Curious Cat
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

Celebrating YOU - Your Own Uniqueness
The other morning, I woke up to snow and filled my little journal with psycho-pop fluorescent snowflake sketches. Each flake was a unique configuration, it's own work of art. Fragile. Temporary beauties that melt away with the slightest drop in temperature.
We're like that. Unique. Unlike anyone else on the planet. Even if we are a twin. Even if our DNA strand is exactly the same. Our experience and point of view is one of a kind.
Why am I shining a spotlight on this? Because herd mentality has become all too trendy in the last three years. And hand-in-hand with that is a collective squashing of the individual. Yes, we're living at a time when everyone has the ability to put themselves out there - share their story - on Facebook or Substack or Insta or TikTok - you name it, but at the EXACT SAME TIME many are being shamed into believing their perspective isn't worth putting out there. Why? Because it is quote, too mainstream or normal. What a damn shame. I'm all about exploring the opposite of the norm - and that’s got me worried about individual voices vanishing.
Each of us is on a soul journey. We are all on specific and very individualized adventures. And integral to that is to remember and honor who you are, what your gifts and lessons are. And THAT is why I'm shining a light on celebrating YOU this week - Your Own Uniqueness.
