130th Boston Marathon - Wikipedia


Every April, the streets of Boston come alive with one of the most storied races in the world: the Boston Marathon. First run in 1897, it stands as the oldest annual marathon, blending elite athleticism with deep tradition and community spirit.


Runners from across the globe gather in nearby towns and make their way toward the iconic finish line on Boylston Street. Along the route, crowds cheer relentlessly - none more famous than the students at Wellesley College, whose energy has become a defining moment for many participants.


But the marathon is more than a race. It's a symbol of resilience, especially in the years following the Boston Marathon bombing. The phrase "Boston Strong" continues to echo, reminding the world of the city's unity and strength.


Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the Boston Marathon remains a powerful reminder of endurance not just in sport, but in spirit.

New Moon 26° Pisces


The New Moon in Pisces arrives like a quiet tide, pulling us inward toward reflection, intuition, and emotional reset.


As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom and weight of everything that came before it.


This lunation isn't about bold beginnings in the usual sense - it's about release, surrender, and trusting what you feel more than what you can prove.


Under a Pisces New Moon, the boundaries between reality and imagination soften.


Dreams may feel more vivid, memories more present, and creativity more accessible.


It's an ideal time for journaling, meditation, or simply allowing yourself to drift without a rigid plan.


The energy encourages compassion - toward others, yes, but especially toward yourself.


There's also a subtle call to let go.


Pisces reminds us that not everything is meant to be controlled or fully understood.


Sometimes clarity comes not from forcing answers, but from allowing space for them to emerge.


Set intentions that focus less on achievement and more on alignment - peace, healing, forgiveness, and emotional clarity.


In the stillness of this New Moon, what you release may matter more than what you begin.


Whether outdoors or inside - take a moment to relax - and let go.


If you see it as fun - you will embrace the connection to something beyond this earthly experience that bounds the Human Journey to physical reality.


These energies will last for the next three days.

A Dualistic Experience in Emotions


To exist in physical reality is to grasp its bipolar, dualistic, electromagnetic (north-south) nature which unfolds through the concept of linear time as we experience it.


Within this framework (matrix), everything contains opposing qualities, commonly interpreted as positive and negative, right and wrong ...


Consider something like AI. Its impact is being viewed as both beneficial or detrimental depending on one's perspective and programming.


The same applies to the choices we make after filtering them through our intellectual and emotional lens.


Social media encourages criticism and judgment which plays well within our matrix created for the study of emotions. However you rate the value of argumentative behavior it's best to just let it all go because you're not going to change anything. People and reality invariably come to their own conclusions and actions by design.


Never forget that everything created has a positive and a negative aspect forever seeking a balanced outcome.


There are no absolutes. Reality just is. Relax. Take a deep breath. For better or worse in duality ... let life happen. You have no choice (no free will) because if you did how different would your life be.

Souls Who Travel Together


A soul is a spark of light that spirals into physical reality to experience human emotions.


Sometimes souls travel alone, other times with a partner (soulmates), and other times in what is called a soul group.


We have also come to understand that with soulmates - when one person dies - the other often dies shorter thereafter. This sometimes happens with humans and their pets after years of living together.


John Quinn, 64, the man in the pic above, came to me as a client many years ago when he was an Administrator at Tower Records in the Greenwich Village, NYC. Through the years we had many readings - among the highlights - the loss of his friend on 9/11 after which he wrote a book dedicated to her.


Through the years John attended many of my workshops. He never married - living at home with his parents - close to his five sisters and their families - some of who became my clients. John has had variously careers as an actor, author, and more.


Life happens and the years pass quickly.


This week John came to mind as I posted on Facebook so I decided to click over and see what he was up to. Apparently his father passed away last week on April 7 - and as we had discussed in a workshop about soulmates destined to spend a lifetime together - his mother passed five days later on April 12. I posted a message on John's Facebook wall and hope to catch up with him next week.


For those of you whose journey (programming) is that of parental caretaker - it is not always easy to figure out what comes next after your parents are gone. Luckily, John has a loving family to help him along the way.



