I can't even remember our last dance party here.

Well people, welcome to Friday.

Give yourselves five little minutes, turn up the sound, and dance!

And every room in my house is filled with shit I couldn't live without
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live
(Everything now!)
Every inch of space in my heart is filled with something I'll never start

Let's Talk About Card Readings

Cards ready at a recent women's retreat.
I have a a few great jobs I get paid to do.
I am the Hair Traffic Controller at the salon.
I am now a skincare consultant.
I am a wedding officiant. (I love love, you know!)
I teach Vision Board Workshops.
I facilitate Vision Boards in lieu of final papers with students of any age.
I facilitate retreats.
I co-facilitate retreats.
(There may be more stuff, I can't keep up with myself!)

And I am a card reader.

So what does that mean?

Well, first it means I straddle both the right and left sides of my brain each and every day. Salon checkbook versus "woo-woo" spiritual.

I am a means for your energy and your spirit guides, angel guides and Board of Directors to help you make sense of all the mishagosh you have running around in your head.

Find me a person who doesn't have a holy load of thoughts in their head and I'll hug them hard!

I can't predict the future. I am not clairvoyant. I don't speak to the goddesses and gods. I can't directly communicate with your people on the "other side," I am not a medium. Although they come through and will let themselves be known, I can tell you that!

I can help you get clarity.
I can help you look at your whole brain, which has just exploded onto the table, and help you make sense on where you are stuck or concerned or confused.

I use multiple decks of cards and a pendulum and my intuition.

We are ALL born with intuition and the ability to do whatever we put our minds to. I happen to be able to read the cards in a way that is comforting and fun and easy to look at.

I get excited when the cards are all EXACTLY right. I clap and giggle.
I have been known to "yell" at a client if I can see their potential and they are feeling "not worthy." THAT refrain is the "same bat channel, same bat station" to so many of us day after day!
I cry when the end card is so right it moves me.

It has been suggested I get an old microphone so I can do a mic drop when a reading is totally on point.

My room is beautiful and serene and I love being in there. It is filled with beautiful and meaningful objects. It is ever evolving.
People come in nervous. People who have only had Tarot readings may have a slightly different expectation of what their reading will be like. To my knowledge, no one has been disappointed.

​I am available nearly all the time for readings. I work out of the salon the majority of the time, but I can certainly do phone readings, FaceTime readings, and Skype or Zoom Readings.

To set up a reading during my hours at the salon, click HERE.

Otherwise, you can email me, text me, send a bat signal - whichever is easiest. (Please don't FB message me - those messages get lost!)

I am available to read at your event or retreat.

Readings are $40 for approximately 30 minutes and $80 for approximately 60 minutes.

REQUEST: If you have had a reading from me and feel called to do so, would you PLEASE write me a testimonial. You can email it to me and I will add to my pages. Big love and thanks! xo
You KNOW there is music in the Reading Room. Just imagine it.

Friday the 13th

Peg at the Grand Canyon
TODAY is this woman's birthday. Many of you know and love her so feel free to add a birthday greeting to my mama, Peg.

Peg Buckley was born on Friday, September 13, 1935 in Brooklyn, NY. When her mother moved from Brooklyn to Vermont they found the hospital bill from when my mom was born. It was expensive for her to be born. $12. Yes, you read that right. Twelve dollars for someone so priceless.

This picture was taken on January 16, 2019 at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. Mom had arranged for a private tour of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam for us. She had done hours and hours of PT in order to handle this expedition. (She had two knee replacements the prior year.)

Things started a little iffy when it wasn't a totally private tour, BUT, we settled in quickly when we realized we had an awesome tour guide and lovely tour mates. Plus, mom ended up in the best seat of the van.

We got to the Grand Canyon and found out the elevator was broken. This was NOT good, people.

Putting one foot in front of the other while I "sang" (along with Annemarie & Jane) the theme song from Rocky, mom was able to climb the stairs to get to the area we needed to be in order to go out on the rim.

For ME, the most memorable moment of the ENTIRE trip were the tears in my mothers eyes and the look of wonder as she exclaimed, "I never thought I would get to see this," while seeing the canyon for the first time.


How fabulous that in her 80's she was able to experience this. With ALL of her favorite daughters.

What you need to know is I am terrified of heights. Ugly cry scared of heights.

As a little girl I climbed trees with wild abandon and had no fear. Until I fell out of the tree in our front yard. My father really thought I was dead. I had the wind knocked out of me and the fear into me.

When my kids were little and we took them to their first Yankee game we were HIGH UP in the seats. I had to turn with my back to the field and carry on as if I wasn't crying so as not to pass that on to them.

​So. For ME to do this was a huge deal.

ON THE GLASS
I am AB-SO-LUTE-LY crying in this picture. Fear. Joy. Goddammit I will NOT let the fear win. I needed to triumph, and I did. For THAT day. At that time. And the women of my family cried with me and cheered me on.

I do not take for granted that my mom is alive and healthy and able to be reached by picking up the phone.

I do not take for granted the bonds our family have. Started by Peg, lovingly cultivated by all of us, although usually with Jane at the helm making family events happen.

We are 21 strong with a wedding planned for next May that will make us 22 strong. There are important significant others in the next generation. There will be babies. And puppies. And kittens.

And frankly, without Peg, there would be none of it.

Happy 84th Birthday, Mama!

Thanks for teaching us all to fly. Love you! xo
