"XVII The Star" and Living as Spirit

Another night of good sleep with a little bit of sleeplessness.  Today, the last day of a two week period where I was doing the jobs of two people, myself and another service technician.  So as a thank you to myself for surviving these two busy and somewhat stressful weeks I made a stop at Reflections Books during my late lunch break.  I walked out of Reflections with a book, a new deck of tarot cards, and two more crow collectables.  The book, Big Magic was written by Elizabeth Gilbert and the tarot deck, Tarot of the Spirit was created by Pamela and Joyce Eakins.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real.  Hope. Serenity.  Clarity.  Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit.  A dream becomes real.”

Spirit is Real and this includes my spirit, your spirit, everyone's spirit.  Spirit is undeniably real!  Firsthand experience on a daily basis is what I can say whether I'm aware of it or not.  Let your spirit out and give it free reign.  Clarity and faith again based on my experiences of and with Spirit, with my spiritual self and the spiritual world of which we are all a part.

Thank You Spirit.

"XIV Temperance" and Starting a New Career While Still Working at Another Job

A bit of sleepless night but also a pretty good sleep as I briefly awoke and saw the time a little after 5:00am but the alarm awoke me from my slumber.  A mixture of dreams put me more to sleep or awoke me.  Luckily those nasty job related dreams were brief and quickly booted out of my mind, replaced by dreams of Tarot Cards and sitting in coffee places greeting clients as they sat at my "table".  Imagine that, having a table at a coffee place, well not really but for the time I was there it was certainly my table.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “XIV Temperance: Mix things up a little.  Combining separate elements to create something new.  Moderation (not too much of each flavour).  Flexibility.”

Go after what you want is the message I'm receiving from “XIV Temperance" today but with a suggestion.  The suggestion being to find a way to transition to a career while keeping a job I  somewhat dislike and quite ambivalent about.  I really do not wish to work there and am now going to aim at leaving the job at the latest in September, giving my notice before my vacation starts.

So how to go about mixing things up a little?  Why, with social media, of course.  And redesigned business cards that are straight to the point and effective in making people take notice of who I am and what I have to offer.  Yes!  Right on!  I ready to go.  I'm taking the leap.

Thank You Spirit.

The "6 of Coins", Discovering and Flexing Our Independence

The 2017 BC Election was much more fun to watch than it was back in 2013.  We stayed up a little past bedtime still not knowing which party was to form government but we had to sleep.  Although, my sleep was quite restless.

Yesterday's Gay Tarot Energy was "XVI Revelation".

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the "6 of Coins: Dependence.  Resentment because of financial dependence on another.  Charity.  An unequal relationship."

To stop being so dependent on others, we must develop a mindset of independence where in no way do we allow our lives to hinge on others in any manner or sort of way.  We must strive to be free and independent in every facet of our lives.  This is not say that we cannot have or be in a relationship but rather that we have to have a certain level of independence and self-reliability so that we can survive on our own if ever faced with such a circumstance.

Thank You Spirit.

The "Guide of Coins"

For about ten days, we'll have a houseguest, her name is Zooey, if I remember correctly, my brother's adopted cat as my brother has taken a vacation.  She's been a bit shy but allowed me to pick her up.  She's not so shy anymore.  She sat on my lap for ten or fifteen minutes after which I was wearing a fur coat, thanks to her.  And so far my allergies are staying in check but I'm going to take some allergy medication before going to bed.

Had some interesting dreams last night.  In one we were parking along a gravel road, that would be my partner, brother, sister and brother-in-law.  My brother's vehicle seemed to be parked there and he may have been having some trouble getting it started.  We were going to park near him but I then parked on the other side of the road near a bridge.  Once parked we exited the vehicle and that's when I noticed that it was parked a bit too close to a small creek running alongside the road so I proceeded to life the car up by the front bumper to move it into a better position.  Somewhere along the way the car was moved somewhere else even though a ditch suddenly appeared by the road so I'm not sure how I had parked the car in the first place.

In the second dream the premier of BC appeared even though she was unwelcome.  She was hoping to convince me that building the Site C dam was okay and was in no way harming the environment/  I was having none of that and was also slightly embarrassed as she showed up even though we were in bed sleeping...so odd!  And besides destroying thousands of hectares of farmland it was wiping out some rare species of flora and fauna found only in BC is going to add likely ten billion dollars to BC's already massive debt that no one seems too concerned about.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane.  Spiritual fulfillment from nature.  Finding joy in the ordinary.”

