so in my exuberance of finally feeling like i might kinda know what i am doing... i have added a whole new section to my contact form!

it is called free reports!

it's free

it's reports i've written (and mostly edited but you never know what might have been over looked)

what are the reports about?

there are nifty factoids on how reflexology reduces stress levels

or why a tarot reading rocks all your existential angst

you can access the contact form of enlightenment here

and don't forget to follow me on twitter for your daily dose of tarot goodness, plus other goodies i post there once in awhile. there is a twitter feed right over there--->

twitter feed is on the side bar click it to follow me :D

i have a thing and it's a good thing

you know that feeling when things click...

when it all comes together in one instant... over a cup of tea, say

when you still don't yet know what it looks like, nor what it really feels like but you realize you aren't nearly as random as you once assumed...

i had one of those moments last night. drifting off to sleep i suddenly some how put everything together and BAM! i leaped out of bed scribbled notes in the dark and went back to sleep. this morning, i looked them over and realized that this was actually a) worth keeping b) worth developing c) a stroke of brilliance d) validation that i was not an idiot to pursue this path

i have a system... i have goals... i have a way that i work with clients and it is not nearly as random or scattered as i was beginning to think.

this is awesome.

validation on the front that reflexology, tarot, business skill development, ritual, energy work, house blessings and saving the planet all go together in one happy amazing THING...

what is this THING?

i have no concrete idea... it has no name... it has only a vague outline of form

all i know for sure is that i have 6 entry points, six ways in which to explore with me and progress and move and shake.

and now off to create salad... because THINGS must be fed.

more blabbering on MY THING will follow soon...

when life gets too complicated

try the simple things first.

this post sums it up perfectly: when looking for the eggs check UNDER the chickens first

it's a monday, on a tuesday which is fine by me... the basement got mostly finished yesterday!

but... the water is still dripping...
have called in help because we checked under all the chickens and now it's time for the professionals to be called in to solve the problem. sometimes life requires you seek out help, releasing some of your hard earned cash to keep the flow alive. *sigh* or in this case to stop the flow. ha ha ha.

am going to go meditate on abundance thereby manifesting more of it in the form of clients and/or a movie for eric

enter the weekend

alas my lovelies i am freed up and able to navigate the sunny Seattle weekend. i have given up even trying to work today.

i think a rocky beach is an excellent place to begin an adventure.

what else is planned? ... laziness with possible bouts of productivity.

and you? what's in store for your 3 day weekend?

stop talking now

in my desperate attempts to launch myself into the social world i find myself today making comments on twitter. and all of a sudden i freeze. and wonder what teh f*ck have i just said. that was trite and stupid and then the self critical monsters begin again.

drawing the tarot card of the day explained it all...

it a knight of swords day.

the know-it-all pompous teen-aged dumb-ass who offers advice freely and without thought or concern.

you know the one who leaps in to conversations without knowing WTF you are all talking about and manages to make everyone wrong, or dumb, or roll their eyes and walk away.

damn. what a day to take a leap.

however it explains perfectly why i had the balls to leap in and respond... cause knight of swords is brash and rash and dones't care... until later... when he's wondering where everyone went.

i think i shall put on my grubbies and go dig in the garden.
there it is almost impossible to offend, mostly because the faeries that live in my garden are sassy and will have lots of "good" advice to throw right back at me.

there are monsters in my head

and they say mean things like:

• why are you doing that that way [sotto voce] moron
• so what if this week was a success look at next week [sotto voce] looser
• yeah, well let me tell you... [insert criticism and the RIGHT way to do it]
• so um when are you ever gonna get ahead? cause you've been like doing this for years. shouldn't you have figured it out yet?

so for all of my monsters i say I LOVE YOU! (only slightly forced but with real compassion and gratitude)
thank you for trying to keep me safe (and small and invisible.)

but really, you aren't helping anymore. so tell me what you need and let's make a deal. cause i want to make new friends and see new people and play more.

you can come to, but you have to learn some manners and start brushing your pointy teeths.

why did you become a massage therapist?

This was the question in a new forum I joined... Thought I would share the answer here as some of you might be interested

I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown, knew I wanted to help people and teach but felt ineffective in public school. So I spontaneously enrolled in massage school having never received any form of bodywork in my life.

