Sunday, November 30th, 2014. The year’s end is fast approaching and it seems likely it hardly started not long ago. 2014 has been a year that moved at warp speed.
We met a new neighbour yesterday and sat and chatted with him over coffee. Seems like a decent enough fellow, we’ll likely connect with him again over dinner. We also drove out to south Surrey so I could pick up a couple of model railroad items I ordered some time ago. These orders come through every three or four months, perfect timing for me. Then before getting onto our dinner plans we made a quick run over to Home Depot so we can build our laundry cabinet. The evening snuck by us though as dinner was close to 9:00pm. A busy day!
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Coins: The Factory. Skill and mastery. Tedious, repetitive labour. Slow and methodical progress.”, complemented by “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key. Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”
Since, I am, we are moving forward with some projects around the house (condo) I/we are being reminded to take a slow and methodical approach in our efforts so we avoid making mistakes and end with very good results. Some of this will involve deconstructing an existing cabinet and revamping it to make a new cabinet more suitable cabinet for my model railroad to sit on. This new cabinet will be on wheels so I can move it around providing me with the ability to work around the layout without having to lean and stretch over it to reach what is now the back of the layout.
I’m also reminded to work carefully with my many projects and passions and do so in harmony with the powerful energies that swirl around, through, and within me so that I remain in control and positively focused on creating the best environment for myself as well as those around me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 2 of Coins Complemented by the 7 of Coins
Saturday, November 29th, 2014. We had another quite and serene evening at home. Both of us doing a whole lot of nothing and then discovering it was time for bed. Sure I read a little, took a couple of measurements for a new handmade cabinet in the laundry area, as well as pushed a boxcar around my model railroad track but that was minutes out of hours. I and I think I can even say we quite enjoyed our lazy evening at home.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi. Flexibility. “Going with the flow”. Living in tune with your environment.”, with a complementary visit from 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.”
Harmony, balance, tranquility, calm, serenity, serendipity, synchronicity are thoughts and feelings that come to mind when I think about the “2 of Coins”. Life has a certain feeling of peace and calm to it and this is re-enforced by the “7 of Coins”.
Not only do we need to work toward a balanced state in our lives, we need to be the balanced state in our lives. Allow feelings of peace, calm, and love be states of being in our lives so they are enmeshed into every atom of our being and every single breath we take.
Thank You Spirit.

Youth of Cups with Support from the Man of Cups
Friday, November 28th, 2014. We had another simple evening at home. Dinner was had and we watched a bit of TV and then I read a couple entries from one of my favourite blogs as well as browse through my Model Railroader magazine then off to bed it was for around 10:45pm. I awoke a few times the last being around 5:37 but I had a restful sleep and even though I only had another 23 minutes to sleep before the alarm I fell back into a deep sleep.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Cups: Youthful emotions. Daydreaming. Shyness.”, with support from the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer. Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others. Drawn to emotional crises.”
Emotions, creativity and a renewed focus are the messages of this day. I refocused my energy and efforts on my short, medium and long-term plans with renewed emotions and understanding of my desires and goals and what it will emotionally entail when I realize my goals. I may strike out on my own but I’ve accepted that this will be necessary and is only a new facet of and an expansion of my relationship.
Work over this past week has been hectic and draining but I transcended this drain of energy as well as the chaotic week by going to the gym to refocus and energize myself through a good solid workout three times this week.
Thank You Spirit.

The 3 of Coins
Thursday, November 27th, 2014. I awoke early and got on with my day instead of waiting for the alarm at 6:00am. I had coffee, breakfast, made our sandwiches and put all of the clean dishes away and still had time to get dressed, brush my teeth and get off to work on time.
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.”
The best way to create a great environment is to change ourselves. For instance, if we have a rough day we have choices as to how to handle the day and overcome the negative energy that may accompany us home. We can turn to food, drink, anger or conflict and allow that negative energy to take control. Or we can meditate or go to the gym and release that negative energy and breathe in the positive energy of spirit as we exercise our bodies and/or calm and clear our minds.
Thank You Spirit.

