Monday, March 31, 2014. The third month of the New Year winding down its last few hours and the year seems to have just barely started. My, my time does seem to pass by more quickly these days. I‘m sleeping well these days but the nights are far too short—my fault really, should be getting into bed about an hour earlier but it’s so hard to do. So it’s no wonder why I feel tired on and off throughout the day, especially my eyes—also likely from working in front of a computer screen all day. No worries I’ll adjust as it’s only the start of the second week on the new job.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key. Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”
I accept responsibility for my past actions, decisions, and mistakes. I am where I am because of many of the things I’ve done, decisions, and mistakes I’ve made. I accept where I am knowing full well and believing with every atom of my being that my future, my very near future is shaping up how I want it to be. I am on the same page as the cosmos and cosmic energies are now working with me to make things, good things happen in my life. One of which is a decent paying job that will help me pay off my debt, debt that I brought onto myself, I might add. I have a singular focus and passion now and as I strengthen my focus and efforts on making this passion of mine a reality my life on the road in an RV will come to fruition and I’ll soon be writing about my experiences driving throughout North America.
Thank You Spirit.
We need to direct our passions, have a singular goal in mind, one that is static and unmovable so the cosmic energies can assist us in achieving and experiencing it when we ask for help to make it happen. The cosmos is with is and help us when we put our energies toward a single goal, passion, desire, or dream. Doing this will bring other dreams to reality so never have doubts, fears, or worries—believe, believe with every cell in your body that you can have what you want just don’t move the goal posts all of the time.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Intuitive and Time for Quiet Meditation
Sunday, March 30, 2014. We’ve had a productive weekend so far. Yesterday, we replaced our toilet; I cleaned up my crafting are, and got a few other things organized, and I became closer to Spirit and understanding where I need to be and go in life. I think next weekend will see some progress being made on my model railroad as I want to get it up and running in one way or another. Thank You Spirit.
I rested and slept well. And the day is dryer and brighter than yesterday but the possibility of rain is still in the air. As I awoke I pondered the idea of what is like to wake up in an RV whether it is my old Class C or a new van conversion. Then the idea struck that my old Class C does offer more space and even if old, if the engine and mechanical is fixed and okay she should be quite drivable with very few problems. Hhhmmm…
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “II The Intuitive: To be true to oneself, one must know oneself. Looking within for answers. Meditation. Intuition. Exploring that which is normally hidden.”
It is also, “SUNDAY (SUN): Healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection.”
And the Moon is in “ARIES: Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly; but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive.”
Some of the unconscious becomes awareness in the conscious mind as an idea, thought, or memory. Does a conversation from the last few days have significance or meaning to you today. Do you need to spend some time by yourself perhaps, a little quiet time and meditation are in order so further guidance or direction can be revealed. Turn off the phone, the computer, the laptop, disconnect from the rest of the world for a spell and see what messages Spirit has for you, for us today. A little divine awareness is the order of the day.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Ace of Coins and Investing in Yourself
Saturday, March 29, 2014. Ah, how nice it is to awake and enjoy the beauty of the morning without being rushed to get out the door and off to work. Not that work or working is bad however it is nice to have these wonderful days of freedom to simply go with the flow of the day. And the nice thing about all of this is that I like my job, I appreciate my job, I am thankful to have a job and I accept that at this time I need a job. But in knowing all of this I also understand that I have a goal/dream/desire in mind that is not the current job I have now. As I mentioned previously I am at heart a nomad and have been my whole life.
Back in the late 1980’s, likely about 1988 I purchased my first Motorhome magazine and immediately fell in love with and could identify with living in and having a home on wheels. This idea became a dream of mine that has been with me all of these years and is something I need to set in and have set in motion more seriously over this past week. Yes, I have an old RV I purchased years ago but I never had a singular plan or goal on how to get myself into the RV and live life on the road. My goals always shifted so the Universe could not assist me in realizing my dreams because my dreams were always changing. Yes, they involved the RV but the how and why I wanted to live in an RV and how I plan to support myself always changed.
So now I am a Spiritual Nomad. Spirit is where I am and where I should be. If I am doing the right thing and fulfilling my purpose money will flow to me. I am grateful to be in the position I am now with a clear goal in mind and in having asked for divine help, the energy needed to achieve this has been set in motion and set free in order to bring my goal/dream/desire to fruition.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Coins: A gift of security. Starting to build or construct something. A fertile environment.”
Time to get my hands dirty and start achieving and living out my goal/dream/desire. I’m investing time and energy in/on myself and how I’d like to live my life. My focus and intention are clear and realistic and very achievable. The path may not be easy but it is a path worth taking because I believe in myself and my purpose in life. I trust, trust in, and understand Spirit and work hand-in-hand with the Spirit and energy that is moving me forward in the realization of my goals.
Live for yourself. Invest time in yourself. Set realistic and achievable goals. Ground yourself in the love and strength of Spirit and believe with atom of your being that you and your goals are worthwhile and achievable and get out there and work at realizing them. Ask for the help and guidance of Spirit and those around you. Ask that they do their best to believe in and support your goals and dreams and provide you with their expertise in helping you realize them.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 8 of Wands and Moving Forward
Friday, March 28, 2014. Another decent day at work and my first week at the new job is now behind me and week two just around the corner. I slept well last night too, so this likely proves to be a great benefit to how the work day progresses. Sleeping well and performing my job well seem to go hand-in-hand. I enjoyed my first week and will move along as this working arrangement allows. You see, my goal is to still live life on the road. My goal is to be a spiritual nomad providing spiritual services along my travels. I will let Spirit work out the details but for now I try to spend each day doing something spiritual to keep the energy moving forward toward my spiritual goal of traveling the highways and bi-ways of North America.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Wands: Movement. Everything is falling into place. People or circumstances are aligning to facilitate the achievement of your goals. Matters are rapidly reaching a conclusion. A group combines their energies while maintaining individuality.”
Doing what I love is what I must do in order to fulfill my spiritual desires and in order for me to grow and evolve alongside Spirit. My energies are moving in the direction of Spirit and this bodes well for me to live my long held dream and desire to live in an RV so I can simply work and travel. We must keep focused on our goals in order to achieve them and this includes keeping the dream and goal the same and not changing it as our moods change. This is what I’ve done in the past thus my still longing desire to live life on the road.
Keep your dream simple, keep your focus on it, strive to move toward it and engage Spirit in the process. Ask for help and then let Spirit take your energy and put things in place for it to come to light. Don’t fret, work at what you can do, knowing full well, believing with every atom of your being that your dream will happen, be patient, be strong and trust.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

