This deep and woodsy oil started showing up in my readings a few years ago and I spent some time trying to find a pure enough source for my clients. Young Living to the Rescue!
Ten Pine trees, two red pines and eight white pines, later and a graceful screen is growing, beautiful and beneficial.
The soft needle pines are amazing trees. All year round they filter and clear the air, produce oxygen and add negative ions to the air (the point of each needle acts like a gentle negative ion generator).
Sometimes you need a little bit of a Kick. I've been "working" on my next meditation cd (working title - Further Up The Stairs) for almost a year now. I picked a format, that's about it. I needed a deadline and a budget and Kickstarter has given me the opportunity for both.
You can Help Make This Happen by joining in on the fun and backing this project! Kickstarter is a way for artists, creative types and psychics (me) to get venture capital and distributed financing for creative projects on a deadline, cuz nothing gets done without a deadline.
March 8th
All or nothin Folks. Either the project gets fully funded or it doesn't happen and I need your help to creat this meditation cd.
But Wait, There's More!
You can receive Fabulous Prizes! Yes, every donation and every backer gets something and I've put a lot of thought and effort into these rewards, but I may have missed something. Whadda want? If there is a creative reward I haven't offered and you want (within reason) let me know.
This Project Will Succeed With Your Help!
Tell your friends, make new ones and tell them too. Here's the skinny:
I am incredibly excited to share my new Kickstarter Project with you - Further Up The Stairs! Kickstarter is a great new way to fund creative projects and recieve Fabulous Prizes - it's like your own PBS pledge drive.
The way Kickstarter works is once a project has been created anyone can donate to the project and at each donation level (10, 17, 23...) are reward prizes created by me for you. It is only after the project is fully funded that donations are collected and rewards are sent, so I need your help!
About the Project
I started working on this the moment my first cd was finished.
Ideas chased each other around my head and I kept thinking, how can I make this next project be More? More ideas, more journeys, more exploration for you and me.
In this 4 track CD, Further Up the Stairs, I will be talking about why we meditate, how we can expand our understanding of our place in the Universe and leading two mediations – Broken Pieces and Further Up the Stairs. This new CD will have new music from local musicians, original photography and incorporate everything I have learned in this past year about spirituality and our connection to the Divine.
This time I want to go deeper into your soul, gathering up the broken pieces, clearing away the damage and loss of your past and helping you to live in the ever unfolding now. Healing those parts of your past broken by pain, loss and strife and helping you to be healed and whole.
I also want to take you out, into the wider Universe, going further up the stairs to meet with Spirit Guides, commune with your Higher Self and sit with your connection to the Divine.
You are so much greater than you ever imagined ~ More intuitive, connected and powerful than you know. Your path may be rocky, smooth, straight or windy, but it is yours and yours alone, not mine or anybody else's. I am here to help you along your path, and we can start walking it together.

Since closing Blue Dragon Beauty in 2009 I've been searching for a source of essential oils, soaps and natural products good enough to offer to my clients and friends. Young Living is good enough. In fact, it's better than good – These products are fantastic.
I use these oils, I recommend them and the Young Living Products have started showing up in my readings. If you've been missing Blue Dragon Beauty, Young Living has the natural beauty and health solutions for you.
Check back often, or join the new BDB newsletter, to find recipes from my readings, product reviews and classic content from the BDB archives including new and classic articles by StarBeam, the Magical Typing Pony.
Welcome Back to Blue Dragon Beauty and Young Living – Living Young, Naturally.
Naturally Yours,
In 2003 I started Blue Dragon Beauty as a hobby. I'd always loved herbs and natural products and, trapped in a NYC apartment where I couldn't garden, soaps and herbs seemed like a fun idea. I was good at it. Finding combinations that were not only fragrant and wonderful, but also helped people turned this little hobby into a business that began to take much of my focus and when I moved back to Ohio in 2004 I made Blue Dragon Beauty my main business.
Looking back now, Blue Dragon Beauty was my stepping-stone back into the psychic world. I started giving psychic Readings professionally in 1993 (I got paid $10 for that first Reading to my Mom's best friend. Prices have increased since then.), but moving to NYC was my attempt at being a normal person. I did very little psychic work and didn't teach or lecture – I worked in an office and wore a tie. It was awful.
My talents and abilities still leaked out in strange and new ways and Blue Dragon Beauty was one of those ways (reading minds on the subway was another).
