Put Your Phone Down, And Start Living!
I was blessed to be born before the arrival of the Internet and smart phone technology.
It was a time when kids were playing outside all day, and we often did not want to go home, because we were having too much fun.
It was also a time when people still connected with each other in person, and on a deeper level. It was a time when we lived life in a much simpler way.
Since then the rise of digital technology, smart phones and social media seemed like it happened overnight, and everyone was instantly hooked, including myself!
It was exciting, because information was now ‘just a tap away.’ Communication was faster and easier, and you could ‘connect’ with just about anyone, anywhere, anytime.
But then social media and smart phones came along, and before we realized what hit us, it began to gradually cripple our ability to focus, to truly connect, to be present in the moment, and to be in touch with our spiritual nature.
To make matters worse, we started comparing our lives to others: friends, enemies and idols… only to diminish our sense of self-worth.
Last weekend, I was playing the board game Monopoly with my teenage son and his best friend. His friend seemed unable to put his phone down and pay attention to the game. I asked him why, and he said it was because he was addicted to knowing what others were doing, and that he didn’t want to feel “left out.”
When To Act On A Fantasy, And When To Let It Go!
How many thoughts do we have per day? Nobody seems to know for sure and the experts don’t agree, but they all seem to concur that it is ranges somewhere in the thousands. We also have many daydreams and fantasies that cross our minds on a daily basis.
Many of these thoughts and daydreams we would never share with our mates, friends, or family.
Many of us never act on our fantasies, for various obvious reasons: we want to stay married, or we want to stay in the same job, or we fear failure should we attempt something new and different. Some of us may even fear that we could end up behind bars in extreme cases.
There is a considerable difference between reality and fantasy. It is true that sometimes our fantasies should be left in our minds, unspoken or not acted upon.
Most of us are very grounded and would never act on most of the ‘mini movies’ that we let roll in the back of our mind.
Watching the news there are many people that do extremely horrible things and can’t control their desire to act out their evil thoughts. We see many divorces, and more and more single people, because many just can’t stay committed to one person.
But we can also take our imagination and fantasies to a positive place when it comes to getting healthy, starting a new job, trying a new hobby. It all starts with a thought and it is up to us to act on it, and be proactive. Continue reading
Everyone Is An Artist
Art is a powerful form of self-expression. It allows us to communicate complex emotions and spiritual concepts through various mediums such as the visual and fine arts, music, dance, acting, creative writing, and so on.
When we are being creative we connect with the subconscious part of ourselves. This can be a powerfully healing experience to help us process and integrate our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and life experiences on a deep level.
When we are children, we don’t have any preconceived ideas about art. If you observe young children, you’ll see this very clearly. They don’t worry about how ‘good’ an artist they are. Most kids just see art as a form of play. They love to draw, or paint, or color, and are typically pretty thrilled with their creations.
So, what happens along the way that we become so self-conscious about our artistic endeavors? It seems to me that at some point most people have had ‘the artist’ within subtly discouraged or silenced. Whatever the case may be,suffice it to say that life takes over at some point and being creative artistically takes a back seat.
“I was never very good at it anyway,” or “I just did it for fun,” are common remarks I’ve heard from people. But what’s wrong with not being very good at something? Especially if it’s fun? Moreover, the benefits of spending time being creative are vast! Art Therapy is growing in popularity and more studies are being done around this modality. Continue reading
Calming The Stormy Waters Of Your Inner Child
I walk on the beach daily, near my home. In fact, I often walk multiple times a day. This is my meditative and contemplative time, to reflect and see what areas in my life I can improve or change, what areas are working well, and what shifts are going on.
In the morning, the water can be as smooth as glass. This represents true peace, clarity and reflection.
In the afternoon, the water can have three-foot to ten-foot waves, and the beach space that was so abundant in the morning, is gone. This represents the turmoil that is happening in my life and on our planet, or just what comes and goes in the daily news.
