Sunday, June 26, 2016. It was nice to have a relatively quiet and relaxing day yesterday. Other than running a few errands I didn't do much of anything during the day other than piddle around with my model railroad layout, do a bit of writing, reading, Tarot work, and giving much thanks for the gift of life I have received. Yesterday was a real thankful day for me.
Seeing Cindy so happy with her new to her RV filled me with true happiness. I was so happy for her as her spirit and aura lit up with the pure joy one gets with the profound sense of love they feel and are filled with from Spirit. Cindy is experiencing "Nirvana".
Thank You Spirit and Thank You Cindy for Sharing This Experience With Me!
I slept great last night although oddly my dreams were filled with images of British politicians and the whole Brexit issue that now faces them, Europe, and even the rest of the world. I had the sense that my Spiritual Guidance Counsellor skills were being put to good use.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Novice of Pentacles: The suit of Pentacles and its corresponding element, Earth, is feminine and is the mother of comfort, security and a solid foundation of grounding, so a young female with long, curly dark hair represents this Novice. She wears a long brown robe and a pentacle around her neck. She intently examines an altar pentacle. Nearby is a basket of fruit. This Novice can be someone who has worked particularly hard for someone in her situation. A rest may be needed. This person should be wary, though, of resting on her laurels and stagnating."
Although we need to rest on occasion we can't become way too comfortable with our resting that we forget to get back up and back into doing what we need to do in life. If we wish to live whole and complete lives we need to be active participants and not passengers of life. Otherwise, we relinquish control of our lives to everyone and everything outside of ourselves. Then we become powerless and dependent on someone else telling us what to do thus robbing us of fulfilling our purposes and living life to the fullest and with the thanks this deserves.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 4:56pm. Around 9:30, maybe a quarter to ten this morning I met with Cindy at the storage lot where I was storing my old run down 1988 Class C RV. She's been managing the lot for years and wanted to look at my RV. As soon as she stepped inside she was in love with Miss Lucille Esmerelda Tokalot. My little old RV is not so run down after all!
I let my little RV go for a whopping $1.00 but wow what great energy Cindy and I exchanged. This was the perfect time for this deep, meaningful and fully spiritual transaction to take place. Buying Miss Lucille Esmerelda Tokalot was something I had to do back in 2006 and even though I never got to take her out on the road or experience life on the road with her the experiences I've had in working on trying to make her my home were exactly what I needed and I have no regrets.
She is now in good hands and Cindy is going to experience the life she most needs to experience now.
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 7:50pm. My first short circle travel with Serenity our camper van came to light this afternoon as I was enjoying my lunch break, one of my favourite parts of the work day, by the way. I've decided that since I or we need to use the van more often than not I'll take weekend trips to campgrounds within a two or three hour drive of Vancouver.
My first stop will be the Othello Tunnels Campground and RV Park as it just happens to be conveniently located next to the Othello Tunnels, a part of the TransCanada Trail network. Besides that, the cozy little town of Hope is down the road. My next outing will take me to the Emory Creek Campground near Yale. I've always wanted to stay in this campground as far back as I can remember.
Can't wait to see how my plans fall into place over the next several months...
Thank You Spirit.
Namaste.
Thursday, March 6th, 2014. I slept very well last night and slept in until the alarm rudely rang and woke us up. Kidding! The alarm sounded at it was time to get on with our day. I still have a job after all and this even after have a very frank conversation with my sales manager yesterday. I was never awake long enough over night to work and commune with Spirit so I did it as I went about my morning routine.
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.”
I am making life what I want it to be. I have to take a detour or two and put up with a few bumps along the way but I getting it, getting my life in order and living it my own way. It’s taken me many years but at least I’ve got the message and am going about making changes so the life I’m living is my own and I solely the one accountable and responsible for the life I am leading today.
For instance back in 2006 I impulsively purchased a motorhome that I’ve never taken out on the road. She is now 26 years old and through my wishful thinking and head in the cloud ways I’ve made changes to her that give her zero resale value and although I like the changes and the way she looks her age and lack of engine maintenance are making her too much of a risk to take out on the road. This is especially true if I plan to live in her on a fairly full time basis. But I know and realize this and I take responsibility for my actions. I may be wrong and if I get a chance I’ll have her looked at but realistically speaking a newer van conversion is likely a better choice for me along with a small tow-able.
