I love when people, especially those critical of the psychic arts, ask me why I charge for readings. I’ve even been told, “If it’s a gift from God, it should be free.” That’s a cute, although unrealistic, idea. Even people with “gifts from God” (which by the way, is everyone)…
Yesterday I gave four hours of my time to a local kitchen that serves the needy and homeless. During that time, I found myself standing at a counter, de-boning pieces of previously-cooked chicken (these kitchens know that NO FOOD SHOULD GO TO WASTE), preparing enormous cuts of donated corned beef, and…
I was listening to the Beastie Boys today, pondering the life of Adam Yauch. He was a Catholic/Jew, turned Tibetan Buddhist. I have his Rolling Stone magazine cover framed on my wall just above the famous Gandhi quote about being the change you wish to see in the world. Today’s…
