Books I Love
The Eagle and the Rose
SPIRITUAL
I read The Eagle and the Rose in my 20s and I still consider it one of the most significant books on my spiritual journey.
Rosemary Altea
"In Death" Series
FICTION
I enjoy J.D. Robb books, but especially the "In Death Series." The weaving of a mystery with compelling characters always makes me want to pick up the latest book!
J.D. Robb
The Lost Bride Trilogy
FICTION
I love Nora Roberts books, especially when a series includes modern day witches! The most recent one I've read is The Lost Bride Trilogy.
Nora Roberts
Poetry
Devotions
Mary Oliver
I instantly connected to her style and verses in this poetry collection. I appreciate that she has a way of connecting to both emotions and themes of nature in this book.
Certified Angel Card Reader
What does this mean?
To receive this certification, I studied under Kyle Gray, which included completing almost 50 modules on Angels, Ascended Masters, and Angel Card Mastery. I completed several case studies and live readings with feedback, which were assessed by Kyle Gray before certification was granted.
It’s a service I enjoy providing, and I love to connect with the Angels!
What is a Angel Card Reading?
An angel card reading is providing gentle insights prompted by the selected oracle cards while connecting with the energy of angels and guides. The most common is a three-card reading, outlining the Strength, Heart, and Challenge of the sitter. Many more complex readings are also available.
Having said that, the guidance that is offered through a reading should never be considered a replacement for professional advice of any sort.
Oracle Card Decks I Love
Gateway Oracle Cards
Denise Linn
This was the very first Oracle Deck I worked with for personal guidance and assurance. I pulled a daily card for years and still find comfort in the messages that I receive when I use it now.
Kyle Gray
Angel Guide Oracle Deck
I worked with these Kyle Gray decks regularly while training and working with the Angel Team and for my certification. Needless to say, they are my “go-to” decks.
Angel Prayers
Kyle Gray
Kyle Gray makes connecting with angels accessible. These cards offer a way to connect with different angels and Archangels for support with any situation you may be facing. They reinforce what each angel is known for and encourage you to form your own relationship with each one.
Colette Baron-Reid
Oracle of the 7 Energies
This is a beautifully illustrated deck that I was drawn to, wonderful to work with, positive guidance for manifestation and co-creation.
