There’s a section of my pantry full of good intentions.

You know the one. It’s full of herbal teas meant to balance my various cycles and fluids that I’m definitely going to drink one day. There are those really fancy organic lentils I bought at the trendy farm store last fall that I’m going to cook for really special guests. All sitting next to that miniature waffle maker I picked up in the thrift store because of course I’m gonna make mini waffles all the time now!

And yet the teas, lentils, herbs, vitamin regimens, waffle makers, and all my good intentions continue to gather dust.

Another day, another week, another month, and yes even years go by and nothing happens. Well actually one thing happens to my pantry items as the dust falls. They also gather guilt.

Every time I go to the pantry to get the popcorn for watching movies, or dried mango for snackin’, or the $25 air fryer I also bought with the thrift store waffle maker to make chicken wings; I see those lentils and feel - oof - guilty.

I’ll get to it! I really want to! I know I’ll totally benefit from those teas and vitamins and in fact I can’t wait to start taking them! But here I am, another year on the calendar and those sad lentils continue to dry out.

So this has all been on my mind as I’ve tried to find my 2026 New Year’s Intentions.

What is it about New Year’s intentions that never seem to work out? I really wanted to know so I could actually make a good intention for the year. It really is a powerful practice, even if it’s sort of arbitrary so you know me; I went ahead and did a lil psychic read on the whole thing.

Here’s what I discovered about intentions, especially the super charged ones we make around New Years. They’re almost never in present time.

Why does it matter to be in present time?

In all my life experience, studies, teachings, and practice I’ve realized that 1) only present time is real, 2) we actually can go visit the un-real ‘places’ of the past and future and 3) when we do we’re not very powerful.

In other words, when we get caught up in the regrets of the past and anxieties of the future we give away a lot of our power to things/places/people that aren’t real.

In Clairvoyant Counseling readings, this looks like a dim spirit that’s not in the body. The body get’s all kinds of feelings about being left behind, usually manifesting as anxiety, and things happen in present time but we’re not there for them so they go kind of sideways.

As I looked at this, I realized that I’ve been doing a lot of abandoning my present time body recently.

Lots of trying to control for the immediate and distant future. A few regrets about the past; things I didn’t say or do quite to my liking. And plenty of self-punishing thoughts when things went wrong in my spirit’s absence, which is a whole other vast topic around spirits and bodies relating to each other.

So I asked myself, what’s does a fully present time New Year’s intention look like energetically?

I immediately saw the sweet spacious energy of self-love, and even deeper, self-forgiveness. How interesting, I thought. That sure doesn’t look like a new exercise regimen, cleansing diet, or even fancy new spiritual practice I might benefit from.

No, just the beautiful energy of a smile towards myself. And the golden sparkling energy of amusement at all the pickles I like to get myself in. And the crystal blue energy of (you guessed it) Christ’s forgiveness who loves to point out with a laugh the Great Cosmic Joke: that nothing was ever wrong and we were all together the whole time.

So that’s my present time New Year’s resolution for 2026. One that I can enjoy right now without having to wait for results in some distant future. May you find something just as simple, loving, and powerful for this turn around the sun.

I’ll meet you there.

2026 Teaching Series: Living the Gospel of John

They say that the best way to learn something is to teach it. And I’ve been really wanting to learn about the Gospel of John. Why is it so different from the other three gospels? What does it tell us about Jesus as the Christ? And what the heck is that wild Logos up to?

We’ll draw from a variety of sources; Hinduism, medieval mystical Christianity, Islamic texts, modern Clairvoyant studies, the Yogananda lineage of Sanatan Dharma, A Course in Miracles, the Desert Ammas and Abbas, their Gnostic pals, the Kabbalah, the Micheal Channel, and of course the Gospels themselves.

Theres’s also a healthy dose of my personal trainings and experiences with ancient shamanic lineages from Turtle Island, or the Americas.

And for the first time ever I’m teaching it all in once place. We’ll be going through the entire Gospel of John and I’ll tell you everything I know from four perspectives:

Liturgical/Pastoral - fancy words for church-style teaching
Metaphysical - what was Christ really up to?
Shamanic and Clairvoyant - how to actually do what Christ did
Full Nerd - you know me, we’re digging into the original Greek and Aramaic
