I Wish I May, I Wish I Might - -
So, if you read my post from yesterday then you know that in the last few years I’ve had some pretty major projects both start and stall while one or two (or twenty!) of them completely went down in flames - but I just kept rising from those ashes and throwing more, well, ash, against the wall. Along the way though I walked my talk (even while hopping over some of those aforementioned hot...
I'm SOO Two-Faced!
This is a true story albeit an abbreviated one (I once had a journalism professor in college, Mr. Arthur Reil - ‘Artie to the rest of us behind his back - who sent a paper back to me that said, in part, “if you ever use the word “albeit” again, I won’t let you back in class.”) Albeit as it may ten-four and all that, as mentioned, this is a true story.
Three...
We're going fishing!
New Moon in Pisces on February 21 is conjuncting spiritual, intuitive and Pisces ruling planet Neptune! What does that all mean for you and for me? FINALLY some forward movement starting to push our trains down the right tracks. Although we still have to make it through March madness of tying up old loose ends in order to build our foundation to the future, this New Moon gives us a glimpse of...
Because I do give a 'Whit'ney!
Immediate disclaimer - these are only my beliefs - but they are based on eons and eons and EONS of ancient and modern metaphysical teachings. So, something’s gotta be true for this philosophy to have stood this true test of time. So, that said, here goes in a nutshell:
We get this life as a GIFT.
It’s a GIFT.
To be born on this planet to learn from this earth school. We are...
Some further Feng Shui 'Reflections' on LOVE!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Cupid might have his quiver and arrows but we have magic mirrors that those arrows don’t stand a chance against. I am referring to a cure that is believed to bring an explosion of energy to light up the end of the tunnel of love. On any of the three nights of any month’s full moon, leave a small hand-held mirror outside, reflective side facing up. It...
COMING SOON to a Valentine's Day near you -- The...
And the reviews keep rolling in. This last one comes courtesy a friend who doesn’t want her name mentioned but gave me permission to share her story anyway. See I wanted to ‘test’ the product on all different types of relationships; the friends who didn’t have one to the ones who were in, um, challenging ones. This next story falls into that last category. I have a...
My Heart Will Go On - -
Okay, so, continuing our exploration into where certain sectors specific Feng Shui Flying Stars flew into as the year turned, I thought it appropriate that today we look at something called the ROMANCE AND SCHOLASTIC star. Remember, I am not a Flying Star Feng Shui practitioner, but, there is enough merit to minding this business that I’m happy to pass along some enlightening...
Starlight, Star BRIGHT .....
This week we are going to explore some of the FLYING STAR Feng Shui accorded to this New Year 2012. As most of you know by now, I am NOT a Flying Star practitioner but always offer the yearly cures for those of you who are interested in this information. Most people who do follow the FLYING STARS and where they move from year to year will want to update their yearly Feng Shui in order to...
Message In A Bottle - -
We’ve been working very hard here to get the new POWER OF LOVE promotion ready for release in time for Valentine’s Day and will be talking more about that in days to come. For now, just know that I’ve taken a secret symbol for attracting true and lasting love (this symbol comes from the lost Books of Moses and has been secretly used in alchemical activities for eons to bring...
Right Back Atcha -- - !
You know, every time I post anything about how to deal with annoying, irritating, gossipy or even outright evil people, my email inbox gets flooded with terrifying tales of bullying bosses or nasty neighbors or people who just generally go bump in the night - and then steal a good night’s slumber from all the rest of us. You KNOW exactly who I’m talking about - and so do I.
In...
'Cause You Gotta Have Friends ---
Would you do me a personal favor? My good friend and radio host par excellence, Lisa Wexler, has asked if I would support her in her quest to be named BEST RADIO HOST in her local Westchester, New York market. I am a regular and recurrent guest on Lisa’s show will personally vouche for her acumen, skill, wit and depth of knowledge regarding current events. She is one of the best at what...

Be The Change - - -
Going to crib from my iVillage daily tips today while continuing to work on the brand new POWER OF LOVE product. I had the most remarkable testimonial yesterday from a family member who agreed to use it, under an odd set of circumstances, but I’ll tell you more about that when I have more time tomorrow. For today and in celebration of the man and his message, please see below my brief...
