As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, I am moved to post. I realize that I have been dormant for quite sometime. All I can say is sometimes life requires us to be still.

Today, I'd like to speak on authenticity. There are people all around us daily that present a false persona to the world. They can be close to you and you may never know they true core self. I understand some people being quiet, shy or reserved with their trust, I'm the same, but blatantly fake in order to fool you for whatever motivations they may have. I have experienced people being false in order to steal ideas, to find out what I was doing and tell others, to feed their narcissism and take my money. These are only a few reasons I have personally had with fake people in my life. In my experiences with them, it has really made me question what is Authenticity to me and what does it mean to me? In reflection of Authenticity, I have decided I do not want to live my life as an imposter or be fake to anyone. Since 2014, I have committed to this 100% and attempt to be myself around people until they give me a reason not to. To prey upon people for their energy, love, money, talents, intellect or connections is truly despicable. If they break the law, I will report it. Also, I will share my experiences with anyone when asked. However, I cant stop fake people from their practices and it is not my role to change people's minds or convince others of their inauthentic nature. I invite you to reflect on Authenticity and what it means to you. How do you see the world? I typically see things positively and believe the best in people...even when they show me I cant. Sometimes, it's better to let go rather than be harmed by their behavior. This is my personal experience and am sharing in case someone feels alone or sad about the loss of someone close to them. It's so difficult, particularly during Holidays and Celebrations, to not be able to share with them in order to protect yourself and your wellbeing. So, if you are feeling sad about the loss of people close to you, you aren't alone and I send you love and comfort. If you feel moved, please share below and allow others to support you and offer comfort as well as their presence in showing you are not alone. Journal about the feelings you are having and release as much as you can. Make a list of people you are grateful for and why today. This way, you can see how the loss of one does not diminish you. Even if you have a small list, it is perfectly ok. You are loved and supported. The behavior of others is not a reflection of your worth or value, you decide that.

With the popularity of the Netflix series, Escaping Twin Flames I feel moved to speak on Twin Flames from my experience. Please know that NO ONE can confirm you are a Twin Flame, confirm who your Twin Flame is, or confirm your union. If someone tells you this, that is a red flag and proceed with caution. If you are directed or told to change any aspect of yourself and you do not feel it as authentic, to be in union with your twin...that is a red flag. There are a lot of scams and people who prey upon the confusion, disruption and discomfort that is felt when facing the possibility of a Twin Flame in your life. There are also so many different opinions on the "Rules" for Twin Flames. So, information varies when attempting to get answers and make people vulnerable in order to to get those answers. I am a Twin Flame and my journey has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least. I'm still learning and living this journey daily. I am here to listen and support anyone feeling lost or vulnerable. These connections are tough and can feel dark. I will be here with you and hold a flashlight.

Thank you for your ongoing patience as I adjust to some petty significant changes. With this moon, I am releasing unrealistic expectations put upon me by others. I am also reflecting deep within to purpose and passions. What can you release to gain deeper understanding of purpose and passions?

Change is up to you!
Have you been staying comfortable despite signs and urges to make some changes? This is your sign to step out of your comfort zone and make the changes necessary to bring you to happiness. Sometimes, we make our own happiness despite uncomfortable circumstances. Change is upon us and it has provided a path, it's up to you to accept it. Will you take this path?

May 30, 2023 - June 04, 2023
Fresh Start - Chapter One
Welcome to this week's reading Storm Bravers! Its all about New Beginnings.
#39 Creation
You are the architect of your life! Anything you can see...can be! You & the Divine are an unstoppable team for creation, imagination, and strategy! The question is...do you believe it? If you are feeling discouraged, take a step back. Reevaluate your wishes and see them from a different perspective. Then, take inspired action! Don't overthink the strategy and go simple if needed. If you have been putting something off this is the moment to act!
#2 Beginnings
We CREATE our own peace and joy. Sure, there are times when we find ourselves blissfully intoxicated on magical interventions of joy, but more often, we must create our own. Despite feelings of trouble or despair, hope and love are present. Reach for the love and joy in even the most mundane or routine of situations and your day will never feel empty. You are coming to life and opening up! Try a different approach for a different result!
#34 Extremes
Are things heating up for you? Are you uncomfortable and feeling shaken even in your core? Now is the time to act in a new way to reach for a new Extreme. Take a diplomatic approach and a more calculated one if you typically find you act in or with emotions. In the opposite EXTREME feel into your emotions if you usually are a strategic and calculated decision maker. A cool disposition in an uncomfortable circumstance can make all the difference.

