The Lilac Broom

         Mental Health (around the world) is widely misunderstood and unrecognized.  It's surprising in 2021 to still be saying that, but every day I meet people who do not know how to properly detect a mental health issue when it is in front of them.                                                              ~Lilac Grief Happens Hi!  I'm Lilac from The Lilac Broom on YouTube.  I often address the concept of grief when I am reading Tarot for my clients, or while providing a Reiki Healing session. Grief happens.  Grief is often blanketed over when people address a friend or co-worker who has had a devastating loss.  In one respect, they know that the person who has experienced the loss is sad. ..but is sadness grief ?  Many people do not realize that...

  Hi everyone!   Time to go a bit behind the veil and see how the Tarot answers our questions and how it can heal us through that process.  Tomorrow is another portal that happens yearly and so this article is perfectly timed. The portal is known as the 11-11 Portal (November 11th). I am thankful to my Spirit Guides for putting this on my heart today. Happiness, as well as suffering is always with us.  You cannot have one and not the other.  This is the way of the universe and ALL religions speak of it.  This is not just an idea that is made up to explain bad things happening.  In fact...are there really bad things or do we as humans on this 3 dimensional experience of "life" just apply the term to events and then create the reality ourselves.  We will not know the secrets of the universe until we become one with the universe. How Tarot Heals It's very important to me that my clients understand and recognize that my purpose in providing Tarot...

~Lilacs bloom in Spring. The Lilac Broom is eternal~ If you believe in yourself, you must keep moving forward when there are difficulties and obstacles.  I feel like my life is a series of setbacks, forever keeping me from my goals.  When I "push through" and try to stay on my path, I am perceived as being "Pushy", "Bossy", "domineering", a "Bulldozer".  But when I allow whatever is going on around me to prevent me from moving forward out of fear of being seen as these things...I just stay stuck and stagnant while others get what they want- my time, my energy, my life.  But this year, I am going to FALL in love... again. I don't mean that my marriage is in crisis...it's not that kind of love. In fact, I honestly don't think marriage has all that much to do with love.  Marriage is about committing to a person with whom you will join forces in this world, and in this life.  Love is eternal.  Love is everywhere.  I am suggestin...

Thanks for checking out my Etsy Shop! www/etsy.com/shop/GlamSimpleBoutique Spring always inspires me to start my "Big" plans...and trust me, I always have big plans!  In fact, I am KNOWN for it!  Anyone who knows me, has seen how I like to create and recreate to my heart's content.  Some of the current creations center around hearth and home.  And with the beautiful transformation of winter into Spring, I am inspired!  My kitchen witch and I have been reading up on our kitchen magic to see what we should do to usher in prosperity, goodwill and joy! A s you may know, I have started preparations for the summertime gardens.  The crocus and daffodils are coming up outside in the front yard and in the berry patch...the first signs of metamorphosis. Those changes usher with them the excitement of possibilities forming just under the soil. Will the blueberry bushes that we planted last year, come back to life?  Was it a fail?  I am not deterred either wa...

"I am living proof of what I say...what I recommend and what I value.  If the day ever comes when this is not true, I hope to no longer be at all." To some people, I may be nothing special.  But those are not my people. Today is Wednesday- actually, St. Patrick's Day!  Today I am taking stock of where I am in the process of creating products that I love that are handmade and that are practical.  My desire is to make items that we commonly buy at stores, and that we all use and need.  Perhaps not all of us will use them, but I am basically identifying items that we use that are heavily chemical laden when we purchase them in commercial environments.  I am discovering how to create some of these household items using quality ingredients.  As I make these discoveries, I am documenting and recording the process as well as investing in ways to market these products on my Etsy Shop.  Eventually, I hope to bring that same "store" experience to a physical...

  "Calling all Fairies!  Vacancy here.  Come and bless my garden with bounty all year! I promise to leave you all kinds of treasures. XOXO" Lilac March 10, 2021 I have NEVER been more excited about getting my gardens started.  That is because last year was out 1ST Springtime here and we were all just learning about Covid and getting our worlds completely turned upside down.  But THIS YEAR...this year we welcome Spring (Ostara for us Witches) with open arms and lots of hope. Yesterday, when the weather hit 50*, it was incredibly windy.  This is quite common here due to our proximity to the ocean.  However, we were able to get some things done...mainly preparing soil beds and removing debris that has blown in and gotten stuck like leaves.  The garden areas are shaping up pretty well for this year's undertaking. Here, Alex and I used Zip-Ties to create a climbing space for vines that we will plant in a month from now. I filled this "soon-to-be" Fairy...

  Hello my fans and friends alike! This blog entry today will be about my videos that I make for YouTube.   “ Be  bold , be brave enough to be your true self.”  Queen Latifah From a very young age (an age of consciousness), any human will feel inadequate stepping in front of an audience.  I have experience in front of audiences of all sizes.  As a college student I often performed for large crowds as a singer, dancer and entertainer.  Later I became a very good orator.  I am a confident public speaker.  That skill translated to amazing success in Property Management for me.  Being able to command a room of angry people or to combat a group of "entitled" and angry people, and get two sides to merge....these are skills I easily drop on the bucket and say, "been there, done that- what's next?" Creating Videos and publishing them, videos where I channel a spiritual message or share my knowledge of the "Otherworld"- this is something altogeth...