XX Beyond Judgment and Find Liberation
Thursday, March 27, 2014. Another work day successfully completed. One thing I’ve noticed about my new job is that I’m almost totally relaxed as compared to my previous one. I realized that my previous sales manager was right, I was nervous at that place. Not nervous because of anything I necessarily did or did not do but because of the highly tense energy of that particular workplace. Here in my new job I feel very comfortable and can have conversations with everybody quite freely and naturally too!
Thank You Spirit.
So I slept quite decently last night, awaking slightly to use the bathroom and then again mere minutes before the alarm. I like those kinds of sleeps. Cannot remember any dreams I may have had, lingering thoughts about what they may have been if I’m not mixing one night’s sleep with the next. Speaking of lingering thoughts, I’m still thinking about a van conversion and how easy or difficult it might be to live in one full-time. Also, after watching a young woman building her dream house on wheels I’ve had a renewed sense that is what I can simply do with my existing RV. I simply must invest the money necessary to fix up my RV and she really is then good to go. But, but, and but…again, not sure what I will do other than leave it for now. Maybe, I’ll donate my RV to Kidney Car Program?
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XX Beyond Judgement: Self-acceptance must come before liberation. Freedom from others’ expectations. Trying to make conditions better for others. Altruism. Pride. Self-acceptance.”
Self-acceptance is a big deal and so is looking at one’s self through his her own eyes rather than somebody else's. Look at yourself through your own eyes and form your own opinion about yourself rather than think about, remember or rely on what other people have told you about yourself or who you are. Meditate on finding your own identity and be liberated from the view, opinions, and expectations of others. Be your own person and let others think what they may. As long as you are aiming at your own highest ideal with divine awareness never doubt your own identity and what you want or even expect out of life.
Liberate yourself by learning to love and accept yourself for who you truly are. Let Spirit help you express yourself and open your eyes to your own true reflection. Go on and look at the real you in the mirror. You’ll be amazed at what you see. What a wonderful loving, kind, caring, and understanding person you are. Look at yourself through spiritual eyes and look to the future with bright eyes and a whole lot of love and optimism—you’ve finally found and liberated yourself. You’re free!
Thank You Spirit.

5 of Cups, Loss Yet Looking Forward With Optimisim
Wednesday, March 26, 2014. This morning was a bit odd as I wanted to make a couple of calls to some business entities based in Ontario but I got nowhere as one was closed making me assume it’s actually located here in BC and the other call just had me going around in circles. The middle of the week, also known as “hump day” as the week is now closer to ending than having just started. Work is going well and I’m accepting and dealing with the fact that someone accessed and used some of my personal information to partially tamper with banking. Another warning to be careful. I even made it to the gym this evening and it sure felt good to exercise my muscles again.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath. Regret over past actions.”
Regret, maybe a little but it’s more like a sense of loss as I’ve had my private and personal information taken from me and used to commit fraud. It’s dealt with and I feel good about the prospect of this being minimal pain and no other surprises are awaiting me. I’m moving forward with my plans and just over yonder I have something to look forward to. I cannot lose sight of what is just over the horizon that will bring me great success as I learn to grow and evolve with Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

XIV Temperance and Living With Moderation
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. The last twenty-fours have been an eye-opening experience for me in terms of how important it is to protect one’s finances and identity. I’ve become a victim of identity theft and impersonation. So let this serve as a warning to all of my readers, known and unknown—be careful with you identity and personal information. Keep your credit cards safe, keep changing passwords and pin numbers and always monitor your bank accounts.
I had a poor night’s sleep as I tossed and turned for a few hours but awoke feeling pretty rested and ready to get on with my day. I made a call first thing to take care of the identity and financial crisis I’m experiencing then I headed off to a wonderfully busy day at work. So far, I’m loving my new job yet still have my eye on being full-time Tarot Professional soon. However, for now I’ll do what I can to be exceptional in performing my new job and fulfilling my role at this new company.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XIV Temperance: Mix things up a little. Combining separate elements to create something new. Moderation (not too much of each flavour). Flexibility.”
Having a hobby or another constructive type of activity in one’s life is a great way to bring about balance to life. We should strive to live and keep a healthy lifestyle where mind, body, and spirit are exercised regularly and where we aim for our highest ideal through divine awareness. Having said this we must also find moderation in our lives where we are living the best quality lives possible so we are simply living to work or always playing and shirking off responsibilities. We must find a nice equilibrium so we are doing what we can to make this experience of ours as well as those around us the best it can possibly be.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

3 of Coins and Recognizing and Using Your Talents
Monday, March 24th, 2014. Today is the first day at my new, new job and what a difference in atmosphere and energy. I admit that I thought the last new job I had was feeling pretty good but upon reflection and an honest accounting of what I felt during that time including my first day was nervousness and anxiety. This undercurrent of energy never did go away and I never felt at home in the job as much as I do at this new one. Getting dismissed was certainly a gift that paved the way for a better opportunity and a better employer.
Thank You Spirit.
Last night I was wondering what today would bring and although I’m not yet doing what I’d like to be doing, now that I’ve figured it out I’m in a good place and a much better place than I was for the past three months. I am a Tarot Professional regardless of my full-time work and I will slowly build up my experience with Tarot as it relates to the cards and in the readings I’ll be doing for people whether they be family, friends, or strangers.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Coins: A child’s room. Creating a positive environment for someone. Work done for the pleasure of it.”
I’m using my talents well and for a company that appreciates what I have to offer. In addition, I’m working as an integral part of team where I’m pretty much on my own yet able to ask for or give help when either is required. This is very important in such a company as this as well as in life in general. I’ll give to this company all that I can and then when the time is right I will walk away and be the individual I wish to be.
So recognize and use your talents and skills as part of a team. Grow and expand your skill set and then if the desire is there use what you know and have learned to strike out on your own path. Money is surely to follow when we’re doing the right thing.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Guide of Coins and Embracing Intuitiion, Logic, Desire, and Discipline
Sunday, March 23, 2014. I had a great birthday day yesterday. We had breakfast with my brother and some friends, we relaxed at home and then we took in a movie and dinner in downtown Vancouver. Both the movie and dinner were excellent. The movie (at the Cinematheque) shall remain unnamed so as not to stir up controversy and dinner was had at “The Templeton”. Then we came back home, relaxed, and went to bed. What nice, simple yet great birthday.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane. Spiritual fulfillment from nature. Finding joy in the ordinary.”
Desire is discipline, intuition is logic. What I mean by that is that we must meet our desires with the discipline needed to achieve them and intuition and logic must go hand-in-hand and work together so we can move forward in the pursuit of our dreams. This though must also involve balance between work and play; we must learn to develop and maintain a healthy balance in our lives where work does interfere with our personal lives so we can give ourselves time to enjoy living instead of simply living to work. If we to nurture and empower others we must first nurture and empower ourselves.
Thank You Spirit.

