We try hard to post on a regular basis, but time flies, so forgive us if we are tardy in our posts.☺ Our posts are mostly about local happenings but sometimes include news/events from afar… We enjoy spreading the word for small business’s and those with creative fun hobbies, and we advertise for free… We sell services such as emailed tarot card readings, and astrology charts, we have a combined astro-reading which includes a tarot reading and a month by month horoscope.
