Digging through some musty boxes of childhood memories that my mom had stored away, I uncovered a book I had written as a third grader called "The Land of Pufflewillows." I clearly remember writing and illustrating it and being so enamored with the fantasy world I was crafting. I remember that there were lots of cats, crystals, and Pufflewillows which I described as "fuzzy balls with wings" but I did not remember the exact story. As I read it, I realized there were quite a few uncanny...

The Spirit Cats 2025 Calendar and Dream Cat Pin Pre-Order starts TODAY! I am including an exclusive surprise free gift (not in my shop) with each calendar for the first 222 people who pre-order as a big THANK YOU! Last year, I ended up with a surplus of calendars for the first time so I will only be ordering a very small number of calendars beyond this pre-order. Expect an extremely limited availability of the Spirit Cats Calendar beyond this pre-sale. Your pre-orders help me fund the initial...

Save the date, my friends.... In just 1 week on August 27th, I will be opening the pre-sale for my Spirit Cats 2025 Moon + Sun Calendar. There will be an early-bird free gift that is NOT available in my shop AND brand new special discounted bundles. There will be extremely limited availability of the Spirit Cats Calendar beyond this pre-sale as I won't be ordering as many extra calendars as previous years. The calendar will feature cats from the Spirit and Witch Cats Oracle Decks but there...

"Bright Future" from my Witch Cats Oracle Deck Hello friends, I am writing to you from the edge of a little pond in New Hampshire with a golden half moon shining across the water. Last night, my partner and I canoed into the center of the pond and watched shooting stars of the Perseids and listened to the loons, crickets, frogs, and coy wolves. We just let the boat drift and relaxed into the wild night. The nature here will always feel like home. "Float Downstream" from my Witch Cats Oracle...

Hi friends, i am writing to you right now in the middle of a creative whirlwind. I tend to be a person who enjoys focusing on one thing at a time, finishing one art project before moving onto the next but sometimes things get wild and the creative fire starts moving in all directions at once. I am have been building my booth display and doing all the behind the scenes prep for CatCon this coming weekend. So my garage looks like this: I promise it will be very cute in person and I will have...

Hello friends, I'm sipping on my almond milk cold brew in my plant-filled neighborhood cafe, imagining you all out there moving the through the complexity and beauty of your lives just as I am over here. I missed writing to you and felt drawn to share a summer life and creative update. I recently got back from a trip to Antigua, Guatemala which was filled with romantic ruins, erupting volcanoes, many friends old and new, unsettling reminders of colonialism, lots of dancing, and swimming in...

Lately, I have been dipping in and out of a scarcity vortex. There have been some undeniable real world triggers and money has been much tighter than before as I am sure many are experiencing. I have been receiving the message from my guides to really double down on the resources I already have. I have a back patio with verdant plants, red flowers and ruby-breasted hummingbirds. So I try to spend as much time as possible really savoring the sensual delights of the garden. I have a room solely...

Hi friends, I am in the process of giving my website a little glow up and I would so appreciate your help. I would love to add testimonials/reviews of my Witch Cats Oracle Deck, my Cosmic Allies Altar Art Deck and my Moon Letters (this email newsletter) to my website. If you have a few minutes and would like to help, you can share your testimonials here. Feel free to write a testimonial for one, two or all three of these things. In your testimonial, I encourage you to share what these...

Thank you so much for your patience with this update. I have been working away behind the scenes on my Wander Kittens 2 Mini Deck Set. Witch Kittens Deck, Spirit Kittens Deck, and the Witch Cats Divination Coin As you may already know, I decided to completely reimagine and rewrite the messages on the backs of these cards. While the art and the keywords are the same as the full size Witch Cats and Spirit Cats Decks, for the Wander Kittens I am crystallizing each card’s message into a succinct...

Hi friends, As I promised, I am finally sharing the third revelation from my Eclipse adventure. A few weeks ago in my Moon Letters, I wrote about my first two learnings from my journey and last week, I felt an inner pull to explore what MAGIC means to me. To set the stage, when I was visiting Austin, I had the marvelous opportunity to stay at a boutique hotel with a magical gothic library vibe. From the ruby red velvet throne chairs in the lobby to the hand-selected vintage glass bottle...