Spiritual fulfillment from nature was where it was at for me yesterday.  We walked along the trails and dikes of the Serpentine Wildlife Management Area.  71 hectares of "a mosaic of wetland, riparian, and open field habitats for migratory waterfowl and other wildlife within the Fraser River Delta and Pacific Flyway."  (http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/habitat/conservation-lands/wma/serpentine/)

What a beautiful area to enjoy a sunny day.  We saw crows, red-winged blackbirds, wrens, geese, mallards, and ducks.  And all of this land sandwiched in triangular form between Highway 99 and the King George Highway.

We continued our nature tour with a visit to OWL as they had an open house this past weekend.  OWL rescues many a bird and reptile with the aim of releasing them back into the wild which cannot always happen as the injuries suffered may require amputations or worse.

So with being out in and with nature my spirit is soothed, cleansed, purified and energized.  I feel quite good and intuitively sense that I'm about to, if I have not already, embark upon a new more spiritually rewarding path.

Thank You Spirit.

The "6 of Coins" and Redirecting Our Energies

We had another evening out enjoying yet another great performance.  This time it was Vancouver Opera's production of Verdi's Otello down at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.  Before dinner we chowed down on some fantastic beef brisket, coleslaw and potato salad at Peckinpah, a barbecue restaurant in Gastown.

Spirit Is and today's great Gay Tarot Energy is the "6 of Coins: Dependence.  Resentment because of financial dependence on another.  Charity.  An unequal relationship."

The "6 of Coins" is warning us against being resentful for that which we have full control, especially, if we are lacking the financial resources of others such as our partners, family members or close friends.  We must instead direct and focus our energies on the fact that we have it within us to be as financially independent as they are for we have the very resources we need at our fingertips.  We need to unleash and set free the self-esteem and self-confidence hiding within us so that we too can gain our own solid financial footing that will allow us to stand on our own two feet and pay our own way!

Don't limit yourself and don't hinder the success that is waiting for you and your to have, you just have to reach for it.  Go on, get to it!

Thank You Spirit.

The "Sage of Wands" and Communicating on a Spiritual Level to Change the World

We had a night out last evening.  We were energised and pumped by a fiery flamenco show, "La Tarara" as put on by Kasandra Flamenco.  She is Canadian and then brought in two male flamenco dancers from Spain and musicians from around the world to round out the performance.  A wonderful and well-received show as the audience leapt out of their seats to give a rousing applause and standing ovation at the end of the show.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “Sage of Wands: Wanting to change the world.  Changing your environment by winning others over to your viewpoint.  Critical acclaim.  Politics.”

Today's Energy emanating from the “Sage of Wands" is advising us to help people open up their hearts, minds, bodies and souls to thinking outside the box as well as to be open and receptive to viewpoints other than their own and even those that may even vehemently disagree with.  We need to encourage people to open their minds through their spirits so that they move beyond their way of thinking and can see, hear, and especially listen to what others have to say through the more objective non-judgemental world of spirit.

We must empower people to move beyond human logic, judgement, reaction, and way of seeing things so that they are open to the world of possibilities and new and possibly unlimited ways of thinking and seeing the world.   We need to get them to the world through new eyes, to have them connect with others and world, spirit-to-spirit!

This is how we can change the world not for our own benefit but the benefit of all as we are doing this in the spiritual realms.  If we are drawing all of our dreams, desires, ideas, opinions, attitudes, etc through spirit then our energy is rooted and comes from the cosmic realms where are one with the "All" and where our unique and individual expressions in the world are more pure and universally driven.

So go on and change the world for you are doing so from one spirit to another and for the good of all!

Thank You Spirit.

An Uplifting Visit to Reflections Bookstore and the "7 of Swords"

So many days without writing.  Went through a bit of an argument and battle with myself but I think the issue is resolved.  I say this because I visited Reflections Bookstore, one of, if not my favourite store in the area and had a very uplifting and energising exchange and experience with the woman behind the counter...she told me that my heart is full of cosmic love and always will be and that we are made up of the same stuff as the stars and are universally connected with a force that always resides within us.  It's beyond words to describe how she made me feel.  Oh, and she gave people star and heart stickers as part of the experience.  Being more involved with Reflections Bookstore is looking like it might be in my near future.  And why did I go to Reflections Bookstore, because I was drawn there today.  And the I picked up Morganite, Amethyst, Zebra Jasper, and Celestite, and a Magnetic Ring.

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.”

"Someone brings news or a message" is right on the money for me as I sure did receive a message I needed to hear at Reflections.  What a great store and what a way to make my day better and somewhat compensate for the stressful time I'm having at the job these days.  My dreams are real, they are here, I am living them.  Therefore, I am a Writer, Spiritual Tarot Intuitive and an RVer just as I have been dreaming about for almost thirty years.

Thank You Spirit.
