A Trip Out of Town and the 10 of Wands and 5 of Coins

Saturday, May 18, 2013.  Writing to you from Seattle. Spending a  couple of days here as we're taking in a ballet. The motel is nice although the room is just beds, not a suite and the breakfast nook is just that a nook that fits very few people. However, breakfast was good--bacon, eggs, a waffle, coffee, and an orange juice. I'm just a little disappointed in that I did not have any private time to myself. I like my alone and silent time.

The drive down was pretty good, took an hour to get to the border and an hour to get through. Had showers most of the way and traffic was light to moderate. And we had dinner at Bob's Burgers--good food.

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."

I'm not seeing life's journey as being full of burdens anymore. I see life as a journey that has many events in it but our attitudes are what makes the difference as to how burdensome life is and how we work through and overcome them.

Thank you Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Sunday, May 19, 2013.  We’re back at home.  The trip to Seattle was nice, a bit quick, and too much driving.  The return trip involved a few stops and reminded me of why I want to get out of the rat race and live my life my own way.  Consumerism drives me nuts.  We made it through the border in less than ten minutes—a breeze compared to the one hour it took on Friday.  Thank You Spirit.

This morning I did work with Tarot and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the 5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

I looked at this card this morning and understood and understand it’s imagery and meaning however I also find that for me it speaks to not conforming to society and expressing yourself, your true self to the rest of the world.  Being true to oneself may involve some financial difficulties but I think that financial struggles can be transcended through believing in oneself as well as looking and thinking outside the box as to how one can go about earning his or her keep in today’s world.  Opportunities are hidden everywhere, we just need to know and understand where and how to look for them.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Overnight Shopping Trip to Seattle

On a snowy Wednesday morning, the 19th of December we set off for our overnight trip to Seattle.  As we drove the snow became heavy and thick and we were questioning ourselves as to whether or not we should continue on with our journey.  The roads were empty so onward we went.  As we neared the border and customs the snow let up and it became somewhat dry.

We quickly crossed the border and were truly on our way down to Seattle.  As we approached Everett, the rain started and got heavier the closer we got to Seattle and so did the traffic that was moving at a snails pace.  But we made real good time as it only took us about two and a half hours to make the trip.  We arrived at the hotel very early, about five or six hours before check-in however they let us check-in early.

Seattle was wet for our visit but we still did our best to enjoy ourselves and our shopping which we did and completed all in one place - Pike Place Market.  I discovered Tenzing Momo where I picked up a book, magazine and some great incense.  My partner made purchases at Ed Newbold, Wildlife Artist and Raven's Nest Treasure.

Spirit Is and:

December 19, 2012 - Wednesday's Tarot Card of the Day is the "2 of Swords".
December 20, 2012 - Thursday's Tarot Card of the Day is the "4 of Coins". 

Wednesday's dinner was had at the El Borracho Taqueria y Cantina.  We had our Thursday breakfast at Starbucks just around the corner from our hotel, Hotel Vintage Park before heading back home in the rain, ah such is winter in the Pacific Northwest.

Blessed Be.