The Guide of Cups, Altrusim, and Cards of the Year
Saturday, March 22, 2014. Happy Birthday to Me!
Yesterday turned out to be a great day. It started out well and got even better as the seconds, minutes, and hours of the day ticked on by. A second job interview became a job offer that I accepted. I start my new job bright and early on Monday—7:45am. Thank you Spirit. The sun shined all day, we got out together for a coffee and a quick walk; I made an Angel Food and Strawberry Tunnel, cake; I spoke with my brother-we’re meeting for breakfast later this morning; and we had friends over for tea and cake.
And then in about twenty minute’s time I’ll be off to the gym…
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Cups: Messages from your heart. Altruism.”
Thoughts have been more loving, caring, and compassionate. More understanding and reflective too! I’m extending my understanding of this world and my place in it by experiencing it with Spirit. I’m trying my best to reach out with Spirit so I can have a deeper understanding of the world and the people in it. I’m trying my best to experience the world with my spiritual body more than my physical one, trying my best to be more divinely aware.
I also looked at my Card of the Year and strictly numerically speaking it is “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions. Wisdom. Advice. A ceremony or ritual.” However, if I try to make it more personal the Card of the Year that appears is “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgmental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”
Either way I see the year ahead as one best being experienced with a loving and compassionate heart, where the truth must prevail, and where I must let the past be the past and turn over a new leaf and be all that I can be in and for the year ahead.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 4 of Wands and Living Life
Friday, March 21, 2014. I celebrated Spring Equinox with a job interview. It was a very different and refreshing type of interview that cut to the chase—not so much about experience as it was about getting a sense of character and personality and whether or not the owner/interviewer can work with any of the candidates he is interviewing. I liked it and I like him and the company as well. I have a second interview in less than 90 minutes.
The rest of the day was spent studying and getting to know Tarot and what it is like to be a Professional Tarot Reader. I also made a jaunt out for a coffee and to pick up a bottle of wine as we also went to a friend’s place for dinner in celebration of the Spring Equinox. The dinner and conversation were great and it was really nice to see them again.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Wands: Setting the Stage. Opening night finally arrives. A venture has been established. Celebrating initial achievements.”
This is the time to break free of any chains that bind us, whether self-imposed or not and move forward beyond the past to a world of new possibilities where we seek personal growth and achievement. We need to live for ourselves and take care of “Number One” for a spell. Nothing wrong with that. We need to be happy, truly happy with who we are, where we are going, and how we are living our lives. We need to listen to our hearts and intuitions and really be in that place that makes each of us happy. Let’s not simply go through the motions of living, let’s get out there and actually live!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Happy Spring, the 8 of Wands and Movement
Thursday, March 20, 2014. Happy or Blessed Ostara. May the Spring Equinox bring new opportunities for us all to grow and evolve this year.
I’m moving along with my days focused on the Tarot. I’ve been scanning and creating digital versions of a few of my favourite Tarot Decks and will likely add a fourth, fifth, and possibly six deck to my digital collection. As I think I mentioned I love this exercise of going digital with my Tarot decks as it really brings to life each deck of and each individual card each particular deck. I learn, grow and evolve with each Tarot Card I add to my digital Tarot Book Collection. What a great way to learn, understand, and become Tarot, an integral part of the world, spirit, and energy of Tarot.
I have decided to become a Professional Tarot Consultant, Reader, and Interpreter. In fact, I am a Professional Tarot Consultant, Reader, and Interpreter as well as a Spiritualist involved in Metaphysical Science and Mystical (Paranormal) Research. Until now, I’ve never accepted or put this passion and interest of mine top of mind and this has all come about since I parted company with my former employer.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Wands: Movement. Everything is falling into place. People or circumstances are aligning to facilitate the achievement of your goals. Matters are rapidly reaching a conclusion. A group combines their energies while maintaining individuality.”
As I slipped into bed last night and drifted off to dreamland and the world of the subconscious I wondered about how split up my energy and focus is and what to about this as I have too many options before me and must only focus on one, maybe two but all of them, maybe four or five areas I thought I need to keep myself involved with. Bu this morning I awoke with the feeling that eve with as much time, energy, and even money I’ve invested in things some of it has to, needs to go if I want to grow and evolve spiritually. If I am to be an effective Spiritualist, spiritualism has to take centre stage in my life.
Sometimes, we must give up the things we think we love and think we cannot live without as giving them up opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Often we are too close to it to see beyond it the gifts awaiting us just over the horizon.
Movement…is it time for some movement in your life?
Thank You Spirit.

Guide of Wands and Belief in One's Self
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. A gray, rainy morning however a great day of receiving Divine answers to many questions and ideas. As I read and adopted new ways of thinking and understanding my place in the world and how although I have much to learn I also have much to offer and the Divine, the Cosmos, the Universe, is there to help me along the way. Serving as inspiration, teacher, consultant and guide, the universe has laid out a path for me to follow and is holding my hand so I do not lose my way and veer off into unchartered and misdirecting paths that lead me away from where I am supposed to be and where I need to be going.
Tarot Cards, books, candles and incense as well as quick jaunt out for a coffee and a brief walk along the river and back home served me well yesterday. Words, thoughts, and Divine inspiration led me to books and ideas and areas in my life that need improvement and an ability to believe and trust in myself and my intuition so I can move forward, continue to grow, and offer help and assistance to those who seek it. My education and readings from the Universal Life Church and the University of Metaphysics are now being put to good use and now I am mature enough to continue to grow my passion and love, and knowledge of all things Divine.
Thank you Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration. Being inspired to help others. Doing what’s right.”
Believe in myself, I need to believe in myself and trust my intuition. Spirit has my back and will never fail me. I am gifted from the Divine and am thankful to have Spirit in my life teaching me to accept, appreciate and use my gifts to give back and help others as I keep myself firmly grounded to the Earth knowing my place in this world and understanding that even though I am only a small piece of the puzzle I still have much to offer.
Thank You Spirit.

