Woosh! The sound of my email being sent felt especially gratifying! I had finally finished my article, Step Into Your Light with The Dark Goddesses, and it was off for publication in Aspire Magazine’s October issue. Time for some well deserved rest and relaxation....

“It’s a beautiful night and I’m stuck inside with writers block!”, I said in a huff of frustration. I’d been staring at the fragments of paragraphs, the single line ideas, the random thoughts from which I needed to pull great wisdom in a matter of hours and nothing!...

30 years. Can it really be 30 years? l think to myself. October 2021, October 1991. “Yes, it’s 30 years”, I said aloud after running the math in my head again for the millionth time. Before graduate school, before banking, before buying a house, before so many things,...

“Seriously, Crystal!”, I yelled through the Bluetooth while smacking the car steering wheel. “This has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever suggested!” “I wouldn’t go that far, Kathleen. I’m really enjoying my first trip to the East End.” “Thanks, Wonder Twin!...

The older I get the more surprised I am at how fast time moves. To me it seems like New Year’s Eve was only a few weeks ago! How did summer arrive so quickly? I find myself wondering this each year. How is it that my birthday is approaching and with it the...

One of the most common questions I hear from clients and tarot students is,“How can I make the most of the year ahead?” My favorite way, is to complete a full 12 month reading but for many new clients and tarot students this is “too much information”! To avoid this...

It is New Year’s Eve and this year we stand at The Door of The Decade of Possibility. I entered 2010 exhausted from a cluster of persistent and mysterious physical ailments. I leave 2019 not only healthier but pretty much free of all symptoms. Magic, maybe a little...

“Why did I do this? Why’d I even bother?”, I thought to myself as I stood before my under decorated holiday tree. “I should never have opened the box! I have no time for this! It was bad enough that my car was dying, wouldn’t pass inspection and I had to buy a new car...

“Unbelievable! Halloween’s barely over and holiday trees are up everywhere!”, I muttered to myself, shaking my head as I walked into the store. “Why am I surprised?”, I think to myself. “They were probably on display two weeks ago, I just wasn’t out shopping.” The...

“The air is so cold”, I think to myself. The sunlight is dimming over the homes in my neighborhood, the sky has already changed to winter light, and a firm breeze wafts over me blowing my hair awry and stirring up the red and gold autumn leaves that have fallen due to...

“It’s OK, Little Tree! Don’t worry, you’ll be OK! You need the rain!”, I cried from my office window. I was deeply concerned about Little Tree. She had been planted in the hole left by the landscapers when they mercilessly chopped down my beloved eleven year old birch...

“Oh, I’m so confused.”, I sighed “I don’t like this model. I’m not crazy about these features.” Five automobile websites and still nothing that makes my heart sing. I thought I wanted an SUV since I miss having a truck, but I really do love having a car. This is such...

Speaking is a verb. So many of us never think about it. It’s just something we do. Nothing special about it. Speaking isn’t like running or jumping. Speaking doesn’t require physical exertion. Therein lies the myth. We do not think of speaking as a verb in terms of...

“What a beautiful spring day in NYC!”, I think to myself. “The sun is shining, it’s 60 degrees and I am blessed to be experiencing hanami, the Japanese custom of cherry blossom viewing.” I love the Sakura (cherry blossom) tree. It’s strength and beauty, the...

I know this sounds obvious but again it’s something we rarely think about. Resting your voice. Finding the natural break or “nap time” for your voice during the day is of utmost importance. Studies show that 48% of teachers report vocal strain year after year. Most of...

The voice loves moisture! It loves humidifiers, warm steam, gargling and drinking lots of water. Conversely, it dislikes anything that has a drying effect such as hot air in the house during winter and dry air in hotels. It dislikes dryness so much that the body...

I stood in my living room overcome with angst at the prospect of spring cleaning. “Oh my! The house is in such disarray because I’ve been so busy with Voice Painting™ Class! Where do I start?!?”, I wondered. I really wanted to give up before I began. “March...

A few weeks ago I was lucky to beat out the deep freeze and make a trip to NYC to see Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. In the show, Carole’s songwriting agent tells her she’s a success because she’s a girl and she writes girl songs. While this is true, I believe...

“What more can I do?”, I thought to myself. “I’ve put all of these great resources out into the world for FREE and still women are being undermined by The Sexy Voice Hoax!” (sigh) “Sitting here staring at my computer isn’t going to do any good. I need to go for a...

Temps are falling and snow is here yet underneath lie the first stirrings of spring. February 2nd marks the Celtic festival of Imbolc, commonly pronounced “eem-bulk”, traditionally a time to honor the Goddess Brigid. While many in America say, “Brid-gid”, the...

Your voice is an offering, a sacred offering. Have you ever thought about it? It’s crossed my mind a lot lately. Perhaps it’s because many feel compelled to speak, yet are afraid to do so. Still others are even more afraid to sing. Fear of imperfection was sited by...
