The 8 of Coins of Taking a Slow Methodical Approach

Tuesday, September 30, 2014.  I had a decent night last night albeit still feeling under the weather.  A friend popped by to visit however I cut the visit short as I started feeling more under the weather than earlier in the day and wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed.  So off to bed around 10pm again last night.

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.”

So another message to continue to move forward with my goals through growing spiritually by way of continued work with Tarot, meditation, coaching and chakra studies and of course, working on my model railroad.  So over the next nine or ten months I’ll be working toward my new career and travels in a van conversion.  I want to be debt free and free of any large financial obligations other than vehicle insurance, food costs, and telephone and internet fees.

Sometimes the slow approach is the best one and the best way to go about achieving our desires even though we often want them to happen sooner rather than later.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XII The Hanged Man, Present Moment Awareness and A Willingness to Learn

Monday, September 29th, 2014.  I awoke earlier than the alarm, no surprise to me as I always do this when I’m home alone.  Go to bed early and awake early.  This turned out to be a good thing as I prepared my own breakfast and lunch so I was able to relax a little more with the extra 30 minutes I had.

I relaxed last night by piddling around with my model railroad.  I was looking at the layout and trying to envision a town plan for the available land on the layout as well as come up with new colours for the Atlas Suburban Passenger Station I’ll “build” somewhere on the layout.  It does come prefinished but I’m not keen on the colours so I’ll simply change it.  I’m planning to put the station along the mainline and the actual town site along a siding on the opposite side of the layout.  I tinkered around with this until about 10pm and then went to bed.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment.  Being fully absorbed in the present.  Nonattachment to goals.  Seeing things from a new angle.”

Today is a day about being totally immersed in the here and now and this is what I did the entire day.  Although, I do have plans and goals I’m working for they do not take away from my presence and awareness of this day and the focus I have on performing my work duties as well as the other tasks and things must be taken care on this day.

I also realized that even though I have plans for the future and how I’ll go about seeing them through I still do not know everything.  In fact I likely know a whole lot of nothing about everything.  We can never know everything and likely should not expect to.  Instead, we should always keep an open-mind and an insatiable desire to learn throughout our lives, always keeping our eyes open to new world views and new opportunities to improve our lives.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

A Wonderful Week in Montreal

Sunday, September 28, 2014.  I arrived back from our week in Montreal while my partner is visiting friends in Ottawa.  I could only take a week’s vacation.

Montreal is a beautiful city, likely my favourite Canadian city other than Vancouver.  Vancouver wins out because of its milder climate more so, the mild winters we get.

On Saturday, September 20, 2014, I wrote:

I’m here to help others feel at ease in the world as reminded by the “Guide of Swords: A wider perspective.  Altruistic thoughts.  Messages from the higher self.”

I do this through my experiences and related philosophies and by being open-minded and flexible.

The most important things I can do are use my mind and assert as well as doing my own thing.  I really do not need worry myself so much about what others may think.

I know what I need.  I know what makes me happy.  I know what I need to do to fulfill my life’s purpose and be happy doing it.

I need to travel each and every day and I just discovered that Canada alone has about 900,000 kilometres of roads.  I’d like to travel as much of this distance as I can to fulfill my “helper” role.

I’m a gypsy at heart.  I know this all too well and have beaten down my longing to travel for far too long.  This repression of my natural tendencies must come to an end!

On, Sunday, September 21st, 2014, I wrote:

We arrived in Montreal at 4:45pm local time yesterday as the wheels of the plane touched down on the runway of Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport.  We caught the 747 Express bus to the Latin Quarter of Montreal and arrived at out hotel, Hotel St. Denis around 6:00pm.  We ate a less than average meal at “Amir”.

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.”

Movement that occurs through the Divine or Sacred Awareness of one’s purpose in life and the understanding and appreciation for it and how best to fulfill it.