The Ace of Swords and Finding Success Through Facing Reality
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. I had a busy day yesterday interacting and intermingling with another of my many decks of Tarot Cards. After a jaunt to the gym I started the process of adding another of my decks of Tarot Cards to the digital world by scanning the cards and creating my booklet of the images and suggested meanings of the cards. This time it is the Tarot Deck by Dennis Fairchild with illustrations by Julie Paschkis and published by Running Press, Philadelphia, 1996, 2002.
This is a great exercise especially this time around as I’m typing out directly from the book the suggested meanings of the card directly from the book as I look at the images of the cards. This process allows to me to connect more directly with and learn about each card as I read and then type out the meaning on the computer. I feel a stronger connection and bond with each of the cards. By the way, I refer to this deck as my Whimsical Deck as I’m always filled with light and airy feelings and feel surrounded by a very lighthearted Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card, from my Whimsical Deck is the “Ace of Swords: Your spirit is strong and pioneering. Don’t let your ego get in the way. This is a good time to push ahead ideas, contract negotiations, and other legal matters. Goals you can meet quickly are better than long-range ones. When reversed: Things are out of balance. Practice patience and perseverance. This is the time for some solo work. In your dealings with others, don’t distort the facts.”
I’ve been a bit lazy of late and seemingly wanting things handed to me on a silver platter. I’m in no position nor do I deserve such treatment. I have the inner resources and resolve to overcome obstacles and difficulties and find success in my life. Actually, I can do a much better job in or at attracting success into my life with a few minor tweaks here and there—done!
My spirit is strong and well-connected with the cosmos so I have no excuses as to why I’m not living the life of my dreams or as close to this as possible. And to a degree I’m already living the life of my dreams. Sure things could be better or different but they sure the heck aren’t as bad as I sometimes think they are—it’s more a reflection of me than anything else.
With a bit of hard work, an attitude adjustment and a strong belief in myself and I’m attracting success and the life of dreams to me. Research, study, practice and some hard work and I’m doing what I love to do. It’s never too late if we realize early enough that I’ve still got time and boy do I still have time to do things I want to do in life. I’m living my life to the up-most and highest ideals possible each and every day.
Thank You Spirit.

XIX The Sun and Seeing the Light
Monday, March 17th, 2014. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Caught glimpses of the Full Moon last night and this morning. As the evening escaped me and bedtime was upon us I quickly threw together a brief Full Moon Ritual before going to bed. I might do a bit more during the day as well as well as put together something for this evening. I’m quite liking having a full on set-up of things on the table even though I cannot keep it set-up permanently. My dining room table tarot reading or spiritual centre is quite empowering and energizing as much spirit comes out of the woodwork so-to-speak. So I will try to find a way to have it around without having it as a permanent set-up. Perhaps, a photo will do? Good idea!
We went for Dim Sum with a friend yesterday and had a good visit with him before parting company and just going about this and that as the day wore on. We ate leftovers for dinner before heading out to do our weekly shopping—nice and quiet in the store, just the way we like it.
This is a week of making decisions and setting things in motion. I’m going ahead with a custom website design as well as getting a mechanical diagnosis done on my RV. I’m moving forward on a more spiritual path and expanding my crafting website to include this. Odds n Ends Scraps and Crafts is now more than just crafts…
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XIX The Sun: The best moments in life are rooted in the ordinary. Contentment. Optimism. Ordinariness. Satisfaction from a job well done. Familiarity.”
The Sun lights the path to happiness and success as provides us with clarity of thought and the courage to believe in ourselves and the opportunities set out before us no matter how small they may appear. Thought must lead to decisions that lead to actions that lead to trying to be the best that we can be. The simple fact of trying is a success all on its own so let us never give up trying and striving to reach our truest and highest potentials.
Thank You Spirit.

The 8 of Coins and Focused Energy
Sunday, March 16, 2014. I’m not sure what to make of yesterday. I
continued working on and finished Pagan Tarot Booklet and then became a
bit lost in/with what to next. I think the energy I felt on Friday has
been interrupted. So after a time I started to put my focus on the
development of my website. My website will have several pages each with
their own separate focus however they will all fall under the “Odds n
Ends Scraps & Crafts” website banner. I have a few interests that
I’d love to give an online presence and then see how each of them takes
off. I’m hoping to learn and get a good handle on website maintenance
and design so that I can keep my pages fresh and alive with new content
whether it be daily or weekly I want to keep my website as current as
possible.
I guess each page will need to have links to my various blogs too! As I do believe the web provider I’m with only provides space for a single blog per website. I think I have about or will have five, six, maybe even seven blogs on the go depending on how things work out.
That was pretty much my Saturday. Oh, we did meet friends for coffee at Tre Galli at the River Market located on the New Westminster Quay.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Coins: The Factory. Skill and mastery. Tedious, repetitive labor. Slow and methodical progress.”
I need to spend some very well focused time and energy on making a success of myself through the further development of my hobby/home-based business through an online presence. I need to make a success of my relationship by putting more positive and nurturing energy into it. I need to believe in myself and my abilities with every ounce of my being. This belief has to penetrate and permeate every atom of my being, all 50 trillion cells that make up my physical presence here on Mother Gaia, Earth. I need to focus, and trust in myself and where Spirit is taking on this journey called life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Youth of Coins and Let's Get Moving!
Saturday, March 15, 2014. I had a great day yesterday. I made it the gym, we celebrated someone’s birthday, we had a nice meal at “Le Parisien” and I met Pagan Tarot during the afternoon as I opened my newest deck of Tarot Cards for the first time.
A funny thing happened as we were settling into our seats at the restaurant and getting our drinks ordered. We presented the server with our “gift card” a friend gave us at Christmas. It was print out of an online purchase receipt. Well the funny thing is our friend forgot to give us the pertinent information needed to make what she gave us valid. So in the end our “gift card” was a $100 out of our pockets. We didn’t worry about it too much at all as the food and service are great and this is our second time at the restaurant.
So I could meet my Pagan Tarot Cards for the first time I set up a nice layout of candles, incense, crystals, crystal ball, cauldron, and my Wiccan Cabinet on our dining room table along with a piece of black silk. I opened the box of cards and held them in my hand for the longest time. The energy and spirit I felt is amazing, these are my cards. I then laid out the major Arcana and simply soaked up the images on each of the cards. What a powerful and tiring experience! Absolutely wonderful!
I then decided that I need to create a Pagan Tarot booklet that I take with me when I leave the house so I scanned the cards and the booklet that came with them so I can create a mobile version of the cards without taking them physically with me as I have done with my other favourite deck. Thank You Spirit.
I’ve also decided that I must accept that I am a true through and through spiritualist. I often sense, feel, see and interact with Spirit so I’m taking ownership of my abilities and will use them the best I can to benefit as many people as possible. Am I capable of hearing them? Not as far as I can tell but I’m okay with that as other people are gifted in that area and I’ll leave it to them to communicate with and disseminate messages from Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Coins: Focusing on the physical. Beginning a regimen. Matters relating to nutrition and exercise.”
It’s time to move beyond thinking and contemplating and start acting. I’m back at the gym on a regular basis and I must start acting on my spiritual gifts and using them to the best of my abilities to live a purposeful and purpose driven life that benefits all kind. Much of what I do is available online so I need to get my website up and operational over the next couple of weeks. Thankfully, I’ve been acting on this by finding and creating content for the three, four, or five pages I wish to create or have created for me by the experts. Having a solid web presence will give me the exposure I need to grow all facets of my Odds n Ends Scraps and Crafts business in whatever form it takes from such online exposure.
So the underlying message of the ““Youth of Coins” is “Let’s get a move on here, times a wasting.”
Thank you Spirit.

