Readings, Cards, Tea Leaves & Connecting you with Other Realms since 2001
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
Don’t let the worries control you, don’t let them in and don’t let them win. Grasp onto your faith (in God, Goddess, The Universe, Buddha, The Stars, Yourself) with both hands and rise above before the quicksand of anxiety can suck you in.
I remember it so clearly, it was summer – July to be exact – the evening sky was just starting to show off its brilliant finale of the day with bursts of colours as the sun set below the mountains.
My phone rang as I was driving away from the hospital, it was Gramma, just calling to say goodnight after a long day of tests, visitors and uncertainty.
“Hi Honey!” she would begin almost every conversation with those words.
I mentioned the sunset and how I wished she could see its beauty and she said I would just have to witness this one for her until she got out of there.
This woman single handedly taught me to notice the small (and large) beauties in everyday moments – the chickadees as they fluttered around playfully, the remnants of robins nests and robins blue egg shells, the moment the snow started to dust the mountains surrounding us and the sunrises and sunsets over those same mountains.
She taught me to read tea leaves and to believe in myself; and to know that I was loved and loveable throughout the ups and downs of life…
And then slowly after we lost her I lost myself.
As I was scrolling through photos I took trying to choose the perfect one for a post I realized that I capture an absurd amount of sunsets.
**Pausing to wait for the tears to stop flowing**
She never made it out of the hospital to see another sunset, and it just dawned on me that I haven’t stopped capturing them since she passed.
Maybe it’s subconscious, a way to keep her memory alive.
Maybe it’s my way of keeping a promise I didn’t even know I was still keeping.
Maybe they’re signs from her – to make sure I notice the beauty even when life becomes a struggle, or darkness threatens to snuff out the light.
Maybe, it’s all of those things.
The people we love don’t disappear.
They remain in the moments that catch us off guard; their scent that suddenly fills the air, their favourite song playing at the exact right moment. Their love that reaches us through the realms that separate us.
And sometimes…
In breathtaking sunrises & sunsets that stop us in our tracks, make us look up and remember.

Birds are often seen as messengers symbolically in many different beliefs and throughout history. The crow is one of those birds that is associated with delivering important news or messages from the spirit realm.
When this specific crow arrived in my tree and seemingly peered into my soul I sensed this was not just one of the regular visits from our local corvid community; this feathered courier came bearing a message from the spirit realm.
I’ll be frank; hearing and sharing messages clearly from the spirit realm for other people is my jam, hearing messages for myself? Not so much. While I didn’t understand at the time, it took less than two months from this photo to begin to suspect what the message was.
My Dad never missed my birthday; despite how strained our relationship was at times, whether it was a message or a call (depending on how friendly we were feeling towards each other at the time), he would always let me know he loved me. But that year he missed it; and he missed my sisters too (same birthday, same Dad, different year, different Mom). When we tracked him down at the hospital I knew I couldn’t brush this off with a promise I’d visit him soon. I went right away.
There he was, lying in a hospital bed, frantically needing a cigarette and a vodka and beginning to worry this wasn’t going to be a short stay.
He was almost inconsolable, speaking of things I didn’t understand – at least not at the time. At one point he gazed off in the distance – at nothing but a hospital wall – yet I know he was seeing something. As I was getting ready to leave, I had actually already walked away, he called me back ‘I can see the crow. Can you?’ I tilted my head, attention captured – to anyone else this may have been gibberish, but I felt there was much more to this than his delirium. He looked as though he was listening to something ‘I can hear the crow too, can you?’ I replied that I couldn’t and he said eventually I would know what the meaning of this was.
Fast forward to July and the crows began to gather in my front yard, in the trees surrounding my balcony, on top of my balcony – all watching me. And then the call came, he wasn’t doing well, he wasn’t eating and although there was hope he would pull through, I knew it was his time to go. When I arrived home that evening two crows were waiting for me at my front door. And the next day as I arrived home from spending the day with him, death rattling his bones and lungs, with barely any moment of lucidity there were more crows than I could count sitting on my fence, at my front door waiting for me.
He came to my dreams that night … to let me know it was time for him to go.
And the next morning as I burst out of my front door, tears in my eyes and ache in my heart at the phone call from my sister letting me know he was gone, there was a symphony, a cacophony of caws as crows filled the sky.
He was right; eventually and unfortunately I finally understood what he had sensed, saw, in the hospital that evening in February…
The messages came through so strongly and clearly I was certain the person sending them wasn’t on the other side, but up until this point in my career as a psychic-intuitive-medium, I had only ever been presented with the idea that we, as mediums, channelled the spirits of those who had crossed over from this life to the after-life.
I can still clearly picture the scene; twinkle lights lit up the room, the candles were flickering, the tea leaves were settling and the messages began flowing. My client said she absolutely resonated with the messages but they were all pointing to being from her father; who was ill, but still very much alive. He had ALS, and had lost his ability to communicate through usual means but apparently his soul and spirit were very much able and wanting to be heard.
That afternoon I threw any previously limiting concept out the window when it came to mediumship and all that it entailed; in fact I made a point of not allowing other’s experiences and beliefs to limit or cloud my own going forward.
I began channeling messages for clients whose loved ones were still alive but unable to communicate in their current state of health and mind; dementia, alzheimers, ALS, and other afflictions that so cruely took their minds, thoughts, and physical capabilities from them were not able to drown out their spirit, their soul and their higher selves from coming through and sharing much needed confirmations, comfort, and offering closure.
Life is magical, beyond explanation in so many ways…and sometimes its heartbreakingly beautiful. I often left those sessions in tears myself at the opportunity to be a part of a love that spanned human constricts, defied what I knew to be possible as a medium and brought comfort to the clients who entrusted me with those very personal and private moments.
I spent the last moments of Uranus in Taurus reflecting upon the past 7 years of my life and I can tell you with certainty it looks nothing like when it began in 2018. There have been many losses, changes with plenty of good memories & moments mixed in…and I am thankful for them all.
Remember: We came to this life, in this realm, at this time for a purpose and a reason. We came from ascension and we will return to that place in due time, but the heaviness and the hardness, the ups and the downs, the challenges and the joys…the weight of this 3d world is intentional on our behalf. It is what we planned when we chose to live another life in this world.
All of that ⬆️ means we are alive, living and flowing through this thing called life.
And she sure can be a beautiful one if we remember to shift our focus from one of lack to one of gratitude.

