“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl Dear Universe, Halfway through March, already? I wish I could say I have made progress these last couple of weeks, that I have gotten into a productive routine, but I’m still not back where I’d like to be. Well, maybe there is one nugget of progress? About a …
Fairy Festivities
Dear Universe, This weekend I attended a birthday party for my best friend’s daughter. I found myself feeling as I usually do when I go to one of my friend’s parties: in awe. My best friend is a woman of many talents. One of them is party planner extraordinaire. I’ve never seen a celebration she’s planned that isn’t creative, fun …
Desperate Times…
Dear Universe, Today I was reminded of a time not too long ago when I was desperate to change the negative energy around me, desperate for a reprieve from the overwhelming stresses I was dealing with. I was doing all I could to stay positive, keep my head up and all that, but it wasn’t making much of a difference. …
Cuppa Tea

It’s Time…
Dear Universe, Well, I did it again. While I was in New York City over the long weekend I had the opportunity to meet with a spiritual reader and what can I say? I went for it. I’m so glad I did. The reader was kind-hearted while cutting to the chase—just my style—and throughout the hour-long experience I was stunned …
Feeling Lucky
“If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.” ~Maya Angelou Dear Universe, I’ve been thinking about luck lately. It started over a chat where someone was professing how unlucky she is: with romance, at work and in everyday, ordinary circumstances. As she continued ticking off a litany of misfortunes to me, I encouraged her to …
Spread Love
Dear Universe, Well, it’s that one day of the year that people either love or hate. I get it. The lonely feel lonelier. The betrothed feel even more beloved than usual…usually. I hadn’t given much thought to today, until yesterday. I ordered a grande mocha from Starbucks and when I went to throw out the cup I stopped. Starbucks had …