The 4 of Swords and Moving Beyond Doubt and Fear
Friday, March 14th, 2014. Yesterday, I meditated to some degree as I burned a candle and some incense. I worked out at the gym, had lunch, searched for jobs and ran an errand. My day was full as I’m on a mission to learn as much as I can about Tarot and find a way to become financially self-reliant through my love of Spirit, of esotericism, mysticism, the occult, Wicca, and all things spiritual. Which reminds me, I actually set-up a card reading nook on the dining room table and took photos of it as well as my altars in the bedroom, the den, and the living room. This led to all matters of thought and images of me doing Tarot Card Reading, Consultations and Interpretations for others, of life on the road in my RV and where my crafting business finds itself as I work with Spirit.
My crafting business is very much a part of me as is Spirit and all that it encompasses so my papers, stamps, yarns, ventriloquism, and everything in-between is staying put. Oh, my Odds n Ends Scraps and Crafts business cards arrived late yesterday afternoon (By the way, my website is currently a work in progress). They look pretty darned good. I want to add t my card-making enterprise by getting into more Wiccan or new age themes with them so then Spirit and cards will go hand in hand.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals. Resting and gathering strength for the next phase. A vacation or “time out”.”
I cannot let fears or doubts hold me back especially those that haunt me from the past. What’s done is done and I need to move on. A light-bulb just turned on. No more fears and a little aside here -- I have to make a call later to book an appointment to have my RV looked at, more specifically the mechanical components, $200 gets me a 150 point diagnosis and inspection.
One little phrase and it brings about an enlightened thought that caries me through a certain doubt/fear. Thank You Spirit.
Also, what I’m sensing from the “4 of Swords” is that I cannot be paralyzing myself with doubt all of the time and instead need to adopt a whole mind, body, and spiritual belief in myself and all that I can and will do. No second guessing, no wishful thinking, no doubt, no fear, no more negativity – I believe with every ounce of, with every atom of my being.
Confront your doubts and fears, stare them down and then cast them aside or transcend them and move on. Empower yourself with a new core of believing, of believing in yourself, your ideas, and all that you can do and most importantly don’t give up if you fall down trying, pick yourself and continue to move forward. The best way to keep moving forward is to build yourself a solid support network of family and friends, groups, and other networks you have crated in the pursuit of your dreams, of gaining independence in your life, of finally becoming the author of and writing your own life story.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 9 of Cups and Being Responsible For and Welocming Wishes Coming True
Thursday, March 13th, 2014. Good Day to Everyone.
Yesterday was an odd sort of day that started with my usual routine then came a phone call and from my former co-worker and what a conversation we had. She did most of the talking and I’m glad I could offer my ear and be a sounding board for her. She thanked me for my actions as it has brought to light feelings and attitudes that have been hidden and simmering under the surface for many years. She was to have a meeting at work at some point in the day however I have not heard anything more from her.
Beyond that I did some research into the labour laws of the province and although they exist they are quite weak in many areas. My situation can only be dealt with through the anti-bullying workplace laws that exist in the province and that’s it. I’ll likely get the ball rolling on this today. It won’t get my job back but will put the company on notice that rules exist and employees have rights that are currently being violated.
Then I did a bit of shopping and tried to work through the feelings swirling about me regarding my job situation and what my former co-worker is now going through. I did quite a good job of clearing my mind by reading about Tarot.
I picked up a new book a couple of days ago (Reflections Books) and what a find it is. I’m learning a lot. It’s called “The Tarot Bible” by Sarah Bartlett. I picked the book up in the store, put it down, walked around the store, looked at the book, walked around the store picked it up, flipped through the pages, and put it down again before picking it up the last time and making a purchase. I also grabbed a package of “Meditation” incense made by Floré. This incense burns for about hour and does a great job in clearing the mind and strengthening communications with the transcendent.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Cups: Serendipity. Satisfaction. Everything is going well.”
I accept the wishes I made, the ones I am most passionate about. Living and working on/from the road in my trusty little RV as I work on crafts, perform ventriloquism, and work with Spirit through Tarot Card Consultations, Readings and Interpretations mixed in with Mystical Research and blogging about my experiences through or on my many blogs. Writing has also long been a wish of mine however it’d be nice to write and get paid for it.
And yes all things considered, things are going well and I have a degree of satisfaction with where I’m at and welcome a serendipitous day.
This is a day where we should thank and be thankful for what we have in life as well as be tempered in our celebrations of wishes coming true and good fortune coming our way. Do not be too smug or create envy in others. Be gracious and kind and more importantly be humble.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 3 of Swords and Moving Forward
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. What a good day I had yesterday, even with having to go into my former workplace to pick up my final paycheque. What helped me there was my visit to “Reflections Books”, a "A Magical Book & Gift Shoppe". This store has great energy and spirit and is very uplifting and strengthening.
I also spent some time with a candle and incense as I reflected on my past, present, and future. Many thoughts came to mind about all areas and facets of my life and what direction I need to go moving forward. I have the challenge of trying to make my home-based business work and become financially feasible for me to rely on for an income however I need to put much thought into what to include as part of the business as I have a few different things that can be included or not. It simply depends on how much energy and attention each requires and whether or not this will detract too much time from one or more of them. Much to think about and sleep on.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Swords: The Wreckage. Feeling heavy-hearted after an emotional storm. Feeling hurt or betrayed.”
I think the appearance of this card is reflective of the affect or effect that my previous and most recent employer is having on me. I need some alone time and time with nature and spirit in order to overcome and transcend the pain of the experience and the impact it is having on and in my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Youth of Coins and Exercising Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit!
Tuesday, March 11th, 2014. Yesterday was a decent day. I met with a member of the Friday morning business networking group I belong to as he was going to assist me in understanding the concept of these groups a little better. However, since having been terminated from my job for speaking up my membership at this point has no use. Unless of course, I can promote my own business and toot my own horn, if you will. Anyway during the course of our breakfast he suggested that I apply for a refund considering how new my membership is. I put in a couple of calls so now it is “wait and see” time. Not important but worth trying, I guess.
However, perhaps I can explore the promotion of my handcrafted greeting card business too! I need to build myself a better website though and one where people can make online orders and purchases -- need to explore this a little bit more. I’ll make a call to the website hosting company I use to get a few things set up. It will take spending some money however I will then be set up to earn money in the end so this could be a good thing. Ideas are coming into my mind as I write this.
As my brother is quite often fond of saying, this is the kick in the pants I need to get me going.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Coins: Focusing on the physical. Beginning a regimen. Matters relating to nutrition and exercise.”
Another reminder along with the nice weather, that keeping our bodies healthy is important and a key component to a spiritually healthy life too! So we need to provide not only our physical bodies with good nutrition and exercise but this also goes for our hearts, minds, and spirits. Candles, incense, meditation, chants, and songs, and a good dose of time with nature can do a whole lot to and for our health and well-being. As winter releases its grip, good weather makes more of an appearance, and spring being just around the corner with the Sap Moon on the rise we need to break out of winter clothes and doldrums and get outdoors to welcome the burst of new life that is about to happen.
Refresh, renew, exercise, and breathe in the new spring energy that is coming over the horizon. Open arms wide, disentangle the mind from its sleepy winter blanket, and allow your Spirit to burst out with new growth and blossom as the days become longer and life once again begins anew.
Thank You Spirit.