As I was working with Tarot the thought came over to write an email to Jag, a salesperson at Fraserway RV in Abbottsford asking him to be on the lookout for a pre-loved van conversion for me.

An additional thought is to get my own “new” website up and running as soon as possible.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Blessed Mabon.  Happy 1st Day of Fall everybody.

Awaking to our second full day in Montreal.  Yesterday we simply walked around the Latin Quarter and along Avenue de Mont Royal.  Lots of funky and cool looking shops in these areas.  One such shop is Charme et Sortilege at 4933 Rue de Grad PrĂ©.  I picked up some incense as well as a Tarot Cleansing and Protection Kit.  The store has a lot of stuff I’ve not seen in other similar stores.

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.”

I choose to control my life, my outlook on life and how I interact with life.  The glass is half full and I’ll try to see the positive in all things, situations, and circumstances.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

On Tuesday, September 23rd, I wrote:

We had another great day here in Montreal yesterday although the first day of fall kept us cold as we battered by a cold wind as we walked about “Old Montreal”.

We met friends from Vancouver for dinner and entertainment as we enjoyed food and live jazz at the UPSTAIRS Jazz Bar & Grill that’s actually in the basement, hence the upside down “UPSTAIRS” on their sign related advertising materials and menus.

Our friends left early as they were tired from traveling all day so we hung out another hour or so longer before heading to another “club” for a drink or two.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card of the Day 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.”, and is accompanied by “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real.  Hope. Serenity.  Clarity.  Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit.  A dream becomes real.”

I’m doing my best to be non-judgmental (Namaste) as well as open-minded and understanding.  I also no longer abide by others’ expectations and will do my own thing, all within reason, of course.

Namaste, Spirit is real and I’m clear-minded enough to know I need a newer RV of sorts, such as a van conversion so I can have a “place of my own”.

Thank You Spirit.

On Thursday, September 25, 2014, I wrote:

“Ace of Cups: A gift of love.  The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.” – powerful relationships come about with the presence and guidance of Spirit. (Guide of Wands)

However, I must also make note here that we visited Montreal’s “Biodome” yesterday.

On Friday, September 26th, 2014, I wrote”

“5 of Cups: The Aftermath.  Regret over past actions.”, tempered by the “4 of Wands”

On Saturday, September 27th 2014, our last partial day in Montreal, I wrote:

“XIII Death: Endings are beginnings.  A phase of life is over.  Allowing time to mourn.  A part of yourself has outlived its usefulness.”, tempered by the “Guide of Cups”

Sunday, September 28th, 2014.  Yesterday, I flew back home by myself as my partner visit friends in Ottawa for a few days.  The flight was seemingly full of people with coughs and colds and ailments of all sorts and the plane also felt like a sauna.  A dad was traveling with his infant child yesterday for the first time and they sat in the row in front of me.  The child did not let up for much of the flight, crying and screaming more times than I could count, many a time he/she was calling out “mama”.  On top of that the guy in the seat behind me kept pushing on my seat with his feet and would let up so I was never able to sit in a comfortable position for long.  Then as the flight wore on I started feeling as “sick as a dog”.  Feeling slightly better once off the plane and out of the airport.

But I survived and besides that Montreal was fun experience and great place to visit.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card id the “Ace of Wands: A creative inspiration. The beginning of a project or venture.”

As were in Simon’s in downtown Montreal a few days ago I saw few articles of clothing that gave rise to how I should go about displaying, if you will, my spirituality without it being too “in your face” so-to-speak or too outlandish or loud.  This more applies to the energy and presence I wish to create with the launch of my “new” website and the beginning of my “new” career.  Simply put, I just want to be “me”.

Is summer 2015 the time for me to come out of my “spiritual closet”?

Hhhmmm…

Thank You Spirit.

Guide of Swords and Listening to Higher Thoughts

Friday, September 19, 2014.  I slept quite well considering I did awake a little before 5:00am and then quickly fell back to sleep.  I was semi-conscious when the alarm sounded and was actually quite ready to get out of bed.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Swords: A wider perspective.  Altruistic thoughts.  Messages from the higher self.”

