Another decent night of sleep but awoke somewhere between four and five in the morning and could not fall asleep again. Going to have to get more into meditation and other relaxation techniques as I tend to dwell on issues that get me to worrying, nervous and anxious about things of which I have no control over and it's getting to be a bit tiring. I have books to read so I should do more reading as this was a great way to relax for me years ago, a total way to forget about and lose track of time. Loved those experiences.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “9 of Coins: Rewards. Enjoying the fruits of your labour. Well-deserved enjoyment.”
"Well-deserved enjoyment" stands out to me and I get the feeling that such enjoyment is going to be much more plentiful in my life. I'm feeling a great sense of freedom and an inkling of working less and enjoying life more, no money worries, little to no stress, and being spiritually rich beyond measure.
My intuition is telling me that we especially I need to trust Spirit more, to get back into knowing what Spirit and Nature are all about to let them lead me to spiritually enriched enjoyment of life and all things. The trees are, the forest is waiting for me to visit again and to enjoy their love and friendship. This reminds me that as I driving back to the job, I drove past two pairs of crows foraging in the grass for food and was struck by the thought and image of sitting with them and simply "be". To have a conversation of sorts with them and become more comfortable with my stronger and more dynamic spiritual role in life.
So the message of the day as I see it is to simply be, enjoy life and to left life enjoy you!
Thank You Spirit.
Slept quite well last night. My nightly sleeping is returning back to normal. I noticed this change after these two new employment opportunities came to light which I unusually happy about (was not expecting to feel so about the prospect of working for someone else yet again) along with positive news from the bank and the RV dealership as well as with more knowledge and appreciation about my Intuitive Tarot efforts and offerings to everyone out there looking for a new way to explore their inner and outer lives or who want to try a different way to seek and find guidance in their lives.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “7 of Swords: The Messenger. Carrying your plans through obstacles. Speed is important. Someone brings news or a message. Carelessness.”
This morning my thoughts upon seeing the “7 of Swords" were about allowing myself to continue being carried forward by the momentum that is in full swing regarding new and better employment opportunities as with selling the camper van back to the RV dealership and reining in and taking more serious control over my finances as well as getting more serious about reading Tarot Cards for others.
Then just before heading out the door from the job that I really no longer fit the boss let me know that he appreciates me and enjoys working with me and has given me another raise. I really appreciate his sentiment and the raise although from my research of similar types of jobs I should be making another $5.00 per hour but at least I see and say that he's making an effort but I still need to move on.
I'm moving on, have to, the momentum is there so I'm hanging on and going for a ride so I can see where it takes me. For instance, as I was heading from one account to another this afternoon, I decide to take lunch at the Metrotown Mall or maybe it's now called Metrotown at Metropolis but anyhow I stopped there for my lunch break.
I was drawn to Chapter's, the bookstore so I proceeded there to browse the magazine shelves, found nothing and continued browsing the shelves of books that populate the store. Found or made my way to the "New Age" section and quickly scanned the shelves, nothing too interesting or so I thought then this book stood out: "The Only TAROT Book You'll Ever Need" by Skye Alexander. Oh, no, I thought, not yet another book about reading the cards. So I scanned the shelves again and again this book beckoned to me. So I took it from the shelf, read the excerpt on the back. Yeah, sure, really don't need another book on tarot, I thought, paused, put it back on the shelf, no maybe not yet, flip through the pages, no, don't need it, on the shelf it goes, no, read from a few pages, hhhmmm, don't think so but I'm drawn to the book.
Why?
Trust your intuition, trust your intuition...buy the book. So that's what I did. Sat in the van with a few minutes left on my break and read a bit more from the book and yes, my intuition is right. This book is a worthwhile read for me. Oh, my break ended five minutes ago.
Oops!
So that was my lunch break...learning yet again that I need to always trust my intuition.
Stay with the momentum that is moving you to where you need to go, trust your intuition, be focused on the prize you seek, and take the time to do things right. No time for shortcuts or carelessness these days.
Thank You Spirit.
Sleeping in is my first thought upon awaking in the morning these days. During the night if I awake, my thoughts are all about Spirit, Gaia and Tarot, as Wizard Oron, that would be me, takes flight in my dreams. takes flight in my dreams.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity. Research. Computers, e-mail. Immature communication. Spying (or "hacking").”
"Curiosity. Research. Computers, e-mail." These are bringing opportunities my way. I received another email regarding yet another employment opportunity that is really close to home, pretty much a walk out the door, the back door of the condo tower I call home. Being so close to home makes this an ideal opportunity for me. My commute is perhaps a minute or two. The only hold up to my commute would be the elevator but using the stairs will likely be chosen route to follow for this commute.
Thank goodness for computers and technology as opportunities literally come to your Inbox. No more newspapers to scan or employment offices to visit, everything can now be down online. And computers and the Internet can really be a great way to unleash and satisfy our curiosity. How great it is to have information and answers literally at our fingertips and a simple mouse click away.
Thank You Spirit.
Had a positive phone call yesterday regarding a new employment opportunity that has come my way from LinkedIn. Although, I'm still a Tarot Intuitive offering Intuitive Tarot services this new job opportunity is right up my alley so I'm going to pursue it and do my best to land this job.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath. Regret over past actions.”
