The 6 of Cups and Spreding Love and Kindness This Day

Sunday, August 31st, 2014.  Yesterday was a productive day.  We did a bit shopping, picked up some items to complete a home chore and a few items to further move along my burgeoning model railroad empire.

So today, my crafting cabinet is now resting on some feet, and the plywood yet to be converted into doors for the cabinet fit the space now that the cabinet is a little taller by about an eighth of an inch.  We picked up a couple of clothing items, pyjamas, I guess you can so we have something more comfortable to lounge around the apartment in, and we also picked some dishwasher detergent.

Thank You Spirit.

Today is full of love, sweetness and light.  I give of my love freely and will do all that I can to send forth loving and caring energy throughout the day. 

The reason for this might be related to today’s visiting Tarot Card, from my “Whimsical” deck, the “6 of Cups: Your personal magnetism is on the rise.  Be firm in affairs of the heart.  Don’t let the past detract from the present.  This is an excellent time to start a new love affair, renew vows, or relocate.  When reversed: Make good on all your promises, but don’t give in to unreasonable demands from others.  Be constructive in your efforts to solve problems; refrain from being pushy.  Find time for deep belly laughs and new friends.”

Let’s fill our hearts to overflowing with love, let the divine touch our hearts so we can send out the overflowing love to those around as well as to those in need so they can sense and even feel that someone is thinking and caring about them in some way.

Spread love, kindness, and generosity throughout the day in whatever fashion is most comfortable for you.  Be kind and loving, starting with yourself.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Wands and the Balancing Card - the 8 of Cups

Saturday, August 30, 2014.  One of my favourite days.  My favourite days of the week are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  However, this is only because I have a job and work for someone else.  I’d likely feel different and did feel different when I was more or less only working for myself than anybody else.  For a short time, I was an independent contractor servicing prepaid phone card vending machines.  The money was not great but I sure felt good about being my own boss.  And today, I’m rediscovering the way I felt back then, recapturing the feelings and energy of being financially responsible for myself as well as being my own boss.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Tarot Cards comes to us from my “Whimsical” deck and is the “5 of Wands: People around you are cranky; morale is low.  Stay calm through the chaos and remember who you are.  Read all of the fine print—legal troubles are possible now.  When reversed: You don’t always have to come up out on top.  Accept compromises and apologies.  Reprioritize.”

And the “balancing card of the day”, the card on the bottom of the deck is the “8 of Cups: Self-sacrifice is likely to be asked of you.  Beware of quarrels; use caution in negotiating affairs of the heart.  Attention spans are short, so don’t take anything too personally.  Count your blessings and try to be content with what you have.  When reversed: Emotions run high.  Let go of situations that no longer concern you.  Spend some time and money on the things that make you feel good.”

This morning I awoke knowing exactly who I am as I fell asleep after a slight spell of being unable to sleep with the knowledge of who I want to be that became knowing who I am.  Everything is coming together and today I keep an open and compromising mind.

I briefly looked at an email this morning that made me realize that my desire to be out on the open road and working for myself is a balancing act for me.  I work and the type of work I’m setting out to do requires a high degree of energy that will drain me and being on the road is like my retreat where the energy I expend comes back to me by the mere fact I’m out on the road enjoying life the way I know I must do.  Driving down the highways and backroads of this land is like my serene oasis, my retreat where I get away from it all so I continue to have balance, harmony, and love in my life.  While at the same time it allows me to self-employed.

