In April, I tried an experiment. I took time off. REAL time off.
That means: no tarot, no email readings. NOTHING.
And I liked it.
I’m a workaholic. I love love love my work so it’s easy to for me to lose myself in twelve hour days. Not kidding you. Twelve fricking hours. So that time off? I got a little itchy at first but once I settled in, I relished that “not doing” time. I unwound. And when I came home, I was ready to hit it, hard.
That time off sent a message home to me: you need to create some serious relaxation time in your world, buck-o. So I started taking Sundays off. No more tarot work one day a week? Power walks and lunch dates and long cooking days followed by Game of Thrones? YES.
And now here I am again…taking another week off. No work. Not a tarot reading in sight. A message on my purchase page letting my clients know that I’ve “gone fishing” (along with my imminent return date for those who must know).
Yes, I did nothing again. And I am liking it. A lot.
I might do nothing more often.
A good reminder.

This breaks my heart: love-struck man scammed out of $700,000 by a psychic con artist. It’s this kind of crap that gives my industry a bad name! Note to consumers: if anyone tells you that you have a curse on you and they can fix it for X amount of dollars, RUN. No reputable psychic or sacred artist would EVER do this.
I am a Gemini and like most born under the sign of the twins, we always want to find our missing twins. This site helps you find your doppelgänger.
