September 28, 2012 will be the last day on the job for me in my current position. This past week has been filled with discussions with my employer on winding down operations here in Vancouver hence my lack of posting.
Much has happened this week. My job is officially coming to an end; I'll be working by myself until the end of September; the company taking on some of our existing accounts may offer me employment; and I am moving forward with trying to define and author my own life and employment plans.
The Tarot cards I've drawn since last Friday are:
Saturday, August 25th - XVIII The Moon
Sunday, August 26th - Guide of Swords
Monday, August 27th - V The Priest
Tuesday, August 28th - 2 of Wands
Wednesday, August 29th - 10 of Cups
Thursday, August 30th - 5 of Swords
and today's visiting Tarot card is the 8 of Coins and yes oh yes I will be doing some repetitive things but how rewarding this will be.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Oops!
I thought I was in the habit of posting every day however I see that I haven't made a post since the 21st. Oops!
I've been doing well since then and desire nothing more than to continue working with Spirit as well as working on my RV. I spent four days working on the RV and feel terrible that I'm spending more time with the RV for Spirit seems to me to be very present and strong when I'm in and working on the RV.
Here are the cards that have visited with me since the 21st:
Wednesday, August 22nd - XVIII The Moon
Thursday, August 23rd - Sage of Swords
and today's visiting Tarot card is the Man of Swords. When he appeared this morning I was wondering what on Earth can this mean today? And then I visit my RV intending to a do a little work on her. Well, that didn't quite go as planned as the batteries for my drill died and need to be recharged. So since I was not going to installing the trim as planned I moved on to looking at how the trim I'm thinking about using t trim out the RV might look. So I grab the 3 foot piece I have and think to myself that it should work so then I decide to see what will happen when I cut and bend it to mimic the existing rounded trim. One cut is not enough and the new piece of trim developed a crack. More research and thought needed on this idea. So this where I did a little experiment to see if something might work this is how the Man of Swords relates to my day

9 of Cups
I awoke slightly before the alarm even though we got into bed well past midnight. I was still half asleep as I dragged myself out of bed, taking the alarm with me. At least one of us could sleep in today.
I was tired but managed to work with Tarot and surprisingly after more than a week I'm sure, today's visiting Tarot card did not flip or fall away from the deck as I shuffled and cut it three times. Today I'm visited by the 9 of Cups. I do have a sense of satisfaction but not resting on my laurels or taking much time to enjoy my accomplishments. I got a few things completed over the past four days but there is so much more to do.

Where did Four Days Go?
I intended to take four days off starting Friday so I could make some progress on my crafts and RV however one the two was all but ignored. My crafting weekend went bust as I got frustrated with trying to finish a braided bracelet that has been lying around for the last couple of months as I knew it was going to cause me a headache, and it did.
My repairs to the RV were quite successful but not to the degree I planned of had visualized in my head but I more than satisfied with the results none-the-less. I made a few changes to my plans as the weekend progressed but all in all I feel happy with what I managed to get done.
And on that note I must say that Spirit was with me more than ever this weekend as I stayed focused and more level headed than what I would have been without Spirit keeping me strong. On more than one occasion I started to overheat with anger as I could not find things I knew I had but a little voice kept me calm. Deep breaths and a few time outs really helped. I just need to be more and better organized in the RV than I am.
I worked with Tarot each days as well and surprisingly for the past week or more every card has fell away or flipped in the deck while I shuffle the cards. I cannot remember the last time I shuffled, then cut the deck three times before flipping over the top card as the daily cards always make an entrance without my assistance.
Saturdays visiting card is the 6 of Swords, Sundays visiting Tarot card is the Ace of Coins, and today's, Mondays visiting Tarot card is XIII Death. Each of these cards appearances was more than suitable for the day that followed as well as my frame of mind and Spiritual well-being. Love was and continues to be strong in my life. Realizations of my weaknesses and negativity's has also been realized and changes are in progress to change things up a little bit in my life so I live with purpose and understanding.

Youth of Swords
Today's visiting Tarot card gently sailed off the top of the deck as I was shuffling the cards. I guess I gave it a bit too much air. I take this visit as a reminder to always be curious but never let my curiosity get the better of me. Nor should I blindly trust researched information I might find on the computer as the information is not always correct and could be downright wrong, even dangerous to a degree.
Spirit communications are strong these days. I very much feel the presence of Spirit all around me these days. I feel better and more positive than have in a long time. Actually, yesterday kind of reminded me about what I went through back in 1992, I was on such a natural, spiritual high that the world was just perfect but then I lost it as I allowed myself to get wrapped in the chains of societal and other people's expectations of me so I lost my direction and focus in life for some time.
Sorry if I got off track but it seems relevant for me to get that out and off my chest
But Spirit is always there for us.
Blessed Be.

The 6 of Cups
We enjoyed another couple of hours at the beach last night after work. We arrived there around 6 and left at 8pm just before sunset but we had to go and find a place to eat as we were very hungry.
Today's visiting Tarot card jumped out of the deck as I was shuffling and interestingly this same occurrence happened the last two times he has appeared, April 28th and June 5th. I was reflecting on my relationship this morning and how wonderful it has been even with all of the ups and downs we have. We seem to have a deep and profound love for one another, more than each of us realizes and I really feel blessed to be in such a wonderful relationship as I find myself in today. Thank you Spirit.
1:50pm PDT. I forgot to write here earlier that today is also the Festival of Minstrels, the European festival.
Blessed Be.

