You are special and I appreciate you. Feeling appreciated is a vital part of moving through life, shaping our sense of worth, connection, and motivation. It reinforces that our presence and efforts matter, helping us navigate the world with greater confidence and purpose. Many metaphysical healers promote the concept of telling someone that they are appreciated to that end. ~ Ellie

Every April, the streets of Boston come alive with one of the most storied races in the world: the Boston Marathon. First run in 1897, it stands as the oldest annual marathon, blending elite athleticism with deep tradition and community spirit.
Runners from across the globe gather in nearby towns and make their way toward the iconic finish line on Boylston Street. Along the route, crowds cheer relentlessly - none more famous than the students at Wellesley College, whose energy has become a defining moment for many participants.
But the marathon is more than a race. It's a symbol of resilience, especially in the years following the Boston Marathon bombing. The phrase "Boston Strong" continues to echo, reminding the world of the city's unity and strength. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the Boston Marathon remains a powerful reminder of endurance not just in sport, but in spirit.
My grandson, Michael, spent four years at Boston College followed by two years of working in Boston. He often went to the marathon with friends and colleagues. Another grandson, Matthew, will be attending Boston University starting this August in a premed masters program in science. Matthew has a friend who ran the Boston Marathon and did well. I have friends and clients who enjoy the marathon, many of whom participate. A few were there when the Boston bombing happened in 2013.
Good luck to all this year.
420 Weed Day
420 is not an official US national holiday; it is an "unofficial" counterculture holiday that originated from a group of California high schoolers called the "Waldos" in 1971. They used "420" as code to meet at 4:20 p.m. to smoke, and the term was later popularized by the band Grateful Dead and High Times magazine. ~ google
Saturday - while walking down 3rd Avenue in my neighborhood - I noticed the store in the pic above that featured flags, balloons, and other things that make you want to stop and look to see what was opening.
As someone who has never tried cannabis, I had to stop and ask one of the girls who was standing outside what was going on. The store was enjoying much attention, as people stopped to look at the elaborate display of giant foil balloons that went all the way out to the curb (I should have taken a pic). This is not the first cannabis dispensary in Bay Ridge, but the closest to my house.
There have been many names for cannabis from marijuana, weed, pot, grass, to name a few. It takes me back to college when people referred to something called, "A Nickel Bag". My friends and I were never involved with pot or another other recreational drugs, but we respected that other people had different paths.
Personally, I don't like the smell of pot but then again, I don't like the smells of many things like that, including sage - used as a means to clear negative energy, emotions, or perhaps spirits in a specific space. When I used to work at the psychic fairs years ago - and someone started smudging an area that was close to me - I would simply moved to another table.
In the past, I've read clients who call themselves healers and use something called Molly (MDMA) - a synthetic stimulant and mild psychedelic that causes euphoria, increased energy, and emotional warmth - to help their clients with mental health issues - that I believe should be under the care of a medical professional not a metaphysical healer. Yes, I advised each of them to tread lightly because they are risking the health of their clients in more ways than one.
I also have clients who experiment with - N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) - a potent psychedelic compound found in various plants and animals, known for producing intense, short-lived hallucinations, often described as a 10-15 minute "trip". It is used for spiritual exploration or recreational purposes, sometimes in the form of ayahuasca. It is illegal in most countries, classified as a Schedule I substance. The reason they took the drug was to experience something that happens naturally for me, and that is to be able to read the grids that create the illusion of this reality. One Hollywood producer received this message while under the influence ... "Reality is a Simulation". From there, he googled simulation theory, and found me.
I am perhaps the only person you've ever met who never did any kind of "drugs" and hates drinking. As someone who likes to be in control - it was the wrong path for me.
I don't advise clients not to smoke weed, if it's something they've been doing for years, they know the dealer and product, and it's of comfort to them. With long term effects many have returned for another reading after developing cancer in the mouth or lungs. We all have different paths that guide our destines.
New Moon 26° Pisces
The New Moon in Pisces arrives like a quiet tide, pulling us inward toward reflection, intuition, and emotional reset.
As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom and weight of everything that came before it.
This lunation isn't about bold beginnings in the usual sense - it's about release, surrender, and trusting what you feel more than what you can prove.
Under a Pisces New Moon, the boundaries between reality and imagination soften.
Dreams may feel more vivid, memories more present, and creativity more accessible.
It's an ideal time for journaling, meditation, or simply allowing yourself to drift without a rigid plan.
The energy encourages compassion - toward others, yes, but especially toward yourself.
There's also a subtle call to let go.
Pisces reminds us that not everything is meant to be controlled or fully understood.
Sometimes clarity comes not from forcing answers, but from allowing space for them to emerge.
Set intentions that focus less on achievement and more on alignment - peace, healing, forgiveness, and emotional clarity.
In the stillness of this New Moon, what you release may matter more than what you begin.
Whether outdoors or inside - take a moment to relax - and let go.
If you see it as fun - you will embrace the connection to something beyond this earthly experience that bounds the Human Journey to physical reality.
These energies will last for the next three days.
Taurus is a fixed Earth sign ruled by Venus.
Happy Birthday to the Crystalinks readers born in Taurus.

To exist in physical reality is to grasp its bipolar, dualistic, electromagnetic (north-south) nature which unfolds through the concept of linear time as we experience it.
Within this framework (matrix), everything contains opposing qualities, commonly interpreted as positive and negative, right and wrong ...
Consider something like AI. Its impact is being viewed as both beneficial or detrimental depending on one's perspective and programming.
The same applies to the choices we make after filtering them through our intellectual and emotional lens.
Social media encourages criticism and judgment which plays well within our matrix created for the study of emotions. However you rate the value of argumentative behavior it's best to just let it all go because you're not going to change anything. People and reality invariably come to their own conclusions and actions by design.
Never forget that everything created has a positive and a negative aspect forever seeking a balanced outcome.
There are no absolutes. Reality just is. Relax. Take a deep breath. For better or worse in duality ... let life happen. You have no choice (no free will) because if you did how different would your life be.
