Drowning in Information Starving for Wisdom

I read the above quote on Facebook the other day, which is kind of ironic. As Facebook is based on an endless ream of information presented in user-friendly bites. Whilst wisdom tends to be found in books, in D & M sessions with intimates, through meditation or when immersing oneself in nature.

The Tarot of Grace and Frankie

My latest television obsession is a Netflix program called ‘Grace and Frankie’.

I don’t know why I enjoy this show so much. I’m not really a series kind-of girl. I prefer my television short and sharp, like mini-series or movies. In a long-term drama character development can often stop making sense in an effort to maintain the excitement.

The media. Their own expectations of what’s right.

So what could possibly be good about having a selfish mom? Continue reading

The Tarot of Education

We all have to get one. An education, that is. Once upon a time children in the western world were sent down the mines or stayed home to look after the babies or left to work in grand houses at a tender age. But fortunately for us, those times have long gone. We have  more possibilities than that. We have the opportunity to change our lives for the better through study and hard work.

So which Tarot card would represent ‘getting an education’?

Probably this one… Continue reading