In the evening, the water settles down. It’s not quite as glass-like as in the morning, however it has a small and calming wave. This represents all the cleansing that happened during the day and the cleansing that is to happen through the night, bringing me full circle to another calm again in the morning.
This daily spiritual practice brings me a sense of awe in how the water and nature can take something so beautiful and at times turn it into something so destructive and ugly. It is so close to human nature!
When we are born, each one of us is a beautiful soul. No matter how we were conceived, or how we came to be, we are born an innocent being and all we seek initially is the love of a parent, and to then continue to be loved as we grow in our life.
No Message From The Other Side?
Why don’t I receive any contact from my loved one on the other side? This is a frequently asked question which often comes my way.
I don’t always have an answer, but often the truth is that the questioner is either anxious, or wanting it so much that they are blocking the reason for their question.
Sometimes people will say they’ve begged the deceased to give them evidence of their survival, and to just let them know that they are happy and healed from any emotional or physical trauma they knew on this side of the veil.
At times, the messages from their loved ones, given to the messenger such as myself, are undeniable proof of their existence after death. These evidential messages can be very detailed, and yet some receivers still tend to doubt.
The most convincing messages spirit can deliver, I feel, are those of a humorous nature, which can be fairly personal at times.
Such was the case of a lady I read for recently whose husband died at a young age in a car accident. Apparently he used to have a problem with zippers in his trousers, and I was able to describe the antics connected to this humorous issue. She laughed and cried, because it was not only true, but it wasn’t something she had ever discussed with anybody else.
Astrology Forecast April 13 -19, 2026
The week begins with a soft, dreamlike shift as the Moon moves into Pisces in the early morning, inviting you to slow down and tune into your inner world.
This is not a day for rushing or forcing outcomes. Instead, you are being guided to flow, feel, and trust what arises naturally.
In the morning, Moon in Pisces Semi Sextile Neptune in Aries creates a subtle but powerful spiritual current. Your intuition is heightened, and you may find yourself sensing things before they happen or feeling deeply connected to others’ emotions.
This is an ideal time for reflection, meditation, or simply allowing yourself to drift into creative or imaginative spaces. However, because Neptune can blur boundaries, stay mindful of wishful thinking or over-idealizing situations.
Shortly after, Moon in Pisces Semi Sextile Mars in Aries adds a gentle push to act on your feelings. This is not aggressive energy, but rather a quiet courage that encourages you to follow your heart. If something has been calling to you emotionally, this is the moment to take a small, inspired step forward.
By the afternoon, the energy becomes more harmonious and creatively fulfilling. Moon in Pisces Quintile Venus in Taurus enhances your appreciation for beauty, comfort, and emotional connection. You may feel drawn to music, art, nature, or simply spending time with someone who brings you peace. There is a sweetness here that supports both self-love and meaningful interactions.
Trusting The Process Of Authentic Psychic Prediction
In today’s fast-paced, convenience-driven world, psychic predictions are often met with impatience, a desire for instant validation and quick, easy answers.
From a spiritual perspective, however, it is wise to accept psychic predictions as they are given in a reading with a reputable psychic, medium, or intuitive, and then allow the predicted outcomes to unfold in their own time according to the divine plan.
Rather than expecting instant gratification, it is wise to focus on instead on your energetic alignment, spiritual growth and the karmic lessons to be learned along the way, while you wait for the predictions to unfold as they must.
Every psychic prediction has its divine moment to shine. Our destiny unfolds in divine order, according to divine timing. Every event, even the seemingly insignificant, happens when it is meant to happen, in the way it is meant to happen, and always for our highest good.
Patiently trusting that psychic predictions must unfold in their own time and way is a profound step toward personal empowerment and spiritual growth. It is an invaluable karmic lesson.
Our lives are governed by metaphysical laws and a higher power or universal intelligence. Every event, encounter, and circumstance in our lives happens for a reason and at exactly the right time for our personal growth and spiritual evolution. Each event and circumstance is part of the intricate tapestry of our lives, woven by the cosmic forces and universal laws that shape our existence.
