Have you ever been to a psychic? Even though I’m thoroughly woo-woo, I’ve only been to one psychic in my life, and that was in my twenties.

Forget Butterflies. Dragonflies Have an Ever Better Story!
How many times have you heard the story of the butterfly emerging from its cocoon? Maybe fifteen hundred billion times? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good butterfly story.

Goofball Rap: Big Bang (Biggity Bang)
Mp3 available here! The story behind this video: In the spring of 2012, I took a class at Holmes Institute called Metaphysical Bible. For our final project, our instructor, Rev.
