Christmas in Seattle

Saturday, December 27th, 2014.  A happy rainy and dark Saturday welcomed us out of bed.  After a quick trip down to Seattle we’re back home.  After I finished my work day we headed south.  The drive was uneventful as was the customs and border crossing.  Upon checking into our room we headed out to rustle up some dinner for ourselves if we found any open establishments on Christmas Eve.

Much to our surprise several stores, bars, pubs, and restaurants were open.  One such place was Edge of the Circle Books.  So in we went so I could browse the store.  I love this establishment and as proof of this I walked out of there $60 lighter in the pocket but carrying a new Tarot deck, “Tarot, The Kingdom Within” by Juno Lucina and Shannon ThornFeather and a t-shirt by “The Mountain” company.

After which we looked for food to satiate our hunger and into Charlie’s Bar and Grill we found ourselves going.  Was the food awesome, not by a long-shot but it was good and the atmosphere was cozy and the server friendly and a pleasure to interact with.

Soon we were back in our room snuggled up in bed as sleep settled in.  Thank You Spirit.

Christmas Eve’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” with hints from the “9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me.  Defensiveness.  Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy.”

Christmas Day’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 further hints from the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction.  Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices.  Feeling lonely in a crowd.”

Boxing Day’s (December 26th) visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love” with some hints from the “6 of Coins: Dependence.  Resentment because of financial dependence on another.  Charity.  An unequal relationship.”

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration.  Being inspired to help others.  Doing what’s right” with a hint or two from the “7 of Swords: The Messenger.  Carrying your plans through obstacles.  Speed is important.  Someone brings news or a message.  Carelessness.”

The sights, sounds, experiences, and dreams over the last several days leads me to believe that I must do more to change myself so that I have a more powerful and positive impact on the world no matter how small of an impact it may be.  I feel really good, more than good really when Spirit is strong in my life and when this is the case I feel that I am radiating out into the world positive and loving energy that permeates the space around me and fills people in the area with hope, love, and optimism.  And the great thing is that we can all do this in our own small, little worlds and in fact some of you out there may have a bigger impact than you think.  So stand tall, spread your wings and fill the world with love, light, and hope.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