The 3 of Wands and Paying Attention to Progress
Wednesday, November 26th, 2014. I had a very decent night’s sleep likely because I had some Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Vanilla Tea. My mind was relaxed as were my dreams not that I really remember any but I awoke sleepy yet well-rested. Odd but true!
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Wands: Leaving the nest. Seeing progress. Something or someone you have nurtured must now strike out on their own.”, and this is accompanied by “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgemental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”
Life is movement and we must always be prepared to let things go and move at their own pace and on their own journey. At times we may not realize what we have nurtured that has blossomed and struck out on its own until we see it just out of reach. This is a call to pay attention and appreciate all that we have in life and all of the many things, projects, and goals that we’re working on that may have developed a life of their own. This may even includes ourselves so look in the mirror, pay attention, and actively participate in your life.
Thank You Spirit.

The 6 of Cups and X The Wheel of Life with Support
Tuesday, November 25th, 2014. Another unexpected day’s hiatus from writing and blogging after a surprise visit from a friend and dinner out.
I slept well last night and have been sleeping for many a night and also having some strange and often active dreams.
Monday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday. Fond memories. A gift given in friendship or love.” with assistance from “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real. Hope. Serenity. Clarity. Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit. A dream becomes real.”
Love is the best gift of all and I willingly give and receive it to the best of my abilities.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “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. “ and comes with support from 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 live with purpose, go with the flow, and adapt as need be. I like the slower pace of life and as such spend more time at home and doing a whole lot of nothing. Don’t get me wrong as I do go out and about but do so with purpose. I go to the gym, we go out and enjoy a meal or two, we do things that create experiences more than anything else.
I, as we should all try to do is enjoy and appreciate life and awaking each day to enjoy life for another day. I appreciate my job, the income I earn, the residence I (we) live in, the food we eat, the clean water that comes out of our taps, and the relative safe environment we live in and I even appreciate the weather as rainy as it may be.
Thank You Spirit.

XXI The World with an Appearance by the 4 of Swords
Sunday, November 23rd, 2014. We had our downtown Vancouver outing yesterday as we went for our every two year eye exams. My eyes are slightly worse but healthy. We didn’t do much other than window shop as we strolled along a couple of our favourite streets. Oh, I did make a purchase of beard oil and moustache wax since I sporting both these days. Other than that we had a quiet evening at home.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XXI The World: Life can be a heavy burden or a joyful one, it is mostly up to you. Transcending your circumstances by changing them or accepting what can’t be changed.” with an appearance by the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals. Resting and gathering strength for the next phase. A vacation or “time out”.”
Our lives are often a reflection of ourselves and as such, my life, my world is a joyful one. And my weekends are like mini vacations not that I hate my job so much as it is that I’d like to be working at or in a more “spiritual” enterprise.
Thank You Spirit.

XIX The Sun, Sage of Cups, Youth of Wands, and 10 of Cups
Saturday, November 22nd, 2014. I’ve had a good week all around so far. The work week was full of learning and educational and sometimes eye opening experiences. I’ve been sleeping rather well and I’m getting back into the groove exercising more regularly as well as focusing my attention on my passions.
Thank You Spirit.
Last night we hosted friends for dinner. There were eight of us who enjoyed great food and great conversations. Our salad, lasagne, and coconut flan with autumn fruit compote received rave reviews.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and yesterday’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 “Sage of Cups: Emotional maturity. A good mediator or counsellor.” came along in a supporting role.
My life is familiar, ordinary, simple, comfortable, and quite content.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something. Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.” The “10 of Cups: The Ideal. Your secret dreams. Attainment. Unrealistic, wishful thinking.” tempers the strength of the “Youth of Wands” today.
When I focus attention on my various projects/passions/or what have you I need to ensure that I’m not taking myself off the solid foundation I’ve been building for myself over the past eight to twelve months. I need a slow and steady pace where I stop and check to see the progress I’m making and whether or not I’m still on solid ground. I must also ensure that I’m beyond wishful thinking and working toward realistic goals and targets.
Thank You Spirit.