Week of May 22 - May 28
Go Within, Conclusions & Rest
Welcome back Storm Bravers! This week's cards lend to loads of self reflection, rest and a conclusion...let's get into it.
11 Deep Quiet: Meditation & Stillness
You are being asked to go within. Not just on a superficial level either. This is a true invitation to explore the vastness and depth of yourself. An exploration of both light and dark, for you can not have one without the other. This is a call to slow down and acknowledge who you are at your very core. If this call is not answered, you may faced with forced rest. This is not a shutting down, but a stirring and awakening to a depth you have been working towards. The Crown Chakra is being activated and you are being asked to wait or pause before advancing. This is an embrace of stillness and meditation. To take a step back from the chaos and business of life to make a quiet and sacred space for yourself. Indulge in self care on a more profound level.
5 Closing Door: Completion
You have completed a cycle! You are learning that conclusions aren't necessarily endings, but alternate doors to new beginnings. You may have a situation, relationship, or drama coming to a close. There is no need to fear the conclusion. You may be having mixed feelings about the resolution. Both light and dark aspects will be felt, both relief and sorrow. Know that the Divine is always present. Reach for the joy and light that is felt, repeatedly if necessary, if you find yourself spinning on the negative or dark aspects of the conclusion. Embrace the DEEP QUIET and examine how you are feeling and why you may be feeling a certain way. Go deeper as you feel comfortable. Feel your feelings and emotions, but bring your awareness with you so you are wise with your feelings and expressions of them. If this closed door card is an answer to a request, see it as an opportunity to discover a different, more beneficial path. Re-evaluate your current inspired action plan and revise as needed.
63 Winter's Dream: Gestation Period
Gestation is the development of something over a period of time. If you had a closed door on a wish, how can you revise your development to birth it in a different way? We have two cards this week speaking of going deep within and stepping back from the hustle & bustle to get quiet with ourselves. Evaluate if you have been taking care of yourself in addition to your service to others. DEEP QUIET is about deep diving with Spirit and Shadow. This card is about self-care. What do you think of when you think of self-care? Self-Care is not all about Spa Days and Bubble Baths. That can be part of it if that is how you are able to calm your mind and pause to rest. However, WINTERS DREAM is a deeper level of self-care. Self-Care is also Meditation, Physical Activity & Movement. It's Intellectual Engagement and Spiritual Nourishment. What brings you peace, comfort and joy...do you even know? It's time to explore that. Use this week as an opportunity to discover what calms your soul and restores your life force on a deep level. you have been so hard at work and the conclusion is upon you. Hibernate this week, let go of all that is no longer serving you and explore your authenticity on a deeper plane.

Week of May 08-May 14, 2023
Welcome Storm Bravers! I hope you had an amazing Full Moon Weekend. We are now in the Waning Gibbous phase of our moon and with the waning cycle we are asked to release & surrender all to the Divine. Our reading this week 100% puts us in alignment with that.
#33 Blossoming
May 05 was the Flower Moon for 2023 so this card is highly appropriate! Are you able to hear your heart song we discussed in a recent reading? Are you seeing any results of your hard work in the waxing cycle? To blossom we are being asked to not only work very hard, but also see the value in rest. Release any doubts, fears, worries and any other feelings and let your soul guide you to what needs to go. This will open up more positive space and flood it with light. I always offer forgiveness during my Full Moon ritual, we are being asked to continue offering it to open us up and let love flood in the place of resentment. Don't give up on your intentions, but release to let them grow. Fears are always present, but its up to us to release them and let love flow.
#26 Surrender
Are we surprised by this card? Not really. We are consistency being asked to put aside our worries and trust at this time. Trust that the Universe has our backs. Trust that the Divine is ever present and supporting us on our journey. Surrender isn't giving up, it's a release to any attachment or forced control over what we want to happen and the outcome. Divine asks us to surrender to help facilitate our intentions. The Universe knows us best and could be trying to bring fruition to something, but is being blocked. Surrender helps to let Divine flow through our journey and work with us.
#21 Resilience
Take time to rest before resetting any intentions. You may be feeling like you made a mistake, but mistakes are simply fact finding and a method of gathering more information. As we reach toward our Higher Self we are bound to make a few. Release any guilt or shame regarding mistakes. Continue to work towards your goals and intentions, but gently at this time. Rest your body, mind, Spirit and emotions as you reach for your intentions in a more gentle way. Journaling, meditation and being in nature are all encouraged at this time. Our burdens are never empty, but rest helps us be resilient in order to continue carrying them with dignity and grace.