So we must learn, adapt, adjust, be responsible and not be afraid of making changes and moving beyond the errors of our ways and mistakes that we have made. We must live in the present and know and work toward the future we desire knowing that we can and will live that life if we move forward responsibly and in tune with Spirit, Nature, and ourselves.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
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.
I had an enjoyable day yesterday, accomplished a few things and felt good about how my day progressed. As evening came though I got a little down but nothing major. This morning more perplexed than down. Thinking about my future and wondering if I’m on the right path as I think I am or am I trying to convince myself that I am. I’ve been away from writing this for 15 or 20 minutes and had a mental breakthrough as I was getting my second cup of café con leche where a solid thought came to mind that “Yes, I’m on the right track and I have no need for fear or worry just go with the flow”.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Coins: History. A knowledge of and appreciation for history. Seeing your concerns in a larger context. Seeing your life as a story; who is the author?” Do I want to follow convention and settle down or do I want to make changes and go for it? Do I need to settle down and create a solid foundation for my future or should I go for change and all the risk that goes along with it. Life in a condo or life on the road?
Today’s Foundation Card for today’s Card of the Day is again, the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer. Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others. Drawn to emotional crises.”
If I remove emotion from the equation and look at my options in a very grounded manner I see that life on the road although filled with risk is a solid choice for me as it is my choice and I’m following a long held dream of mine of living life on the road. In fact, many of the working options I see for me on the road today are the same ones I thought of over twenty five years ago: writing, ventriloquism, and one other I will not expand on for the moment.
I am on the right track. Spirit is with me and I’m working toward my long held dreams and goals.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Another gray start to the day but the Sun is working hard to brighten the day. Can’t see the Sun but the day is getting brighter.
I had a decent day yesterday. I accomplished a few things that made me feel good and optimistic. Actually, the optimism came with a feeling of home and responsibility. I was locking the door of my RV as I was leaving and felt a great sense that this was just one of many times of heading off to or coming home from a job, my RV, my home. Once I returned to the condo I tweaked my résumé and updated my list of references.
Then I relaxed a little or at least I think I relaxed…no I cleaned up the condo a bit, vacuumed and then washed the kitchen floor then it was time to make dinner. I relaxed a little before going to bed. I read an article out of “Circle Magazine”.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the 10 of Wands: The Burden. Responsibilities. Obligations. Overcommitting yourself. Realizing that burdens are a part of life."
This card always evokes the image of travel and although traveling with a young dog is likely the burden on display here such a burden may prove to be difficult at times but a burden worth dealing with none-the-less. I know that striving to become employed in the job market is the likely choice of many however I feel more of a desire to try and strike out on my own and earn my keep my own way—difficult to do for sure but doable at the same time—it can be done and is being done by many and I’m a part of this group.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Yesterday was a day where I piddled around in the RV without really knowing what I wanted to be doing, simply working on autopilot I guess. Work is a bit slower than I like but I realized yesterday it has more to do with all the crap I’ve still got in the RV than any lack of knowledge or experience on my part. I just simply do not have the space I need to work comfortably in the RV. If next week looks to be a run of dry days I will be emptying out the RV and leaving the stuff outside so I can really get to work on my repair and remodelling efforts, got to get it done now!
As I read the different messages that today’s visiting Tarot Card has to offer I was struck by a couple of realizations. The first being that yes I bought an RV seven years ago and she’s been sitting in storage for that length of time as well however, it’s all for a reason. My repairs and remodeling of the RV is a learning tool and a learning experience for me. As the past seven years have drifted by and I’ve piddled around with the RV I’ve been learning things about life and my place in it. Today, I’ve realized that I purchased my RV to travel but not so much initially in the way I first thought, I have instead traveled beyond myself and my own perspectives seeing the world from a much larger perspective than my own. Now that I can see the world from this vantage point I’m ready to hit the road and learn some more but also to teach as well—compassion, love, and most of all peace.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’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.”
