Professionals - Maybe No Accident that the Tower Card in Tarot Is Being Pulled More and More for You

 Passion. Before the burnout epidemic and the COVID-triggered reflection about work/life balance, the concept of passion was all-buzzy. Now, its use by employers and clients could be a red flag. The message could be sent: You will be exploited. Likely you could burn out. 

Today Abovethelaw publishes the email by law firm Akin Gump partner Stephen Baldini. He is chastising associates in the Litigation practice for not being more intense. For example, when a request goes out to assist with a project, too many, according to Baldini, are responding with: Already, too busy. 

This shunning of being totally there for the law firm could be becoming the new usual. 
The trend, as showcased on Subreddit Big Law, is to leverage a few years in a large firm as the credential for the Next. Many have deep-sixed the traditional goal of pulling out all stops to become partner. So, if you are making your billable hours quota and maintaining quality work products, why become intense? The hours are grueling enough. The tasks are complex. The deadlines frequently near-impossible. 

In giving Tarot readings to professionals the card coming up more and more is The Tower. That symbolizes change, including within one's own values, could be coming. 

Most of those professionals ask for a Tarot reading because they feel that force field taking taking shape internally. For less pressure and more time for themselves, they are even toying with the idea of a compensation haircut. 

Partner Baldini might be out-of-touch with the shift in values among a growing number of professionals.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