So today let’s all do our best to keep open and compromising minds so we keep the day balanced and harmonized.  Let’s do our part to keep the energy of this day positive and full of love.  Let’s be thankful for the blessings we have as small as they may be for some of us.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Coins and Keeping Spirit Top of Mind

Friday, August 29th, 2014.  I slept seemingly quite well albeit I was feeling a little sleepy or tired as the afternoon approached the end of the work day.  However, I made it to the gym for the second day after about a two week break from my workout routine.  I’m doing my best to commit myself to going to the gym as often as I can, five days a week is my aim.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

I need to be as spiritual as I can be at all times.  Spirit must be a focus each and every day of the week.  I must continue to maintain sacred awareness and treat every experience as a spiritual one.  I want to even go so far as to wear more spiritual jewelry so I have a reminder of how important spirit is to me as well as to have something to focus on during spare moments that come throughout the day.  This will allow me to be better able to provide assistance to those in need.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 10 of Swords and Finally Taking Control

Thursday, August 28th, 2014.  I slept well but it was more of conscious sleep he last couple of hours rather than the much loved deep sleep that let’s and be awake feeling refreshed and ready for the new day ahead.  I felt like sleeping in this morning but work was calling so out of bed I crawled.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Cards is the “10 of Swords: You Choose the Script.  You can choose to plug yourself into a negative viewpoint, or to unplug yourself from one.  The end of a bad situation.  Hysterical overreaction.”

I as we all need to realize and accept and participate in is control over our own lives.  Yes, sometimes we have uphill battles but we must strive to maintain as much control over who we are, how we behave and how we react to what goes on in our lives.  So as this reminder has popped quite frequently over the last while we all must heed this message and take control over our own lives and move forward with our own plans as best as we can.

My will and intent are mine to control and as long as I work with Spirit and do all things with spiritual and sacred awareness my actions will be in the best interests of all.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 6 of Cups and the 4 of Swords

Wednesday, August  27th, 2014.  We hit the beach after work yesterday.  An hour’s drive later, we were sitting comfortably on Wreck Beach, having taking a quick jaunt into the cold water.  We tried the water again a little later but it was still cold and not more than a couple of people were actually in the water at this time.
The last of our house guests left yesterday morning so we have our place to ourselves once again after a week of hosting, outings, and other activities.  It’s nice to see family however it’s also nice to have our own space all to ourselves.  Would be nice to have a larger space however, it’d be too big for us to warrant the expense of owning such a home.  Besides, I want to simplify and downsize my own things so everything I own can be fit into a van conversion or camper van fitted with perhaps a trailer hitch storage pod.  I’ve learned a valuable lesson and I will be parting with my Class C RV quite soon I think.

I had a good night’s sleep and a productive day today.  Work is humming along quite nicely and I’m more comfortable with working at it while I work toward financial independence through paying my dues as well as my debts.  Debts paid in full and a growing bank account suit me just fine.

Since we awoke quite early yesterday, I took my Tarot Cards with me and worked with them during my lunch hour.  Not a bad time to do it and the experience was good as always but I much prefer the morning hours for this activity.

Spirit Is and Tuesday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love.”

I’m happy with where I am in life and sure I could have done things differently however I had a lot of great times and experiences and have not much to regret.  Lessons learned and a new approach to life never hurt.  I’m quite and know what I want to do and where I want to go so all is good.

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”.”

A quick break to settle down after a week of visitors and non-stop activity and back at it I will be.  I need to go through my new website more thoroughly and see what I might want to change, then submit those changes along with a proposed training session on how to work on the website myself and then it will be launched.  I will also do my best to submit a business name to the provincial government for review and approval so I feel more legitimate with what I’m doing.

So today should be about total relaxation before some hard work and fun begin to move us all into the futures of our dreams.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 10 of Wands and the 10 of Swords

Monday, August 25th, 2014.  I had a pretty good sleep last night even with a bit of an active mind and crazy thoughts that wound their way through my mind and dreams as I slept and awoke and slept some more.

We had a busy day yesterday as we crossed the border into Washington and made a day trip to Whidbey Island, this time in sunny summer weather.  Langley and Coupeville were as picturesque as could be in the mid-summer sun.  Deception Pass is absolutely breathtaking and I definitely want to spend a night or two camping in the state park.  Sunset along the waterfront of Fairhaven could not have been any better—a worthwhile experience anytime one can make the time to catch it.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and Sunday’s visiting Tarot Card of the day is “10 of Wands: The Burden.  Responsibilities.  Obligations.  Overcommitting yourself.  Realizing that burdens are a part of life.”

