Where I've Been

It’s been a long time.

Months even. I’ve not had the time or energy to fire up the ol’ Substack to lay some thoughts down for those who might be interested. Still, now that I have some major projects behind me, I wanted to come back here to offer a glimpse into the madness of the past few months, what it means for me, and most especially what it means for you.

I’m about to share some personal information, but before I do, I want to remind people that, as strange and unusual as my path and profession are, I’m still a pretty normal guy. At a recent live event, I was signing a book for someone, and their hands were shaking so badly that they were nervous about meeting me, as if I were a celebrity!

My life isn’t normal, but my everyday life is. My husband and I have a business called Deep Earth Arts, and we’ve had it since 2018. Deep Earth Arts is the place that I’ve been able to offer my services, and Isaac his, and it’s served as a pretty solid retail space for us as well. When I say that my everyday life is pretty normal, I still eat and sleep like everyone else. I still put my pants on one leg at a time, we still wash our dishes and do our laundry and sweep our floors.

Here’s the history of Deep Earth Arts as a physical location. When I started doing readings in 2017, I began by setting up at local coffee shops and cafes, including the Juicy Girls Juice Bar, which is no longer around. I offered readings at their space, but eventually rented their downstairs space as they weren’t using it.

I couldn’t stand up straight in it. Well, I could, if I stood between the floor rafters! I had a space to offer readings, and Isaac had a space to offer Reiki. We soon outgrew this space, moving down and across Main Street in Littleton, to a space under Crumb Bum bakery. We moved in the fall of 2018, having spent only a couple of months under the Juicy Girls Juice Bar, and the space beneath Crumb Bum served us well. We went from one basement under the Juicy Girls to another under Crumb Bum.

Until we started getting weird feelings. At the beginning of 2020, we felt like something was up with our space. We were out of lease and thought maybe we were going to be booted to make room for something else. We found out about another space on Cottage Street for rent, and even though our rent was going up by literally 600%, we thought it was a good move, especially with how we were feeling.

In February of this year, I announced the second volume in that series, titled You Are the Crossroads, coming out this June 13th. I planned four months to put together the blogs that would make up a majority of the book, add whatever I needed, and get it through the editing process and ready for delivery on June 13. How silly.

No sooner had I announced the book than our life was upended, and this time by another feeling. I describe what happened to us, that sense of being pushed, at the beginning of 2020, right before the Lockdown. That feeling was with us again, and we knew what it was this time.

Happily, our dream space was available for rent. A space on Main Street, under Gold House Pizza, the owner of which was a marketing client for several years, when that’s all I did. Now Deep Earth Arts is under Gold House Pizza in Littleton, but what a tremendous, months-long job it was. For our new space, our son put in new flooring, we painted the walls, put in new ceiling tiles, added shelves, and made it our home.

What a place it is, but I struggle to put into words how much of a task it was to move that business. Full workdays followed by painting and moving, and I have no idea how many totes and boxes of materials we brought home because of this move. Six years in one space and stuff accumulates, supplies for workshops held long ago, cleaning supplies, and market decorations. A LOT came home, a lot more than what ended up in our new space.

But we made it. April 4th, 2026, was the day we reopened our doors, but we still had a ton of stuff at our old space. We were cleaning and mopping our old space right up until the last afternoon hours of the last day of May, and, to be perfectly frank, our house, porch, and basement are all so packed with stuff.

But we made it.

Back in a basement, back in the deep earth. Strange how we had that same feeling to move our business, and then major world stuff happened. Right after we made this move, the whole fiasco with Iran happened and drove gas prices way up. Because of our new spot, we’ve had so much more walk–in business, and so many people are finding out about us through our window signage.

Truly, truly blessed.

And overworked, let me tell you. As soon as we finished emptying and cleaning out our old space, and May 1st hit, I was committed to my book process. I had my book up for presale, and plenty of people had purchased it. There was absolutely no way I was going to fail in the process of living up to that release date, and I’m happy to say that the book is on its way.

As far as the book goes, I can’t tell you how happy I am to have this out in the world. As a medium, not only do I work to bring peace and healing to the living, but also to those who are in Spirit. This book’s goal is to help both the living and those in Spirit to connect in a more meaningful way, but the really important question when it comes to my book is this:

Wanna take a road trip with me?

At the beginning of the book, you’ll meet me in the morning at our rendezvous meeting point. We’ll take off on our adventure, chatting about book one. As we make our way to our breakfast spot, we’ll go through the first eleven chapters, exploring the basics of spirit communications, including altars, divination, and working with ancestors.

We’ll take a break and have some breakfast at the diner after Chapter 11. The next leg of our adventure will cover the next eleven chapters, bringing us from the diner to the next stop on our journey. On this leg, we’ll talk about our “energy body,” why using the word “empath” is most often a pitfall, along with warnings of the types of predatory “spiritual” people folks can cross paths with.

After the diner, we’ll spend time at an antique store, full of treasures. After we leave, the next eleven chapters cover topics such as gods and angels, land spirits, the fine folk of faery, and how to interact with all of them to help live a life of balance, joy, and sustenance. After this leg of our journey, we’ll land at a roadside motel to crash for the night.

Almost a decade of experience. Thousands of hours of readings and working with spirits of all kinds. Over 300 pages. Over 60,000 words. 33 chapters, and after each chapter, you’ll get a “Crossroads Companion” piece, with an easy, “to-do” action step that anyone can accomplish.

Every bit of this is as down-to-earth and accessible as I could ever hope to make it. I could only hope that anyone could pick up both of these books and walk away changed. I believe leading a spiritual life is for anyone and that’s what these books are about, meant for everyone from the mechanic to the mystic, pirate to preacher.

Because this book is a road trip of sorts, there’s not a table of contents, but an itinerary. We’ll go from point A to B to Z and have a strange, wonderful time doing so.

I’m hosting a signing party all day on Saturday, June 13th, at Deep Earth Arts in Littleton. Cookies. Stickers. Giveaways.

If you can’t make it to the book launch party, you can grab a signed copy here, and thanks a zillion to everyone who’s grabbed a copy so far! Now that our big move and my big book are behind me, I aim to be here more often, recounting strange stories that happen during readings and live events, and all the other wonderful ways Spirit wants to help us here in life.

As always, thank you for being here.

I’ll see you at the crossroads.