Yesterday as I was about to leave the storage lot, just stopping to lock up the RV, the lot attendant waltzed by and struck up a conversation with me. Something about this conversation struck me. He thought I was getting ready to take a trip and well I guess I am, not sure when or how soon that may be but yes a trip is on the horizon. I guess this is what struck me as an innate knowing, that travel in my RV is going to be more than just simply traveling or going places, it’s about living, living my life fully in tune with my purpose and the world that surrounds me.
Travel that is with purpose, travel where I am always living in and aware of the present, paying homage to all who have helped me become who I am and get to this place where I find myself. Awareness. Paying attention, heeding the call, going where I need to go…living my life instead of merely reacting to it.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Had a successful day at home. I made another successful Cuban dished called Ropa Vieja. We had our out of town friend over for dinner as it was his last night in town and this a favourite dish of his. My partner made the best Bread Pudding ever, a fusion of several different bread pudding recipes, so no recipe to share for that one.
Today shall be another visit to my home away from home, my RV and more fun work on her. I’m quite enjoying the work I’m doing on my RV. The only hiccup is all of the crap I’m still keeping in the RV. As I deconstructed sections of the RV, I kept all of the debris from that process inside of the RV. Time to get rid of it, I think. If I can get rid of all of this debris the RV will be so clean and spacious that I’ll have more room than what I know what to do with.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Coins: Rewards. Enjoying the fruits of your labor. Well-deserved enjoyment.”
Although this card points to purely enjoying what I’ve accomplished in certain areas of my life I think I also need to control and direct my passions as well as learn how to enjoy the finer things in life and seek higher potentials.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
For a few moments this morning, I could not remember or think of today’s date. I was so lost in the clouds with my thoughts of today’s visiting Tarot Card and Horoscopes that I completely lost track of the concept of time and date. Maybe it’s because I’ve been up since about 4:30 this morning. I appreciate this early start to the day though as I’ve been able to process many thoughts and ideas.
These thoughts and ideas tie into my desire and need to get my RV back into shape as well as my need to find a means of financially supporting myself without having to resort to working for someone else either an independent business or a corporate entity.
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.”
As I was thinking about the Magician and contemplating the image on the card as well as the message being delivered I decide to read my Horoscopes. I say Horoscopes because I was born on the cusp of Aries and Pisces so I read both. And today both tie into very nicely to the Magician-“If you are doing what everyone else is doing…there is little risk. But when you are daring and you choose the road less traveled there is uncertainty. But its time you blazed a trail of your own Aries.” and “If you’ve been thinking of doing something different-such as taking on a creative project or starting a new business-these ideas could spell success if you pay attention to them.” Daily Horoscope, Comitic Software.
This is where my mind was last night, through the night, in my dreams and in my waking thoughts and continues to this moment. Thoughts and ideas and a continuation of ideas from the past. Maybe the time is right to act on these and act on these in a very bold and aggressive manner. The time to act is now! I do know what I want and that is the freedom to be my own boss as risky as this may be. I’ll keep myself grounded as well so I avoid “pie in the sky” thinking and keep things based in reality.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

We had a quiet day yesterday. We took a quick walk, ran a few errands and then stayed in the rest of the day. Boring for some but perfect for us. We are comfortable spending a quiet day at home visiting with our selves, getting to know who we are as individuals, self-knowledge. We do not need to get into the busyness of life in order to have a good or even active day. We’re not boring we’re just us.
Thank you Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Cups: The Audition. A new opportunity or choice presents itself. Everything hangs in the balance. Nervousness, excitement.”
I’m going ahead with my plans today but with a new eye out looking for a new opportunity or two that may present themselves. I feel good about today and will be open to opportunity, making new friends, earning a little bit of income or taking possession of a new RV or even a piece of property should someone be giving either of these away.
Actually, each and every time I plan to and then go out to visit and work on my RV I’m filled with nervousness and excitement, it’s just the way it is but I’m getting more comfortable with what I’m doing because it feels right and my chosen path and desire to RV fits with where I feel the cosmos wants me to go and has wanted me to go for many years now. But my heart and mind are open to Spirit’s calling wherever it may lead me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I slept in a little later yesterday and did not have much time for more than getting up, having breakfast, and getting out the door hence my lack of a post. Work has been intensely busy this week as we are getting down to the task of completion for this election cycle, the final count. We been working almost non-stop the entire week, barely taking time for lunch and working later than our five o’clock quitting time.
