Smudging The Blues Away
Last updated on: February 7, 2018 at 8:11 am By Kristy Robinett
If you are feeling down or just off, you might want to smudge. Burning white sage helps to clear your space of all negativity and negative energies. Smudge sticks are used in traditional Native American ceremonies to purify people and places. There are similar ceremonies in many cultures where herbs are burned for cleansing. Smudging can be used to counteract depression, anger or bitterness, and it’s great to do when you are having some winter blues. Smudging with sage (I... Read more

Feel The Feelings You Feel
Last updated on: February 6, 2018 at 7:11 am By Kristy Robinett
Born a glass half full girl in a family of glass half empty wasn’t easy. I’d put my faith in people, and quickly forgive those who let me down in the hopes that it would be different. It never was. My mom would hug me as I shed a lot of tears of disappointment, but her advice was met with cynicism and harshness. “People suck, even the ones who pretend to be friends or who share your blood. Protect your... Read more

Will Your Blue Moon Turn Into Groundhog Day?
Last updated on: January 26, 2018 at 6:46 am By Kristy Robinett
Unless you are 150 years old (and I’m going with none of my readers are), then you’ve never seen this January 31st moon. It’s being called super, blue, and blood, and this is all completely real. Super means that this moon will be closer to Earth in its orbit an 14% brighter than normal. This is also the third “supermoon” in a trilogy of supermoons that began on Dec. 3, 2017. Blue doesn’t make it colored blue, but that it is the second... Read more

Blue Moon Intuition
Last updated on: January 26, 2018 at 6:47 am By Kristy Robinett
We all have intuition, but sometimes we don’t hear the whispers. During this Full Moon phase ask your guides and angels what you need to know. Take a couple deep breaths, put your hand on your heart, and choose a card. . . Which card did you choose? If you chose Card #1 – Eternal Dance: “Movement, Wheel of Life, Path of least resistance.” “The Lady featured on this card feels completely at one with nature. She is in tune... Read more

We all have intuition, but we often miss the whispers. Put your hand on your heart, close your eyes, take some deep breathes, and ask your guides what you need to know. So which card feels right? . , , If you chose #1 – Think About It – This card asks you to step back from your current path or thought process and review the situation you’re asking about. There’s an unseen aspect, and the angels guide you to slow... Read more

Embrace Your Inner Magic
Last updated on: January 23, 2018 at 7:23 pm By Kristy Robinett
The energy has certainly been draining for many lately and with the upcoming “blue” moon, many are feeling exhausted, ill, tired, and moody? The energy is continuing to make many extra sassy and wear shades of rude. If you feel like you have a target on your back it’s time to take back the power, embrace your own inner gangster, that inner magic, and vibrate higher. Spending your time and energy spouting hate and negativity lowers your vibration and is... Read more

Mist and Fury New Moon
Last updated on: January 13, 2018 at 6:44 pm By Kristy Robinett
Tuesday, January 16th we welcome the first New Moon of 2018 in the astrological sign of Capricorn and you may notice a deep sense of sadness and lack energy.

Inhale – Exhale
Last updated on: January 11, 2018 at 2:50 pm By Kristy Robinett
On Tuesday afternoon I sat in my physician’s office with her yelling at me because my blood pressure was high (ironic, right?), followed by a strict lecture that I needed to exercise more. “You’re a writer,” she huffed. “You can make whatever schedule you want, and work whenever you want to. No excuses.” Previous to that appointment I had an appointment with law enforcement regarding a horrific murder, which could explain the blood pressure but anytime I tried to defend... Read more
