We all want to know what the future holds. Even I’ve sought out psychics to get a glimpse of what’s around the bend. (Unfortunately, I can read for everyone but myself! I, too, seek out experts.)

The challenge is that the future is shaped by the now. And what is happening now can tell you a lot about whether you’re in a place to get caught up in the future.

It’s a tricky thing, looking to the future. It’s like a hike up a mountain. You want to reach the summit, but you might trip over stones and branches if you don’t focus on what’s underfoot. And if you don’t study the trail map or pay attention at the crossroads, you might take a path that steers you off course.

You should know where you stand and the important junctures to reach your destination.

This is where I can help. My readings examine whether your footing is shaky, your plan solid, and what brambles lie ahead. Future readings combine what’s happening now and what lies in wait.

But there are also moments in life when we cannot plan for the future. If we’re in distress or grief, we operate in fight or flight mode. These modes are not conducive to long-term planning. The future has to be put on hold so you can spend time taking care of yourself. Without a grounded, self-compassionate mindset, nothing can move forward.

The future is about carrying the now within a centered heart.