I see myself as a helper and this seems to be if I’m interpreting the message and energy correctly what the divine source also has in mind for me.  I see myself as an assistant to and for others so that they can discover, get to know, understand and appreciate themselves for who they really are much like I’m doing and have been doing for the past several months.  I always feel good when I can talk to and especially listen to others.  I really do love hearing other people talk.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 7 of Wands and Not Giving Up Regardless of the Struggle

Thursday, September 18, 2014.  I slept well last night and was just awaking as the alarm sounded at a bright and early 6am.  I awoke feeling very good and ready to get out of bed even though it’s early and I have to go out of the house and work for the day.  Things are coming along nicely though as I’m appreciating my job more yet knowing full well that it is a temporary measure and that my true calling is the life of a nomad.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “7 of Wands: Fighting the wind.  A Quixotic struggle.  Winning against the odds.  Confrontation.”

I’m on my way to living my life as a nomad and realizing my dreams however I still have a way to go before it is fully realized in terms of the way I see it.  But then again it could be sooner or even a bit later but realize my dreams of living life on the road, I will.

I must as well all must and this is to be true to ourselves as best we can be.  I’m not sure how it will all work out nor do I have a detailed list of what my life will look like once I move into and live life full time on the road but I’m okay with not having all of the details.  Life will be what it is and I’ll do my best to live it fully and as true to my purpose as I can.

The point is that we all have to try.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 6 of Wands and Standing Up and Believing in Ourselves

Wednesday, September 17th, 2014.  I slept very well last night.  I slept right up to the alarm.  Very cool.  Last night was simply a night of relaxing and enjoying life.  I read one of my favourite blogs.  I read one of my favourite magazines.  Fantastic!

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Wands: The Parade.  Appreciation for those who stand up for themselves.  The courage of one’s convictions.  Admiration, acclaim, pride.”

I as we all must not do and this is to not to give up on ourselves and the pursuit and achievement of our dreams, desires, and goals.  Balanced approaches to making decisions and taking actions bring harmony and divine energy into our lives and is quickly followed by the success we desire.  We must stand up for ourselves and see ourselves as worthy of achieving our cherished dreams and goals if we expect to bring them to fruition.

For instance, I working at a job that pays me decent wage, provides me with enough money to put toward and quickly pay off my debt that allows me to then focus and turn more time and attention to my passions that I can more comfortably pursue without any debt hanging over my head.  And if I do my research and may an informed decision I should also end up the proud owner of a van conversion that will allow me further achievement of one my longest held passions, traveling and exploring this wonderful continent.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

VI The Lovers and Energy to be Free Yet Fully in Love

Tuesday, September 16th, 2014.  I slept rather well last night.  Don’t remember awaking much during the course of my sleep and only briefly before and knowing that the alarm was going to go off in a matter of minutes.

Last evening was a quiet night at home after reheating and enjoying leftovers.  Didn’t watch much TV either.  Was not really interested in the news and hit the bed shortly after turning that on and off after briefly catching the first couple of news stories.

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.”

Powerful is a relationship that has grown and blossomed to such a degree that conversations are honest, sincere, loving and heartfelt and our love surrounds in all that we do.  It is this energy that can really give each of us the power to accomplish much outside our relationship and allow us to be apart yet remain fully committed to all that we have.  Our love gives us our individuality, independence, and freedom to be our own persons and allow us to go our way when we need to.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 5 of Wands and Letting Go of a Few Things In Order to Make Progress

Monday, September 15, 2014.  Last night was a bit of a restless sleep for the both of us.  Likely too hot to get into the nice deep REM sleep that is so conducive to awaking feeling well rested and refreshed enough to tackle a new day.  But then we had a great evening of conversation, honestly, love, tenderness and understanding.