Wishing all of the Storm Bravers a belated, but blessed Beltane!
"Beltane is the Gaelic May Day festival. It is traditionally held on 1 May, or about midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice in the northern hemisphere."-Wikipedia It's a celebration of the return of the light to the earth. Its a celebration of rebirth, that honors the light side of the year, passion, love and new beginnings. The veil is very thin and ability to ask for favors from the Universe is enhanced. Some tell the story of the May Queen locked in her unending conflict with the Winter Queen. At this time they battle for supremacy, but the May Queen wins. However, she DOES yield at the festival of Samhain and the cycle begins again. How did you or will you celebrate Beltane?

Weekly Reading for: 01 May 2023-07 May 2023
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Virgo
Welcome back Storm Bravers! If you have had some set-backs or feelings of discouragement...you are not alone. This week's reading leans into Authenticity and Value among a community and peers. Are you an empathic "People Pleaser?" Read on...
#8 Community
Community is meant to be a place of connection and caring. This can be an inner circle of friends, the town in which you live or a specific group...like a yoga class. The sense of home is where & what you make it. We are social beings and need to feel as if we are useful to our families and communities. A sense of belonging, being seen & understood by others is something we seek regularly. Ask yourself what you would want others to recognize or be seen as giving as a contribution? There is a certain acceptance of flaws weather within yourself or communities. People all have flaws, but typically a community is a place with people that we consider safe. There is an element of kindness and grace to these places and people that make us feel comfortable to be and serve authentically. However, we cant be all things to all people. beware of compromising your authenticity, integrity and beliefs in order to belong. Don't dim your light because it is too bright for some others. Stay true to yourself and who you are in this world. Lend your own uniqueness and and spirit to improve the group dynamic, but don't sacrifice who you are to sit at the table. Own what you bring to the table, know its value and worth. If it is not recognized or is compromised...you shouldn't be sitting there and the group isn't for you.
#6 Not For You
Speaking of which... Believe me, the irony of how these cards came out this week was not lost on me... #6 Not For You. Sometimes what we want most is not for our highest good. This could be a relationship, friendship, family situation, etc that you have been investing time & energy in. Know your value & worth not only in your communities, but in this world. Know what you bring to the table before sitting down. People will treat you how you allow them to. You hold your fate in your own hands. You are not simply a pawn in another's game and when we feel our worth, we will not allow ourselves to be treated as such. If a community or person is causing concern, know you can withdraw your energy at anytime and place it in a more beneficial investment. I know it sounds fickle and fleeting, but you choose how long you want to continue in the dance with another or situation. As mentioned in recent, previous readings, beware of holding onto a plan because we want the control or we feel we can force a certain outcome. Don't chase what repeatedly eludes you, What's meant for you will find you. Trust that the Divine has something equally as good or better in store for us. With the guidance of the Divine, we can decide our own lives and our own fates.
#51 Milk & Honey
As mentioned, what is meant for us will find us. However, sometimes we have to get out of our own way to allow Divine to push it through. Sometimes we are so attached to an outcome or plan that it is difficult for us to let go of that and allow something...even something better...to come through. This is where consistent release to the Divine can be useful. We wish, we plan, we take inspired action, then we surrender the cause to the Divine for our wish (or something better) to make it's way to us. We never "finish" the journey. Well, unless we are exiting this life. Let's face it, we have a lot of obstacles and snakes in the grass along the path in our journey. So, that means that we make our own happiness along the way. The journey is the key, not the finish. That, in and of itself, can feel defeating. Many times, we can "tough it out" when we know that something is close to being ours. The issue is, we never know when that is. So, trust that your needs will be met. Keep wishing and drawing your desires down to you, don't chase them in the ether. Don't be defeated by obstacles, but instead use them as an opportunity to further your growth. If the "finish" comes at the end of this life, don't just survive this life until then! Live it, and live it well! You are loved and cared for. Practice it in return. Find your joy and happiness as you go along, not just when you arrive. The power lies in you. With the hard work you put in and the guidance of the Divine, you can achieve all of your goals and live the life you desire...not just survive it.

