Creative and performing artists have always masqueraded their real names. Lady Gaga, Mark Twain, Whoopi Goldberg, Elvis Costello and Judy Garland are all stand-ins for the real McCoys. Why would having a duplicate of one’s self make sense? If you…
Funny Lady
Joan Rivers once said, “Life is very tough. If you don’t laugh, it’s tough.” Many of us, including some of my psychic consultation clients, cling to our troubles instead of allowing life’s brighter moments to shine. Any negative vibe can…
As Seen in The Law of Attraction
“This house was used in the movie, Blade Runner,” a docent shared with the corporate department I managed, as we enjoyed a private dinner in Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, the Ennis House, in 2007. This wasn’t the first time I’d…
Blame Game
In the blame game, nobody’s a winner. There will be a victim and villain in a scenario with little chance of positive resolution. Many of us, including some of my psychic medium clients, have engaged in this routine. But, why?…

The Man From Kentucky
Draped from Louisville’s tallest buildings are multi-story banners paying tribute to some of Kentucky’s finest: Diane Sawyer, Pee Wee Reese, Muhammad Ali, among others. I’d like to propose that Edgar Cayce, a Bluegrass State-born farm boy who went on to become…
Random? Really?
Hearing the word random so many times this week was a sign for me to blog about its occasional bad rap. As defined in the dictionary, random refers to a “haphazard course” and “no definite direction.” To me, that sounds like hit or miss. Or,…
Little Red Wagon
It wasn’t until I was halfway through writing the first draft of the book I plan to publish, when its title, Little Red Wagon, magically appeared. A metaphor for holding childhood dreams and aspirations, its meaning has kept me on track during my memoir…
