XVII The Stars and Re-Opening Our Eyes to Spirit

Not much time to relax yesterday morning as we had to head for eye exams around 9:00am  so we could get downtown in a timely manner and make our 10:00am appointments.  Here I thought my eyesight was getting worse yet I walk out of there with a better prescription than I walked in with, well at least for one eye.  My right eye didn't change.

We met friends for lunch at Hamburger Mary's before coming back home.  Oh, since we had time to kill before lunch we walked through Nordstrom, don't think we'll be shopping at this sore any time soon...each to their own but looking at a t-shirt on the clearance rack and still seeing a price of $195.00 is a bit much.  I worked briefly at a high end clothing retailer about ten years ago receiving and shipping stock and the quality of the clothing was really no better than something I could find in H&M or Old Navy for example...my opinion only though.

Once we returned home I relaxed the rest of the day although I did make dinner.  I was feeling tired and sleepy so I broke up my time between typing here on the computer, reading Sage Woman, and watching TV...and finding that as I was doing all of this I was also strengthening and feeling more the connection I have with Spirit...feeling great!

Spirit Is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XVII The Stars - We are finally able to see clearly where our Destiny and Karma are leading us. We see the hand of Goddess pointing our way to us and every small clue in our lives takes on a brave new significance.  We will never feel alone again."

More and more each day I feel more connected with myself and thus Spirit, the Universe, Nature and the world and the people around me.  As I feel more connected I feel more of the energy of light, love, peace, compassion and empathy that flow through the cosmos as well as each of us and all we have to do is open ourselves up to it, accept it and recognize that it is the natural state of the universe.  The more connected I am the more I understand that I am indeed on the right path and am being the opportunity of a fresh start, a fresh start that first comes with breaking out in the social media world that will be followed by more face-to-face interactions with people.  I've got my work cut-out for me but do I ever look forward to it.

I visited my camper Serenity the other day to try and get a sense of whether or not I should keep or find a way to sell her and as I sat there eating my lunch I did not get any feeling that I burdening myself having her in my life or with the fact I only own her right now through a loan that I am in the process of paying back.  And then here this morning as I sit here reflecting on "XVII The Stars" the idea of turning Serenity into a life size altar and images of what that will look like filled my mind.  This as I was contemplating my new social media presence and soon-to-be face-to-face interaction with people that seek out my services...Serenity is my altar.  And as crazy as it may be, I still feel that I should take her out of storage and simply have her parked on the street most of the time.  Here in front of the condo or several blocks away where there is "free" parking.  For some reason, I get the sense that my sweet little Serenity is to play a central role in my new role or renewed role of Spirit Guide, Spiritual Guidance Counsellor and Tarot Intuitive (Reader). 

"XVII The Stars" is also telling us that if we open our eyes and give ourselves permission to see, the divine and wonderful world of Spirit will come to life before us where it's always been.  We have to remember that for most of us we were taught to close our hearts, minds, spirits and eyes to such a world at a very young age.  It's always there and always will be we just have to decide if we're reading willing, and able to not only see this world again but interact with and learn from it.

Thank You Spirit.