Must have been the three or so hours we spent at the beach with a friend yesterday.  Soaking up the Sun was great however the water was just a tad too cold for my liking but I did get in it up to my waist.  Not many people braved the water though regardless of how hot the Sun and sand were yesterday.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Wands: The Hockey Game.  The project meets resistance.  Testing one’s ideas against others.  An enjoyable struggle.  Competition in the marketplace.”

It’s time to let go for awhile and simple let things “be” for a spell.  I need to step back and take stock of everything as well as what is happening in both my personal and work-a-day life as things have changed and the energy has shifted and changed direction since I was last paying attention.  On the way home this evening the thought came to me that I need to devote more focused energy on my job than on my desires, dreams and goals.  Not that I’m abandoning them rather that the job is going to have bigger pay-offs if I give it some real dedicated attention.  My deepest passions, goals, and dreams will then fall into place as I want them to.

I’ll be putting more energy to the job but without abandoning my own plans in the process as I am needed out there on the road and need to get out there quickly but not do it by being ignorant of the needs now standing in front of me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 3 of Swords and Learng, Gowing and Evolving From Past Hurt and Pain

Sunday, September 14, 2014.  With today being Sunday, this day is about “healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection.”  The Moon is now in Gemini and anything started today is “easily changed by outside influence”.  Communication and fun activities should be the highlight of the day.

We ventured out for a bike ride near Pitt Lake but never rode through anything other than the parking lot as we quickly discovered that we walked the trails before and that it was far too busy for us to ride our bikes.  So we loaded the bikes back onto the car, drove, to a new development in Port Coquitlam, I guess it is and had lunch at A&W as Five Guys was closed due to equipment problems.  Then we shopped for a few things we needed before coming back home and simply doddle around the rest of the afternoon and evening.

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

The “3 of Swords”, a firm reminder that I must learn from my past, then leave it behind me, live in the present, make well thought out decisions and let my future, the future of my desires unfold before me.  But all of this hinges on me changing my ways.  I need to make real change and not simply think about it.  This change or these changes must be a state of being, not simply something I work toward,

The best way for any us to deal with past hurt and pain is to learn, grow, and evolve from it, becoming a better person from the experience.  This is best done by embracing our present and making good decisions today knowing full well that these decisions we make today will affect our future.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

3 of Swords Tempered by the 2 of Wands

Saturday, September 13th, 2014.  Yesterday was another productive and instructional kind of work day.  I’ve been learning something new each day I work with another employee of the company we all spend eight to nine hours of our time trying make the business a successful one.  I guess they are not doing too badly as they’ve been around for about sixteen years.
We had a relaxing evening even with the drive out to Iona Beach in order to try and catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.  I think we got out there too early, just shy of 10:pm and left slightly after 11:00pm without catching sight of anything other than the blinding headlights of all the cars that were driving by.  We got to bed though around midnight and I slept rather well.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Swords: The Wreckage.  Feeling heavy-hearted after an emotional storm.  Feeling hurt or betrayed.” that is tempered by the “2 of Wands: Confidence. Being the king of your castle. Preparing the ground for a new venture. The dawn of an adventure.”

I am no longer, as none of us should be, held back by past hurts and pains.  We must extinguish the past that haunts us and oftentimes becomes larger than life when we are feeling down and/or vulnerable.  When we close the door to that pain an new one often opens to a new path for us to follow, a new path we never thought possible, a new path that is lit and becomes clear once we accept new knowledge and insights that come our way when our minds our clear of the haunting past that has no place in our presents or the shaping of our futures.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XX Beyond Judgement and Being the Real Me

Friday, September 12th, 2014.  I slept well once I got to sleep.  This cold I’m battling really acts up during the evening hours and then my sinuses tend to drain making it hard for me to breathe.  So I cough a bit, struggle to clear my throat and then settle down as sleep finally overtakes.  And as usual I awoke slightly before the alarm.  Likely this will also happen tomorrow, awaking before 6am even thought its Saturday and I should be sleeping in.

