So this is what happiness feels like...

I've been doing a lot of spiritual work lately. Dreamwork, intuitive readings, animal medicine, reiki, the Healing Codes. And I have a sense of mission and purpose and connectedness that is wonderfully new. Perhaps I'd lost sight of purpose? Was a little bored?

But I feel more connected to all that is and more aware that I'm here for a reason and that all of heaven would like to connect me with my life mission.

So I have lots of fun and exciting moments when I'm analyzing a dream or doing a reading for myself. And rewarding moments when I'm doing distant healing with my clients. Lovely breaks in the routine when I'm reading a book, watching a movie with my son, singing with him at the top of our lungs to a song on the radio as we're driving. Laughing with my partner over something one of us has said, looking ahead to when she'll be here for a visit or here for good.

And then, there are moments when I am inhaling pollen or so tired I can barely focus on the TV. Or putting on moisturizer. Or chewing an antacid. Slicing the boiled eggs and adding a little salt and pepper.

It was during one of those moments this afternoon when I stopped for a second and asked myself, "Is this happiness?" When people say they are happy can it include boring moments? Having an unresolved illness? Occasional exhaustion? Is my life similar to the lives of those people who pause and smile and say, "I'm happy!"?

I believe it is!

Do you feel lucky? A St.Pat's "Tuesday Two"


It's St.Patrick's Day today and my son and I have been celebrating...


It all started with green eggs and bacon. We've also been listening to Irish musicians, drawing rainbows and telling leprechaun stories.


Here are the Tuesday Two for anyone who wants to play...


1) I am very lucky because ...


2) If I found a magic 4-leaf clover ...


And here are some tunes for inspiration...






Oh, you want to know my answers?


I am very lucky because...


I am married to the love of my life, I have a family I love, I know how to heal when I need it, I have a rich spiritual connection and faith that makes me feel surrounded by love and support, I have a cherished group of friends and a life mission I'm honored to live out each day to the best of my ability.


If I found a magic 4-leaf clover...


I would ask for 4 wishes, one for each clover


1) I would wish to be wealthy for the rest of a very long


2) I would wish to be healthy for the rest of a very long life


3) I would wish for every living being to be healed of all its wounds and be made whole (yes, this is "world peace" said differently)


4) I would wish for infinite wishes to be used whenever I needed them
