Social Distancing with Friends
So now the term social distancing has become not just a rule of how we engage in public spaces but also a way of interacting with others even close friends and family. So, I went to visit with my friend who I have not been able to connect with physically for months and while there her daughter called, and she explained she to her that she was social distancing with me. I mentally went Wow! I am socially distancing not visiting with, or hanging out with my friend, but social distancing with her. You almost have to say it out aloud to hear it for it to register in your mind. Yep! People this is where the pandemic has brought us and no matter how hard we try; we just cannot seem to wake up from the sci-fi end time thriller. It is not so hard now to imagine a world where intimate touching becomes outlawed. Before 2020 it would have been unimaginable, but it certainly is not that farfetched anymore.

Have You Experienced a Full Moon Gong Bath?
What’s a Full Moon Gong Bath? I had my first Full Moon Gong Bath last week. It was held at One Yoga Fitness by Jenny. What a wonderful experience it was. What’s a Full Moon Gong Bath you ask? Don’t worry, I didn’t know either, but just the name made me curious enough to explore what is involved. I once read somewhere that the full moon is a time of culmination and fruition, a time to let go and recharge. In other words, a time to release anything that holds us back and recalibrate. With all the chaos going on right now in the USA it seemed like a perfect time for me to engage in this relaxing ritual. There is never too much of connecting to our higher selves, therefore, I will partake in every opportunity available. So, there I was promptly at 7:00 p.m. ready for the new experience.

Tips for Staying Active During Coronavirus Outbreak
As self-quarantines, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders continue as coronavirus safety measures, millions of people are confined to their homes every single day. Being stuck at home is a huge change in routine, which can cause extra stress and concern in one’s life. Often, when stressed or worried, exercising is an excellent way to get some energy out and focus your mind on something else. Without fitness centers and gyms, it can be very challenging to remain physical activity and keep your body moving. Sedentary behavior and low levels of physical activity can have adverse effects on the health, well-being, and quality of life for many people. Quarantine, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders can also cause additional stress and add to mental health problems. Participating in physical activity as relaxation and stress-releasing technique can help protect your health in these uncertain times.

Personal symbols
In 2005 I was running a small fashion label and had my own creative studio in the city. I often felt tired around 11am and started taking small naps on this big green armchair that I had in the workshop for when I need to chill out. At first my naps would last about thirty minutes to an hour and by 2009 I was napping at 11am and often waking up at 5, 6 or 7pm in the evening wondering what the hell was happening. I felt so guilty about sleeping all day that I would take any stimulants I could get my hands on to try and stay awake and keep working at night.

It's Everywhere
This year. 2020. The year that the world started to see the things I always knew about, though this is far from over. This is the beginning of the great “awakening” aka apocalypse I have honestly talked about for over 20 years off and on. While the world goes insane, for a myriad of reasons, I sit back and often wonder if there is something I can do to help. To help others understand what is going on around them. Being a seer isn't easy, by far, but now it has gotten where it is a little dreadful to say anything about well, anything. I know what I “see”, I know what I feel, I just know what I know. I am willing to be more than proven wrong but if this year, thus far, has taught me anything... it is to trust myself, my instincts, my visions. In a world gone mad, I hold tight to my abilities that have always saved me.
