TODAY, is the first Saturday I have been "off" without a reason in over 6.5 years. It is Leap Day. And selling the salon (as well as buying it!) was a leap of faith.
May this be the year something tugs at your heart and you too, take a leap of faith.

A little Bruce on Saturday.
It takes a leap of faith to get things going
It takes a leap of faith you gotta show some guts
It takes a leap of faith to get things going
In your heart you must trust

I have always had a basement. Many years ago it was renamed the Magic Basement when my friend Kathy called me to ask me if I had an almond paste. For whatever reason, I actually did. Go figure. SHE is the one who said, "you have a Magic Basement," and it stuck.

• It has been home to Halloween parties.
• The kids rode their bikes down here when they were little.
• The kids played off the wall when they were young.
• I hosted many a Stamp Camp for nearly ten years when I was doing all things Stampin' Up!
• I believe the Girl Scouts were here for a couple of events.
• My friend Jen announced we could run a small country down here when we were all knee deep in the land of PTA fundraising.
• ​School projects were created here.
• College sorority "Little gifts" were created here.
• Many a Christmas gift has been wrapped here.
• One billion loads of laundry have been done here and will continue to be done here.

In the summer of 2012 I dreamed up a place called The Glass House Retreat. TGHR for short. It was a virtual space in my head that confused ABSOLUTELY everybody because it wasn't a physical space. Except it kind of was. 
I wrote a blog every single day for over a year.
Then, I bought a salon. And the blogging had to stop because people needed to be paid and I had to put my energies into making sure that happened. 
Well, the salon is sold and here we are.
I decided late last year I wanted to move everything to maggiepinque.com in order to make finding me simple. I wanted to do everything that runs across the top of this page - read cards, create vision boards, run retreats, clear spaces, continue healing people using energy and whatever else struck my fancy.
To read all the old posts, I invite you to take a gander on over to TGHR where I've left up the blog posts.
​I invite you to subscribe to these new posts via the feed.
And I invite you to come on over! Come get your cards read. Come create a vision board. Contact me if you've got pain that just won't go away in your head - that seems to be where my best results are. I can clear spooky spaces. I can marry you and perform any other ceremony  you might want me to. I can create a marvelous retreat. Come have a cup of coffee or tea. Just come!
I am very much looking forward to sharing life, once again, from the Magic Basement.
​It's so good to be back.

Seems like the right song.
