The Milk of Human Kindness - As Social Justice Goes Poof

 During the Industrial Revolution chronicler of that brutal era - novelist Charles Dickens - decided that the only way through was this: the milk of human kindness. He himself had been badly roughed up in his youth. At a tender age his parents sent him to work in a factory. Dickens never forgot the humiliation. There weren't institutions to turn to, only fellow human beings.

Our time is being called The New World Order. The whole essence of getting, holding and moving on to better jobs is collapsing. And there aren't enough institutions to help ease the transition. What had gone before - all those progressive social justice initiatives - are being dismantled. 

I vividly recall one of them. That was the free digital Covid relief project. Chair of law firm Paul Weiss Brad Karp mobilized thousands of lawyers at firms throughout the US to work pro bono to set up an online resource where people and businesses, blindsided by the plague, could find help. When I blogged about that amazing bit of professional generosity I got to meet Karp. Along the years he followed that up with other kinds of altruistic outreach. So little of that is possible currently, not in spirit, not in the concrete. 

The good news is that there is a softening toward each other, especially for what seems like such stupid mistakes. 

How about those who left good jobs to matriculate for the MBA at Harvard and wound up among the 23% who didn't have a job offer three months after graduation. The message we're giving them is: Be gentle with yourself. And that isn't toxic positivity.

This week I got a call from a couple who had found my wallet before I even realized I had lost it. They delivered it to my residential complex and would not accept money. They also told me not to feel foolish. We're all a bunch of screwups.

We ordinary people are the new magicians, transforming pain into connection, along with downright help. 


Specifically, the tarot teaches the magic of self-forgiveness as well as forgiving others for being screwups. We all are exactly where we should be. And we will have what we need.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

We Are All Paul Weiss - And Now We Are Different

Image
 Paul Weiss has been the tipping point.  The Executive Order by the current administration - the third issued - got to us. How vulnerable we all are to power. Forget the grade school lessons about what America is about. Forget how university deans caved during our counterculture protests.  Yes, and forget "rights"  as being sacred. Here's what we now know. The key driven in that EO was that a lawyer who had been a partner at Paul Weiss years ago - Mark Pomerantz - had landed on the US President's enemies list. Of course there were other things about Paul Weiss, such as its mission for diversity, which didn't sit well with MAGA ideology. But that stuff probably was small potatoes. Pomerantz was the trouble spot. How obvious it became: We are all Paul Weiss.  Conversations I have with tarot-card clients, what I read in the media and what's turning up on professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl scream one message: Everyone can be a target for politica...

Luckiest Generation Could Become The Homeless Generation

  Boomers had it all. Higher education was cheap. The Post-WWII economy hit a gigantic growth spurt just when that generation was ready to start careers. Corporate America with its opportunities, great pay and great benefits welcomed them. They earned enough to become investors and had fun watching the Dow every day.  Now, as I'm hearing in tarot readings, that luckiest generation fears winding up homeless. PBS reports: "As baby boomers age into senior citizens, a series of recessions and the lack of a strong social safety net have pushed more and more elderly people into homelessness — a number that’s only expected to rise." The recessions in the 21st century have been especially brutal and the world could be heading into another one. The investments haven't been doing so hot this week. Too many made the mistake of listening to their feelings and retiring too early, not anticipating they might live into their 90s. Therefore, the monthly Social Security check is low...