Youth of Wands and the Sage Cups
Thursday, November 20th, 2014. I had a decent night sleep and awoke with the alarm although I do think I was slight conscious when it sounded. We made our way out of bed and did our usual morning routine. Coffee, breakfast and also Tarot Cards for me.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Wands: Focusing attention on something. Reaching for a goal from a possibly unsteady foundation.” with clarification coming from the “Sage of Cups: Emotional maturity. A good mediator or counsellor.”
My attention these days is somewhat out of focus I would have to say. Not having the computer threw me off and my attention so out of whack because of my increased responsibilities at work as well as my desire to pursue my model railroading hobby as well as focus on Tarot and getting my new website up and running. Luckily, I have good support from my partner and my family and have a good working relationship going with my employer.
Also, my many years of experience in school, work, and life has taught me to be objective than I realize so I’m able to look at things without a lot of emotional attachment to them.
Thank You Spirit.

An Unexpected Hiatus
Wednesday, November 19th, 2014. I had an unexpected hiatus from my daily writing and blogging routine thanks to a computer failure that was apparently brought about through an unknown virus. A few computers in the neighbourhood supposedly caught this same virus. Quite odd!
I missed the whole writing and blogging affair that I’ve been doing over the past several years. I’m glad to be back in the writing groove once more.
Thank You Spirit.
Friday, November 14th saw “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 “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment. Being fully absorbed in the present. Nonattachment to goals. Seeing things from a new angle.” visit.
Saturday, November 15th, 2014. Happy 10th Anniversary to my partner and myself.
Saturday, November 15th saw “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience. A necessary destruction of the status quo. Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth. A new idea which upsets others.” and “0 The Fool: Accepting and exploring one's sexual identity is a journey of self-discovery. Beginning a new and exciting venture. Going beyond the limits of social convention. A non-conformist.” visit.
Sunday, November 16th saw “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience.

Winning against the odds. Confrontation.” visit.
Monday, November 17th saw “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences. A powerful relationship. Seeing both sides of an issue. Flexibility.” and the “4 of Cups: The Audition. A new opportunity or choice presents itself. Everything hangs in the balance. Nervousness, excitement.” visit.

And today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Coins: Rewards. Enjoying the fruits of your labour. Well-deserved enjoyment.” along with the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration. Being inspired to help others. Doing what’s right.”
These past several days have been filled with happiness, love, hope, opportunities and much more. I’ve learned al lot about myself by being more involved in my job and more committed to and focused on my relationship and what it means to be sharing my life with someone else.
I’ve uncovered and revealed the truth about myself to myself and feel good about it. Life is a gift and a joy to be experiencing and I appreciate all that I’ve experienced and gone through regardless of how I felt several days ago.

Man of Cups and VIII Justice
Thursday, November 13th, 2014. A quiet evening at home where a whole lot was not done. I didn’t do a lot other than go to the gym and make a simple dinner. Another fairly decent night of sleep and some mildly active dreams. A quieter night of sleep, thankfully and the alarm is how I awoke.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer. Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others. Drawn to emotional crises.” “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgemental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”, is also visiting today.
I must keep my emotions in check and become a completely loving person where love and peace are states of being and fill every atom of my being. I must be the very concept of “zen” inside and out.
Namaste.
Meditate. Become at peace with yourself through discovering and getting to know yourself. Find a way to become whole and complete. Be aware of your emotions and the emotions of others however be weary of allowing emotions free reign in your life. Let your own expectations of yourself guide you and be open-minded and objective and do your best to never judge another.
Thank You Spirit.

