Dear Intuitive Soul,

August's New Moon is in Leo and your oracle card inspiration this month is Sexy Sunflower. The excerpt below is from my Lefty Oracle Guidebook and soon-to-be published deck.

Year of the Sexy Sunflower: Get ready for a year of SHINE. It’s your time. Time you stood in the spotlight and acknowledged your truth and all you’ve done so far with your life. Be subtle or showy; what’s your style? Push yourself now to really put yourself out there in a BIG way. Let us all know about the best parts of you. What are your gifts and your greatest strengths? What adversity have you overcome? How many people or plants or animals have you helped? What do you love about yourself? Start with this and expand out. Make us care. Shine, sexy sunflower, shine bright!

In my own life at present I do my best to share my work and life online and I make sure that when I do I’m in a positive state of mind and post with love in my heart. If I post when upset, negative or depressed that energy leaks out into the world and returns to me magnified which helps no one.

NEW SITE LAUNCH! 
I've spent the last several months creating and honing my brand new website and it's ready to be unveiled now that Mercury is direct and Mars is direct and out of it's station...perfect timing! Enjoy!

Past Life Reading Sample : With client permission I've just posted this recent Past Life Reading along with a testimonial. The price for these readings will be going up in the fall.