Soulmate Files




The Trump-Jesus Images


Trump has shared two AI-generated images on Truth Social this week that involve religious themes, sparking significant debate among his supporters and critics. On Sunday, April 12, 2026 (Orthodox Easter) Trump posted the image above that appears to depict him in the likeness of Jesus Christ.


Many conservative Christians and religious leaders called the image "blasphemous" especially as this occurred alongside his ongoing public feud with Pope Leo XIV, whom Trump recently criticized.


The image also goes along with his mania that he is the only person who can save the world. Some people have now labeled him the antichrist.


Following the initial controversy, Trump shared a second image on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, which took a different approach. This image depicts Jesus Christ embracing Trump.


Both figures have their eyes closed in a moment of prayer or peace, set against the backdrop of an American flag.


Trump captioned the post: "The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!". Supporters originally shared the image with captions suggesting Trump was "God's Trump card" against what they described as "demonic" forces.


Trump gets more bizarre by the day as he approaches 80. From now until the November mid-term elections - which could upend his control - one has to wonder what madness he will create to get attention and divert the nation and the world away from his mistakes and diversions - and diversions from his diversions. Let is pray.




Melania Vents - Barron Trump Finding Himself



I didn't post or comment on Melania's message to the world last week - but it was obvious that something triggered her. Looking at her decision making over the last few decades, the most important thing to Melania is her biological family - and her son, Barron Trump, now 20 - and resembling his father at that age.


It has been speculated that Barron is on the spectrum based on public appearances and personality traits - to which I agree as a former Special Ed teacher and therapist Combine this with the fact that he is 6'9" tall - and his father is Donald Trump - it can't be easy for a young man trying to find his way in today's society.


Like many challenged young people, he would take a holistic approach to his future goals - sometimes guided by Melania who has always shielded and protected him from the limelight and his father's notoriety.


Barron is Gen Z - adults navigating a uniquely challenging landscape, marked by widespread mental health struggles and constant digital pressure. As the first true generation of digital natives, many face social media-driven stress and isolation - with more than 40% reporting ongoing anxiety or depression. I believe older generations dealt with the same emotional problems, but they just were not as widely recognized and discussed.


So what is Barron doing today? He allegedly spent his freshman year in NYC attending NYU's Stern School of Business then shifted his studies to NYU's Washington, D.C. program during his sophomore year.


College may not be for him. Other Gen Zs have also come to the same conclusion - not to spend four years in college without a goal or job opportunity at the end - and heavily in debt.


Climate change, the mistakes of past generations, a world in chaos, digital global connections, and intuitive feelings of End Times - sends them on a journey of self discovery - to fulfill their destiny as it unfolds.


Gen Z continues the pattern of healing and energy complete with holistic venues. Today Barron is director and co-founder of SOLLOS Yerba Mate - a Palm Beach, Florida-based lifestyle beverage startup launching in May 2026 - featuring a ready-to-drink, pineapple and coconut-flavored herbal energy drink offering a clean alternative to traditional energy drinks.


Now let's get to Melania and the Epstein Files. On Thursday April 9, 2026 - the day Melanie called the press conference - it was obvious something triggered her. One can only speculate that her behavior was a result of everything having to do with the secrets in the Epstein Files and what will be revealed about her.


Somebody said something to her that day - perhaps it was Barron - which was the final straw and she exploded - equivalent to pulling the tab off a can which releases pressure. If the can has been shaken - much like Melania's emotions - it can erupt in a violent spray of energy.




I first heard about Eric Swalwell years ago when he occasionally appeared on MCNBC at the time of Trump's impeachment proceedings.


The first time I heard his name I immediately associated it with a sex scandal for no apparent reason. After googling the name - and others like it - I found nothing. And so I moved on.


Now years later, I can put the pieces of the puzzle together. Perhaps what I saw was something in his future - because I didn't know anything about his criminal activities with women. As always, we feel bad for the victims and Swalwell's family.