V The Priest and the 8 of Cups
Wednesday, November 12th, 2014. We had a slow start to the day then headed out to our friends place for a lunch of waffles, bacon, and sausage. We strolled along False Creek to the Main Street Skytrain Station where we hopped aboard a train and headed home. I slept rather well then active dreams popped up as the alarm drew near. I was likely in a semi-conscious state as I was aware but asleep at the same time, if this makes any sense at all.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions. Wisdom. Advice. A ceremony or ritual.” And along for a bit of clarification is the “8 of Cups: Farewell. Moving on. Leaving behind a person, a situation, or a part of yourself.”
I see these cards as a sign that if we help others even ourselves learn how to and that we can make decisions and good decisions at that we’ll learn how to move on and break free of things that may be holding us back. We may be faced with a hard decision or two but we must learn that we have to stand up on our own two feet, make decisions on our own and know that we are strong enough to handle the outcome of such decisions knowing that we made them to the best of our abilities and the information at hand.
Thank You Spirit.

XI Strength and the 9 of Wands
Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Lest we forget. Remembrance Day in Canada – may man discover peace in his heart so we can see and bring peace into the world.
We had a quiet evening at home. Being at peace with ourselves and the lives we lead. We appreciate and give value to and thanks for the simplicity of our lives. We chase after nothing for everything we need comes from within and in being in harmony with Spirit and nature.
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.” And as a reminder to vigilant, the “9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me. Defensiveness. Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy.”
As we discover and get to know ourselves we find our centres where peace and love dwell. As we focus on the very core of our beings we work in harmony with Spirit and nature and become welcoming to the purity of energy that brings opportunities into our lives.
Thank You Spirit.

Monday, November 10th, 2014. Had a bout of insomnia last night and spent what likely was a couple of hours tossing and turning. The alarm awoke me and although not ready to get out of bed I was able to do so and get on with the day.
Tomorrow is “Remembrance Day” here in Canada, a chance for us to remember those who fought for the freedoms we now enjoy.
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.” And this is accompanied by the continuing visit of the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction. Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices. Feeling lonely in a crowd.”
I need to wrap myself up in nature’s blanket and allow the beauty and ordinariness of nature and life re-energize and reignite the joy and love that dwells within me. I seldom if ever find the mundane to be boring. Quite to the contrary, I love the mundane as it makes my spirit flourish and blossom in ways I find unbelievable and magical.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 8 of Swords Accompanied by XVII The Star
Sunday, November 9th, 2014. We ran a few errands yesterday before returning home. Upon our return home we proceeded to change the window coverings for our patio door. We had drapes and now have paper panels from IKEA. They break up the dark heaviness of the remaining drapes in the living/dining area.
Then we had a relaxing evening of watching a bit of television, programs about nature before going to bed. I slept rather well however, I again awoke early. On the weekends though, I do enjoy my early mornings. I keep the lights off and work by the dim light of the morning as dusk gives way to dawn and the flickering flame of the gas fireplace.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and 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.” And the “8 of Swords” is accompanied by “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real. Hope. Serenity. Clarity. Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit. A dream becomes real.”
With faith and confidence I move ahead and find my own path. Working in harmony with Spirit as well as wrapping myself up with the pure love of Spirit and in knowing that I have the love and support of those I hold close to my heart I walk on a solid footing and reach my goals surrounded by the surety of Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.

The Ace of Cups and 2 of Swords
November 8, 2014. I’m learning more about the operations and customer service side of my new role in operations at the workplace. My role became more defined this week which has allowed me to come to an understanding of my role in the company and how I can try to move forward in this position. It requires a high degree of flexibility as well as strong shoulders in order to withstand some of the garbage that is likely to be thrown my way in the coming days and months.
We spent a quiet Friday evening at home as we most often do and had more chat time and a bit of TV time, watching our local mayoral debate on the local cable channel. It was more energetic and lively than we were expecting.
I slept well and awoke early as I expected.
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.” And in a supporting role is the “2 of Swords: Meditation. Closing your eyes to outer circumstances in order to gain perspective or to avoid a decision. Refusing to act.”
Decisions have to made and some decisions are harder to make because of the enormous impact they have on our lives and sometimes more importantly in the lives of those we love and care about. But decisions have to be made. With the “Ace of Cups”, I see that any decision should be made with love in mind and this could also be an indicator that the decision could be influenced by, if this is the right word, a new person entering our lives. Not that we want others to be making our decisions for us however this person may bring more clarity into our lives that will allow us to make a more informed decision.
Thank You Spirit.