On the Fourth Day of New Year, My True Love Gave...
The fourth day of the Chinese New Year is a day to nourish and nurture our bodies, our minds AND our spirits as well as the kitchen gods who shower us with fulfillment. The kitchen, considered the Room of Abundance, will respond to your requests and your respect if you treat this space accordingly.
That’s a Chinese New Year recipe for success.
Here’s a Magically Delicious one:

It's Just A Game - -
All last week the boy and I kept discussing the coming weekend and what the/our schedule(s) looked like. I knew that I was engaging in an invitation only seminar on an ancient yogic way of breathing that brings fortune, luck, abundance, love and all sorts of good things on Friday while also trying to handle Saturday’s basketball schedule while also trying to clean the house before the...
You're Simply Irresistible -
The planets are conspiring to make this Friday something you’ll really TG for! Flirty and sexy Venus sextiles power-full Pluto while electric Uranus hangs out and then hooks up with the sizzling Sun! All of this swell celestial stuff makes you irresistible and HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE too! So, then, no better time to call on Archangel Chammuel to make your dreams come true!
From JoAnn...
COUNTDOWN to Chinese New Year - by your animal...
First the big blanket statement, if you don’t know your Chinese Zodiac animal, you can look that up on any search engine. Because of the different animals associated with different years I won’t / don’t have time to look anyone’s up - soooooooooooo - yeah.
And if you can’t find the images I’m about to suggest then please just go ahead and skip these cures. ...
Salt and Power!
Here’s this year’s BIG magic! Get ready for luck, fortune, empowerment and say buh bye to negative energies, bad juju and towing the hard road.
But first:
If applicable, dispose of last year’s Secret Salt Cure by putting EVERYTHING into a brown paper bag and throwing away OUTSIDE of the house. OUTSIDE of the house. OUTSIDE. THE. HOUSE. Everything. EVERYTHING.
Now,...
POP! goes the girlfriend!
My dear friend and partner in cri - um, I mean, writing, Lisa Richmon has once again inspired me to get up and get going on something that motivates and inspires me too. I’ve been watching her birth her ‘brand’ new business called POP (http://popinprint.com/) and I have found all of her creativity and energy to be so motivating that I simply cannot say. This was truly a...
Going Home....
Yesterday my son and I buried his dad who we both called ‘Pop.’
Pop had been declining rapidly in recent years from both a terminal heart ailment while also suffering the end stage of Parkinson’s Disease. He was living on borrowed time and is finally at peace. WE are finally at peace as well. We so sincerely appreciated all of the condolences and sympathies sent and...
A Story of Everlasting (and unfolding) Love!
I yield the floor today to my good friend, mentor and one of the best writer’s I know, Arielle Ford, so she can share a story of finding her true love and what she’s done since about keeping that love alive - healthy, happy, fulfilling and alive! But, one quick first - since we are talking excellent writers, I want you to be sure to stop back tomorrow when I introduce another...
New Year - Day Three....
If you want good news the whole year through, feed the birds, it’s good for you. ANYTIME during the first 15 days of the New Year - feed the birds. Feng Shui says to literally scatter birdseed up the front walkway all the way to the front door of your house. But for those who don’t live in spaces with front walkways, just make any effort to get to an open space and feed the birds,...
How do you FEEL about the New Year?
Here’s what I KNOW - it is simply impossible to make conscious efforts to FEEL positive, optimistic, motivated and inspired and have those efforts not reap rewards and tremendous results! Here we are embarking on a New Year and this would be as good a time as any for you to decide to CHOOSE how you will FEEL at any given time during any given day.
See, once you really get it - once you...
A New Year....
I chose not to post this on New Year’s Eve or even on New Year’s Day in honor of the beliefs that hold so dear. But now that the first day of 2012 is behind us and because there are friends and loved ones who are now posting this news on this page/blog as well as their own pages as well - I thought it appropriate that I share this sad news now.
My husband and my son’s father,...