Hello Storm Bravers!
I have been very busy over the last couple of months working with Yasmin Boland to become a certified Moonologer. Moonlology is working with the magic of the lunar cycles to consciously create the life of your dreams. You may have noticed that the card readings for the recent New & Full Moons as of late have been rich with loads of information about manifesting your intentions. I have been very busy learning and growing in my knowledge of the Moon and how she works with the entire Zodiac to actively shine her magic on us daily. I'm very excited to utilize the moon as a cosmic timer to assist with manifestation. Paired with my readings, Moonology is a wonderful tool that I am excited to share. Stay tuned for more information on customized Moonology Readings. Regular card readings are still actively being offered by appointment.

What are some things you are grateful for, list them in the comments and let's celebrate them together!

Week of April 24-30 with Mercury in Retrograde until May 14 2023!
Welcome back Storm Bravers! Welcome to Mercury Retrograde. We entered on April 21 and will be here until May 14. Here is this week's reading as the moon waxes and builds once again.
#7 To The Sea
You may remember this card from the Aries New Moon reading on April 21. The message is consistent, but with a reminder to stay the course. You have all you need on board your vessel to navigate the choppy and uneven waters as well as the smooth ones to reach your destination. Keep your course steady and strong. Don't let disappointment or storms steer you too far of your course. Remember, storms will always arise, but its how you dance in its rain that matters. Also, the sun always returns. So, dance in the rain, ground your energy, call upon your team for assistance, then get back on track with your course when the sun returns and clears the clouds. Ride the waves as they come and stay in the flow. Remain in the present moment and meditate to keep your focus clear.
#44 Thinker
You have set a goal, intention, wishes...however you relate and prepared your path to achieving it. It's good to have an action plan to facilitate inspired actions, but don't hold too tightly to the plan. Release it to the Divine for its magical touch. Don't overthink your position. When doubt creeps in remember your sovereignty and that you are worthy of good and magical things. The doubts will try to throw you off course, but don't let it overtake you. As the Retrograde progresses, previous lessons or people may come back into your view. Don't overthink their arrival. Manage your communications carefully and proceed with re-engagement with caution. Instead, ask yourself what lessons may be surfacing for attention. Are you simply being reminded of how far you have come as assistance to overcome doubt? Ask your guides to show you what these reintroductions mean if you find yourself overly thoughtful on their arrival. Be thoughtful, but don't be lost in thought or a busy mind.
#3 Between Worlds
Use the waxing crecent moon as an opportunity to practice inspired visualization. How can you draw your wishes to you here in the 3D present form? Get creative. Meditate and use this time to commune with the Divine and High Self to be given new ideas or other methods to achieve your wishes. Walk with one foot in each world this week as the magical soul you are to draw in the best of each world. You are Divinity in the flesh.

New Moon In Aries With Solar Eclipse
#19 Flexible
As you set your intentions and utilize creative visualization Stay Flexible. Part of setting the intentions is releasing them to the Divine to assist you in the ex*****on of their fruition. Don't become attached to the plan you have set for obtaining your intentions.
#7 To The Sea
Stay in the flow and in the present. Do not be discouraged when you feel adrift and unable to see the shore. The Divine is a constant presence. Call upon the Divine in times of discouragement. Take time to cleanse yourself of old habits and negativity to raise your vibration and assist with manifestation.
#6 Not For You
Know your worth and that you are worthy of receiving your manifestations and intentions. If you keep meeting resistance, evaluate what the blockage may be and reasses. You may have to do some shadow work. If you keep being removed from a situation, but you insist on returning and there is no change...take this as your sign it's time to move on. Seek a new job, leave the toxic relationship...reexamine the situation and act.

Lead In...Aries New Moon & Eclipse
As we approach the New Moon tomorrow, take a moment to complete your forgiveness rituals and observations, then release with love to the Divine. Take some time to think about what wishes and intentions you would like to work on for the coming month and prepare to set them tomorrow. If you have access to your astrological Natal Chart, observe what house Aries occupies. Set at least one intention to work on in that house. My personal chart is a natural chart, meaning, Aries is my 1st house and that is the house of the self and how you present yourself to others. Your 1st house is always the sign that is your rising. So, I will be setting at least one intention and wish on how I present in the world. If Aries falls in your 7th house, which is the house of relationships, you might make an intention related to your romantic or business relationships. Tonight, clear...release and reset!
