In Like A Lion and out like a ....... lion?
I thought that ALL the kids on Idol were off last night. But that’s okay because Blaise won Top Chef All Stars and my Carla won FAN FAVE! HOOTIE HOO Carla, HOOTIE HOO! The woman who would tell her food how much she loved and thanked it before serving it to the judges. Now that’s MY kind of cooking! Cannot wait to meet her which I hope will be soon. She’s right outside of...
......And just deal with it!
If Blaise doesn’t win Top Chef All Stars tonight, well I’ll….I’ll….well, you know what I’ll do….I’ll put my big girl panties on and just deal with it…..and if Jacob ends up in the bottom this week because Ellen DeGeneres has some shifty things to say about him on Idol, well, I’ll….I’ll…I’ll…well,...
From Walking the Plank to Walking on Air... Your...

Take a break and watch! And speaking of friends, spent a good part of...
Unidenitified Flying Objects.....
I actually wasn’t going to post today because I’m headed out the door in three seconds and have been busy researching and writing April Shuistrology all day. For the record, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo all good to go. Each of those same signs also has some really spectacular energies occuring in April too….exciting, fabulous, spectacular energies! Now speaking of...
I Couldn't Make This Sweet Stuff Up....
You know, I get hundreds of emails every day. Some are short and to the point (AND the ones I answer, wink, wink) and some are long and sad and tell of some tragedy or another that someone needs help with. I wish I could respond to all of those, but, there’s just not enough hours in the day. But, then, to counterbalance all the ones asking me for information and advice, there come the...
ONE DOOR CLOSES....
Seventeen years ago I had my sixth miscarriage and was told that I probably wouldn’t ever have a kid. I had a dream. Fifteen years ago I gave birth to the most wonderful and beautiful boy in the entire world. Ten years ago my then almost twenty year marriage crumbled into a pile of smoke and mirrors leaving my toddler son and I on our own without two nickels to rub together. I was told...
GLOBE-L DOMINATION!
So, here’s the story in a nutshell. No, no, not the one where the Syracuse loss practically pushed me out of any Elite Eight brackets (c’mon Kansas and I’m still not speaking to you Pitt..we had you pegged as one of the final two….OY!) and, no, not the one about how I got a ridiculous bill from COX (yet again!) over the weekend that…after spending TWO HOURS (yet...
SPRING Into Action!
HAPPY NEW SEASON OF CELEBRATION, SEEDING and LIGHT! Cleanse your space today…literally and metaphysically. Incense, music, windows and doors open. Check your Feng Shui cures and update or REFRESH / RESURRECT your intentions, goals, hopes, wishes and dreams by revivifying those adjustments. Even I went out to my HELPFUL PEOPLE area yesterday and saw where my recent interior design...
Have A Super (Moon) Weekend....
BIG busy week and it’s still not coming to any end in sight, but, that won’t stop me from sharing some info about this weekend’s emotional Super (FULL) Moon with you. Okay, not enough time right now to go into the specifics of what a Super Moon actually is, but, the easiest way to explain is that once every twenty years the moon comes close enough to the earth for us to reach...
Getting Lucky on St. Paddy's Day....
I grew up hearing lots of Irish lore and legends from me da’s ‘off the boat’ ma, my great Granny Bridge (short for Brigit!) We visited my gran at her ethereal little cottage quite a bit when I was a young girl and she would let my sister and I help her in the kitchen as she cooked up and regaled us with stories about how she was a Druid priestess in another life and still...
I Am Turning Japanese....
First and foremost ….. WE (!!!!) can help with our thoughts and our prayers …. they REALLY do help! Affirm, affirm, affirm…….Japan is safe and sound and healing NOW…Japan is safe and sound and healing NOW…Japan is safe and sound and…oh, okay, you get it….SEND those vibes out now and keep it up until WE help to TURN this all around….

Hey, Look Me Over.....
I literally have to leave here in 15 minutes so here goes:
The Baby, um, I mean, The Bachelor is literally a bigger wuss than ANY man I know. Period. Good luck Emily and go ahead and straighten the Mommy Crown of the Year. I know, I know, passing judgement is TABOO around here, but….still….
Okay, as promised, first things first. Now, I will say that this next...
A Breath of fresh air during a weekend when wind...
So I saw my good friend Mary hanging out by her pool yesterday and decided to join her after making some major headway on some mid-month deadlines and getting the boys all straightened out in their afternoon activities. But once out of the shower I saw where the Fates and the (A)Muses had other plans. My dear friend, the esteemed artist Richmond Burton had called to say that he and another...
The LUCK of the Irish....
Once again I want to remind about something I wrote at the top of the year concerning this Chinese New Year of the Rabbit. One of the concepts that I wrote about then was the fact that this new year of the METAL rabbit made the occurrence of water imbalances pretty much a lock. When I was referring to those same water issues, concerns and agendas I was talking about them (as I talk about...
The Skin-ny on the Glow!
I’ve said it before and will say it again now, Jacob Lusk is the next AMERICAN IDOL, but, he doesn’t hold a candle to the mother who’s always lit on The Real Housewives of Miami, Marysol Patton’s mother Elsa! The show sucks but is worth watching just for a glimpse of this character alone! She looks like she’s not only drinking copious amounts of red wine...
And the Ty goes to......Raphael!
Cutting right to the chase and our Ty today as we send waves and waves of health and healing energies from our treasured community right to his precious being. Before you begin with the Prayer for Healing, let’s spend a couple of seconds embracing the Reiki symbol offered on this post and, then, if possible, send this same energy to Ty as well. In keeping with our own empowering...
Mirror, Mirror ..... and more the MOST beutiful...
Oh, did you see TOP CHEF last night? I know, I know, I’m the only one who watches that show because, well, they aren’t all WINNING WARLOCKS filled with dragon blood and doing a drug called ‘CHARLIE SHEEN!’ but, still, it was so uplifting, sentimental and soooooo about EXACTLY how I view food and while I’m writing this next book….anyway, the best part...
NEW MOON in PISCES...from our friend Kathy Rose
March’s New Moon Video
New Moon in Pisces
As I mention in the New Moon video, we are in a powerful transition time. A new phase in consciousness is trying to be born - and labor pains are intense right now. The result is turbulence, revolutions, protests and upheaval in many parts of the world. With some astrological planetary shifts coming up, I suspect we will continue to see...
GODDESS BEAUTY....Inside AND Out!
Today we’re going to take a look at how we can access our own goddess beauty and then bring it out for everyone else to ‘feel’ ….and….no…..I’m not talking about Charlie Sheen style goddesses, but, rather, tapping the energy inside each and every one of us…man, woman, child….that ‘says’ that every inch of our own beings are soooo...
In Like A Lion....Hear Me Roar!
I
Wha????? Wendy Williams on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and nobody told me? Wha???? And I told you that Brad ends up in the finale with Chantal and Emily a loooong time ago. He’s apparently engaged to Chantal (if she hasn’t read any of the texts he was sending his ex right before he went away to film the show) and that Emily becomes the next Bachelorette. Yawn, old...
