The 3-Legged Dog, A Trial Lawyer Who Has Epiphanies and Lifting from the Legs

Bentley is 10 years old, has only 3 legs and, unlike the other canines in the shelter, wasn't doing anything to sell himself. 

After 20 years away from animal rescue, I knew I had to spring into action. Bentley probably sensed the importance of the meet-and-greet and made the smart pawing/licking moves. Off he was to the sofa in his forever home on December 4, 2025.


Maybe it was the adrenaline rush of getting sprung from the shelter. Whatever. He had no initial trouble with the 7 steps from my apartment to the outside. Then he did. 

It was obvious that I would have to relocate to true ground floor housing. But there were 2 things. 1) I was not ready to pull up these just-planted rootlings and 2) I would have to pony up 2 months rent to exit the lease prematurely. That would be on the top of the purchase of a car, pricey dental work and just last week paying back the IRS for the $1,400 + interest that was sent to me in 2025 in error. 

I did tarot card spreads on this keep-you-up-too-many-nights situation. Over and over again The Chariot card would appear.


It symbolizes having confidence in there being a solution. Don't hold on too tight. Sometimes that's called The Sacred Pause. Stop. Let the universe open its secrets to you.

Simultaneously I recalled (A Jungian I believe there are no coicidences) an article I read in 2010. That was when I was coaching junior lawyers struggling to find a soft landing during the fallout from The Great Recession.

It was in SuperLawyers. The subject was how iconic litigation lawyer Brad Karp at law firm Paul, Weiss approaches cases. This quote stuck with me:

“'You cannot take anything for granted,' Karp says of representing financial giants. 'In difficult matters, I will think about my clients’ problems night and day until a solution emerges. I’m a big believer in late-night epiphanies.'”

I plugged into that mystical force field of knowing there is a solution.

Paused, the epiphany came to me. 

I could lift Bentley and carry him up the 7 stairs. Not easy, though.

I'm five feet and "at my age" don't have a lot of upper body strength. But, again there are no coincidences. I also recalled a former baseball star telling me: Jane, lift from the legs, not the back. You can hoist an elephant.

So, I'm off the hook for early-lease-termination penalty. This situation, though, has an amazing silver lining. Since we will have to move any way, Bentley and I can position and package this as an adventure. Today we drove around looking at ground floor apartments. Then, another ephiphany: No need to stay local. No longer is a romance keeping me here. 


Yes, fresh start, after a broken heart. In the spirit of that I deactivated my Facebook page. The 2 of us can be anyone we want in our next.

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. ...

Aging - Holding On To Sense Of A Self

Image
  The Wall Street Journal fingers retirement for the epidemic of a loss of self among the aging.  However, the process can kick in as soon as anyone senses they are no longer young. Gone is their youthful self. Denying aging, they don't invest in creating a new self - and continually bringing up to date that identity. By time there is a shift from a demanding career to part-time, freelance, entrepreneurial or no work there is no emotional, physical and spiritual platform to keep building on. In the Tarot there are myriad cards which salute moving on and breaking free from the past, even though there is so much uncertainty about the present and the future.  My favorite card for that is the Eight of Cups. It is commonly called The Walking Away card. I prefer to refer to it as The Walking Toward card.  Cups symbolize emotion. There is certainly lots of that in leaving the past behind. The mountains stand for the unknowns. The sitting position recommends not rushing the...

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...
