Entangled Minds
Ever on a quest for understanding, I find myself delving into the depths of quantum theory. I know I am not the only one who finds this stuff interesting, but perhaps I find it interesting for different reasons than most. In Barnes and Noble the other day, I stumbled upon...

I’ve been having so much fun meeting with Lisa and asking her questions about life beyond and my intention was to use the material for a fictional book I have been working on for a while now. But in the last three days, after telling the story about how...

fire-spirits-dancing-free When I got an email from psychic Lisa telling me that she had moved to Vashon Island permanently, I couldn’t help but write her back with a crazy idea I had for the novel that I have been working on, written from the perspective of a guy in...

Slowing reemerging from my nether world and just have to give you the PS on that. Turns out Lisa, (Thanksgiving psychic) has her very own beloved pedigreed German Shepherd. Of course she does. I have landed on my ass in the (supposedly) real world, smack dab in the land of...

There is much we don’t know, yet sense. Another universe perhaps, an alternate existence. “You are a healer,” she tells me, “Your ultimate goal in life is to embrace your divine feminine, and help others to do the same.” Today was my first reading with Joann, a psychic/medium/astrologer based...

Arron used to have this thing about Entropy. In the film that his friend Rob made from Arron’s stag, the one that was played at his memorial service, he tells his friends, “Entropy is all there is.” I honestly don’t know what the hell Entropy is other than a...

Learning to live again after the sudden death of my husband Arron on 9/11. I live with my two children, Carter, 11 and Olivia 15. I have written my book, The Alchemy of Loss, as a testament to finding the silver lining of grief
