Tuesday, December 8th, 2015. I've been busy building myself a bit of a Tarot Encyclopedia, if you will based on a few of my favourite Tarot Decks. It is slow progress but for me it is a work of love and enriches my spirit. I feel awe each time I on work on it. I've been working on it in between doing this. Of course, I have reasons for trying to get it down sooner rather than later and this is so I can have it ready before Christmas, a Christmas gift for myself.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is “XIX The Sun: The best moments in life are rooted in the ordinary. Contentment. Optimism. Ordinariness. Satisfaction from a job well done. Familiarity.”
I've been thinking a lot about Nature lately and how I'd like to have 'Serenity' backed up into a small grove of trees with the front of her pointing out to a beautiful meadow, mountain, lake, stream, river, pond or a beach and the ocean. For me this is ordinariness. Even as I sit here typing away on the keyboard I feel a sense of ordinariness and revel in the fact that I can easily be and celebrate the act of and being ordinary...I hope this makes sense.
I'm also quite content with putting Spirit front and centre in my life where my primary activities are meeting people who are interested in Coaching, Tarot, and/or Chakra Services. And the work on what I call my 'Tarot Encyclopedia' is going very well.
Enough about me...this is about you and “XIX The Sun" and a suggestion for you to find your "ordinary". What is ordinary to you and what makes you content in being ordinary? And I bet you have a reason to pat yourself on the back for a job well done Too! And believe it or not being satisfied with merely the ordinary can fill one with a great sense of optimism and well-being so go ahead and give being ordinary as well as being satisfied with the ordinary...give it a try. You might find that you like it.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The '10 of Cups' and Realizing Your Dreams
Monday, December 7th, 2015. Spent most of the weekend working on my model railroad. I didn't make a lot of progress yet the progress I made for me at least, is quite significant. Significant in terms of finding solutions to challenges that have been plaguing me for the last year or two...how to carry my skyline route over the rest of the layout. I had ideas but I could not find anything available commercially that matched my ideas or that would seemingly suit the purpose. So after mulling and fretting over the whole idea I decided to build part of the crossing with paper and my creation is looking pretty darned good.
A good night's sleep was hit and miss as I awoke a couple of times and was lucid dreaming throughout the night and then awoke about 30 minutes before the alarm. I wasn't really sleepy and could have slipped out of bed but I did not really want to be awake...Mondays are always like this for me...
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the “10 of Cups: The Ideal. Your secret dreams. Attainment. Unrealistic, wishful thinking."
We all have dreams however we all pursue them and/or forget about them in different ways and this changes throughout the journey of our lives. Attainment of our dreams is possible when we think about them and pursue them in a realistic manner and after much thought and planning. On rare occasions our dreams seem to fall into our laps. We need to pursue our dreams from a solid foundation and in a step by step well laid out process so we steer clear of falling into the trap of wishful thinking. We do not want to find ourselves pursuing a pipe dream because we've allowed our heads to soar into the clouds.
If you find yourself celebrating the attainment of your goals, enjoy yourself, celebrate...however always keep in mind what it took for you to get where find yourself today and be humble about it.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'XVI Revelation' and the Truth Revealed
Sunday, December 6th, 2015. What a wonderful Saturday we had. A nice quiet day at home. I worked on my model railroad the entire only taking breaks for lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner, and a shower. I reluctantly crawled into bed as I felt I didn't feel like stopping since I was on a good role and making good and significant progress.
I really enjoyed myself yesterday and Spirit was strong yesterday. Our place is filled with a large amount of loving, calming, and an active spiritual energy. It feels really good in here.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience. A necessary destruction of the status quo. Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth. A new idea which upsets others.”
Openness and honesty are highly valued and for good reason too! Sometimes, we need to reveal "ugly" truths about ourselves and if and when we do raw, painful and bitter emotions will surface and erupt however we must do our part to extend ourselves spiritually to others with high doses of love, compassion, understanding, compromise, forgiveness and humility flowing freely from us.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'9 The Hooded Man' and the '5 of Swords' Retreating To Gain Knowledge and Finding Acceptance
Saturday, December 5th, 2015. On the way down the elevator, it stopped on the second floor and a neighbour stepped in and in small talk mentioned how far away from Monday that Friday always is and then how Friday ends up being the slowest day of the week where the work day seemingly will not come to an end. And this is exactly how my Friday turned out...a long slow and drawn out day where minutes barely ticked by...
But then the work day was over after a quick shower a few moments of relaxation we were over after my brother's place for his annual Christmas gathering of friends and family...the family part being me. It was a well attended evening and the bite size plates of food were delicious and then we were back home by about 10:30pm Now my brother wants to get together on Christmas Eve...we'll see about where we gather...we're hosting a New Year's Eve gathering so we don't want to host on Christmas Eve...I think a restaurant will have to do.
Yesterday's Tarot Energy is "9 The Hooded Man: The time of the Hooded Man is here. Whether he appears in the guise of an inner guide and mentor or simply as a state of mind, you will understand that now is a time to withdraw and rest. After a long journey through the Wildwood, many emotions and experiences need to be absorbed. This is the beginning of understanding - not just of yourself, but the universe. The hermit-like Hooded Man appears differently for everyone. Whether through meditation or solitude in the mountains, through prayer or holidaying in a secluded place, his light will illuminate the way to the heart of the endless cycle of being."