No worries though as it gives me more alone and quiet time to simply “be”, be with Spirit and Tarot, briefly meditating before revealing the days Tarot Card.  I’ll light a candle tomorrow morning but will forego the incense so as not to compromise my sinuses anymore as this cold already has.

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 think I’ve finally realized that I’m a bit of a misfit of society as I’m seemingly at odds with how I’m supposed to live my life according to the rules of modern society and struggling to do so for the last 20 odd years of working.  I need to give in the desire of my soul and move in the direction of living life on the road and whatever it may bring into my life.

I’m going to simply drive along as many roads as I can and help as many of the people I encounter along the way that I can.  This can no longer be an “if” or “when” manner of thinking I need to do this in order to keep my spirit alive and thriving.  This has to “be” regardless of the risk and uncertainty that it brings to my life.

I accept myself. I love myself.  I’m going to be the real me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

VI The Lovers, Flexibility and the Ability to Make Decisions

Thursday, September 11th, 2014.  I slept quite well last night only awaking a short time before the alarm.  However, I notice I have an afternoon sleepiness that comes upon me around 1:00pm especially when I’m in a vehicle.  In the office I have enough distractions that I don’t notice that I’m sleepy and then maybe not.  Maybe it’s being in the passenger seat and the motion of the car that’s lulling me to sleep.  But I’ll just let it pass and not think about it too much as I’m fighting off a slight cold.

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.”

Choices, am I, is anyone else feeling like they are at a crossroads, facing a decision, or many decisions?  I feel like this as I have dreams and goals I’m working toward that come with risk and uncertainty but I’m also working at what appears to be a stable, well-paying job that is not all that bad and is becoming quite enjoyable really.

But then, my dreams, my goals speak to my soul.  This is re-enforced by the related blogs I read and how the stories lift my spirits skyward and sing the songs of my soul.  I have a few things I need to do but I can certainly take the leap when an opportunity arises for me to do just that, such as owning a van conversion.

I saw one on the way home this evening and I’ve seen several during my travels with my co-workers as I go about learning, understanding, and appreciating the work they do for the company we all work for.  And not only do I simply see van conversions of all shapes and sizes I see different vans of the exact one I’m hoping to pick up this fall or winter.  A sure sign that I should take the fork in the road that leads to the songs that sing to and bring joy to my heart and soul.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 4 of Coins and Relinquishing Control

Wednesday, September 10, 2014.  I slept well however, I was covered head to toe with blankets and awoke damp with sweat.  I do remember throwing the blankets off a time or two because I was hot but awoke as many times feeling cold so I covered with the blanket again.  The I as I awoke knowing it was near time to get up with the alarm I became hot and sweaty on top of the already damp and sweaty clothes I was in.  I guess I can just blame it on the cold I’m battling.  Simply wished that it was not a work day so my morning is more relaxing.

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 let go and surrender my controlling nature and leave it up to Spirit to take care of things.  I need to co-operate and work with Spirit, with nature and do what I can to control and direct my own life instead of worrying so much about what others think and do in life.  Every bit of energy that emanates from me must be purely positive and unconditionally loving so that I send out goodness, kindness, and love into the world that is in such desperate need of it these days.  The only life I need to control is my own and I need to leave others to their own devices.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

X The Wheel of Life and Being Aware

Tuesday, September 9, 2014.  Another fairly decent yet dream filled night of sleep however awoke maybe an hour before the alarm and ended tossing and turning until the alarm sounded.  And then I moved a bit slowly this morning and was running a few minutes behind schedule though, I made it to work at pretty much the same time.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “X The Wheel of Life: If life on the rim makes you dizzy, move to the centre. Awareness of the cycles of life. Equanimity. A change in fortunes. Guidance from your future or past self. “

I’m getting a picture in my mind that I need to get more active in my new career by way of taking what I’m learning and earning now to make it happen so I can slow down in and with life by way of my new career.  If I want to be in the new career then I have to be engaged in the new career.  I need to keep my eyes open as to when the curtain will rise on my next act.

