It’s been six months since I lost my beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Murphy. The devastating fog is lifting, but the sadness lingers. I’ve received many wonderful stories from people who’ve been touched by my family’s journey through grief as recounted in my e-book, My Dog Is Dying: The Real Life Crappy Choice Diary. Somehow […]

How To Be a Watermelon Intuitive
Relaxing is one of the best ways to tap your intuition. No pressure, no anxiety, nothing but a bit of time to play. Sounds like August, right? So try this. Get a watermelon. Yes, a watermelon. Take it outside and explore it: look, touch, smell, taste, thump it (hear it). Get messy with watermelon: experience it […]
Why You Need to Tap Your Intuition
Helping people tap into their own plain, ordinary, everyday intuitive awareness is central to my work: how to live graceful, vibrant, successful lives by tapping our intuition. I teach this by jumping right into what some people call the woo-wooey: yep, when I teach my classes or work privately, we have goddesses and guides, deceased […]

Connecting to Other: Meeting Fallon
When people come to meet me and Fallon, they want to know what he is. Fair enough. Fallon is a Citrine Lemurian Quartz. He’s ancient: I remember carving him out of the crystal caves at his direction thousands of years ago. We worked together for lifetimes, got separated, and were finally reunited in 2009. Woo-wooey […]
My Dog Is Dying: The Real Life Crappy Choice Diary, Entry 20
Landmark days—those days that hold special meaning in our lives—are times to stop and celebrate and remember. They are the days that build families and communities—in multi-species families, they include adoption days, birthdays, breakthroughs, and deaths. I remember the day I figured out what the book about my life with Murphy was all about. I […]
My Dog Is Dying: The Real Life Crappy Choice Diary, Entry 17
Where does choice take us when we live multi-species family lives? When I learned my beloved dog, Murphy, most likely had splenic cancer, I knew that our long journey together was ending. You don’t beat splenic cancer, you just delay the inevitable, and not usually for very long. The problem is, when you find it early, […]
My Dog Is Dying: The Real Life Crappy Choice Diary, Entry 16
How do we walk that last mystery of life with our beloved animal companions? How does the human-animal bond end? I write this as our mystery is over: I lost my dying dog, my beloved Murphy, on March 8, 2012. I continue with our diary because her life ran out before our story did, and […]
How Fallon and I Meet the World
Being out in the world with a crystal ball is fascinating. My partner, Fallon, is a Citrine Lemurian Quartz, a rare planetary and dimensional energy. What does that mean? I’m discovering that every day. Fallon is a healer, an advisor, a warm, compassionate being. He’s not human. He’s a crystal, which means he has eons […]
The Alchemy West Committee at Work
There is a thing called the Alchemy West Committee. It is a real group, a business and life group, and not what you’d generally expect in either—because it includes me (a human), my animal family, two volcanoes, a beach, our condo, our car, my crystal partner Fallon, all my crystal friends, guides, and, well, all […]
