The 'Ten of Bows, Responsibility' and Building a Future

Sunday, August 9th, 2015.  I had a relaxing day cleaning and organizing my model railroad space in the afternoon after a quick visit to 'Serenity' our new to us Class B RV, a 2005 Pleasure Way TS Excel Van.  I really enjoyed cleaning up and making my model railroad space look better and taking a few photos inside and of the exterior of the van as well as spending a few minutes lounging on the rear sofa of the van was quite inspiring.

Oh, I created a small spiritual nook in Serenity before I headed back home:

As inspiring as being in the van was I know I have some hard work ahead of me as responsibilities must be fulfilled and I need to grow into fully being Wizard Oron before jumping in the van and taking off for parts unknown.  As part of this I marked on the calendar things I'd like to get done during the evening hours and last week I did accomplish any of them so I have to get myself moving on better time management and start doing these things so I can move forward at a quicker pace.  One of these being to sit in silence or meditation.  Getting myself into this practice will really help things fall into place, most certainly.  Another area of practice I need to get back into is ventriloquism.  Practice, practice, practice...

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is "Ten of Bows, Responsibility: Whether you volunteered for the task or it is thrust upon you by unforeseen circumstances, it is a time to accept responsibility.  Do so with good humour and stoical resolve and welcome any daunting challenge with humility and enthusiasm.  Although the timing may be unfortunate or inconvenient, the issues of dealing with responsibility are often a matter of simple self-confidence.  The learning curve may be steep and appear insurmountable, but once the task is fully understood and effort is expended, many valuable life-lessons can be learned.  The effect of taking responsibility in your family or close tribal group can also have far-reaching effects beyond your personal sphere.  By leading from the front and taking responsibility for any past failures or inappropriate actions, you disarm and neutralize self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy.  It is an honour and a sign of respect that your peers trust you to complete this task and handle the responsibility, knowing you will fully commit to this quest until completion.  This understanding should support and enhance both your sense of self-worth and self-respect."

The "Ten of Bows" sounds like it is alluding to the work week ahead where I'm the acting 'commander-in-chief' so-to-speak as the owners are away for a quick one week vacation and all of their responsibilities fall onto me along with the responsibilities I already have.

The "Ten of Bows" is also a reminder to me that as I push and in my desire to transition from simply having a 'job' to a career of self-employment in the area of spirit, ventriloquism and blogging I have to learn the ropes of good sound financial management as well as responsibility and accountability and balancing all of this with living life on the road.

On top of all of this in the process I will become more confident and eliminate any lingering feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy that get the better of me from time to time.  So let's all take a deep breath and get on with fulfilling our obligations and move through them as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