Last night I arrived home and we were heading out the door forty-five minutes later to go and meet a friend for dinner. We tried again Taqueria Playa Tropical. We had tried this place a year or more ago and found it to mediocre or even less than mediocre in terms of food and service however we were pleasantly surprised by the line out the door, the great live music, and eventually to good quality and great tasting food that came to the table. We’ll be going back and have no hesitation in recommending Taqueria Playa Tropical as a place to go in New Westminster. Only change I would like the restaurant to make is to stay open later than 9pm especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Thank You Spirit.
I worked with Tarot yesterday and yesterday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Sage of Cups: Emotional maturity. A good mediator or counselor.”
I kind of see this as what I need to do in my own life mediate and counsel myself on making decisions and not fretting over them afterwards. On Thursday night I awoke and fretted about the RV again, need to just get on with it. I have an old RV and need to fix it up the best I can and use this cute RV for as long as she lasts. Also, I need to really delve into Spirit. As I walked to work yesterday, the idea of a Spirit Quest filled my mind. I think this is why I’ve had these strong images of repairing the RV as quickly as possible filling my mind so much these last weeks. I need to get away from it all and focus on Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences. A powerful relationship. Seeing both sides of an issue. Flexibility"
This is just another reminder of how relationships work in a general sort of way and as we all should remember, each relationship is unique and we should not try to fit our relationships into any sort of mold. We should allow our relationships to be our own and keep in mind that what works for us is what works for us and no explanation is needed and the same goes for everyone else as well. Have your relationship the way you think it should be not the way others expect it to be!
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Had to rush a little bit this morning as I had an early start at work today, 8:00am and I awoke around 6:35am, leaving myself with less than an hour to get have breakfast, make lunch and get dressed for the day. I left about five minutes later than usual to get to work on time but made it into the office with minutes to spare. It’s a good thing we had a quiet evening last night and I got into bed early even with getting home after 8:00pm after my day of work yesterday.
Today was a busy day, a steady flow of early voters and a bit of other work to do. I at least had time to go out for lunch. The turnout for early voting is quite strong so I expect the voter turn out to be higher than the numbers in 2009. I certainly hope the party I vote for wins.
Thank You Spirit!
Spirit Is and this today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Swords: An idea. Starting to develop a plan or strategy.”
This is certainly true. Visiting my RV got the wheels turning and ideas and plans lurking about my brain. I’ve even made firm decisions on how to proceed with getting the RV back into shape. Making these decisions has really lifted some weight off of my shoulders too! I see more and more of my desires and passions to live life as RVer firming up in reality and this is also making me feel good. I’m wearing more of a permanent smile on my face since Wednesday.
Now more importantly though is that I feel strong in soul and Spirit and I happened to glance at some words I wrote back in April and reading those words made my Spirit soar. This is another area where I’m living closer to Spirit than ever before. I’m back to where I was in 2002-2003 and in many ways better and stronger and Spirit is the centre of my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
All is well in my world. I’ve been given the opportunity of life for yet another day. I have a roof over my head, food in the cupboard, and a world of opportunities ahead of and all around me. Thank You Spirit.
I had a decent day yesterday. I had the place pretty much to myself for a good part of the day, I had the tires changed over on the car, an oil change done on the car, the winter tires put away in storage, and I made a quick visit to my RV. I poked around the RV for awhile, looking things over and trying to decide on a course of action as to how to proceed to get things done. I made decisions on what to do first and then went from there. A few photos later and I was on my way and soon enough back home. Thank You Spirit.
We went out for a walk along the quay, meeting a friend along the way to enjoy the Sun as it set and good conversation. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi. “Going with the flow.” Living in tune with your environment.”