The 10 of Cups and IV The Emperor
Friday, November 7th, 2014. Another decent night of sleep and another alarm bringing me out of my slumber. Thank You Spirit.
We had a quiet evening at home and spent much of our time chatting and watching a couple of our favourite programs, The Rick Mercer Report and This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Funny and Canadian to boot!
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Cups: The Ideal. Your secret dreams. Attainment. Unrealistic, wishful thinking.” And the card offering further clarification is “IV The Emperor: Sometimes one must be a benevolent despot. Organization. Taking charge. An authority figure. Utilizing discipline to provide a structure for creativity.”
The realization of my ideals and the coming out of my secret dreams is only realized through organization and discipline. I need to fully take charge of my life and move forward with my ideas, beliefs, goals, and active participation in my life.
We must take charge of our lives and understand and appreciate that we are, barring unforeseen circumstances solely responsible for our lives. We have control over our lives if we wish to take on such authority and responsibility and have the courage to come out of the closet and pursue of secret dreams and ideals.
Thank you Spirit.

O The Fool and II The Intuitive
Thursday, November 6th, 2014. Another night of sleep that seems longer than normal yet comfortably so. I slept well even while awaking early and getting some morning ritual completed early, then crawling back into bed and falling back to sleep and being surprised again by the alarm.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “0 The Fool: Accepting and exploring one's sexual identity is a journey of self-discovery. Beginning a new and exciting venture. Going beyond the limits of social convention. A non-conformist.” And not surprising, “II The Intuitive: To be true to oneself, one must know oneself. Looking within for answers. Meditation. Intuition. Exploring that which is normally hidden.” is the card on the bottom of the deck.
When looking at these two card I see that I need to look within, truthfully so and come to an understanding of who I am and where I need to go in life, in how to move forward and fulfill my purpose. A couple of things stand out for me and that is the significant appearance of the “crow” and the “clover” plant in my life this week. Also, the realization that my new career and related website need to be rolled out as quickly as possible, very much before the end of the year.
Thank You Spirit.

V The Priest and VIII Justice and Coming to Decisions
Wednesday, November 5th, 2014. Sleep was fantastic last night. I did awake briefly for a bathroom break or so I remember but the next thing I know I was just becoming consciousness when the alarm sounded. What a nice way to awake. The only better way to awake is to awake when I awake without the help or interruption of an alarm. Soon this may be more than a wish a simply the way it is.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot card is “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions. Wisdom. Advice. A ceremony or ritual.”, with support from “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgemental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”
To best move ahead and away from feeling restricted by living up to or for others’ expectations is to learn to make own decisions through research and gaining as information as I can in order to the most educated decision I can. A reminder that launching my website is solely up to me and I need to gather more information in order to make the decision to launch my new website. As well I need to do the same when it comes to making a decision about purchasing a used but new to me van conversion.
Thank You Spirit.

The 5 of Swords with a Hint of the Ace of Swords
Tuesday, November 4th, 2014. We had another quiet evening last night. We really didn’t do much not even watch TV. I flipped through a model railroad magazine and that was about it. Oh, I browsed a couple of sites looking at van conversions, then it was off to bed early.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Swords: The Tennis Game. Being overly competitive. A game which gets out of hand. A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”, and as a supporting card is the “Ace of Swords: An idea. Starting to develop a plan or strategy.”
These cards are reminders for me to keep from falling into the trap of competitive behavior as competitiveness is not always a healthy thing as winning or losing is not all life is about. In addition, I need to be keep from always developing new ideas and instead focus my energy on existing plans and strategies and modifying them as necessary in order to move smoothly into my new career and financially independence.
Thank You Spirit.

