THERE'S NO TOMORROW LIKE TODAY

The Winter Solstice is taking place as I type this and each year at this time, I always do a tarot card reading for myself for the year ahead but tonight I want to give that to the City of Boomtown. As we all begin Winter together (the most magical season of all to m

Ignore the sword stabbing the 5 Scrolls and just focus on the field of heather in the moonlight. Actually don't ignore the sword stabbing the scrolls but know that the field of heather which accompanies it lets you know that you are protected during whatever it is you may be going

Happy Almost~Coronation Day! (For those who are looking forward to it) I was perusing some of the Coronation offerings on Etsy yesterday & came upon these little guys & since I won't be on here next week, I wanted to post them today. You might not SEE them next Saturday but they'll b

"All my dreams are built around your face And this place... All the times I'm staring at the sun, You're the one... Wake up one morning and your dreams are life"

Today I've drawn my very favorite presentation of the King of Swords that exists in the world! (That I know of.) This is the King of Swords from the Guardian Of The Night Tarot. I love him first & foremost because he's an owl in a beautiful forest at night ~ I love owls, I love fore

Dark winter days arrive & along with them people can feel a loss of hope or a sense of despair, feeling that sad, painful, and/or heartbreaking circumstances may never end ~ that hope could never find its way to them again. But hope has arrived this morning in the form of t

When I think about the lines that came to me as I sat meditating upon the tarot card I drew for all of us today, the 4 of Challenges, I laugh out loud because it's so direct but I love direct & direct is incredibly helpful. In the short time since this meditation came to me (bec

The man in the 10 of Challenges (10 of Swords in a standard deck) has really been through it. He doesn't stop often to rest but this time he simply must. He's been fighting a hard fight for a very long time. Lately it seems he's come upon nothing but impenetrable walls that are bui

https://youtu.be/s0ilMQVQLOk ✨ I learned that Patti Smith was going to be bringing her 12~date "Songs & Stories" tour, in support of her beautiful new book, "A Book of Days", to Nashville a little too late...or so it seemed. When I found out about it it had already sold out

Happy New Moon in Cancer, everyone! While I would love to tell you about all of the possibility that exists with this for you to make changes or begin something new entirely in regard to your emotional life and the things you love to do creatively (incredible possibility this week!),

I hope everyone who was looking forward to the Coronation enjoyed it! In honor of it, since the Coronation represents a new beginning, when I drew a card from the Chrysalis Tarot this morning, I asked to be shown a card that will provide guidance for everyone embarking upon a new be

🌸 ♎ 🌸 Happy Full Moon in Libra, Everyone! We are all now experiencing the influence of the Full Moon in Libra in our lives, which is turning our thoughts to relationships, partnerships, a legal matter that we may have to consider, finding & maintaining peace, striving to feel a s

She took your hand & brought you to this place...warm, filled with the scent of embers from a burning fire...a world a million miles away from the one just outside the door. And all around you is Love. When you walk through her door...When you enter her realm...you've

As gently as the Sun merged with Pisces on February 18th (where it will stay until March 20th), this morning in my tarot drawing, softly came the Swan of the Knight of Cups of the Guardian Of the Night Tarot, a very appropriate card to draw for this time of the Sun entering Pisces as Pi

Hi, Everyone! Let me begin this by saying that the Moon is in Virgo today, the 2nd of the three Earth signs, which makes it a great day for taking an action, even a 1st small one, for turning a dream into reality ~ Earth sign Moons are great for that because you're standing on solid ground

Hi, everyone! Today, and for the rest of January, I'll be drawing from a deck I discovered in November while looking for card images to use as a part of the design for this corner of Boomtown. I'm so glad I went searching on that November day because what I discovered is a

Maybe for any number of good reasons, you just haven't felt very Christmas~y yet. The encouragement offered you from the Child of Spells of the Forest of Enchantment Tarot (Page of Wands in a standard deck) is to just for this weekend (& beyond if you feel the de

A lot of magic happens while we sleep. Or maybe a better way to put it is a lot of magic happens at night (I love to be up with the night and maybe you do, too). Whether you're up with the owls or letting them do their thing in the quiet of a starry December night, if you listen out

Welcome to "No Tomorrow Like Today", a warm & peaceful corner of Boomtown where you can come to take a break from the world, let anxiety fall away, and always find magic. ✨ How I wish I were talking with you about the Magic of Garry Roberts with him being right here physicall

Happy Birthday today to Nick Rhodes and to my cat, Franny, who I actually call Franny Duranie & Franny Ferry because the very first two songs to catch her finely attuned Geminian ear when I brought her home as a kitten from Maggie Valley, NC, in November of 2017, were "Oh, Yeah" b

I wish I could lay claim to the spectacular first part of that title but unfortunately it's not mine. 😐 I came upon it yesterday while searching an old Rolling Stone magazine article & landed upon someone's site on Flickr that has every (I believe) issue of Smash Hits! (I

While I wish I could begin writing underneath such a beautiful & peaceful card (The Star from the Druid Craft Tarot) with only uplifting words, there simply isn't a way that living in Nashville as I do, I could do anything other than beginning by thinking about

"Drag me down in colors pink & gold (Like a ship that's going under... Bring me home in rain & thunder) Bless the night before the day grows old (Like a ship that's going under... Bring me home in rain & thunder)" ~ "Drag Me Down", The Boomtown

Be it fireflies in the country or spotlights in the city, lights are preparing to dance around you, celebrate you, and welcome you into a warm world of appreciation... Today I've drawn the Ace of Wands. Wands are fire, passion, fury, inspiration, illumination, the masculine world of the

✨✨ 𝑺𝒕. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒅’𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔! ✨✨ Today is St Brigid's Eve, so don't forget to leave a cloth or a scarf outside to be blessed by the Saint as she passes. Known as "Bratóg Bhríde' (Brigid’s cloak, blanket, flag, rag.) in Irish folklore, this special garment can then be used

THE 10 of PENTACLES Astrological Association: MERCURY in VIRGO A MESSAGE FROM THE STARMAN CALLING FORTH THE LIGHT WITHIN: This morning, in honor of our week having begun with David Bowie's birthday (January 8th), I've drawn a card from the Starman Tarot asking f

I start most mornings by pressing the Pandora icon on my phone & seeing where it will lead me & it really is true that whatever path Pandora takes me on in the morning determines how my day feels. I love that... because I never really know where I'm going to go each day. A song was su

Happy Christmastime, Everyone! I hope everyone is having a warm & fun beginning to their holiday season! Today I begin one of the things that this corner of Boomtown called "No Tomorrow Like Today" was created for ~ to bring you a twice~weekly reflection/meditation through the drawing