Sometimes things are found or come from places or people you least expect.  So keep your eyes open and maybe slow down the pace a little so you can catch a glimpse of an opportunity that is waiting for you around the next bend in the road.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The September 2014 Harvest (Super) Moon

Since, I rarely get to see the Full Moon from indoors we made a quick jaunt outside to catch the Harvest Full Moon, the third "super moon" this year, three in a row, I heard--July, August and now September.

I love to sit under a moonlit sky and simply "be".  However, this evening I brought with me a couple of Tarot Decks so I could bring them out and allow them to absorb tonight's wonderful moonlight.  This is the Pagan Tarot and the Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot.

I snapped a few photos with my phone and then we sat for 10, 15, maybe 20 minutes just soaking up the moonlight as it rose in the evening sky.  I shuffled each the Tarot decks for several minutes as the Moon and energy of Spirit filled them with the wisdom, knowledge and history of the cosmos.



Thank You Spirit.

The Youth of Coins and Moving Ahead in Life Through Healthy Living

Monday, September 8, 2014.  I had a bit of a sleepless night last night awaking every hour on the hour so it seemed.  I was feeling a bit congested when I went to bed and found it difficult to sleep as my sinuses were always draining and interfering with my breathing and sleep.  I did sleep but not very soundly.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Coins: Focusing on the physical.  Beginning a regimen.  Matters relating to nutrition and exercise.”

I’m going to limit or eliminate altogether, alcohol from my diet.  I enjoyed a bit of wine over the weekend and my body was telling me to cut out the alcohol.  I’m going to also try and cut down on my caffeine intake as well.  Yesterday, we visited Steveston and enjoyed walking through the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market after which we stopped for a coffee and a snack.  The coffee was terrible but the vegan and gluten free snack I had was great.

And going to the gym and otherwise keeping active is also going to be my focus and part of this is to focus on getting my new career, business, and website up and running as quickly as possible.  No conventional career for me this late in the game.  I’ve to go for it and see what happens.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 10 of Coins and Appreciating the Life I Have

Sunday, September 7th, 2014.  As I started typing today’s entry the thought came to me that I better pick up the pace in getting my own new career/business venture off the ground.  This week including today must be about reviewing my new website and filling in the accompanying form regarding changes I want to see made as well as booking a tutorial appointment which for me ha to fall on a weekend as sounds to be somewhat of a special request.  Further to this I need to register my “business name” as well and a part of this is the need to submit three possible names so I’ll sit down and think about that this afternoon as I’ll have about an hour to myself which will give me ample time to review, think, and come up website changes, dates for appointments, and two more possible business names.

Thank You Spirit.

We relaxed for about three or so hours at the beach yesterday.  The weather was just too perfect to not go and enjoy a day at the beach.  It being September and the weather on a downhill slide, the water was quite cold so for me it was more of a “soak up the sun and relax on the beach” kind of day.  After the beach we sat and relaxed with an iced coffee beverage from one of the many coffee places that dot the lower mainland.  Then it was simply a relaxing evening at home.

Thank You Spirit.

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?”

I lead a good life, a life that is pretty easygoing and blessed.  I live in a peaceful democracy where not much happens for the most part.  Crimes do exist and take place on a daily basis but for the most part life in this neck of woods is nothing to complain about, at least from my perspective.  I have plenty of freedom and opportunity to live life my way.  I have the opportunity to learn and adapt and appreciate history and what history has to teach us and on top of all of this I am for the most part the author of my own life.  I control enough of my life to make myself comfortable and happy with how I live it.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

IV The Emperor and Taking on a Role of Authority in Our Lives

Saturday, September 6th, 2014.  Awoke early this morning but did my best to fall back to sleep and when I did not feel too much sleep coming on I did my best to meditate.  It wasn’t the best meditation as many thoughts flew through my mind however I feel all the better for doing it.

