Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home.

I’ve finally settled into my new home online, so it’s time for a virtual housewarming party!

Some things may not be completely in order here yet, and I’ll still be tweaking things a bit, but you should already have an idea of what to expect to see in this blog in the future.

You’ll probably see posts about my adventures in the world of Tarot, psychic, and paranormal, as well as musings about spiritual growth, personal development, and positive thinking because those are the things I’m interested in. Oh, this blog is also very personal, utterly unprofessional, and a bit tongue-in-cheek… just like its author!

Like everyone in this world, I’ve got my quirks. Read on for a list of some of the peculiar features you’ll find here. You can take this list as a warning or a promise, depending on your personal tastes.

I had a very intense experience of accidental telepathy with my husband a few months ago. Last May, actually. It took us both by surprise because we weren’t even trying to mess with each others’ minds that day. It just… happened. Out of the blue.

We’ve shared some telepathic experiences before but nothing dramatic. None of the previous experiences had been as intense, as clear, and as strong as this one was.

Actually, I don’t know if our experience was telepathy. It could have been astral travel, too, for all I know. Anyway, I do know for sure it was something fancy, something unexplained, and something that seriously made our jaws hang open for a while.

Have you ever wondered how it would feel like to lose your memory for a few years?

Imagine a total blackout – lasting for seven years! How would you feel like if you suddenly found yourself in a completely foreign environment, having no idea how you got there, just like what would happen after some heavy partying… except, in this case, you’d find out it’s year 2016?

Nope, I’ve never thought about it either, until last night.

Last night, I had a very eerie dream where I found myself in a situation like that. The dream is still giving me the creeps. In the dream, I had to find out what I had been up to for the last seven years, beginning with the basics: was I married, did I have kids, where I was working, and so on. Yeah, I bet you’d get the creeps, too.

First keep the peace within yourself,
then you can also bring peace to others.

Hello world!

This little blogging project of mine is finally coming together. No, this blog isn’t officially launched yet, though. I’m still testing and tweaking things a bit, and to be honest, this post you’re reading is merely yet another test post.

Instead of generating some Lorem Ipsum or fascinating stories about quick brown foxes and lazy dogs, I figured I’ll write an actual blog post. So, in this post, I’ll explain what I’ve been doing with this blog so far and what I’m still planning to do before I will officially launch this thing.
