Many friends, family, and fellow Fraser Valley residents from the 90s will remember Ralph the psychic.

He lived in a small apartment in White Rock and was an incredible reader. We all loved visiting him.

Isn’t it amusing how reluctant we sometimes feel to express our “ woo” side? My kids freely tattoo their bodies with images that symbolize this time in their lives, while I hesitate to share my expanding understanding of life.
