Hello beautiful souls, and happy Mayday!!

I don’t know about you, but April was exhausting for me! I swung back and forth between working like a madwoman and total lethargy, despite trying to be kind to myself. Sometimes you just gotta heed the call!

Updates

1. Free Facebook wall readings – new schedule
   If you’re not familiar, I do free tarot-based mini-readings on my Half-Cracked Guru Facebook page, usually in the early afternoon on Saturdays (EST).
   
   I will still be doing Saturdays at the same time, but have officially decided to do them twice a month instead of trying (and failing) to do them every Saturday. I will now be doing them on the weeks that I don’t publish a pick-a-card reading. I will be doing them this Saturday.
   
2. My son’s 2nd professional MMA fight is next weekend!
   Not only am I psyched to see him making his dreams come true, but this fight is in Florida, and he’s bringing me! I have so missed Florida 🥰🥰🥰

What I’m creating

I bet you didn’t know that I also make jewelry! I have been getting ready to finally start adding my jewelry to my shop, and will be doing a “grand reopening” this fall! Here’s a sneak peek:

What I’m reading

The book links are from Amazon, but they’re not affiliate links.

The Look, by Laurie Perez

This is the first book in a trilogy, and it was just beautiful! I’ll be cracking book 2 shortly!

“THE LOOK OF AMIE MARTINE is the first book in The Amie Series.

Heartbreaking losses and mystic interventions : L.A. actors, Sufi poets, deadly Dutch lovers : A sexy new take on Orpheus and Eurydice served with chasers of very, very cold Icelandic vodka. Set in Phoenix, Hollywood, Iceland, 13th century Persia and beyond the veil, THE LOOK has a vast, global scope with an intimacy you will not want to leave.”

The Look, (The Amie Series Book 1)

When Love Heals, by Ruby Ashford

This is a little off the beaten path of my usual genres, and I just loved it! This series is described as a “A Second-Chance Small-Town Later-in-Life Clean Romance.” She released a novelette for this series that I read first, and I’m looking forward to the next one!

“She’s afraid to let anyone in. He’s going back to Nepal—for good. Will these two hearts risk everything for love, or lose their chance at happiness?

Dr. Ivy Rutherford is trapped. After years of work, her soul-driven project is in jeopardy when she must go against everything she believes—or lose her funding. So in a meeting about a solution, she’s horrified that she has to accept help from the obnoxious hippie she can’t stand—or watch her dream die.

Noah Remington dreaded coming back. After 30 years away, he intends a speedy escape, but when Fate insists he helps Ivy, one encounter with her green eyes drops a bomb in the middle of his plans. Now, his unwavering commitment to help an impoverished community is threatened, and the weight of it is crushing.”

When Love Heals, Willow Valley Book 1

What I’m watching

Links and synopsis from IMBD

Wheel of Time, Series on Amazon Prime

I just finished watching the 3rd season of this show and I love it so much!! The first season was good, but a little slow for me. The 2nd and 3rd seasons had me hooked on every moment! I absolutely LOVE their magic system!

“Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it, a woman named Moiraine crosses paths with five young men and women. This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Based on the book series by Robert Jordan.”

Handmaid’s Tale, Series on Hulu

I thought the series was finished with season 5 in 2022, but they started a new season last month!! This is my all-time favorite series!

“Set in a dystopian future, a woman is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship.”

Testament, The Legacy

I had almost forgotten this one, but Alex Skolnick is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. Sure, he can play fast and heavy, but his solos are pure magic and never fail to engulf me entirely!

Ashnikko, Deal With It

She’s a new favorite for me, her lyrics crack me up!

Peachkka, Water

This is another new-to-me artist who was an instant love. The songs I’ve heard from her are basically affirmations in the form of rap – a great way to get those affirmations in!
