Here it is! Today is my 49th birthday. The first day of the last year of my 40s.
And, things are good! Here are some of the things I’ve been doing since my 48th birthday:
I’m working on completing my dissertation, with an eye on graduating in May.
I have my own office, which I love so much. It offers me a lovely spot to officiate quick weddings, give Reiki sessions, and teach small groups of students. I also give Angel Card Readings, and I have an Aura Camera, so I can give readings with that too.
Rayna is in her first year of college, and doing very well, and working on getting her driver’s license. So far, I’m somehow surviving the anxiety I feel when she’s behind the wheel. The struggle is real though!
I have learned a lot about energy healing by working on my dissertation. I think the meditation practice with HeartMath meditation has made my healing work stronger, too. Info about that is here:
The HeartMath Inner Balance Meditation™ App and Sensor
Still teaching online, and Reiki Awakening Academy has a new, better website. It took a long time to be ready, and still looks similar to the old one, but it is better mobile-friendly, and has a more modern look.

Gray is good!:D |
I let my hair go gray. And it’s long. It saves me trips to the hairdresser and I like it. Hello, end of my 40s!
I’m teaching at Montgomery College, and loving it! My students are wonderful people who are really interested in learning what I teach them.
I wrote 20 Skills for the Amazon Echo, and they’re fun and positive.
I am grateful, very much so, for my life. I love being on my own schedule, managing my work, teaching, and being here in Maryland.
I’m ready for new and exciting opportunities! Okay, 49! Bring it!
Love,
Me
