I’ve been reading Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom for a while now (yeah, yeah, someday I’m actually going to update my links list). The reason I’m writing today, though, isn’t just to recommend the blog (which I do…highly), but to tell you about the great giveaway she’s doing. She recently reviewed The Housewive’s Tarot, [...]

Today’s card? Yes, it’s Death again. Someone is definitely trying to tell me something, but what? Don’t beat around the bush…spit it out! I’m an intuitive…I get the big picture, but I’m not that good at details. Tell me what to do and I’ll do it! *sighs* Goddess card today is Freyja. “Take risks and [...]
