When my daughter learned that Tenderloin Touch® was the name I had chosen for my massage therapy practice, she said, “It sounds like the name of a butcher’s shop.” And I suppose it does to someone who doesn’t know the story behind it. But before I explain, I must first tell you how a San…

CONFIRMATION BIAS VERSUS DENIAL
The times when I was so sure I was right only to discover I wasn’t, are what have made me repeatedly err on the side where caution is thrown to the wind. Many times I have talked myself out of knowing what I know by reminding myself of all the instances in which I was…
SUDDEN REALIZATIONS LIKE I THINK I HAVE A THIRD NOSTRIL
It was six days between the last entry and the one before that. In between those writings, we experienced a partial lunar eclipse. And during that time, I just couldn’t write. So, I spent more time cleaning out the over-filled garage But let me back up to a few months prior. In May, I had…
IDENTITY CRISIS: THE CRAZY LADY
Other people taught me that my experiences and perspectives are not normal and therefore neither believable nor valid. For me, to not be believed, is so painful. To be thought of as a crazy person who cannot help but to lie, was at one point, intolerable for me. Let me give you an example. My…
IDENTITY CRISIS: THE DRUG ADDICT
My mother is seventy-six years old and she’s never tried alcohol or drugs, ever. I haven’t asked my father about his teenage years. But either way, us kids grew up in a sober household. So when I got fired, I had never tried anything except tobacco and only once. I smoked a cigar at age…
CHIRON AT 28°
Connie Jo, an astrologist with Soul Navigation, whose video I have posted below, says the degree of Chiron within the natal chart, often reveals when the wound started or manifested. My Chiron sits at twenty-eight degrees. In my case, the degree matches the age at which a significant event occurred. This was one in which…
CHIRON IN THE SECOND HOUSE
The house in which my natal Aries Chiron resides, reveals in what area I am most affected by my identity being called into question as a result of feeling disempowered. My wound is in the second house. And the second house, says Meredith from Soul Navigation, is about “physical resources (including) cold hard cash.” I was…
BLACK SHEEP OR LONE BLACK WOLF?
In the early morning hours of March 15th, I awakened from a very vivid dream about snakes. After I fell asleep again, I immediately had another dream in which I found myself in my current home at the landing of the stairs which is directly in line with the front door which just happened to…
IDENTITY CRISIS: THE LONE WOLF
I left off talking about my Chiron in Aries and how my past life was filled with aloneness and independence both of which are consistent with Aries energy. In my past life, as Jessie, my 7th house Chiron wound caused me to move towards the opposite energy which was that of the 1st house. And…
CHIRON IN ARIES, A WOUND OF THE LONE WOLF
Again, I return to Robert Green’s book, The 48 Laws of Power. Green teaches us about Law #18. In excerpts, he says, “Do not build fortresses to protect yourself. Isolation is dangerous. The world is dangerous and enemies are everywhere. Everyone has to protect themselves. A fortresses seems the safest but isolation exposes you to more…