Last night was a quiet evening at home.  I hit the gym after work and for the first time in months I was actually able to do all the normal weight routines I’ve tried to do each time I visit the gym.  Last night the gym was very quiet and I simply relaxed and went about my normal gym routine.  Then we watched the news before preparing dinner, leftover over chicken and quinoa and a light salad.

Today is beach day at least for now it is.  Things could easily change but the weather is definitely beach weather and may be the last of the year at least for us.  We like going to the beach but like the temperatures to be at a certain level or we won’t go.

During my meditation I was seeking clarification or answers about my goals, my desired career as well as the new website I had designed for this new career path I wish to embark upon.  I did not feel any discomfort about and as I sit here thinking about it all I see an answer has come through for me in the way of Tarot and so this leads me to today’s visiting Tarot Card:

“IV The Emperor: Sometimes one must be a benevolent despot.  Organization.  Taking charge.  An authority figure.  Utilizing discipline to provide a structure for creativity.”

Answers come in many forms especially when we pay attention and keep our eyes open to seeing them.  Moving ahead with my new career path and corresponding website will take organization and discipline as well as a healthy dose of creativity.  Additionally, I need to use my skills, talents, and experience as best as I can to make a success of myself and one the ways I can do this is to seek further help if not education surrounding areas of this new career where I may be lacking in a specific skill set that will be necessary in assisting people in certain areas of their lives.

We must take charge and move forward in order to achieve our goals and move ahead with our plans.  Many of have more than enough experience as well as the skill sets to do this if only we trust and believe enough ourselves in getting the job done.  However, having said this we must also not be reluctant to seek help or guidance in order to move our plans forward and heck even some crazy ideas may be just what we need to move ahead in life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 10 of Wands

Friday, September 5th, 2014.  A favourite day of the week that comes ever so slowly then disappears all too fast as seemingly do Saturday and Sunday.  Such is life.  And besides, I’m okay with that.   I slept quite well last night, at least I think I did and I’m feeling much more like the type of career person I’ve wanted to be all along but never knew it until a few months ago.  Thoughts and dreams and behaviors all tell me that I’ll be pretty darned good in this career as soon as I can make the take the leap and make it happen.

Thank You Spirit.

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

I understand the “10 of Wands” than I did in the past as I’m putting into practice many of the things I’ve learned since being introduced to new and exciting spiritual paths 15 years back  Never more so than what I’ve learned over the past year.  Blame and guilt are slowly but surely leaving both my vocabulary and my mindset and relieving me of the pain, worry, and anxiety that has plagued since my early adult years.

Many a time we make things far worse than they are or ever should be by allowing negativity and negative thoughts enter and take over our lives.  Our thoughts and reactions need to inspired by the divine and we must strive for sacred awareness each and every day of our lives where every experience is a spiritual experience.  We must live as best we can and take each day as it comes doing our best to make each and every day the best one.  Live in the present, treat day as sacred and unique and leave the problems of yesterday behind you so they do not ruin each new day.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

7 of Coins, 3 of Cups, and Sage of Cups

Wednesday, September 3, 2014.  I had another decent sleep albeit with a bit of tossing and turning in the last hour of it.  But I’m happy with the sleep I’m getting as well as with the wages I’m earning and the experiencing I’m gaining so I do not mind as much I used about having to get up so early for a job.

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.”


I guess I am on a cleaning and cleansing journey as I sort through the mass collection I’ve amassed over the years.  And last night as I dreamed and slept and dreamed some more I realized I have much more I can part company with than the small pile I have sitting in a corner of the livingroom.

I’ve also got much to clear out of my mind and behavior that will allow me to move forward rather quickly.  An undercurrent of progress is moving along quite nicely.  I can’t really describe it however there is definitely a forward movement happening in my life these days.

