Delays

Category: availability | Leave a Comment

I’m sorry for the lack of posts here for a while.
We spent a good portion of this week at the children’s hospital because my son was hurt on Sunday.
I’m pleased to report that he is doing very well, as healthy as can be expected and well down the road to recovery, but his care means […]

Occupational License

Category: business, tarot | Leave a Comment

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time to renew my license. I just got the letter in the mail. $225 for the license, that’s just for county. Our county has the ruling that you have to have city & county license if you’re operating within a city.
The arrival of the letter has spurred […]

Telemarketers

Category: beware, business | Leave a Comment

I found a great site 800 notes which allows you to look up numbers which call you. I’ve had several which seem like they’ll be telemarketers because they have a number and a “Unknown” name, and they say, “Hello?” “I don’t know, I don’t hear anything.” I thought that was a one-off until I looked […]

Firsts!

Category: about me, business, hypnotherapy | Leave a Comment

I’ve had my first…I’m not sure if flame or trollish comment is the more appropriate phrase there. Someone commenting three times on my “Ask Catriona answer about being hypnotized over the internet.
Two of the comments looked like just random keyboard mashing. The last one which I approved had opinion, but no reasoning. I tried to […]

It figures…

Category: availability, beware, recommends | Leave a Comment

…the first time since we moved that I get a call that might actually be a client, we apparently can’t hear each other (or it was another crank call).
On the other hand they also sounded a lot like the people from the “alternate yellow pages” who keep calling and trying to find out if I […]

What do you sell?

Category: business | Leave a Comment

I find with the company name there are a lot of assumptions going on about what we sell, and even those classic people who will tell me that I’m wrong and that I must do something different to that which I do.
Generally people assume that we’re a DIY store, or something akin to “Bed, […]

Interfaith

Category: about me, faith | 4 Comments

My marriage turns heads in pretty much every community. Sometimes my husband and I have a little fun with it. I openly wear a pentacle around my neck and now also have one tattooed on my arm along with an ankh.
He wears crosses when we go out because he is Catholic. No two ways about […]

Ask Catriona: Can you Hypnotize Me Over the Net?

Category: ask catriona, hypnotherapy | 2 Comments

This is another one of those, asked over IM a LOT questions, that I thought I should post an answer to on here just so that I can get it out of my system.
Can you hypnotize me now? Over the IM? Why not?
The short answer to this is “No”.
The explanatory answer is that […]

Reworking “Fees”

Category: availability, business, tarot | Leave a Comment

I’ve been changing things around this morning to try and make the site easier to navigate. I’ve made myself an “email me” button which you can now see in the side bar. I got the idea from Retta at Thoughts out of My Head, and realized what a brilliant idea it was to make things […]

Ask Catriona: Are Some People Unable to be Hypnotized?

Category: ask catriona, hypnotherapy | Leave a Comment

Haley from Haley Starr: My Orbiting Existence asked me this a few days ago.
A few years ago, I was seeing a hypnotherapist. Unfortunately, she did not help me whatsoever. I just could not seem to get relaxed enough to go under.
I always wondered if it was me, or if it was the hypnotherapist. Is […]