My life is mine to control and control it I will.  Along with the Divine touch of grace I will live my life the best I can with the circumstances I find myself in.  It is what it is and I will simply make the best of it.

Monday or today’s visiting Tarot Card of the day is the “10 of Swords: You Choose the Script.  You can choose to plug yourself into a negative viewpoint, or to unplug yourself from one.  The end of a bad situation.  Hysterical overreaction.”
Again things are as they are and I need to make the best of it.  Some of the experiences I’m having these days can be directly attributed to past decisions, errors, and mistakes I’ve made.  I can transcend much of the wrongs I’ve done if you will but still need to deal with some of the residual stuff left behind.  Today I make my decisions knowing that they can directly impact my future so I must act wisely and with a high degree of Spirit thrown in there too!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Cups and Realizing My Past Still Haunts Me

Saturday, August 23rd, 2014.  I had a decent night’s sleep and we even got to bed early and had a stay at home evening as well.  It was great not doing anything except stay at home.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath.  Regret over past actions.”

And though I thought that my past no longer haunts me, thoughts of things I regret came to mind as I awoke this morning.  Things that shouldn’t bother as I can easily remedy one particular regret fairly easily and I might just do what came to mind along with thoughts of my RV-cut my losses and move on.

I need to get rid of this and other regrets and all of the guilt associated with these and other things I might be forgetting so my future can come and grab me by the hand and pull me into the life I need to be living.

We played tour guides as well as tourists in our own backyard and checked out the Sea to Sky Gondola.  The ride is quite spectacular and the views are awesome.  I’d love to visit when no one else is around so I could soak up the atmosphere and energy of nature as I walked the 1.6km worth of trails that make up the rest of the attraction.

We had lunch in Squamish at the Howe Sound Inn and Brewing Company and as was the case last time the beer and food were great.  I also realized as I looked at the scenery as we lingered about Squamish for a bit is that I love the feel and energy of this small community.  Then I noticed that Squamish is home to a Tarot Card Consultant and the ideas started flowing through my mind…

…more to come later…

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Ace of Coins, 3 of Swords, Guide of Cups, 5 of Cups and the In-laws Visiting

Friday, August 22, 2014.  It has been a crazy busy week in my life with the in-laws visiting and an itinerary that has us doing things almost every evening this week as well as into the weekend.  But I’m managing and luckily sleeping quite well with fewer hours of sleep and an eight work day to work through.  The only rough day was Tuesday.  I had an inkling of headache that finally took hold around 3:00pm and lasted well into the evening with a few lulls in the blinding pounding that allowed me some time to help prepare and eventually eat dinner.  When I awoke Wednesday I felt much better, not 100% but relieved of the massive migraine that seemingly was not going to end.

Thank You Spirit.

This week’s visiting Tarot Cards are:

Tuesday, August 19th - “Ace of Coins: A gift of security.  Starting to build or construct something.  A fertile environment.”

If you want to change your future, create and build it.

Wednesday, August 20th - “3 of Swords: The Wreckage.  Feeling heavy-hearted after an emotional storm.  Feeling hurt or betrayed.”

A rough night often gives way to a brighter day.

Thursday, August 21st - “Guide of Cups: Messages from your heart.  Altruism.”

I am renewed and refreshed and better able to help others.

Friday, August 22nd - “5 of Cups: The Aftermath.  Regret over past actions.”

