Katherine was recently diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart walls begin to harden. While her vets remain hopeful that it may not progress beyond a murmur, it’s still difficult news to process. For now, I’m focusing on keeping her comfortable and cherishing each day we have together. This journey has reminded me how much your support means, and how deeply grateful I am to not be walking it alone.

When I bring a new tarot or oracle deck into my practice, I have a ritual to get to know it properly. From slowly flipping through the cards and noting which ones call to me, to reading the guidebook, cleansing the deck, and even doing an “interview” spread, each step helps me understand the deck’s energy and how it communicates. This process not only deepens my connection but also ensures I’m working with decks that truly resonate with me.
