Sherlianne

Intuitive Consultations, Literary Open Mics, Books & CDs

Sher Christian works with people who are needing to make a big decision and are feeling confused and stuck. She helps them get clear what the truth is for them and make decisions with ease, which allows their enthusiasm, juiciness, and passion to return. Sher works through intuitive phone or Skype consultations in which she asks about the situation that needs to be resolved. 

Contact Sher for more information and to make an appointment. 

Sher has been an accomplished intuitive since 1987. She is a published poet and avid storyteller. 

"I am grateful for Sher Christian's gentle skill in connecting with me and intuitively guiding me to find my own clarity.  I had been searching for  direction about decisions to be made and Sher asked just the right questions to lead me to my own answers.  She guided me in a process to choose one of her poems that spoke to me deeply and added greater depth to my understanding."  

 Kathryn Brewer, Family Mentor, LMFT

Coyote Nights

May summer embrace you
like a returned lover,
Wrap you in moments that trill through time like crickets at dusk.
I wish you nights of coyotes
howling at the moon,
warm evenings of crooning,
days that lavish you with fun,
picnics, parties, parades,
fireworks that dazzle.
May you swim in singing rivers,
oceans that sway with forests of kelp, make promises you’ll love to keep.
Might ice cream rich and luscious
grace your lips
and forget to pad your hips.
May the magic of summer live in your heart, where the cold winds of winter
can never touch all that we love.

Haiku by Sher Christian

Moon rises over

desert, ocean, forest, me.

Indiscriminate.

 

Sun through the window

touches the floor with softness

comforts my sad heart.

Intuitive phone sessions, Photo Haiku, Open Mic

I'm available for intuitive phone sessions to help understand and transcend challenges and lessons. My poetry enriches and deepens the meaning. Email me for an appointment.

I've been having fun writing haiku inspired by photos. Here's one I wrote to go with my husband's photo.

The Miracle of My Life

I ache and sunshine lights my home.
I despair and awareness coaxes me
toward other choices.
I complain at unfairness and failure
while opportunities for learning abound.
I yearn for more,
yet my cupboards burst with belongings.
I resent unkindness while loving compassion
beats against the inner walls of my heart.
I grieve for mistakes and losses
and the miracle of my life shines
like a Christmas tree, twinkling.
I yearn for something different
and the moment contains
a fullness of grace and wonder
that waits to be received.
