My cosmic bounty continued tonight, as I cashed in my Christmas gift from my oldest friend, a personalized astrological reading with Ophira Edut of the Astro Twins! It's pretty extraordinary what someone can tell you the first time you meet, about your most closely held thoughts, just based on your birth date, time and location. Ophira had some extremely helpful advice about recognizing certain patterns that will keep emerging in relationships until I make a conscious decision to transform those dynamics. She also suggested I visit an ashram, and I was like, sister, I am all over it. I used to see my desire to hang out by myself in the woods for a couple weeks per year as potentially conflicting with my job, but now I understand that my particular brand of hypercreativity is made possible by those periods of reflection and renewal. The most striking moment for me personally came when Ophira asked me what I would be doing if money were no object, and I said what I always say when someone asks me where I want to be in five years... riding a bicycle around the South of France. Obviously. Well, maybe you should do that, she sagely replied.
I absolutely love, LOVE your site and it has become my secret viewing pleasure at work.
I wish I could come over to the Reading Retreat in the summer as this would be my idea of heaven on earth but I'll be stuck in Blighty...

Thank you Anita! Your kind words make my day. And I'd love to be stuck in Blighty sometime. Keep wishing, though, that's when all the good stuff starts happening.
