What's Next

Recently, I brought back Tarot of the Day and to be honest I'm just not feeling it. So, I'm going to discontinue that feature of the blog once more. For the time being I'm still leaving the door open for private readings, but may change my mind about that later. I've been finding myself feeling frazzled...even more important...feeling as though I haven't been true to myself or respectful of my own needs.

What do I need to be doing more of? Writing, knitting, doing tai chi, meditating, and just working on finding more balance in my life. As of late my life has been a whirling mass of neglecting my own stuff until I am stuck in bed for days because I've worked myself into a flare up. Not only is this not healthy, it's also counter intuitive in my mission to help others. How can I be any good to anyone when I'm not being good to myself? In a word...can't!

So, look for more writing, more knitting, more of all of the things which make me who I am. I've been hitting the spiritual work so hard that I haven't been nurturing my creative side and frankly...my muse is pissed. Doing all this heavy hitting spiritually is making me tired. It's time to bring out the lighter side...the less serious me. 

Does this mean that I'm done helping others? No, I'll never be done with that. I'm just ready to change the approach. I fully believe that we can do important work and fully enjoy life at the same time. I don't have it all figured out yet, but I'm working on it. I want my work to be uplifting and inspiring, not to feel like this heavy load of seriousness. Of course there is a time and place for everything...which brings us back to one little word doesn't it? Balance. 

Tarot of the Day for June 13, 2013

We are in a period of vast changes. If we listen to our intuition and are courageous, we can make our way into a better situation. Remember to look to the divine for guidance. When we try to go it alone, we often find ourselves feeling adrift. We are never alone...please keep that in mind. Ask for help...it's alright to do so. This isn't to say that we aren't responsible for our own actions and decisions...just that help and guidance are there.

Today's reading has two things in common with yesterday's. One is to pay close attention to our dreams for answers. Two is that answers will be coming from unexpected sources. So, continue to be mindful of these two factors.

Glow

The golden light filtering through tender green leaves
Reminds me of the glow around my heart when you walked into the room,
Smiling that smile which has the sparkle of the sun and mystique of the moon
Filled with enough light to brighten the darkest night
Enough to reach into the deepest recesses
Those long dormant neglected spaces, seemingly forgotten
But maybe just quietly lying in wait for that moment
In which twilight has just begun to arrive,
When the light and shadows blend into a moment
Where magic is possible.
