First, your donation goes to help me feed and house my family. Studying, synthesizing and writing these insights is a lot of work. Developing workshops and elevating this vision is too. The time I spend building this business is time that would otherwise be spent on other forms of work.

Yes. If you are a Mr. Rabbit customer, I will gladly accept a gift card to the shop; this supports Julia and Bob, the owners. I’m also open to bartering services—especially if you would like a personal reading, to attend a workshop, or to create a gift for someone special. Cash is also welcome.

I find mindful meditation and breathing are practical ways to stay grounded and decrease anxiety. Practicing presence helps me avoid getting caught up in ruminations. It also helps me stay connected with what is happening right now. Because I’ve been a single parent since my kid was a toddler, so I’ve had to figure out how to weave mindfulness into my day in small spurts. Seeing how mindfulness meditation has changed my life, inspires me to share practical strategies with others. Sharing this wisdom casually has encouraged me to nurture a more structured endeavor.

Mindfulness works with our biology to help us reach a state of calm and awareness. It helps us pay attention to the present moment and prevents us from allowing our thoughts to carry us away—mindlessly. Mindfulness supports us in regulating our emotions and accepting what is. Once we let go of attachments and stop resisting, we open ourselves up to the gifts in front of us. By practicing mindfulness daily, we’re more prepared to effectively manage stressors when they challenge us.

We can use astrology as a tool for personal understanding and growth. From the perspective that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it follows that the movement of the planets in our solar system alters energy in our atmosphere. Working with the energy present can aid us in determining where we focus our personal growth, as well as in what areas of our lives or interactions to exercise caution. Understanding our own astrological charts also helps to prevent us from catastrophizing about our personal traits. We learn to work with them and with the energy present, as opposed to getting attached to perfectionism or trying to “solve” all our “problems.” We’re able to see the lessons and our growth. We can act from own inner authority.

I was obsessed with sun signs in high school, then graduated to doing basic birth charts as my college bar trick. I gave it up after one astrology book in particular influenced my decision to break up with the love of my life (not my best move). 

An intuit and synthesizer by nature, I remained connected to the healing arts and mindfulness meditation regardless. As an English Language Arts teacher, I used mindfulness, meditation, and yoga in the classroom. I have presented internationally on using mindfulness in the classroom, and refined my techniques attending conferences at Thanyapura in Phuket, Thailand.

In 2020, astrology re-entered my life through a live meditation with Jana Roemer on Insight Timer. This style complimented my meditation practice and was easy to integrate with mindfulness. Then, at the end of 2021, Briar Jacques handed me my complete natal chart. That ushered in a new era of seeing the self as a whole as opposed to unintegrated parts. Cue the revelations.