The 10 of Coins and Growing and Evolving Through Spirit
Monday, March 10th, 2014. I awoke with the alarm. Was surprised by the alarm and I think it actually took awhile for me to register the fact that there was gentle noise outside of dream world that was notifying me that it was time to wake up. I did, slowly crawling out of bed and getting on with my day. I had breakfast meeting scheduled for 8:00am and unbeknownst to me traffic was ugly this morning and it took me 25 minutes to go about a kilometre or less and only ten minutes to go the other ten or fifteen kilometres. So I was about eleven minutes late. However the other person was close to 30 minutes late so it all worked out well in the end.
But before going to breakfast I got some espresso made and communed and worked with Spirit and Tarot. I also did this in the wee hours of the morning as I struggled with sleep. Sleep eventually won out, thankfully so.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?”
As I delve into the events of the past week and in particular this past weekend I see a new path being laid out before by and through Spirit. I’m in the process of forging my own path and taking full control of my own life and my life story. I’m growing and evolving and planting deep roots into the great energy and vast resources of the Earth, of Gaia and taking in and soaking up the great nourishment and freshness to life that she has to offer. As well, I’m been directed to take a hold of the extensive and far reaching power that is Spirit, the divine source of energy that lifts us up and assists us in finding a better and more secure path for ourselves as we grown and evolve under the guidance and direction of Spirit through meditation, communion, and knowing and the picture that is laid out before us through the wonder of Tarot.
Thank You Spirit.

The 5 of Cups and Looking Beyond Loss For Golden Opportunities
Sunday, March 9th, 2014. Well…yesterday turned into a very interesting day and it all started with about a four minute telephone call around 8:48am. My Sales Manager was on the other end of the line—“Hi, this is **** and I’m terminating your employment effective immediately…”
We had a bit of back and forth but at the end of the call I was satisfied that the reasons form my termination are not valid however I am simply moving forward and not looking back. So then I texted and chatted with the Account Manager, the subject of a meeting I had with the Sales Manager and the reason behind my termination.
What a sense of relief.
Soon after my partner and I were out shopping and getting on with our day. Yes, I talked somewhat about what happened as I processed the events over the past three and a half months and feel that this is just opening me up for a great opportunity that lay ahead.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath. Regret over past actions.”
There is a sense of loss yet a great sense of freedom that comes with the loss of my job and the trying days of turmoil put upon the workplace by the Sales Manager. I’m sad for him because he is a smart and intelligent man but fails to use those skills to the best of his abilities. The loss for me is financially painful as I have nothing to fall back upon however at the same time as I mentioned above I have the chance to bring about some change and look for and at the opportunities before me.
One of which is to become more intimately involved with Spirit and Tarot and possibly find ways through these to earn an income. My deepest and most heartfelt passion(s) is/are Spirit, Tarot and the awe and wonder of magick. I sense that this is where my own magick lies. That for to live a purposeful and purpose driven life I need to delve more into and be more intertwined with the wonders of Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 8 of Swords and Touch Choices
Saturday, March 8th, 2014. I had a decent day at work however in talking with the account manager the conversation I had with my sales manager came up and I spilled the beans on the discomfort I had in that meeting over what he said to me so I’m not sure what I’ll be walking into on Monday. Truth be told, his words have left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m very uncomfortable working with him. I like to the company and it has a lot of potential however the sales manager’s attitude and actions are doing much harm to it and are likely sabotaging the success that the company can have under the right and/or proper leadership. As the account manager told me she is keeping her options open as should I.
I end my work day early on Fridays due to my early morning networking breakfast so I took the opportunity to get into the gym and get a workout in, my third in about three or four weeks. I struggled a little bit but completed my usual workout with no problem. Surprisingly, though, I lost four pounds over the past few weeks, likely all muscle. Actually, according to the scale it was about three pounds of fat so that’s good but I need to keep focused and dedicate time to going to the gym no matter what. And I probably should eat more, eat more but making healthy choices in my increased intake of food.
Oh, we tried a new restaurant here in New Westminster called the “Hub”. The location is great as it overlooks Columbia Street, the River Market, and the Fraser River however it is too noisy for our liking. The food is quite good, my partner had their "Lamb" burger and I the "Yaletown". I’d go back but likely a weekend afternoon as it’s likely a different crowd. It’s hard to enjoy the atmosphere and location when you cannot even hear or recognize your own thoughts.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction. Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices. Feeling lonely in a crowd.”
Often times we do not realize that our own thoughts, biases, and prejudices hamper our freedom, direction, and goals in life. This is due to the fear of recognizing our faults and failings and taking responsibility for and being accountable to them. It’s not that we beat ourselves up over them but at least recognize and do our best to change and transcend them. More often than not we fear the choices we have to make in order to break free of the chains that bind us and those are often of our own doing. Sometimes choices take us out of comfort zones and are difficult ones to make because it means that we often have to realize and confront ourselves and our thoughts and actions as being the cause of our misery or failings.
Feeling trapped is often just an excuse to avoid making tough decisions. Perhaps, we need to take a risk and quit our jobs where and with no job prospects are on the horizon. Or we have to walk away from a relationship or partnership that no longer makes us happy or that was never right for us in the first place. Tough choices and decisions are hard to make and may lead to fear, anger, discontent however all these can be temporary with the right attitude and outlook. We have to remember that sometimes the easiest path is not always the right one to take. We need to find clarity of thought and often that is by making these tough choices. Clarity of thought allows us to deal with and make good decisions going ahead. We must be willing to grow and evolve.
Be willing to connect to the power of the Divine above and ground yourself with the power of the Earth below and move forward with confidence and a knowing that when we connect to these two great forces that are always a part of our lives our journey through life will be purposeful and well-lived. Keep the power of your own thoughts and identity by stepping away from the seduction of the world around us and you will never or at least not go wrong very often.
Thank you Spirit.