My past no longer haunts me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 7 of Coins - Chores, Slight Changes and Welcoming Something New

Sunday, August 17th, 2014.  We ran a few errands in preparation for the in-laws’ visit this coming week.  We rested for a bit before taking a stroll through New West Pride’s Community Street Festival, grabbing a coffee, running another errand before coming back home.  As evening approached and we contemplated dinner our plans started to gear up for an impending changed.  My partners nieces are already in town with their mother and one of them had some free time last night so we again headed downtown to meet up with her.  We walked around, sat at English Bay watching the sunset before having a light dinner at Raincity Grill (good food but a bit pricey) and dessert at True Confections (great desserts but too sweet for me to eat all at once...doggy bag please!).  We then walked the niece back to where she was staying before returning home ourselves.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “7 of Coins: Chores.  Resting after a job well done.  Contemplating life's cycles and changes.  Planning your next move.  Clearing out what's unnecessary in your life to make way for something new.”

The “7 of Coins” asks us to take stock of our progress by taking a step back and seeing the larger picture.  We likely have achieved more than we think, may need to tweak things here and there to make slight improvements and should also not be shy to get rid of things that no longer fulfil their purpose in our lives so we can welcome change into our lives.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Coins and VIII Justice

Saturday, August 16th, 2014.  After work yesterday upon arriving home I made a quick of clothes and then we headed downtown to meet up with friends for drinks and dinner.  We had a pint of beer at the Irish Heather before hopping across the street to have dinner at L'Abattoir.  Great atmosphere at both of these establishments and the service and drinks and food were quite amazing.

Thank You Spirit.

Yesterday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

The “5 of Coins” brought to mind the realization that the hardest truths that we must often face in our lives are the harsh truths about ourselves and some of the greatest rewards in our lives are a result of us facing the harsh truths about ourselves.  And with this thought in mind I realized that I've created much of the adversity I've felt and experienced in life and this realization helps me not only help myself those around me as well.  We become liberated and free of the many fallacies of our lives that hold us back and keep us from realizing and living the lives we are meant to and must live in order to appreciate the real meaning of life.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”.  An unfair judgment.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”

Today’s visit of “VIII Justice” continues the theme of facing the truth about ourselves and being accountable for our actions by accepting responsibility for them.  This allows our karmic debt to be paid in full if you will and allows us to move on to brighter days and greener pastures.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 4 of Swords and a Little Bit of Rest Before the Activity That Must Come

Thursday, August 14th, 2014.  Another odd night of sleep.  I was awakened by the alarm however, I was in a semi-conscious state most of the evening.  And it was somewhat slow going this morning and I was trying to work with Tarot when the TV was turned on.  This did not minimize the impact and message of today’s visiting Tarot Card, the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals.  Resting and gathering strength for the next phase.  A vacation or “time out”.”

I’ve rested for a spell and need to get on with producing the future I want for myself by moving forward with my plans.  I need to set aside time to sit down and create an agenda and other plans as to how I wish to move forward with my coaching efforts, Tarot Readings and Chakra Balancing.  In order to do this I need to read and study so I can do this in the best interests of my clients.  The next two weeks though look like a complete write-off as the in-laws will be here anywhere from 5 to 10 days.

So time to rest and contemplate and possibly record my thoughts on these matters as I do have a 60 minute lunch hour and a nice little digital voice recorder.  Ah…a solution has come to me…as I can eat my lunch in about fifteen minutes which gives me almost 45 minutes in which to read and record my ideas and resulting plans.  Perfect!

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

VII The Chariot and Taking Action and Being Active in Life

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014.  Another somewhat sleepless night as I awoke well before the alarm.  I think I’m sleeping, just not deeply and in that all important REM state.  However, the good thing is that I discovered why I am having these occasional sleepless moments in the all important last few hours of sleep each night.

I need to seriously engage myself in my spiritual pursuits and do a better job in meditating and meditating on Tarot Cards.  I need to be more true to myself and more true to my purpose.  Today’s visiting Tarot Card, “VII The Chariot:  Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one's game.  Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely).” points me in this direction. 

I see that I often feel like I’m spinning my wheels and I am because I’m not pay due diligence to the things that matter to me.  I need to be active and take action if I expect results.  So with this in mind I’m going to take more and more control over my life and my future as I’ve trying to simply slide through life in this new job I have but deep down I know this job cannot be in my future.

