Your Card - “Express Your Individuality” - Allow your true self to shine because you’re awesome!

So even though I didn't do card pulls on the weekend, I still see a theme following through from last week.  Following our heart, finding our joy and now expressing our individuality.

I know for me and it's been pointed out to me by a few people, that I don't allow my true self to shine.  Maybe it's because when I did as a kid, I got made ridiculed and such, so over time I've learned to shield the real me from others.

I have been trying to get back to that point before I got pulled into myself.  It's hard to do, when you work and have to be a certain way at work, then be a mom and wife, before yourself.  So because of all those time constraints, the core me gets pushed under.

I guess I need to and the card is reminding me, that I need to incorporate the real me into the other me(s).  Because I do believe that if I let the real me shine, the others will fall into place and I'll be a much happier person.  

Besides, who wouldn't want to be happier in who they are and what they're doing, as long as they were true to themselves?  How many people do you think you could affect being like that?

Rainy Days and ... Fridays?

Wait.. that isn't right, shouldn't it be Mondays?  At least the Carpenters says so.  I however, feel a smidgen of hope that spring is coming, because it's RAINING, not SNOWING.  I just hope the temps stay up enough so we don't do the lovely "mix".

Regardless, we should never worry too much about rain.  It's nourishing to the earth and replenishes the water here on planet earth.  Plus it's washing the car without costing anything :D

If you can't tell it's raining here today.  It's supposed to do that most of the weekend.  When you have 3 kids, that can get ugly at times being cooped up in the house.   I now wonder if the card draw I did this morning was influenced by the rain happening here.  The water card.  This is where we need to deal with our emotions.  Think about your moods, are you happier when it's sunny and warm or rainy and kind of cold?  Most of us I would probably say are happier when it's sunny.  So what can you do when it's a bit more depressing to make the world happier.  It all starts at home with ourselves.

Me, one of the things that brings me joy is dancing.  Unfortunately, with my back being the way it has for awhile now, I don't get to do it as often, and with not being able to dance and being in pain, it kind of has had me in a more depressed state.

I still listen to music.  I'm just not always sure that is a good thing when I'm hurting because I want to dance and can't.  But I still do it.  Figuring how many people are in wheelchairs and can't "dance".  Yet they enjoy music.  And music does help me express my emotions better. 

I also like watching shows/movies, readings and doing my graphic art.  Sometimes I even will go look at different images on the web to try and make me happy.  Then of course if that fails, I go spend time tickling my kids so that they laugh and that usually works.

Light lemon yellow I associate with true happiness.  So I try and envision that as well.


So how about all of you?  What things and colors make you happy?  How can you incorporate into your daily life to try and take some stress off you and make your life just a little happier?

Card for Friday, March 28, 2014

You may be faced with a complex decision, and it's difficult to choose between the options available to you.  Do the research necessary or seek counsel from a mentor.

Look at the cups in the water.  Which one are you drawn to?  Each cup/color represents a particular Chakra and has a different meaning for you:

Red = home, money and security
Orange = creativity, addictions and sexuality
Yellow = power and control
Green = love and healing
Light Blue = communication and truth-telling
Dark Blue = visions and psychic abilities
Purple = spirituality

Water to me represents the emotional turmoil we often go through.  It can be calm one moment and rolling the next.  Water though is essential to nature and for us.  As is our emotions.  Our emotions are what makes us who we are as a person.

This card goes along with the other cards of the week.  This one is dealing with our emotions concerning a particular matter.  But instead of repressing/procrastinating about a particular situation, it's time to face it head on and with joy! 

There is a saying... make the decision you will not regret.

Today's word is courage.  As you are courageous in moving forward with your plan and dealing with your emotions.

Card for Thurs, March 27, 2014

Your Card - “Leap of Faith” - Archangel Metatron brings you this card to encourage you to take a leap of faith! You are fully empowered to follow a new path in life that is full of excitement and wonder. The opportunities for evolution and growth are truly unlimited if you’ll just have faith in yourself and believe in your dreams.

Interesting card selection we have here today.  Kind of along the lines of the card that was chosen for yesterday.  Gee, do you think the angels are trying to tell us something?

I love this card image.  There are flowers.. butterflies... the sun shining and a dog that reminds me of my old collie dog I used to have.  All things that lead to new beginnings and having that childlike innocence.  Believing in the good and having no fear because we know the direction we're going is going to be fun!

I don't know about you, but I have lost that innocent outlook.  I'm not saying we should totally disregard what we've learned over time.  But what I am saying is that we need to loosen up the reins and let go and let God.  Bad things are going to happen in life.  If they didn't how would we appreciate the good ones?  So if you're like me, try and enjoy the day and the things that are thrown at you and maybe do something that makes you extremely happy!  Joy is the word for today!

Life overtakes...intentions

You ever have those moments where you have all these things planned that you want to do and then life overtakes all those things with something of it's own?

I have these all the time.  I started in January with the intent to finish courses I started, to finish my book, to finish my tarot cards among other things.  It's now the end of March.  I have finished one course.  I have worked a little on my book and cards, but not much else has gotten done.

The reason?  Let's see 3 kids.. colds/flu... back issue... computers crashing.. and just my "normal" life.  Let's not forget winter still making a last minute hurrah as it hopefully goes away with April literally around the corner.

Now, hopefully with the weather getting warmer, I'll be trying to get somethings done around the house that will also help with having more time to do other things I want to do.

But with the warmer weather, we have family coming for visits, a vacation coming up - though more for the kids than me at least at this point of their life, and generally more time outside watching kids play around.

The bonus thing going on in my life right now, is that my son has maintained his speech that he is now attending "preschool" for a couple of days a week.  I know it'll be good for him and his twin sister to have time away from home.  She has already been going there and due to her developmental delays, I'm seeing a lot of progress with her since attending.

My eldest is also growing up <sob>.  She is such a blessing to have around the house though.  She's such a kind hearted girl and likes to help me and others.  But on the downside to that, she's easily frustrated and hurt.  I work with her on that aspect.

So, life.. even though I may have had intentions to get things done in a set course of time.. you are good to remind me to take a look at the good things in life and slow it down a bit in order to enjoy what may not be here tomorrow.  So thank you.  How about all of you?  Anything you should be grateful for right now that you may not be realizing?

 Your Card - “Queen of Raphael” - Situations: Your heart is your greatest strength! Expect relationships with others to develop to a new level. People: Someone who is wise and kind. A loving and nurturing person with the ability to solve problems before they occur.

Wonderful card to have today.  How often do we listen to our heart to only have our head interfere with a decision.  Many wonderful things can come from listening to our heart.  It could also be that we have been listening to our head too much lately and the things you want in your heart will not come to pass because your heart is not engaged in the process.  Living by head alone will only take you so far.

Take a look around  you today and see who is living today by their heart.  You usually can tell by the happiness they have around them.  Isn't it time for you?