The Sage of Cups and Evolving to Be More Caring, Tolerant, and Understanding
Friday, March 7th, 2014. I awoke before the alarm and today is an earlier wake up time than the rest of the week and I’m thankful I did. Last week I also awoke early but turned off the alarm so it wouldn’t go off and awake my partner. I forgot to turn it back on-the intention was there as I do remember thinking to myself that I must remember to turn it on but alas I forgot.
So with the extra time I had I spent a little more time with Tarot and Spirit this morning and I’m glad I was able to. Last night as I crawled into bed I asked for help from Spirit surrendered all that I am, all that I have, and all that I desire to find true direction and purpose in my life. This coming about as I read a few chapters from “The Unmistakable Touch of Grace” by Cheryl Richardson and what I read on those few pages resonated with me and I knew I had to surrender unconditionally to Spirit.
The words on those pages have already opened my eyes and I’ve seen signs and direction arrows where I must take my life, small changes, a few detours here and there but change must happen. Yesterday, it was “I The Magician” giving me direction and today it is:
the Sage of Cups: Emotional maturity. A good mediator or counselor.
I need to be more caring, tolerant, understanding and diplomatic. I need to be neutral and do my best to understand all sides of any given situation or circumstance and do my best to be non-judgmental about what I observe. My opinions are best kept to myself on many matters and it’s not like I don’t care but I must transcend the petty arguments that often arise over our opinions. My best answer will not be “no comment” but more along the lines of “I’d like to learn more about this so I can have a better understanding of it and formulate my own take on the subject.”
I need to become more of my own person and really find myself and my own true thoughts, ideas, dreams, beliefs and dare I say even my own opinions. I need to take a step back and separate myself from the life I’m living and see where the real truth lies and then move forward from there. Who am I and what am I doing here in this place and at this time?
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

I The Magician and Being Accountable and Making Your Life Your Own
Thursday, March 6th, 2014. I slept very well last night and slept in until the alarm rudely rang and woke us up. Kidding! The alarm sounded at it was time to get on with our day. I still have a job after all and this even after have a very frank conversation with my sales manager yesterday. I was never awake long enough over night to work and commune with Spirit so I did it as I went about my morning routine.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “I The Magician: To live fully, one must create a life, not merely react to it. Creativity. Ability. Making something happen.”
I am making life what I want it to be. I have to take a detour or two and put up with a few bumps along the way but I getting it, getting my life in order and living it my own way. It’s taken me many years but at least I’ve got the message and am going about making changes so the life I’m living is my own and I solely the one accountable and responsible for the life I am leading today.
For instance back in 2006 I impulsively purchased a motorhome that I’ve never taken out on the road. She is now 26 years old and through my wishful thinking and head in the cloud ways I’ve made changes to her that give her zero resale value and although I like the changes and the way she looks her age and lack of engine maintenance are making her too much of a risk to take out on the road. This is especially true if I plan to live in her on a fairly full time basis. But I know and realize this and I take responsibility for my actions. I may be wrong and if I get a chance I’ll have her looked at but realistically speaking a newer van conversion is likely a better choice for me along with a small tow-able.
So we must learn, adapt, adjust, be responsible and not be afraid of making changes and moving beyond the errors of our ways and mistakes that we have made. We must live in the present and know and work toward the future we desire knowing that we can and will live that life if we move forward responsibly and in tune with Spirit, Nature, and ourselves.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The Guide of Coins and Experiencing the Magic of the Ordinary and Mundane
Wednesday, March 5th, 2014. I had a decent night’s sleep and the day went fairly well all things considered. I still have job even though my sales manager had an intense conversation. But the funny thing is I think that he and the account manager like to play games with the employees under their watch. So I’ve held my own with each and will play the game for as long as I can and in so far as I do not lose sight of honesty, integrity, and truth. I will keep Spirit as my highest ideal and work at this company for as long as I can while looking out for better and more meaningful opportunities such as real self-employment that possibly takes me more into working with the spiritual realm as spirit is my real love and passion.
I ended my work day early today to make up for the two hours I spent at a business function on Monday evening and upon arriving home I connected with Spirit for a time and then hit the gym for a workout after a couple of weeks of not going while battling the dreaded common cold. I feel good even though it was a bit of a struggle. No worries though as it will get easier as I get back into the swing of things.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane. Spiritual fulfillment from nature. Finding joy in the ordinary.”
I’m not a fancy kind of guy and this card is always so nice to see as I truly do value the ordinary and mundane things in and of life. I love to read almost everything and anything so books and magazines make up my biggest material collection of things and as it is I’m doing my best to wean myself of both and making use of the technology that allows me to have both books and magazines at my fingertips and almost as many as I want. For most people my partner and I are pretty boring because we try to keep our lives and home simple and as minimalistic as possible. We often complain that we have too much and likely we do so we can still divest of the odd possessions here and there. This is lifestyle and philosophy to adopt as it allows you to enjoy life more as there are very few possessions to weigh you down and then you can get out and enjoy nature more even if it just outside your door.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 8 of Cups and Making Proactive and Productive Changes
Tuesday, March 4th, 2014. Today is another day. I slept well and had a ho-hum kind of day. The highlights of my day were meeting with a networking partner at his place of business to so we can discuss each other’s business and learn how best to refer people to each other and the other highlight was coming home to my partner.
I worked with Spirit and Tarot and feel spiritually complete yet needing to make changes in my life, changes that are likely needed for me to be more productive and purposeful in my day-to-day living. As much as I wanted my current job to be a success for both me and my employer I don’t think it’s going to end that way. I do believe that the writing’s on the wall and I’ll likely be parting ways with this company rather soon. Spirit is my support and my highest ideal and I really need to dedicate some time with Spirit through meditation and contemplation.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Cups: Farewell. Moving on. Leaving behind a person, a situation, or a part of yourself.”
The “8 of Cups” is not a complete surprise for me today. When I saw it appear I knew where the card was going with this message and in fact this message was reaffirmed during my afternoon meeting with my networking partner in something he said. To paraphrase he mentioned how he had to change careers to keep himself from becoming emotionally detached from a job that he liked but at the same time was very troubling to him. Making this change led him to do what he aspired to do and that is in a sense to change the lives of people if not even save them through motivating people to adopt healthy lifestyles through eating and fitness. His gym has great energy and he made me really feel like a friend.
Thank You Spirit.
I need to make a proactive and productive change in my life and I have to do it now. I need to take a chance, that leap of faith that will lead me one or another and I’ll never know until I just do it. Take a chance on myself and my talents and abilities. I can do it! Believe in myself, trust myself, and be myself!
Thank You Spirit.