So, if you find yourself spinning your wheels in life, take a step back and really see just how involved your are in making your life happen.  Seizing an opportunity requires action but action based on a solid foundation, knowledge and a proactive approach to life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Youth of Coins and Getting Physical

Tuesday, August 12th, 2014.  I awoke early but in a happy mood.  I knew I didn’t quite get enough sleep and that the alarm was likely about hour off but was not superbly bothered by this as before.  And when the alarm sounded I knew that I’d like to fall back into sleep mode but instead allowed myself to simply be for a few minutes before hopping out of bed to get on with the day.

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.”

Speaking of the physical and the “Youth of Coins”, I need to balance my base or root chakra.  I do have piece of red jasper so I can meditate with this crystal/stone and find balance this way.  I can also devote some time to nature and enjoying the great outdoors.  The other day, Saturday evening as we were strolling along Comox Street in Vancouver a large tree caught my attention.  One of the more elder trees in the neighbourhood I think and the bark especially drew me to this tree.  Thick bark with deep crevasses, and much wisdom and Divine energy did this tree have.  It was hard to keep walking by as I could myself having great conversations with this humble and wise tree.

Thank You Spirit.

And of course, I need to devote more consistent time to keeping myself physically active as well as exercising my brain.  So tomorrow is gym day no matter what and I need to do more with Tarot.  If you ever feel energetic grasp hold of and use such energy to improve your life and the lives around you.  Or simply get out and enjoy the great outdoors and soak in the offerings of Gaia, of this wonderful planet we are so privileged to call home.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Coins and the 9 of Swords

Sunday, August 10th, 2014.  We had an easygoing day yesterday for the most part as I was just running around do this and that while my other half marked final exams.  Then as evening approached we made our way downtown Vancouver to connect with some friends as they hosted us and fed us a great dinner of barbequed red peppers and chicken with a mango and blueberry salad and coconut and pineapple rice.  A great evening of food and conversation.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

This appearance of the “5 of Coins” is a challenge to me to real give my spirituality the kind of attention it deserves.  I must have my spirituality as a state of mind and put into practice what I preach.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Monday, August 11th, 2014.  A new day and another early morning where I kept myself awake by over thinking and not letting things go.  I have a good life and I must accept it as it is for now.  I’m making my life better by being challenged by this well paying and rather secure job so I must continue to have patience and solidify the dreams and goals I have for my life.  I must create and build a solid foundation for myself so I can reduce the stress and worry of living life on the road.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Swords: Unquiet Dreams.  Stress.  Worries.  Mental tapes which play over and over.”

I knew I’d see the “9 of Swords” this morning.  Since I pretty dread having to awake at 6am and then rush off to work I often wake up in the wee hours of the morning and my thoughts just start flying around with no end in sight and I can lay awake for several hours because of this.  Luckily though I’ve often been able to overcome this through thinking thing all matter of Spirit and suddenly find myself being awakened by the alarm.  My perfect way of sleeping is by not having a fixed schedule so this is why I find myself struggling.  But all in due course, and much patience is required to get me through the next ten or twelve months.

Belief, knowledge, faith and trust in one’s self are where the “9 of Swords” must take us.  We need to get on with living life and adjusting as necessary in order to make our way through life’s journey and living true to ourselves.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XX Beyond Judgement, Blowing Winds, and Self-Expression

Saturday, August 9th, 2014.  I had a decent enough night’s sleep although a few thoughts and worries crept in to keep me awake for a spell.  However, the power of spirit helped me overcome these and get back into a much needed sleep.  I did awake with vague thoughts of life on the road and then the thoughts and worries from the night crept back into focus.  But I’m done with them now.  It is what it is and I’m moving on.

Thank You Spirit.

