La Bohème

I slept very well last night.  We got into bed around 11:45pm after getting home from enjoying a wonderful performance of La Bohème that was put on by the Vancouver Opera.  As the performers set their voices free and serenaded us with their songs that were fueled by the orchestra we were whisked away, back in time to 19th century Paris, France.  As each song gave way to another, the stage, the theatre gave way to the streets, sounds and life of Paris and Puccini who wrote the opera.

Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot card is “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of "justice".  An unfair judgement.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others' expectations.”    This morning the last statement is what stands out most for me; “feeling restricted by others’ expectations” as I really want to try and pursue my own way of earning a living without having to resort getting a job and working for someone else.  I want to work for me and cease working for others and at the same time trying to fit into that mold that I just do not want to squeeze myself into.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Grace and Peace to You.

Blessed Be.

Getting Better At This

I'm learning the ropes around blogging and increasing the frequency of my posts. This medium is a wonderful way for me to grow Spiritually and to share my thoughts with those who find this my blog. Thank you to all of you who stop by and read. I really appreciate it.

Yesterday's visiting Tarot card is "XIX The Sun; ordinary moments in life are the best because they just are, they come to be and are more satisfying than anything else in the world because they come without expectations and end up being so wonderful. Ordinariness breeds optimism and doing the best you can and doing the best you can often leads to a job well done. And there is nothing wrong with things being familiar either. Familiarity is comforting and stress relieving.

Today's visiting Tarot card is "IX The Hermit; thank you “Hermit” for visiting me again to remind me that I need to escape “things” that are too close to me in order for me to fully understand them.

Thank you Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Two Cards Two Messages

Had a great night's sleep.  After two nights of awaking to worry it was night to just sleep and not even realize that I was sleeping.

Spirit is and today I'm being visited again by two cards, the first being the 2 of Cups and the second being the 7 of Wands.  I need to have a conversation with myself and look at my options more realistically than I have been.  I will then be able to make a more well informed decision about my plans, my future plans, goals, and desires and overcome the odds that are against me, that is if there are any other than those I impose upon myself.

Blessed Be.

Winning Against the Odds

Awaking in the middle of the night and then keeping myself awake fretting and worrying over little things that should not really matter all that much.  I'm working on a "project" and I go to thinking about how to proceed with it today.  There is nothing there to worry about but the wheels kept turning in my head.  Going through different scenarios and approaches when again there is nothing for me to worry about as the project is moving along quite well.

Worry gets me nowhere.

However, Spirit always is and today's visiting Tarot card is the "7 of Wands"

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessed Be.

Tarot Cards Reflections of Life

The wind has died down and the rain will hold off for another day.  Fall weather has finally arrived.  I quite enjoy the weather really no matter if it is rainy, windy, snowy, cold, warm, hot, or sunny as the weather is what it should be and we should appreciate it no matter what.

Spirit is.  Thank You Spirit.

Yesterday's visiting Tarot card was "XIX The Sun" and what a great card for the day as I enjoyed the ordinariness of the day, was content with what I was doing, full of optimism and satisfied by the work I was doing.  Life is good.

Today's visiting Tarot card is the "9 of Swords" and is quite the reflection of my poor night's sleep of worry, anxiety and self-imposed stress.  However, this morning as I got on with my day, working with Spirit and Tarot, gathering a few of the handcrafted cards I made, and getting ready to go out this morning confidence and optimism returned to me.

I walked out the door feeling quite good and returned home feeling even better.  I was happy with myself as the walk in the cool fall air cleansed my mind and soul.

Thanks for reading.

Blessed Be.

Regrets Over Past Actions

The rains and winds are in full force today.  The skies are gray and the windows are being pelted by the wind driven rain.  It is cool yet warm.

Today's visiting Tarot card is the 5 of Cups, hence the title of the post.  This card likely came as a result of my feelings that came out as we watched "Closer".  The movie provided me with a lot of food for thought and turned my mind toward my past actions and inactions and the regrets I have because of them.  

However, I am not saddened by this as I understand that such experiences and our reflections on our experiences help to move us forward in a more positive and enduring light.  I feel enlightened by having watched this movie and slept on my feelings it brought to the surface.  My mind is clear and my path forward is now in the light and much easier to see and follow.

Thank you Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Seeing Two Sides

The rain has returned to Vancouver and oddly enough it is nice to see.  Traffic was a bit horrendous yesterday but other than that the day was a positive one.

Spirit is and today's visiting Tarot card is "VI The Lovers" and relationship is prominent as is a desire to travel, work and play from the comfort of an RV.

Energy is healthy and positive and all is going well in our world.

Blessed Be.