Today's Tarot Energy is “5 of Swords: The Tennis Game. Being overly competitive. A game which gets out of hand. A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”
Retreat for solitude and to gain understanding. And to understand that life is not always about winning or losing. We can look after our own interests however we should also try to find ways of doing so without negatively affecting others. Yes, this is sometimes hard to do but we must always strive to lift others up as best we can. Also, we all have limitations and we need to acknowledge this in our own lives. And we must also accept the fact that others may know better than us so we need be graciously humble at times as well.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'8 The Stag' Being Objective, Truthful and Maintaining Our Spiritual and Physical Well-Being
Thursday, December 3rd, 2015. Last night was another early evening for us...crawling into bed round 10:30pm. We watched a bit of television...a couple of our favourite programs - 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' and the 'Rick Mercer Report'.
I awoke early and knew that it was late enough and yet early enough from the alarm for me to get up and have a bit more of a relaxing morning so I quietly slipped out of bed around 5:30am. I enjoyed the few extra minutes I had to be one with Spirit and Tarot. I do my best to give and show appreciation for being blessed with another day of life and of living as well as for the home I live in and all the gifts I have been given throughout my life.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is a continuation from yesterday, "8 The Stag: On a personal level, some kind of adjustment or interaction has taken place. The key word here is 'responsibility'. We must, as individuals, constantly observe the rules and regulations of society, and these can fluctuate as the views and knowledge of civilization change. Whether on a political or moral level, we subconsciously know when a realignment of our perception is due. This is a time to welcome the justice that has arrived with the coming of spring and the fire of creation. Face the coming season with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action."
Today is about bringing objectivity into our lives in order to restore balance and bring harmony into our lives. We need to be social and effectively communicate with others where the truth is out in the open, is well received and any wrongs are righted. Look for healthy ways of exercising both your spirit and your body so that we can steer ourselves clear of bad habits and bad situations that can lead to and get us in trouble.
Let's focus our energy on good tidings, loving thoughts, and extending our spirits to everyone we meet so that they may see a touch of Spirit in us all and where smiles grow on our faces and love fills our hearts.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'8 The Stag' and Fluctuating Societal Rules and Regulations
Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Last night we decided to go out to the movies, well a movie, Victor Frankenstein and what good and well acted movie it is. The acting was in our opinion, superb! Before hitting the movie we had what for us is an early dinner...homemade pea soup...delicious.
After the movie we came home and had some tea and cookies. Then an hour or so later we were crawling into bed for what for me was a great night's sleep. I did awake at some point to use the loo however I quickly fell back to sleep and then awoke mere minutes before the alarm.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is "8 The Stag: On a personal level, some kind of adjustment or interaction has taken place. The key word here is 'responsibility'. We must, as individuals, constantly observe the rules and regulations of society, and these can fluctuate as the views and knowledge of civilization change. Whether on a political or moral level, we subconsciously know when a realignment of our perception is due. This is a time to welcome the justice that has arrived with the coming of spring and the fire of creation. Face the coming season with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action."
This appears to be a time of fluctuating and changing societal rules and regulations as "8 The Stag" also appeared on Monday. Also, the climate is top of mind as over 150 countries discuss climate change and how to deal with it. Will they find an agreement and will it be enough to blunt the ever increasing changes to our climate? Or is it already too late? Perhaps, we're in for a rough and stormy winter.
"8 The Stag" is asking us to be prepared and draw upon our inner strength and courage to face the coming changes that must take place in our lives. It's time for us to reap what we have sown. And so this is again a time to "Face the coming season with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action."
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Youth of Cups' and Life is All About Contradictions
Tuesday, December 1, 2015. 2015 is winding down. We're in the final month of the year and the joyous holiday season is upon us. Hope we do our best to make life better for all those around and even those we often don't think about.
I found it hard to relax last night and my thoughts were scattered for a good part of the evening. The busy work day took me beyond the regular hours thus making for a late arrival home where I just fell into the sofa for a spell and just let go.
I did manage to clear my mind enough to interact with Tarot though and that lifted my spirit and allowed me to collect my thoughts enough so that I could feel more normal and relaxed shortly before crawling into bed.
I realize that I've written some contradictory statements and would like clarify why I've come to my most recent conclusion around earning a living through my spiritual endeavors. A month or so back I was hoping to just offer my services "free" of charge. Sounded good but a nagging feeling kept jabbing me in the side and a voice kept whispering to me that I had to work more closely with Spirit regarding this matter and so I did. This past weekend Spirit led me to understand and acknowledge that my spiritual endeavors are an acceptable way of becoming self-reliant and is in fact encouraged by Spirit. My spiritual works are a combination of services-Coaching, Tarot, and Chakra work that are likely to have a dramatic and positive impact and effect on many people's lives and I have a roll to fulfill in these possibilities.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is “Youth of Cups: Youthful emotions. Daydreaming. Shyness.”
What a high energy, youthful kind of day. Let's all hearken back to our teen years and capture some of that rebellious energy that although might have gotten us in trouble back then is now likely to help us stay in shape, stay youthful and stay fit. Or if you are of a younger generation relish your youthful years and harness that rebellious energy and steer it toward having a good time while doing good deeds. Or let us all be charmingly shy and golden.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