VIII Justice and Rising Above Anger and Condemnation
Monday, March 3rd, 2014. I think that last night felt like the longest night I’ve ever experienced. I thought that I first awoke between three and four in the morning however when I opened my eyes again it was only a few minutes past four. Then after sleeping for what felt like many hours and the time the alarm should be going off it was only five. Then I fell back to sleep and awoke mere minutes before the alarm thinking that it was about time. I guess in a sense I was worried that I would not hear or that the alarm was not going to ring and that I’d sleep in. I think I missed something last night thought that Spirit wanted to me to see and or experience. I was definitely awaking for a reason.
But I did during these moments of awakening I work and commune with both Spirit and Tarot. I really need to devote more time to this as well. I’m feeling quite encouraged to make a career out of all things Spirit. I’m not sure about how I’ll work out the finances for this type of work however it feels right to be reaching out in this direction at this time. My day at work kind of confirmed this for me too! I kept a level head and did not lash out when I was being belittled in front of others. I kept my cool and defended myself by discussing the work and effort I’m making in growing the business—all thanks to the strength of Spirit in my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Upon awaking I quickly got on with the day and took a few moments out to again reflect on Spirit and work with Tarot. Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgmental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”
This card sure helped me today as I showed patience and level headedness whereas in the past my more immediate reaction would have been to lash out. But even though I was being poked at in a meeting I kept my temper and anger under control. I felt sorry in a sense for the person that was not treating me well in that meeting as I’ve come to, with the help of Spirit, and understanding that this person likely feels weak, inferior and inadequate and the only way they know to overcome these feelings is to be rude, obnoxious and put people down. I do not like this person but nor do I dislike this person. They are who they are and could use a good therapist to overcome their demons but such a decision is theirs to make.
For myself, I refuse to be or to play the victim. I am Spirit. I am Tarot. I am Nature. I am the Goddess and God. For these are in all of us and are the highest ideals of ourselves that must always be the heroes we are chasing after in our lives. Matthew McConaughey said something similar to this during his acceptance speech upon receiving the Best Actor Award at the 86th Academy Awards as he felt that these three things made him the person he is today-- He needs someone to look up to, something to look forward to and someone to chase.
Thank You Spirit.

The "4 of Coins" and I SURRENDER
Sunday, March 2nd, 2014. The Moon moves into Aries this morning and it is Sunday - ARIES: Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly; but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive. And - SUNDAY (SUN): Healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection .
Yesterday morning I joined my brother and a couple of friends for breakfast at Cora’s in Surrey and as always I enjoyed my meal. I had their breakfast Panini and as always it came with a generous serving of fruit. I also had a strawberry and banana smoothie so I think I hit my daily fruit and vegetable intake quite well. Then it was a day staying at home with only a brief outing to renew the car insurance for another year and have our mid-afternoon coffee at Tre Galli in the River Market. Then I simply enjoyed our quiet evening at home. I had a great night’s sleep with dreams filled with family and friends. Although I awoke a few times I was happy to bring my dreams into my conscious and put a smile on my face.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director. A position of power. Wanting to control how others perceive things.”
I need to learn to go with the flow more as well as truly chase after my dreams. I’m sure if it came from the blog I was reading last night however something I read hit home with me. My dreams do fill me with fear so I how am I going to work through this fear and go out and pursue and live out my dreams. What must I do to punch through this fear and forge ahead with my dreams? I know deep down that I have the skills and talent to do this so why am I not doing it?
Blocked change for one. Not only am I experiencing blocked change in the work place I’m suffering from blocked change that I’ve brought upon myself. I need to give up control and go with the flow. Spirit, the cosmos, the universe, the goddess and the god and even Tarot are telling how to live my dreams but I’m failing to recognize the messages they are sending my way because I’m wanting to have too much control.
I SURRENDER!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

VI The Lovers and Grwoing a Relationship Through Spirit and Energy
Saturday, March 1st, 2014. A new month is upon us and what a great welcome to the month this morning. I awoke to the gift of life, light, and love. Spirit is always with us. If we simply be and extend ourselves beyond our everyday human senses Spirit is there to see, experience, and interact with.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences. A powerful relationship. Seeing both sides of an issue. Flexibility.”
The best way to enter into and enjoy a relationship is to put our egos in check and transcend our humanness. We must reach out and experience our spouse, partner or lover on a deeper level than meets the eye. Reach out with Spirit. Go beyond the sight of the human eye and experience them beyond the physical form, experience their spirit and energy and get to know them this way and a powerful, loving, and wholesome relationship will ensue.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