HAPPY, FULFILLING, BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED 2012!

BRINGS LUCK TO THE HOME AND GOLD TO THE POCKET!
You must let them burn all the way down and do be sure to speak only of your fabulous future all day today! LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH! HAPPY EVERYTHING! XOXO

On the Eve of the Eve....
Getting all your ducks in a row should be the order of this day if you want to bring in all the fortune and luck this New Year can hold. And if you lived in Southeast Asia you’d be literally doing that exact thing right now. One of the New Year’s traditions indigenous to those people is to garner a great deal of fortune, luck and opportunity by releasing a bird or even a turtle...
Oh What A Beautiful Morning!
There’s an old axiom that says that if you stay pleasant until 10 o’clock in the morning, you will never have to worry about what happens the rest of the day. Coming into this next New Year 2012 I want to make a suggestion that one of your resolutions be an easy breezy but such a life-altering one that your head will - smile.
For the first 27 days of the year, let’s vow...
There's no place like OM for the holidays....
You know what they say — there’s no place like OM for the holidays! Ancient scriptures from Eastern cultures tell us that the ‘OM’ is the mother all languages and that repetition of the word enables us to maintain mental and emotional calmness, overcome all obstacles and facilitate deeper understanding of the circumstances and situations in our lives. OM is the...
It's a Holly and Holy, Jolly and Jupiter kind of...
A blessed and beautiful holiday to all of you from both of us! OR maybe I should say from all four of us because - oh, c’mon it IS me - you knew there’d be a Christmas story! So, last night my son and I decided to watch midnight Mass together and when the priest came to the part where he asks everyone to pray for their own departed loved ones, I turned to Grayson and said,...
And to ALL a GOOD Night!
If we have faith in Old Wives’ Tales then we might believe that eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away. But other lore says that eating one on Christmas Eve will allow you to harvest beautiful energies of peace, prosperity, love and light all throughout this next New Year! Tradition tells that eating an apple anytime after the sun sets on Christmas Eve will stem any ill will...
The Clause in tomorrow's New Moon ....
POWER-FULL New Moon tomorrow could put something happening on the world stage front and center in our psyches, even in front of that jolly old gent himself! Some say earthquake, some say let’s watch the Koreas, I say let’s ALL take a big breath and resolve let go of some sort of resentment that we’ve been individually holding on to so we can collectively heal as the...
'Tis the Solstice ....
I am burning my red solstice candle as I write and letting it send serious smoke signals on the solstice for light and love and all good things for each and every one of us. And I am still in that angel kind of mood - no, not the David Boreanaz kick the crap out of everyone kind - although……the one where we have the POWER - we have the CHOICE - we have the INCREDIBLE GIFT OF THE...
Fa, la, la, la, Lehahel!
I’m in an angel frame of mind today. Trying hard to slow down and connect with the sacred in this season and finding that challenging. Too many things to do and too many distractions too. Whirlwind. When I want gentle breeze. I KNOW you KNOW what I’m talking about. So was feeling all angel-y today. Decided to just leave it up to the Powers that Be to determine who the Angel of...
HAPPY Hanukkah filled with love and light!
From our house to yours - love, peace, prosperity and LIGHT! XOXE
Happy (and LUCKY!) New Year!
Those of you who have bought the new MAKE THIS YOUR LUCKY YEAR 2012 reports already have your secret Venus love and money activator for a special and specific time this next New Year. Either later or tomorrow I’m going to be back here to discuss what a Venus transit is and why we can make the predictions about love and money that we woo woo people do! Until then, this is a great weekend...

Okay, I have to crib from my own daily tip today because I have to go shopping! JUST KIDDING! I have to actually keep writing some of the periphery info for the MAKE THIS YOUR LUCKY YEAR 2012 reports that we are releasing on Thursday! I have to say that I am really excited about this year’s report because I truly spent a ton of time on them and think that they contain so much special...
WHAT IF ?????