The 10 of Swords
After a good night's sleep assisted by a sleeping aid I feel quite well rested albeit a bit groggy too.
Today's visiting Tarot card is the 10 of Swords. I understand this card completely and it's message is always a nice reminder for me to keep my focus on the positive.
I try to look at Llewellyn's Magical Almanac every day and like the fact that they often list festivals or other significant events that occur on a given day. I used to just read them and go "okay" but now I'm trying to research what the particular event is about and where it originates. For instance, today is Assumption Day, a Catholic celebration of "the bodily taking up of the Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life". This day is a public holiday in quite a few countries as well.
See we can learn something every day.
Blessed Be.

Guide of Cups
What a tough night of sleep we had. Neither my partner nor I could stay asleep last night, we tossed and turned throughout the night. I even slept in until the alarm awoke me and luckily I caught myself falling asleep again so I quickly hustled out of bed before sleep once again overtook me.
My reams were all over the map, the most prominent one being about my RV, my motorhome and how I was giving her a wash but then somehow forgot her keys at home. Other dreams and thoughts revolved around love, being in love falling in love, loving both myself and my partner. I also gave some dream time to what I'll be doing once my job comes to an end either at the end of this month or at some point in September. It's been some time since I've been unemployed. And as happened six years ago, this job is also coming to an end because the office is being closed and everything handled out of Toronto. I do not like being unemployed so I then turned my thoughts and dreams to my crafts - cards, bracelets, and masquerade ball masks. I need to keep in mind all of the job opportunities that are before me. Upon awaking my thoughts were on becoming a Spiritual Guide of sorts, a Spiritualist offering direction and guidance but no opinions or advice instead trying to open doors and assist others in finding the answers they seek, themselves.
Today's visiting Tarot card is the "Guide of Cups" and is a reflection of where my thoughts and dreams were last night and where my thoughts still are percolating and deciphering what my future may hold for me. Maybe I will become a Tarot Card Reader, traveling the bi-ways and highways of North America assisting people decipher their lives while on the road.

A Perfect Summer Weekend
What a perfect summer weekend we had. The weather was so inviting that we had ourselves one heck of a busy but ever so worthwhile weekend spent at the beach, on a bike ride and doing a hike.
On Friday evening, as the job day came to a close we drove on over to and made our way down to Wreck Beach. This a perfect beach to recharge one's soul and spirit. The energy is calm, relaxing, and serene. Friday, August 10th saw a visit from the "Ace of Wands".
Saturday, I had a visit from "I The Magician" and we spent Saturday riding the Fort to Fort Trail out in Fort Langley, BC. We spent two hours or so on the trail enjoying the many views that the trail has to offer. Fort Langley is also home to a Parks Canada historic site and Fort Langley is claimed to be the birthplace of the province of British Columbia.
On Sunday, "XII The Hanged Man". Around 9:30 we set out with a friend on a day trip to Squamish so we could hike the world famous Stawamus Chief, an intermediate hike that tests ones strength and endurance many a time but rewards the effort with striking views of Howe Sound and the city of Squamish. The Stawamus Chief Park has something for everyone and almost anyone can enjoy this adventurous hike.
Now we did not get home until around after 7pm and we continued our visit with our friend as we sat and relaxed and recovered from our day's hike. A tiring hike to say the least but ever so worthwhile when the view atop fill your eyes. Lunch atop this granite monolith is a must and the wildlife always welcomes you to share a morsel or two of what eating with them. nuts always work.
A good night's rest was had last night and although I awoke to use the bathroom in the wee hours of the night and opened my eyes again around 5:30am I fell asleep until just a few minutes after 6:00am. I slipped out of bed and got on with my day. Today's visiting Tarot card is the "5 of Swords" and I'm still trying to decipher exactly what this visit represents today.
Spirit Is.
Blessed Be.

Simply Enjoying the Summer
AAhhh, the long weekend was simply an enjoyable one. No real plans and just letting things fall into place and come to be.
Beach, Pride Parade, a bike ride in the park and quiet evenings at home. . .Spirit. . .
Saturday, August 4th - 3 of Wands
Sunday, August 5th - 3 of Cups
Monday, August 6th - 3 Swords
Tuesday, August 7th - 10 of Wands
Wednesday, August 8th - XIII Death
and today's visiting card stealthily flipped over in the deck as I was shuffling and I paused shuffling for just a second and there it was on top of the deck, the 4 of Swords. I did not even notice that a card had flipped over and here this the 4 of Swords is staring back at me as I look as the deck. Change is coming, welcome change, I do believe and I'm simply biding my time, resting, and enjoying being awaiting for this change to pick me up and renew my life in one way or another.
Blessed Be.

The Fool
I awoke around five to six and slowly made my way out of bed and did my usual morning stuff.
Today’s visiting Tarot card is the Fool. This is who I am most of the time. I’m always mentally exploring what our sexuality is all about and always beginning new and exciting ventures, and I'm always the nonconformist as social conventions do drive me batty.
Spirit is. Blessed Be.

2 of Coins
Today’s visiting Tarot card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi. Flexibility. "Going with the flow." Living in tune with your environment." I’m finding my “Zen” and learning how to breathe and just “be”. This is all part of my growing and maturing in my Wiccan ways.