I am doing my best to work with the world, the environment I live in, and my surroundings. I’m learning how to sense and feel the energy that ebbs and flows through our lives and how it influences our own energy and Spirit. I am “in tune” more often than not these days and feel like I am slowly being led on a journey. I likely resist more than I should. Spirit is patient with us most of the time and I think that this is one of those times as slow as I am making this journey I am learning much along the way.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
A single day off before another day of work before my second day off for the week. I’ll be working five days a week until election day here in BC. Had another quiet evening after a hectic day at the office. I was the busiest person in the office as I was covering the front desk/reception and taking calls as well as handling people coming in to apply for jobs, an, interview, or to vote early. I had no time to think from after lunch right up and slightly past 5:00pm. Made the day fly by and a worthwhile day of work. It was a great feeling to be busy and full of energy. Thank You Spirit.
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.”
I think I definitely need a “time out”, time to myself, to be free from all the encumbrances of life and let myself truly and simply “be”. Actually, I’ve been craving solitude for a long time and one thing I’ve discovered it is near impossible to find the type of solitude I crave in an urban environment or thriving city are such as metro Vancouver. The closest I get t this is to be working on my RV. My RV as messy as she is, is my sanctuary, my little oasis in this bustling city that seems as if it is almost bursting at the seams.
One of my horoscopes suggested releasing my biggest dreams out to the universe and this is what I did. I asked the universe to fulfill my innate desire and passion to explore this great land of ours by RV, to allow me to experience life the way that seems to fit my greatest needs. I have released my greatest desire over to the universe and will see where the universe decides to take or to lead me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
I’ve received more working hours with Elections BC so I’ll be working a full five days a week until Election Day. I thoroughly enjoy what I am doing in the district electoral office and the people I meet on a daily basis. Everyone is so happy that they can vote in the election even though they’ll be out of town and country. Thank you Spirit.
We had a lousy dinner and another quiet evening at home although I did work in the kitchen for a time making two batches of some very simple peanut butter cookies to bring with to work today. I love baking and want to do more however work and earning a living as they say must come first but alternative ideas to holding down an actual job are percolating in my mind. All of which can be done while living and traveling in the RV. Some of my dreams involve my RV such as the acknowledgement that yes, she may be old but we can simply fix her and make her as good as new. I then awoke feeling pretty darned good, a bit tired perhaps but feeling happy. My tiredness will disappear once I get back into the gym and start working out again. My cold has pretty much disappeared. Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Cups: Serendipity. Satisfaction. Everything is going well.” I say be generous with your smiles today and spread smiles and happiness around the globe.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Two days off and I’m happy to have them. I thoroughly enjoy my work with Elections BC however having days off never hurts either. Yesterday was a relatively quiet day and the office was warm for a change, almost too hot if you can believe it. Then the evening was spent with a one of our friends, we invited over for dinner as we always seem to have more food than the two of us can eat and it never hurts spending time with friends. Then the evening was over, he went home, we cleaned up, relaxed a bit then went to bed.
I awoke this morning before 6:00am. I was looking forward to sleeping in and awaking after 7am but I guess that was not in the cards. I tried to drift back into dreamland but I just tossed and turned so I dragged myself out of bed after twenty minutes of doing that. Another beautiful day greets me and I’m glad to be awake and have some alone time. I had time with my thoughts and reflected on one that I had yesterday where in the middle of something I was doing at work I blurted out “I want to live in my RV”. Knowing that this is something that I want to do I realized, that I can do it any time I want really. Not a lot is stopping other than me making the decision to actually do it.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card 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".
And lo and behold this card is totally representative of my waffling and refusal to make a decision about where I want my life to go. I cannot do anything proper or well if I sit on the fence and waffle about the decision. I’ve more or less being doing this for the past seven years. I think it is high time I made a decision and move on one way or another. Then I might be able to make something of my life, whatever the decision is that I make.
And I do want to live in my RV.
Thank you Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Today is my day off and I’m glad to have it. Over the past three days I’ve discovered that working in a closed in office environment is actually the reason my cold is dragging on so much. I feel pretty good when I awake in the mornings and as I make my way to the office. But as the day progresses I get to feeling worse with each passing hour and by the time I head for home my sinuses are stuffed up and I’m trying to cough up a lung. Since I’m home today I’ll get to find out if my hypothesis about the office is correct.
We had a quiet evening just the way I like them. We had a nice hot bowl of pea soup for dinner. That really lifts up the spirits and makes me feel so much better too!
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.”