I’m ready to move forward with the review of my new website and review my options for a training session regarding the upkeep of my website and the changes I can make myself.  So I’m getting close to launching my website and registering a business name.

Do you chores that will help you make your life better, take a rest, review the cycles of life, clear out the cobwebs and then move forward with life at your side.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Thursday, September 4th, 2014.  We had a great evening and a dinner out last night as we reconnected with a friend.  However, sleep was calling and we called it an early night, in bed by 10:30pm, I think.  I slept well but wanted to sleep more but the alarm put that thought to bed as did another day of work.

Today’s Tarot Card is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time.  Happy, comfortable times together.  Quiet enjoyment. Celebration.”


Yes, life is humming along at a happy, comfortable pace and we are getting along very well these days.  I’m comfortable with myself, my feelings and where I’m headed in life.  My job is good and I like working for the company.  Yes, my goals are still my goals but I must focus on each day as it presents itself.  My own business and new career will unfold as they should that is for certain but between now and then I’m working hard at my job and I’ll be buying a van conversion as soon as I can put and make time to do some serious searching for one.

The supporting card for today is the “Sage of Cups: Emotional maturity.  A good mediator or counselor.”

This card is definitely a card with significant meaning for me as it reminds that the tarot cards I’m connecting with each day as well as my focus on balancing my chakras and the books I’m reading about interacting with people are having a profound influence in the way I interact with people.  This is a great reminder to me that I’ve reconnected with my past self where mediation and counseling abilities were a big part of who I was back when I Was in my 20’s.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Ace of Cups and Divine Love

Tuesday, September 2, 2014.  I slept rather well albeit I did awake an hour before the alarm thinking I overslept.  Luckily, though I fell back to sleep and awoke a minute before the alarm sounded.  I was feeling kind of tired this afternoon but the sleepiness quickly passed.

Yesterday we had breakfast with my brother and hung out with him for a couple of hours.  After dropping him off we headed home but I felt guilty for ending the visit with my brother so soon so I want to find an opportunity to spend more time with him in the next couple of weeks or so.  Last night was quiet and uneventful, we didn’t even find a movie we wanted to watch so we just piddled about the evening doing a whole lot of nothing.

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.”

This day is filled with Divine Love all around even though watching the news may not make it seem that way.  But in my little world love is definitely in the air—Divine Love fills me head to toe.  I feel content, satisfied, comfortable with where I am in life, with my relationship, with the circle of friends we keep.  I’m even satisfied with my job and where its taking me.

However, I’m also looking forward to living life on the road in whatever form it takes.  I see van conversion in my future and the faces of many people who I will come into contact with as I go about my travels throughout North America.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XVIII The Moon, Divine Energy, Namaste

Monday, September 1, 2014.  Four more months and 2014 is giving to 2015.  The year has been a quick moving one and life has been rather enjoyable I would have to say.

Yesterday was grocery day and visits from friends day.  We shopped for groceries early in the morning and visited with a couple of different friends, one mid-afternoon and the other in the evening.  An all around good day as I also piddled around with my model railroad layout.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XVIII The Moon: People are acting clannish and very emotional.  Don’t join the crowd.  Read between the lines.  Your intuition is very strong right now, but you’re still likely to be deceived.  This is not the time to start anything new.  Have patience.  When reversed: Everyone wants things done his or her way, so go easy on yourself.  Take a mental-health day to get away from your responsibilities.  When you come back, roll with the punches.  Don’t be too trusting or willing to go the extra mile—unless you can afford it.”

The best way to move forward with this day is to draw on Divine Energy as well as connect with people on an energetic level.  Namaste…( In Hinduism it means "I bow to the divine in you.").  This way we bypass as best we can our human condition that often fails us and connect with each other on a much more divine level…projecting and receiving loving energy from one another allows for better communication and understanding.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