Quit looking to the past with regret. Instead turn around and look at what you have as well as look toward your untapped future. A future full of potential and unlimited possibilities. Imagine the life you want and get about creating it.
The past is done, lay it to rest, come back to the present, appreciate it, appreciate this very moment. Then know that the future you desire can be yours. Be considerate of the choices you make and the reactions you have to what comes your way. It's not whether it's good or bad that's important, it's how you react to it that matters most.
So get past your regret and bring yourself back to the here and now and get on with life and living it to the fullest and best way you can.
Thank You Spirit.
Another week has started and although the I'm still at the job I no longer fit it's a good start to the week. As yesterday, I looked at my Card of the Year as I forgot to do this on my birthday last month and the year ahead has a good vibe to it. Justice has been served, the slate wiped clean, and brighter days lie ahead. Of course, all of this is dependent upon me and the decisions, actions and choices I make as well my reactions to what comes my way.
Sleep is slowly getting better as well. Less worry on my mind, not that I should be worrying about things. I do know better but as much as I know that worry is wasted energy I still get wound up about things and worry. Last night was different though. I felt good. Tarot and speaking to people filled my mind as did images of plants and animals, forests, mountains, rivers and streams--enjoyment of life, life's simple pleasures, enjoying a bit of nature and feeling at home being in the great outdoors.
Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “4 of Coins: The Lighting Director. A position of power. Wanting to control how others perceive things.”
With having and holding the image of the “4 of Coins" in my mind I feel the energy of the card tell me that "Wanting to control how others perceive things" is not a good way to approach, interact or engage with people. We must allow people to have their own thoughts as well as encourage and empower them to speak their minds. We need people to feel free and to embrace their thoughts, ideas and opinions and feel free in giving them voice and sharing them with other people. We might not always agree but people do have a voice for a reason and we're not here to judge them for giving voice to what makes them tick.
Thank You Spirit.
Did our weekly grocery run yesterday so we could make last night's dinner, Arroz con Pollo. Delicious!
Relaxed the rest of the day and took it easy.
Spirit Is and today's (Whimsical) Tarot Energy is "VII The Chariot: Victories are on the horizon. Reject negative people but don’t judge them harshly. Appeal to others’ sense of fair play. This is a very good time for travel, taking a break, and getting away. When reversed: People are more defensive now. Don’t give in to intimidation or pressure. No one wants to waste time. Expect last-minute cancellations of plans."
I do reject negative people and do my best not to judge them for I do not like to be judge myself. I'm also appealing to others' sense of fair play for the benefit of all, not only myself. I sense relief is just around the corner, a victory I suppose but something that is related to others' sense of fair play. And taking a break and getting away is something I want to do but will wait to do once I see that others' are treating me as fairly as I'm treating them. It all goes hand in hand.
I had really great dreams last night that I believe are related to the "VII The Chariot". One dream was about entering into a good and better financial relationship with my bank and the other was about successfully teaching about "The Fool's Journey" and providing Intuitive Tarot services through a variety of social media platforms. These dreams came through after much thought about banking and having a passion for Tarot and Spirit filled my mind and left a smile on my face.
Thank You Spirit.
What better day for someone to embark on, to start their own Fool's Journey than today, All Fools Day?
In addition to trying to transition over to being more actively engaged with my spiritual passions and interests I'm also looking for a different job or career where my time, skills, and talents are put to better use as well being paid what I'm worth. I've applied for one such opportunity and have a telephone interview on Monday for another. That's on the jobs front. Regarding the pursuit of my spiritual passions and interests I'm going to fine tune a few things and set up a little studio of sorts in the den--finding a way to somehow tuck it in and around my model railroad and the in home office and desk of my partner. This all in an effort to give myself more exposure as well as advertise and let people see for themselves through videos the skill and talent I have as a Tarot Intuitive.
Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "12 The Mirror: Patience and prudence are the keywords here, although trust plays a large part in the process of crossing to the island where insights into our own unconscious workings may be revealed. This process differs from the journey of the Hooded Man, who makes a conscious decision to withdraw and contemplate the universe. In the Mirror, a surrender of will is required. Insights may come from dreams and meditations, but now is the time to force the pace or drive on with a plan or desire until you have heard what your soul has to say, and your bruised and wounded spirit has been healed. Be patient. Let the journey commence and awaken afresh and full of energy, ready to deal with the world and the challenges it raises."
"In the Mirror, a surrender of will is required" and this is exactly what I've done, surrendered my will. I've relinquished all control over to the universe and Spirit allowing the pure energy that is wash over me and cleanse me of all that I no longer need and that needs to go in my life. I've "Let the journey commence" so I can "awaken afresh and full of energy, ready to deal with the world and the challenges it raises."
I'm a blank page, a fresh sponge ready to soak up and learn all that the universe and Spirit have to teach me, ready to be a conscious co-creator with the universe allowing the cosmos to grow, evolve and expand through me and into all life that I encounter. I'm ready to make amends and start fresh and in fact my journey has already started.
Thank You Spirit.
