The 8 of Cups and Unfolding Change

We enjoyed another few hours at the beach yesterday.  The sun was shining brightly and just enough of a cool breeze was blowing to keep us cool.  For most the water was at decent enough temperature to dive right in but not for me.  I kept my head and most of my body above the water.  I dove in the last time we were out to the beach…soon the afternoon gave way to the evening and I was cooking up a nice dinner for us as well as my brother.  The evening was full of goo d food and conversation and soon was all over and dishes were all cleaned up, my brother departed for home and the bed was calling.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot is the “8 of Cups: Farewell.  Moving on.  Leaving behind a person, situation, or a part of yourself.”

Is this visit by “8 of Cups” a sign of needed change and if so what and where in my life do I need to change?  Old patterns, habits, and behaviours have been falling away from me all year long and I am without employment so a change in job is a reality, a change in location is a possibility and relationship wise I don’t necessarily see a change but a new dynamic to what already exists.

I think the change is multi-faceted and involves many areas and aspects of my life.  I’m craving more out of life than material wealth and possessions.  I’m craving a simpler life, a life where I live and do the things I love to do without a lot of worry and anxiety about fitting in or meeting others’ expectations.  I want to be my own person and the author of my own life.  Yes, my desire is to be more nomadic than most and examples of people doing this successfully are around as witnessed by the numerous blogs out there about people living life on the road and doing so in a financially independent way.

Their experiences both good and bad serve as a road map for others to follow, to take the lessons and experiences that work in order to avoid the pitfalls that often come from inexperience and lack of preparation for the unseen risks that pop up along the way.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
