Monday, October 10, 2016. Happy Thanksgiving! This to all of my fellow Canadians here in Canada and abroad.
We had another relaxing day yesterday. We lazed around most of the morning before heading to Commercial Drive to have brunch. We soon found ourselves sitting and relaxing at Cabrito Tapas-Bebidas. The food was good, the service friendly and the ambience and atmosphere warm and inviting. Next time in the area though we'll likely check out Jamjar, that's next door, as they apparently serve up some great Lebanese folksy food.
We had coffee and dessert at Renzo's, it was okay but the staff were a bit pretentious and the place felt a bit stuffy even though it's an open, airy kind of place.
Then we meandered back home. Oh, we did check out the Doctor Vigari Gallery on our stroll along Commercial. What a great place. They gave crows, well crow art to be exact a lot of space. The crows were featured in paintings, metal, resin, photos, and greeting cards. And speaking of crows, they've just made their presence known this morning with a welcoming 'caw'. In fact, yesterday on our way to Commercial Drive as we walked up to the intersection of Carnarvon and Sixth here in New Westminster, a crow landed on the Carnarvon Street sign just inches above where we stood. I had a bit of a connection with him before he flew off and landed on the building where Ki Sushi is located. And again before crossing the street the crow and I exchanged quick glances as well as an exchange of spirit. What a great experience!
Just came back in from the deck as several crows dropped by for a quick visit. What a great way to start the day. I look forward to more exchanges like this. Hopefully, the weather is such that I can get outdoors in the morning and be with the crows, be with Spirit so I can better understand and fulfill my purpose.
Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is the "Page of Bows, Stoat. Often, you are seen as an emissary and, as such, your gifts are widely recognized and honoured. Your ability to perceive the truth in almost any matter is vastly helpful and your freedom of spirit marks you out as an original and unique personality. Secrecy, Anonymity, Extraordinariness, A prodigy, Strange tidings, A free spirit, Dreams, Vision, The appearance of a stranger."
"Freedom of spirit" stands out for me today and this may be linked to the appearance of so many crows over the past couple of days. For me it's no accident that so many crows have made their presence known to me and I know that the "Page of Bows" is a further reminder of my free spirit and that I'm quite right in moving forward as a Spiritual Guidance Counsellor and Tarot and Chakra Intuitive just as I have advertised on both my business cards and car door magnet. In fact as we walked out the door yesterday on our way to brunch yesterday, Wizard Oron, Spiritual Guidance Counsellor kept popping up in my mind, in fact it popped up in my mind throughout the day and especially so the Doctor Vigari Gallery.
"A prodigy" and "The appearance of a stranger" are now jumping out at me. Am I a "prodigy" of sorts and is the result of "The appearance of a stranger" or do the crows represent the stranger, am I their prodigy or do the crows represent the prodigy referred to by the extraordinary energy of the "Page of Bows" of today?
More questions than answers but what wonderful loving energy and spirit surrounds and fills me today. I'm enamored with and by Spirit.
Thank You Spirit.
Another simply and quiet day yesterday with just a bit of activity thrown in to keep it from being boring. I worked out at the gym, took the car in to the collision repair shop to have it looked at and book an appointment to have the repairs done, visited the RV and applied some sealant, ate lunch and put up poster, then I quickly drove home so we could take transit over to Commercial Drive to meet a couple of friends for coffee at Continental Coffee before returning home for the remainder of the afternoon and make our way into a quiet and relaxing evening. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity. Research. Computers, e-mail. Immature communication. Spying (or "hacking")."
Problems disguised as challenges to test me a little bit yet at the same time offer lessons, growth, strength, and resiliency. The best way to approach challenges is with an open mind, in the spirit of learning and discovery which will allow me to expand my mind and intellect in fun and creative ways. Approaching such situations with a good dose of curiosity often lead to in-depth research that sheds light on matters that often reveal hidden truths or little gems of great knowledge or magic!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
The fifth month of the year at its end, hard to believe this year is this far in already. Where does time go? Quickly passes us by when we’re not paying attention and present moment aware…
Yesterday was a day spent out and about with my niece-in-law. We had a great time window shopping along Commercial Drive and Granville Island. Our first stop was for a great lunch at Bandidas Taqueria. Great food, great atmosphere, all around great place to hand out for a meal. Then it was on down to Santa Barbara for a couple of things and then zipping on over to Granville Island before heading back home for an evening of great food conversation and a movie, Bullets Over Broadway. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “7 of Wands: Fighting the wind. A Quixotic struggle. Winning against the odds. Confrontation.”
The second appearance for this card this week so I need to get focused on my life, my situation, my circumstance and see where I am at and where I truly want to go then make a decision and head off in one direction or another. I need to practice present moment awareness and “be” in the moment and know what I want with conviction and certainty before acting.
Yesterday as we were on our way to Granville Island, the thought came to me that I have a way of growing and becoming the person I most desire of myself, if this makes any sense. I have a few things to meditate on and contemplate however before I truly understand or comprehend this idea. But it is not that far off from some fleeting glimpses I’ve had of myself in the future so maybe there is something to this that makes sense and it worthwhile to pursue.
Thank you Spirit.
Blessed Be.
We had another fairly quiet day yesterday. My brother came to visit in the morning and we took the train to Commercial Drive to pick up a few things and have a coffee before heading back home. Upon our arrival back home we did a bit of organizing before I started dinner, a beef and cabbage stew. It turned out very well. I'll be making it again for sure. We relaxed the rest of the evening.
Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the "9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me. Defensiveness. Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy." I need to open up my heart and be free. My arms are open wide so I may receive and know the love of the universe.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