Hopefully, I have no confrontations today. As I was going about working with Tarot I closed my eyes for a moment and allowed the vision of myself driving my RV down the highway fill my mind. I could see as I glanced back into the living quarters of the RV the completion of all of my hard work. The kitchen and office walls were covered with the brick patterned wallpaper; the desktop was stained a nice jade green; the cupboard cabinets and doors I made looked great with their fresh coats of brown paint; and I even made the bed that day before driving off to my next destination.
Yesterday, I was reminded that I need to write my own story and today I’m reminded that I can do it, that I can succeed, it may be a struggle but if life in an RV is what I want, or what I think I need I can have that life; I just have to do it, go for it and do it and the RV lifestyle is mine to live.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
So yesterday was a bit of a damp day and although the paperwork I was carrying from door-to-door did get wet it survived, the many downpours we walked through. The days are long as we split the day in two with a three hour gap between the shifts. By the time I get home, eat, and shower, it’s pretty much bedtime. Only a few more shifts to go and we should be done with enumeration.
Just before awaking I was dreaming about towing a trailer with my RV, or at least thinking about whether or not the RV could handle the extra load. In the end it looks like I got good advice about the RVs engine and ended up towing a small trailer for some reason. Why I’d want to tow a trailer is unknown to me but hey it was only a dream after all. Or was it?
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.”
I must search for and find the key to using the energies I have in very positive ways. I need to find out how to access and use wisely this vast powerhouse of energy in the most uplifting, loving, and constructive ways possible so that I become a better person as well as bring about love, peace, and compassion to my surroundings and the people in my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
10:30pm and we are relaxing at home after taking in a few exhibits at the Museum of Vancouver this morning. We enjoyed ourselves as we entered the world and mind of Tobias Wong, a designer, artist, a freethinking human being who tried his best to cast aside labels and definitions of either himself or his work. We then browsed remnants of neon signs that once filled the streets of Vancouver, some worked others didn’t, rusty flaky paint on a few, while others lit up the room. Then it was onto the sex exhibit and where sexual education takes place in the world, classroom, bedroom, on the street. Lunch at Las Margaritas, coffee at Caffe ́ Artigiano, then homeward bound. We had a good day hanging with our friend.
What I wanted to actually write about is the “10 of Wands” and what the image on the card evokes in me and that is travel. Every time I see that card and its image I think travel. I appreciate the interpretation of this card as well as the aspects and imagery of this card in other decks however this particular card from Gay Tarot really awakens the travel bug in me.
With that being said, it is likely that when I get onto traveling in my rig, my RV, my home on wheels the road is likely to a long hard haul with many a bump along the way. This card appearing as often as it is provides me with a message that I need to be courageous and up to the challenges that will come with my decision to pull up my roots and drive away from the comforts of the life I’m now living. Here right now my life is comfortable and relatively easy and relaxed but this will all end as soon as I pack my belongings and set forth on an adventure that is risky and full of the unknown.
When I get the RV back into relatively good shape I should come clean with owning her and wanting to set out on a road trip to test the water so-to-speak. I’ll need to play my hand carefully and by ear and just go for it and see where the cards fall as I can no longer afford to keep this a secret any longer.
Thank You Spirit.
And I can also say the same about the “3 of Wands” as I’ve finally realized that it’s me that I’ve been nurturing and alongside of myself, my partner has also been nurturing me for the eventuality of me having to strike out on my own. I’ve grown up some, still need to learn from making a few recent mistakes however I’m as ready as I’ll ever be to strike out and live a bit of this life on my own and under my own steam and responsibility.
Mind you having said all of this I may only take incremental steps in this new direction but the steps will surely grow ever larger the more I strike out on my own in my trusty little rig. Maybe I’ll make my summer home at the Shadow Falls Campground out towards Harrison Hot Springs. It’s got full hook-ups and it’s close to home.
Gotta do it!
Shadow Falls, here I come!
Woohoo! Yee haw...
I need to keep focused on love, compassion, caring, nurturing Spirit, reminding myself that I cannot run away from anything and instead I must be heading toward something. I need to be open-minded and honest, full of integrity and forthrightness and know that I’ve wanted to RV all of my life and that all I am trying to do is simply fulfill a dream of mine the best way that I can.
Thank You Again Spirit!
