Each year at this time I share Jan Richardson's poem, "Blessing for the Longest Night." It honors the darkness that draws around us at this time of year and honors the Light that is always present, even if we cannot see it. 

On my website, you'll find details about the Holiday Sale that runs through 1/6 and offers 20% off private sessions and gift certificates. You'll see upcoming classes, too, including the Level 1 Online Psychic Development Intensive that begins 1/8. 

Wishing you a peaceful, joyful holiday season and a bright, abundant New Year! Thank you for your presence and your Light in the world. 

With love,

Karen

So much has changed since I last reached out to you. 

My partner of 38 years, Kathy Henry, passed in February after a 17-month battle with a rare and aggressive cancer. Our boys and I are heartbroken, and yet we feel her with us all the time. We are finding new rhythms in our lives together, and I've been surprised by how often our tears of grief can change to smiles and laughter.

This year holds many difficult "firsts" as we adjust to Kathy's physical absence. It's also brought an outpouring of wonderful, supportive messages of kindness and prayer from so many of you. Thank you for reaching out in love. Saying thank you doesn't adequately express my love and gratitude for your presence on this path. I often say this is how the good people take over the world. We support and love each other through difficult times, and that generates Light. 

Whatever you are going through right now ... good times, sad times, lean times, abundant times ... please remember that you are not alone. May you find peace and support in knowing that you are dearly loved. I see your Light.

In October, my wife Kathy was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. When we got the news … it felt like all the lights went out. 

Kathy is now going through treatment, and we are glad to have a team of allopathic and naturopathic oncologists guiding her path. So many of you have sent healing energy and notes of encouragement. Thank you! 

What happens at the end of the longest night? An infusion of Light. That Light is created as we hold space for each other, and as we hold each other close.

In this audio, you'll hear about the holiday sale (20% off gift certificates and private sessions), the next online psychic development intensive, and January's online gallery reading. 

My prayer for you is that you find bright Light in even the darkest night. May you and all those you love be well. May the new year bring us ease, grace, healing, and joy. 

With love,

P.S. Please follow me on Instagram (@fogcitypsychic) for updates, Maisie the Dog pix, jigsaw puzzle obsession, and much more. 

A lot of people ask me if it's "too late" for them. Whether they are talking about changing jobs, finding love, pursuing something they're curious about, reinventing themselves in some way ... my answer is almost always "No." 

It's not too late. With every breath you take, you may choose to continue in the old way or take a new path. That's true whether you are 6 years old or 106 years old. 

The losses and sorrows we move through, the setbacks and obstacles we experience, aren't enough to stop us unless that is our choice. In my own life, I've found myself in a place where I am consciously choosing to make some big positive changes ... and I couldn't make those changes without the benefit of the extremely difficult experiences of the last year. 

In this audio message, you'll hear about the next online gallery reading on 2/12, the live Meet Your Guides class on 2/19, and the live Heart of Abundance online class on 2/28.

My prayer for you is that you consider all the ways in which it may not be "too late" for you. What sparks your curiosity? What brings you joy? Take a small step toward that today. Nothing happens all at once, but that small step may help you remember the power and potential and grace you carry within you. 

Every year at this time I send you a recording of this beautiful blessing from Jan Richardson. It’s called “Blessing for the Longest Night.” It’s from her book “The Cure for Sorrow: A Book of Blessings for Times of Grief.” Find more of Jan’s work at janrichardson.com.

I share this with a prayer that you become the Light you truly are, and that you shine that Light in the world. As the old year comes to an end and we rise into the new year, may you feel and know that spark of Divine connection that keeps you walking toward the dawn.

With love,

This is the time of year where things seem to be speeding up and slowing down at the same time. As we rush headlong into the holidays, there’s an equally potent invitation to drop into quiet and introspection as we look at the year just past and the year ahead. 

That in-between space is where intuition and creativity can flourish … if we will allow ourselves the gift of space and time to listen and experiment. 

The Holiday Sale (20% off private sessions with code HOLIDAY and 20% off gift certificates) is in full swing! And the last online gallery of the year is on 12/11. 

My prayer for you over the next few weeks is that you don’t hesitate to drop into that sacred space of slowing down, and that you feel into your connection with Spirit in a way that amplifies the joy and insight of the season.

With love,

I'm so happy to be back from leave! Starting this week, I'm resuming my "normal" schedule of podcasts, classes, and client sessions. 

My second hip surgery went wonderfully well and I'm healing beautifully. During my time away, I struggled with my tendency to make a lot of goals and create a lot of busyness for myself. And as the weeks went on, I learned to let that slide and allow a bit more graciousness ... a bit more space for healing and just being held in Divine Light. 

You'll hear more about that in this audio. You'll also get the discount code for 20% off a private intuitive session; hear about the 10/9 online gallery reading; get details on the free guided writing class coming up on 10/20; and catch the dates for the next session of the online psychic development intensive. 

My prayer for you is that you find ease, spaciousness, grace in your usual habits and patterns. May you find healing and abundance in all you do. 

With love,

If we are manifestations of Divine Love in the world (and I believe we are), why are we so stingy about letting ourselves receive that love? Why can it be so difficult to treat our healing selves with compassion?

You'll hear my musings about this, get the dates for my surgery and recovery (8/17-10/4), and get details about the next online gallery reading. 

My prayer for you is that when you find yourself out of alignment with compassion, you find a moment to breathe and to reconnect with that always-on flow of Divine Love. You are worth it, and it belongs to you. 

With love and gratitude,

Karen

Listen to hear more about my (surprise!) upcoming hip surgery. I'll be out of the office between 5/13 and 6/13. 

When a plot twist like this happens, it challenges me to go deeper into my spiritual practice ... to look for the Divine in every moment, to slow things down to the tiniest possible increments so I can be fully present, and to practice compassion for myself just as I would with someone else. 

You'll also get the coupon code for 20% off a private session, hear about Saturday's (5/8) online gallery reading, and learn about the upcoming online psychic development intensive that begins 6/15. 

My prayer for you is that you surprise yourself by being fully present to your connection with Spirit. That you feel and know protection, healing, blessing, ease, and grace in all you do. 

With love,

What do you do when you’re faced with something you can’t control?

In this message, you’ll hear about the challenges my oldest son is facing due to a diagnosis of viral pericarditis. It’s reminded all of us that although we can’t control the situation, we can control our response.

You'll also hear about the upcoming online gallery reading and Meet Your Guides class. 

Don't forget to use the discount code TOUCHSTONE in the scheduler for 20% off a private intuitive session any time.
