Path Notes
Spiritually, I am a cognitive practitioner and contemplative, and worked with the Tarot from about 1983-2005.
Some favorite quotes and thoughts
Writings on Tools for Intuition Development (Tarot)
While I was a stay-at-home mom, I did quite a bit of writing often under the Lelandra pen-name. When my son went to school, I retrained as a massage therapist, and my obsession turned in more physical directions.
