"Today, we see Tarot as a sort of path, a way to personal growth through understanding of ourselves and life." Rachael Pollack 

The 78 cards that make the Tarot come with many stories of magic & mystery. Like the fact the deck is numerological set at 7. The 78th card represents us as the '0' Fool, a new beginning & way is set before us. Like the seasons, months of the the year & zodiac cycle,…

 August wraps up with many of us going through some Sh*t because we are about to be thrown off with Mercury Retrograde starting on Wednesday, 8/31/16.

What this means in real world is things are about to go back in time to pull out stuff within you that has been lingering. Anything that needs to be cleared, healed or gone for good is…

How Meeting Elizabeth Gilbert Changed My Life (Eat, Pray, Love & Beyond!)

by Tonya Melendez

“There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in.”

― Elizabeth Gilbert

The "Eat, Pray, Love" story continues now as Elizabeth Gilbert and her beloved, "Felipe" are no more. The news of the split reminded me of the evolution she wrote about in the book, how she shifted, healed and learned to love again. Energy is always moving, like magic. We…

Who are YOU? Not you who is male or female, Latin or European, dark or light, daughter or son, but the you who is your Spiritual self, your "Is-ness".

You are the dreamer, the lover, the healer, the silly happy one, the visionary, and the mystic each is within us all.…

Did you know cancer is on the increase among 30-45 year olds? This increase in cancer related deaths is because our minds are creating at a faster rate, the new normal is multi-tasking and after years of addiction to pain our bodies are breaking down faster than ever. Did you know in the time it takes to check your status update you can increase your emotional, mental and even physical…

Who am I? Why am I here? – Your passion & purpose

When we start asking questions we know we are ready to shift, heal, and rearrange the life we have been living.  Something within us stirs from deep, dark places and we recognize the need the change. This seeking is your Spirit pushing you into a new unexplored direction. Feeling lost, stuck, and afraid is…

Life can take many turns and twists yet when we are on the path to going where we belong with those who love and support us the pathway to getting go(o)d is the best part. We get to explore, release, heal, and transform our little self to our Higher Self.

It takes a deep awareness and understanding of faith and how fear tries to stop us. It starts with a belief in the self and its connection to our inner wisdom which allows us to rely on faith. Being willing and aware of fear allows…

Many seekers and followers of the spiritual path often end up asking questions and/or wondering what is the cause of their pain and suffering. Looking for the cause is where the pain needs to be embraced, released, and processed. How we get through the process is where the seeker has to do the work. The pain and hurt needs to be addressed by no longer allowing it to be swept under the rug and ignored but faced head on.…

I am afraid to think, my thoughts turn into stories.

I will write about you or

the slow Asian lady, who wouldn't look me in the eyes, as she did my nails or

the man who shamelessly stared at me until I got off the bus.

My mind a recorder

of sunny days, lonely nights,

deep silence and noisy neighbors.

Never knowing how these thoughts, images and ideas

will shape shift into words on the page.

Ideas of drinking during the day

to stop the…

The flow of life arousing from within as a eruption of new

beginning.

An ecstasy ready

for the challenges of shape shifting.

A blessed event when eyes fully awaken

to see beyond the veil

to grow into a glow.

This flow bursts

forth out of

my heart.

Healed.

Passionate.

Fiery.

Ravenous.

Blessed

and

grateful.

I have gotten where I am

by…

Beyond this world exists another.

A spirit world

free of pain, fear, worry,…

Our eyes touched and connected our souls to the remembering of who we are.



 I rediscovered my place in the world is next to you.

I am pressed

against the truth, 

discovering more 

of who I am,

freeing myself 

of the shackles, 

put on 

by some imaginary 

prison guard.



I am liberated, loved, 

and singing songs 

of freedom…

 What is to come from the imaginations and dreams within.

Love that shifts into control.

Freedom which turns into bondage.…

“There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

Nelson Mandela

We all begin our spiritual journey from a place of deeper wanting, understanding & healing. We pray, we cry, we ask questions, we want solutions to variety of our issues yet we forget what got us to the place of wanting & needing and how long it took to get here.

Conscious…

Lovers may leave,

time may change, wounds will hurt

yet love is continual.

Surrender to it flow,

Its weight, its shape,

It sweetness, its glow,

Its wisdom, its pain.

Its relentless, tireless and optimistic space

That is the very center of YOU.

Let the beating of your heart fuel your feet and body to move continually forward, seeking more in the world.

In people, in art, in every sense of your…

I am a Gypsy.