What if I really did have a magical recipe for a money manifesting oil? What if I did know a special invocation/consecration that activates the wealth attracting oil? Here’s a smattering of current comments you might be interested in:
Hi Ellen, I received my oil yesterday.. When i grabbed the mail RIGHT next to the package of oil was a check for over $500 that i was not expecting to...
Letters of Recommendation
While all the kids are writing theirs to Santa, you might want to take advantage of ‘Write A Letter Day’ as well. Feng Shui says that you can address this letter to a being or a powerful presence that you believe in, and that you should also ask for a gift that you would like to see come present in your life. You’re highly encouraged to clearly and plainly spell out what...
"If you have FAITH as small as a mustard seed...
This ritual was passed to me by my Swami and teacher, the guru Ram Charon. He taught me this powerful, mystical and miraculous technique KNOWING that I would only use it with the best intent and for the highest and best good of all. Anyone who uses this magical mantra with any other intent will call down opposite energies so please do be sure that you are cleansed and clear before embarking...
Have to crib from my iVillage Daily Tip today because I am deeeeeep in the cave writing SHUISTROLOGY FOR THE YEAR AHEAD 2012. There are going to be so many interesting energies coming forth next year for all of us - but, if I had to share one theme I see running through EVERY sign, it’s the one associated with reinvention and re-creating our lives. Sort of makes sense right, since so...

Eat, Pray, WAIT.
TODAY was my follow-up appointment. I was scared. No other word. Scared says it all so well, so succinctly, so true. Scaredy pants might have said it better but it just doesn’t feel right since my bottom had nothing to do with anything. But my top sure did.
This Friday will be two weeks since my breast biopsy surgery.
As she’d predicted, I didn’t remember speaking to the...
The New Moon Eclipse - Better than the WISHBONE!
From everything I can see, tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse is an uber powerful one that offers a rare opportunity to bring our own intentions in 3-D. We’ve had ALOT of those opps lately so this is yet another in a string of stupendous days that will allow our hopes, wishes and dreams to come true. I am going to offer two other astrological interpretations of this New Moon below as...
Double your pleasure, double your fun!
Feng Shui says that having a decorative mirror hanging in the dining room literally ‘doubles’ your abundance. On Thanksgiving Day you can actually exponentially increase reasons to be grateful as well as increasing incidences of abundance simply by increasing what you’re reflecting on - of course I mean that literally and figuratively as well.
Let me explain.
Spending...
MUCH To Be So Thankful For! Especially on Turkey...
What will YOU be grateful for on Thanksgiving DAY? Let’s see ………
ARIES: You’ll be truly grateful IF you don’t try to do EVERYTHING and see EVERYONE on this one day. As the warrior of the zodiac usually you are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound while jumping right over the river and the woods as well. On this holiday though you will find far...
Over the River and Through the Woods....
I’ve HOPE that she won’t be SOLO on Thanksgiving but given the Kardashian backlash, Rob might just be mincemeat this week. We’ll see. What we’ll also see are tons of people having to spend this holiday alone. Whether because they’re working far from home or maybe don’t even have one anymore, this is a time to take in any friends of friends or family or...
Virtue-al Miracles!
Full Moon in Taurus today…..also sometimes called a ‘Manifesting Moon.’ An en-lightening invite to go outside tonight and greet generous, jubilant Jupiter to the left of the opportunistic orb and then declare your intention. Aloud. OR….you can say the prayer I’m including in today’s post (see below) shared by Joann Cornug in her Original Tribe; Handbook of...
MY HEROES!
Super Ty went for his second (and very critical!) MRI today and he is CANCER FREE! Ty is CANCER FREE! And EVERY ONE OF YOU helped our little hero heal. I am so humbled by ALL of you and so grateful to have you in my life.
Just think, this all started with me reading a heartbreaking story on AOL about what this poor mom and her family were going through struggling to keep their very, very,...
If I Were Kkkking of the Ffffffforest....
This is going to be short and sweet because at the moment I can’t completely fill you in. But here’s what I want to share with you, my beloveds, today. You know how much I love New Thought teacher Florence Scovel Shinn right? Well, Florence tells that everytime you become fearful of something….ANYTHING….you are creating an experience that won’t turn out well...
