I’m so glad we had this time together
I hope this letter finds you feeling yourself. As for me, just yesterday, I buried a decades-long relationship, an experience that was at once devastating and no great loss. It was the friendship equivalent of a withered old robber baron stealing shares of life via black market organ transplants – obstinate, abiding, arguably inspirational on… Continue reading I’m so glad we had this time together
Hi(ss).
During winter 2004ish, I found myself in temporary possession of a complete (at the time) Harry Potter boxed set, and I exploited its brief displacement by big brain mashing my way from the top of Sorcerer’s Stone through the end of Order of the Phoenix over a weekend. It was fun. I mostly like(d) the story. And I have… Continue reading Hi(ss).
Nah.
If you’d asked 2017 Ilka – even as she was realizing in real time that she’d been consorting with the muddiest of pastel people – #liveandlearn – if she could envision firing a client, she’d’ve scoffed at you, determined as she was that none of the people attracted to her practice would ever behave in… Continue reading Nah.
Heatwave Shade
This is a story of a (different) terrible past boss whose inflicted harm I’d mistakenly thought I’d fully healed but whose recent uninvited and energetically invasive return inspired the following purge. One time, a variety of existential plot twists positioned me as the part-time office manager for a woman we’ll call Leeann O’Flanagan. We were a poor fit.… Continue reading Heatwave Shade
June Musin’
Y’all, I had a TIME writing this here missive, which is a conclusion you may’ve already reached given that we’re halfway done with June and this is just now gracing your eyeballs. Been on the move, yo. Spirit husslin’ (that’s a codeswitch, not a typo. R.I.P Nip.) ain’t for the faint. Kitten would very much like a 90m massage.… Continue reading June Musin’
F*ck the Joneses – keep up with yourself
A few years ago, when I was making my bones as a professional wizard at a clairvoyant wellness center that had a company culture most favorably described as “chirpy”, my colleagues trended, amongst themselves, these pendants imbued with the energy of a Brazilian diety channeled by a “globally renowned faith healer” who goes by a name that rhymes with Don of Fraud. Everybody in the office bought themselves a pendant except me.… Continue reading F*ck the Joneses – keep up with yourself
Shadow’s Out
A post-birthday shenanigans/weather transition sniffle tried it with me on the same weekend Jordan Peele’s movie Us* was released and the whole thing turned out great. [Context: I’m historically unsuccessful at gently hosting colds, I get grumpy and hypochondriacal, so my workaround is to see how quickly I can heal. This amounts to halting any non-essential events… Continue reading Shadow’s Out
Hello. I love you. And your psychic parts, too.
I was on with a member of the T.I.P crew recently, expressing my opinions and bewilderment (pouting, essentially) about why energetic beings having a human experience continue to agree on this gnarly hallucination of a timeline wherein, among MYRIAD outrages, not nearly enough of us are accessing our intuitive abilities. (I was also grumping about how I still can’t move things with my mind unless under great duress, but that’s a story… Continue reading Hello. I love you. And your psychic parts, too.
Retrogrowth
A few gentle evergreen retrograde suggestions: 1. Drink water. Perhaps infuse it with fruits-n-such. Consider practicing gratitude for your easy access to it.2. Stretch your body/mind/spirit. Meditation can be as simple as allowing a change in perception.3. Release one thing (minimum) you’ve outgrown. It can be (in)tangible: an object, a habit, or a person. Make space for new. That’s it. You’ve probably got… Continue reading Retrogrowth
