The Devil, The Lovers, and Me by Kimberlee Auerbach

I picked this book up and didn't close it until I was completely finished. It was so amusing and interesting. Fed up with her life and her boyfriend who refuses to "pop the question" Kimmi sought answers from a wise but chic tarot card reader named Iris. Through her readings, Kimmi was able to make tough decisions and see her life in a different light. She gained understanding of different events and looked at the past with a different perspective.



Kimberlee is hilarious and things she writes in her book will have you laughing out loud. That's LOL to those who like to abbreviate. You have to love a girl who names her blog Kimmiland. Take a peek and watch her videos. Boy, does Kimmi love to laugh! She is full of happiness and life. If a book, a blog and her one woman show isn't enough, you can also join Kimmi here.



Here is the Amazon link and a blurb of the book:
During a dark period of her life, when she felt stuck in her job after seven years, and stymied in a relationship with a loving man who still wouldn't pop the question, the author, at 33, visited a clairvoyant in order to find out what the future held for her. Iris was not a typical tarot reader, but heavily into Kabbalah, and she navigated for Auerbach a reading of the 22 Major Arcana.



How much belief do you have in tarot cards?
I don't think of them as a tool for divination. I like to use them as a lens with which to see your life in a different way.

Do you believe our lives are mapped out for us or can we veer off course and change our lives at any time?
I believe we all have free will and can change our lives and outlook in any moment. I also believe that we live in a chaotic, crazy, fucked up, but beautiful world where we have little control, so as much as we have choice and can contribute to creating a particular reality, we also have to go with the flow, roll with the punches and make the best out of the shit that happens.

What do you think about the idea of having a "soul mate"?
I think a "soul mate" is anyone who touches your soul, be it sexual, romantic, platonic, or all of the above. Different people touch different parts of our souls. And thank God for that.

What made you write this book?
I wanted to tell this story in a big way and help other people, women in particular, feel better about their own unique journeys.

Do you have any hobbies?...what are they?
Pole-dancing, Flamenco dancing, taking pictures, fucking around in Photoshop, cooking. And I love, love, love going to the Sacred Center of New York.

What's the last book you read?
A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle--it kicked my ass in the best possible way.

Name your favorite five films that you could watch over and over again.
When Harry Met Sally, Out of Africa, Defending Your Life, Terms of Endearment, The Goodbye Girl.

Do you think you might write another book? I love your humor!
Thanks, and yes, I want to write another book. Perhaps self help next. And a few screenplays, for sure.