Last night we stayed in and simply let the evening drift on by and carry us off to bed at a fairly early hour.  But getting plenty of rest is good for us—works well with eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise as well as exercising our brains with our personal endeavors.  My focus is all things spiritual, hence my eclectic spiritual nature; I am a model railroader; and I’m for now an avid armchair Rver.  I do have a very nomadic nature about me and really think I need to hit the road soon.  Oh, and ventriloquism is also something I dabble in.  Too many passions to really focus on anything of them but they all bring me pleasure.  However, discovering present moment and sacred awareness has helped me realize that all I do is a spiritual experience worth having so I will continue on and as necessary adjust, change, and transform as needed.

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.”


I must, we all should strive to give outward expression to our inner identities.  We should all be willing to have the wind blow through our lives taking away what is unnecessary to make room for the new that comes to us with that wind.  Such actions bring about self-acceptance, and self-expression.  Let us spend some meditating and open the doors to our future, to the future a crack and see what it looks like and how we can strive to do now what will make for a better future.

Transform, transcend, and move forward into the future as the real you by making changes here in the present.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Coins and Digging For Answers

Friday, August 8th, 2014.  I had a great night’s sleep even with awaking a few minutes before the alarm.  I’m also feeling much better and more focused today than I was yesterday.  I think it was do the thoughts that came into my mind as I relaxed and contemplated life during the evening.  A few things I’ve neglected or given up on have come back to life and in a good way too!  I’ll keep it under wraps for now but I’ve got get on with it and take that giant leap of faith that’s been nagging at me for the past eight or nine years, if not longer.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

This is not just about lacking material goods or wealth this is about being able to display our spirituality or need to dig deeper within ourselves to see what we are in need of or may be lacking.  How often do we hide our spirituality so as not to offend, face ridicule or simply to keep it to ourselves.  How often do we find we are lacking in money not necessarily because we are in need but desire to keep up with the “Jones”, if you will.

Oftentimes, money can be an issue however we may be pushing it away from us rather than attracting to us because of our attitudes and pessimistic outlook on life.  Find ways to stretch that dollar and find other ways to enrich your life without need of materialism.  Simplify your life by becoming more minimalistic and see the weight on shoulders lighten or disappear all together.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Ace of Cups of High Spirits

Thursday, August 7th, 2014.  I had a decent night’s sleep and awoke very slightly not long before the alarm.  I do believe that I had a good six hours of sleep.

Although, I found it hard to keep my focus at the job.  I was a bit scatter-brained today and even on the way home.  But after hitting the gym I'm feeling much better and more focused and present in the present.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Cups: A gift of love.  The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.”

The day is about good feelings and good overall energy in every aspect of my life.  The job is going well.  My relationship is strong and vibrant and I’m developing a great state of being for myself.  Love is in the air so-to-speak as most everyone was in a good mood and high spirits.  It’s also a great day to listen to your heart, your feelings and your intuition.  Allow yourself to be guided by the inner voice, your higher calling and bring light and joy to others by doing so.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 3 of Coins and Bringing Benefit to Others

Wednesday, August 6th, 2014.  I remember what seems not long but is actually 4 months ago how I thought I’d be working on my business project and having it much further along than I do but the reality is that I’m kind of spinning my wheels a little bit.  I need to sit down and write out my plans again and then stick to them and some the items can be worked on during my “free” evenings and weekends, heck even during my lunch break.  I have to get on with it.

More images during a bit of daydreaming where I’m passionately working with Tarot, many different decks and with many people around—on the beach, in a park, on the side of the road, in a parking lot.

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 can often get lost in an activity and as a result find that time has passed me by.  When I bake or am intently and passionately preparing a larger dinner than usual time can seemingly disappear quite quickly.  Even when I work with Tarot, on the weekends that is I can easily lose track of time.  I’m also find this can happen at the job and that working as part of a team at my job does provide me with a great sense of accomplishment and realization that I’m much more skilful and talented that I give myself credit for.

I need to embrace these newly realized skills and talents and bring these together with better planning and preparation so that I can successfully launch my website and business embracing the spiritual energy that encompasses me and my ideas so I can be true to divine grace that fills my life.  Launching my website and embracing my business with sacred awareness and with great appreciation for the spiritual experience it gives to me allows me to do more than anything else work with others to bring better energy and success to their lives.

