Journaling prompt: Take a day off from your duties and the world wide web and just relax. Notice how it feels to unplug. Do you enjoy the quiet – or does it get you antsy? Journal about your experience.
Blessings,
Theresa

I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture + reality TV. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