I am fairly certain you’ve at least heard this term mentioned even if you don’t know much about Mercury Retrograde – the last decade it has picked up momentum all over Social Media – and not necessarily with accurate information.
Now for clarity, I am not an astrologer, nor am I going to try to take this post down the path of full blown astrology, but beyond the hashtag hype there actually is truth to this, and it goes far beyond the newspaper horoscopes that come to mind when we think of astrology and can touch our lives in a very real way.
For clarity, we are in the full swing of a current cycle now so you may be experiencing some of this yourself, as you read.
Every planet goes retrograde at some point in time – smaller planets such as Mercury will retrograde multiple times a year, the larger the planet the less often it retrogrades with some planets only retrograding one time (or less) per year. When a planet turns retrograde it appears to slow down and move backwards in our sky; it doesn’t actually, but nonetheless it affects our lives in a multitude of ways.
Mercury is a planet that represents communication, technology and travel, so when it goes retrograde it affects these areas of our lives the most.
There are four main phases of a retrograde process:
The best way I have found to explain this process is to imagine this planet is going on vacation; the pre-shadow phase is similar to when we are preparing to leave for vacation; it is usually a flurry of activity trying to get everything prepared, your bags packed, making sure you haven’t forgotten something – think of the movie Home Alone – when the family wakes up late and is rushing around panicked trying to make it to the airport on time. This is the pre-shadow phase to a T. I find it to be one of the most difficult and easy to recognize of the phases.
When it actually turns retrograde the planet has made it to its vacation destination and is relaxed, not checking emails, not really available and distant. You’ll find that life slows down, communication becomes sporadic and misunderstandings often run rampant, your technology may or may not work and when it does you’ll find delays. Remember, the planet is essentially on vacation so whatever it is repsonsible for; in this case communication, travel and technology, are receiving an out of office reply from Mercury.
When the planet stations direct it has officially stopped the retrograde process and will be returning to the regularly scheduled program. This is akin to arriving home from vacation and the post-shadow phase is when the planet is starting to get back to normal, beginning to ‘unpack’ from vacation…these phases can be a little frustrating and annoying; similar to when you return from vacation; you have bags to unpack, laundry to do, emails to check, mail to catch up on…things may be a little rushed, frustrating and you’re likely wishing you were back on that beach soaking in the sun rather than reading through a dozen unnecessary emails. Right?
Retrogrades aren’t something to fear, but it’s important and helpful to be prepared and understand WHY you may have been feeling a little more irritated over the past two weeks, or having things slowing down, printers not working, emails not going through…things not working the way they usually do.
It is definitely an overplayed theme on Social Media in my opinion, but that doesn’t make it any less true or mean that it doesn’t affect us; I can assure you it certainly does.
I tend to lose track of time; I especially find that I don’t realize when we are nearing certain moon phases or astrological events such as retrograde – and then hitches & glitches begin to happen and something clicks; ‘ohhhh wait. It is Mercury Retrograde happening again already?!’ Every. Single. Time. I have wondered this to myself, it has turned out to be true.
Think back and ask yourself if you’ve you been feeling extra irritated? Been experiencing delays or communication and technology break downs since February 11, 2026
Let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like to hear a message and insight from Spirit about this current phase we are in.
As always, bright wishes,

You want to book a reading, and I want to read for you; but is it the right time?
We often seek guidance while in the midst of a storm in our lives, and rightfully so. It’s the most important time to receive guidance of course! Or…is it?
In actuality the best time – in mine, and Spirits opinion, is before you face any storm at all. Receiving a heads up of what may be coming your way can help to not only prepare you, but can also help you to make different decisions, take a different, less windy course to reach your destination or prevent certain lessons all together.
Destiny plays a huge factor in each and every one of our lives, to different extents, as does freewill. How they appear in your life versus someone else’s will vary but both belief systems are ever present in our day to day lives. Believe it or not.
While we are battling the storms in our lives our perspective changes from proactive steps to reactive steps; and our choices are likely limited to what and how we can handle what we are currently growing through.
Think of soil; you can toss seeds in a bucket of dirt and hope for the best, or you can prepare your soil to best receive the seeds you wish to plant and arrange ideal conditions for what you want to grow; not every seed will sprout with either option but the prep work definitely gives you better odds.
Life is similar to the above example, and viewing regular reading sessions as preventative maintenance of your soul and life path is more ideal than trying to fix something after the fact.
Knowledge is power, and insight offers both knowledge and foresight for your life.
