and flow knowledge right to your grey matter. Like that wise, unfiltered, and honest second opinion you’ve been waiting for.
What do you need? An open mind.
Is it helpful? In a way, it saved one human’s life. When they didn’t know what else to do, Ej, the tarot reader on my show, turned to tarot. They share some of their journey with me, in the show.
Listen to the powerful journey (yes, interrupted but always authentic!) Through The Looking Glass with Tarot Sage Ej Merrifield. You can book a reading with them at https://trailsedgeastrology.wordpress.com/work-with-us/
Soon, you’ll be able to find them @TrailsEdgeTarot on instagram. They hope to educate and empower other humans to find knowledge and healing from tarot, too. Watch and listen today.
And, here are the decks Ej talked about…
Staring at the horizon above the meadow at a tree-lined subdivison, my anger smokes out my fingertips. My body is in a yoga pose, called Warrior Two. Which always looks to me like an archer stance, ready for battle.
oooh! This sounds tough. Let’s go.I sat there, yesterday, on my bed. My hot laptop staring right at me. My legs aching from laying flat; my middle-aged back screaming “you know, you have a desk for work now!”
But my stomach and head weren’t listening, despite the nagging. It had been three hours since my last break. All was well. All my tabs closed, well, except….
Except my personal email tab. The purple outline of my google chrome browser was still open at top of my screen, haunting me.
Are you intrested in a good read? Here are the main characters (albeit a bit older) in my best-selling book, For Cryin’ Out Loud.
Was it Miss Scarlet with the Rope in the Conservatory? Maybe. One of the below players, usually under the alias of Mom, is the prime suspect of most crimes under the kitchen roof. Especially if it involves plant-based food torture for teenagers. Wahahahaha!