Thank You Spirit.

VII The Chariot and Energy Driving Us to Success

Tuesday, August 5th, 2014.  I slept quite well last although I did have a few waking moments thinking it must be time to get u so I interrupted my own sleep thinking that the alarm was going to sound at any moment.  I likely awoke a few hours before the alarm so I need to do a better job of relaxing myself when this happens.

I awoke feeling quite good and got on with the morning starting with working with Tarot and Spirit.  Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VII The Chariot:  Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs.  At the top of one's game.  Seizing an opportunity.  Having everything under control (barely).”

Movement is around the corner.  Our energy should be being released soon for growth and movement in areas of goals and desires.  My energy is high to see my goals through where they take off and grow in ways I haven’t even thought about.  Images of how I can move forward and grow in all areas of life come to mind daily and it is daily that I need to put them into practice.

Enjoy this day of good tidings and energy that wants to drive us through to success.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 6 of Cups, Fond Memories, and Unexpected Acts of Kindness

Monday, August 4th, 2014.  Happy Birthday to my sister!

Today is a civic holiday, a very much appreciated and valued day off from work.  This summer is a challenge for me as I feel like I should be out traveling on the road.  Every time I see a vehicle that looks laden with people and their vacation supplies I feel a tug on my spirit that I should be doing the same thing traveling o the road enjoying the sights and sounds of nature and all that fills our sight, our senses, and our spirits with the tender soothing caress of nature.

Yesterday we took in Vancouver’s 36th Annual Pride Parade along with about 650,000 other fine folk who value acceptance and diversity as well who wish not too harshly judge or label others because they are different from them.  The parade was festive, lively, and fun.

Then we grabbed a bite to eat before walking with the masses at the parades end and the rest of the day’s festival events.  We walked through the festival, grabbed a coffee on our way home where we grabbed the car and proceeded to take care of our weekly shopping. And relaxing the rest of the evening watching the last remaining bit of “Cloud Atlas” we did not finish the night before.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love.”

Fond memories as I was still shaking of the night’s sleep I seemed to be recalling memories I do not recognize as my own from the past but more likely memories from the future I have yet to experience.  Gifts, small gifts of appreciation that make the deepest impressions are the aim of the day—breakfast in bed, flowers just because, an unexpected peck on the cheek, or doing chores without being asked or even helping a stranger across the street or carrying their heavy bags for them.  Acts of unexpected kindness go a long way today.  Let love and kindness become a state of mind where they are naturally on display each and every day.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

IX The Hermit and Sacred Awareness and Spiritual Experiences

Sunday, August 3rd, 2014.  Yesterday was a pretty darned relaxing day.  We checked out another naturist’s beach in the Surrey/White Rock area and decided it was a nice hike rather than a nice beach to relax at and soak up the Sun.  So we decided to head toward Wreck Beach via a lunch break at Fat Burger.  Then I remembered that there was a sporting event at UBC, the access point to Wreck Beach, roads and parking areas were to be blocked off and closed so Wreck Beach was out of the question.  We returned home and relaxed as best we could before heading out for a shady spot in the outdoors to get some fresh air.  But first we had ourselves each two scoops of gelato from Tre Galli.  We strolled along the quay then grabbed a shady bench and relaxed for awhile simply chatting and enjoying the river view and the people also strolling along the quay.  Soon we found ourselves home after buying a few things at Donald’s Market to make a couple of sandwiches for dinner.

Oh, after a month or so of growing a beard I decided to shave it off yesterday and boy do I miss it.  I’m growing it back.
Last night I had dreams about Tarot Cards and crystals and interacting with people regarding why I had them and what I did with them.  Nice.  I do my best to maintain sacred awareness and experience everything spiritually including sleep and the semi-conscious state I sometimes find myself in.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “IX The Hermit: To fully understand something, sometimes you must escape it.  Gaining perspective.  Solitude.  Study.”