XXI The World with Support from XII The Hanged Man
Monday, November 3rd, 2014. So much for gaining an hour of sleep; I think I lost about three between awaking early yesterday and getting to be much later than I’d hoped last night. We had friends over for dinner and they left around 10:30 so by the time we cleaned a little bit it was after 11 by the time we crawled into bed. Then I awoke at some point and couldn’t get back to sleep and tossed and turned for many hours until the alarm sounded. No worries.
I’m alive for another day and the weekend was a pretty darned good one overall so all is good. A good dinner with friends and more wonderful conversation made for a good end to the weekend.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XXI The World: Life can be a heavy burden or a joyful one, it is mostly up to you. Transcending your circumstances by changing them or accepting what can’t be changed.”
We often get hung on the least important aspects of life such as material possessions, worrying about keeping up with the Jones’ and trying to live to meet others expectations. Doing this makes life more of a burden than a joyful one. Yes, life can be difficult however many a time we can make changes that will allow us to move beyond minor inconveniences that should be of concern to us.
The “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment. Being fully absorbed in the present. Nonattachment to goals. Seeing things from a new angle.”, is a reminder to us to live in the moment, to pay attention to the here and now and what is right front of eyes. Goals are real, and although important we must be open-minded and flexible enough to adapt to new ways of achieving our goals or adapting our goals in ways that may change them slightly but still remain important enough for us to chase after them.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 3 of Cups also with a Visit from the Sage of Wands
Sunday, November 2nd, 2014. A relatively quiet day yesterday and a bit disappointing as our new washer and dryer could not be installed yesterday. But we survived that minor inconvenience and just moved along with other more fun activities. I tinkered around with my model railroad.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Cups: A Good Time. Happy, comfortable times together. Quiet enjoyment. Celebration.”, with support from the “Sage of Wands: Wanting to change the world. Changing your environment by winning others over to your viewpoint. Critical acclaim. Politics.”
A nice reminder to enjoy the simple things as well as the simplicity that life can offer when we are tune with ourselves and work in harmony with Spirit. Not always easy to do but some days are just simple and filled with simplicity and worthy of quiet enjoyment and fulfilled happiness.
When we are tune with ourselves and with Spirit others are more easily inclined to be on our side “so-to-speak”. They’re more comfortable with who we are and how we think as we communicate with them and extend ourselves through the unifying spirit of all that we are.
Thank You Spirit.

I The Magician with Support from XIX The Sun
Saturday, November 1st, 2014. All Saints Day.
“SATURDAY (SATURN): Longevity, exorcism, endings, homes, and houses.”
“PISCES: The focus is on dreaming, nostalgia, intuition , and psychic impressions. A good
time for spiritual or philanthropic activities.”
Yesterday was a more relaxing work day and we had a quiet evening at home. I celebrated Samhain by simply being me for the day and doing my best to keep Spirit and my connection to the spiritual world top of mind.
Thank You Spirit.
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.”, with full support from “XIX The Sun: The best moments in life are rooted in the ordinary. Contentment. Optimism. Ordinariness. Satisfaction from a job well done. Familiarity.”
I live and participate in life instead of sitting on the sidelines watching it go by. I live for myself as best as I can and in so doing choose to live a simple and ordinary life. A boring life by some standards I suppose but it’s my life and I’m living it my way, for the most part.
Since I decided to live my life more me than for others my life has improved. My life feels full and complete. I have no desire for material goods or material gain. The more active I become in my life the more control I have over it and the simpler my life becomes. All of this comes through my connection with the Divine. I’ve done my best to eliminate want, need, and greed from my life and all the better I feel as this allows me to fully embrace my spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