From there I realized how much I could learn, and how many different paths I could follow and well here I am... a statistical anomaly. Most people leave this field within 5 years and I have been here 9 :D

For me Reflexology (and massage) are about connecting with this human shaped vessel we inhabit... learning to connect and utilize it more effectively, and learning to deeply love and respect it's amazingness.

anybody want to do some reviews?

i have listed (pimped) myself on google, yelp, insider pages and yahoo.

if you have time and want to help out a fellow human please go review my services. (only if you like me)

you have to have actually used my services, cause otherwise that would be silly.

you will of coarse get AMAZING karma points and much gratitude. (let me know you did it so i can send said Karma towards you)

there might be a prize in it for you. i will allow you to name what that surprise is and see if i can accommodate it. (brownies, muffins, or cup of tea are guaranteed to get a YES, other things are negotiable)

any other suggestions of where i can pimp myself out? any SEO guru's out there want to offer up suggestions?

my new superhero and her duck

go read this post now

please...

Havi and Selma are my new imaginary friends and superhero business models. They are imaginary, not because they don't exist, but because they don't know I exist. yet. but since I only live 3 hours north of her in Seattle maybe someday she will know of me too.


if you are lazy (or are saving your clicks) here are the basics:
So how am I supposed to work with my stuck if these methods aren’t going to (necessarily) do it for me?

There’s an element that all three of these traditional methodologies (and yes, I stereotyped like crazy because I’m a horrible person) are missing.

What they’re missing is kindness to yourself.

Destuckification is about the willingness to meet yourself where you are.

Even if where you are in that moment is not being able to get out of bed and do the thing already.

Even if where you are in that moment is not being able to sit with it.

Even if where you are in that moment is not being able to thank your pain for being there to teach you.

And if you can’t meet yourself where you are yet?

You recognize (or remind yourself) that this is okay too. That you’re practicing. That you are allowed to hate it. That you can take your time getting to the point where you’ll be able to implement some concept that you’ve learned.

drip, drip, drip

it's almost kayak season.

chaos and i are sitting up contemplating water and i realized i have to plan my annual kayak adventure or it may not get in the calendar.

this was taken last year on our south sound adventure.

chaos and i are pondering water because for the last week out water filter has been leaking under the sink. of coarse no one carries parts for water filters so we had to send away for an O-ring.

which takes at least a week to get to you for some dumb-ass reason. i suggest you all go order your back up O-ring right now.

problem with ours is that our water filter is a god forsaken million and a half years old contraption. (i think rich cave men used this version.) so the O-ring that finally came today. not fitting just right. a wee bit small. and therefore the drip drip dripping continues.

so the water stays off for the most part, which is fine but utterly annoying. and i find myself contemplating why anyone thought it was a good idea to bring water into the house. because when it works, it's a joy but when it has crapped out it's a bloody mess. (literally)

am deciding whether to live as is or find a person to install a new one, cause as handy as i am i ain't got no torch.

oh and the kicker to all this. it happens to be in the wealth corner of the house which makes me not want to leave it as is. i think the kitchen facet may have something to do with this whole mess, because we have been putting off installing a new one (it also leaks but only when it's on). my oh my! it is very hard not to just drop $400 and fix it all. alas choices must be made wisely, so will make a decision when not late at night. preferably when 7 new clients have booked so have the $ to pay for it all.

w00t!

i got an email that my tarot for business article has been accepted to the larger Biznik community and is being put up in the public forum!

yayayayayay! *does a little dance of success*

here's the link go read (and review please :D)

pictures of discovery bay

thought i would finally get a couple of pics up here to share...

this was my favorite little cove. i used to walk out to it almost every day. the sand is smooth there and once in a while a moon snail shell would wash up for me to find.

i have a confession to make.

for most of this trip i had no camera. i am so forgetful when it comes to those simple things. i will have clothes, pots and pans, tea and other non-essentials but somehow i always forget something to document my life with.

this second pic was a typical view from our front porch. only for the first 3 weeks of our month, there would often be a new dusting of snow on those hills. and a bit less sun, except in the early evenings.

a beautiful place. i miss the seagull sentry that would walk up and down the dock every morning, and the kingfishers hovering and diving.

everything seems simpler when you have large expanses of sand to explore.

coming soon!

an ebook on tarot! now you can learn tarot in the comfort of your own home.

with me! who is probably one of the most bizarre tarot readers out there. but i require you memorize nothing and still have amazing results. and i am really fun. and i make you do really fun things and possibly turn your world upside down, making you look at life in a whole new way.

the introduction to tarot will be an ebook, around 35 pages with lots of exercises and some audio tracts!

i am searching for a name for the book.... and an editor type person, and a layout person to make things pretty. does anyone know anyone who knows anyone else who does this? (i think i love that last sentence)

also coming soon is my new website! it should be up by the 15th and i am so excited! literally it is days and days of dancing in my seat thinking ahhh! this is gonna be great! pretty shiny new barefoot phoenix [*twirls*]