This is about taking time out so I can hear the voice within.  The voice that is more often than not drowned out by all the external noise and distraction in our lives even those that we may think are valuable enough to pay attention to.  It’s not so much escaping as it is embracing a healthy dose of silence and solitude in our lives so we can indeed have that sacred awareness in our lives where we view life through divine eyes as the divine view life through ours.

At times we might not even need real solitude but simple sacred awareness to see the divine voice all around us.  The birds singing in our neighbourhood, a single flower growing in a crack in the sidewalk, the caress of a warm summer wind, the waves of the ocean massaging the sandy beach or the sunlight filtering through the trees in the park that seem to create an oasis for us in the middle of nature—take a moment, close your eyes and breathe.

We are all connected, it’s time to pay attention to and be more aware of this connection and power, energy, love, peace, and comfort it can bring into our lives and the world around us.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 4 of Wands and Signs of Progress

Saturday, August 2nd, 2014.  I had a decent night’s sleep all likely because today is not a “work” day where I have to get up and drive to a “job”.  However, my nights of sleep are up and down and I’ll live with this until such a time as my debts are paid and full and I can more comfortably jump from a well paying secure job to a more risky self-employment venture.  But I’m willing to make the leap and the wheels are already in motion.

I’ll work toward my self-employment with the launch of a website and new business idea in the coming days and do my best to work as I can for the clients that drop by and seek out my services.  I may have to busy up my evenings and weekends to do it but in the end it is a worthy investment of my time and I’m very happy to do it.

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.”

Progress is being made through compromise, harmony, and balance as well as going with the flow and working with instead of against the abundant spiritual energy that is working in my life these days.  I’m developing a good rhythm and flow of energy at my “job” as well as fleshing out and solidifying my plans and goals for the future through short meditations and dreams.  I’m also paying more attention to life and am much more engaged in sacred awareness and the spiritual experiences that abound each and every day.

Thank You Spirit.

Also, during the shuffling of the cards, the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane.  Spiritual fulfillment from nature.  Finding joy in the ordinary.” was making his presence known.  Twice, he almost flipped out of the deck as I shuffled it.  The “Guide of Coins” is reminding where I find the most enjoyment in life and in order to bring more harmony and balance into my life I need to keep my focus on the simple and mundane things in life as well as the joy I get from being a part of “nature”.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 3 of Swords and the 2 of Coins

Thursday, August 1st, 2014.  Well, I missed a day.  We hit the beach as soon as I got off work and drove an hour to get there.  It’s worth the effort though on most occasions when the true “Wreck Beach” crowd is as it’s peaceful, tranquil and soothing to the spirit.

Yesterday was a good day as I accomplished a day, almost two days worth of work, having to process orders to accommodate the long weekend.

Thank You Spirit.

Yesterday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Swords: The Wreckage.  Feeling heavy-hearted after an emotional storm.  Feeling hurt or betrayed.”

Today, I understand the “3 of Swords” better than I did yesterday although I do still have to make a call to someone from my past that I’d really rather not make but I’ll do it later this evening.  But today I faced some facts about myself that lightened my spirit and really improved my overall mood and understanding of my life.  Facing the truth honestly makes it less painful and easier to work through and/or overcome.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi.  Flexibility.  “Going with the flow”.  Living in tune with your environment.”

I need to spend more time in meditation and with Spirit.  I need to work more balance and harmony into my life by “Going with the flow”.  I’m in a pretty good place now and should simply spend some time enjoying myself and what my situation in life allows.  I’ve come to understand my own life and the flow of my own personal energy and likely the best way to work with it as I become more self-sufficient, self-reliant, and self-employed.  As an example, I know that I need to work at my current job until I am absolutely debt-free unless of course, Spirit has other plans for me.  However, I understand that I have some karmic debt to pay as well so I’m embracing my jog and going with the flow so that my bank account is more in the black than in the red.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
