Tuesday, September 30, 2014. I had a decent night last night albeit still feeling under the weather. A friend popped by to visit however I cut the visit short as I started feeling more under the weather than earlier in the day and wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed. So off to bed around 10pm again last night.
Spirit is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Coins: The Factory. Skill and mastery. Tedious, repetitive labor. Slow and methodical progress.”
So another message to continue to move forward with my goals through growing spiritually by way of continued work with Tarot, meditation, coaching and chakra studies and of course, working on my model railroad. So over the next nine or ten months I’ll be working toward my new career and travels in a van conversion. I want to be debt free and free of any large financial obligations other than vehicle insurance, food costs, and telephone and internet fees.
Sometimes the slow approach is the best one and the best way to go about achieving our desires even though we often want them to happen sooner rather than later.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

XII The Hanged Man, Present Moment Awareness and A Willingness to Learn
Monday, September 29th, 2014. I awoke earlier than the alarm, no surprise to me as I always do this when I’m home alone. Go to bed early and awake early. This turned out to be a good thing as I prepared my own breakfast and lunch so I was able to relax a little more with the extra 30 minutes I had.
I relaxed last night by piddling around with my model railroad. I was looking at the layout and trying to envision a town plan for the available land on the layout as well as come up with new colours for the Atlas Suburban Passenger Station I’ll “build” somewhere on the layout. It does come prefinished but I’m not keen on the colours so I’ll simply change it. I’m planning to put the station along the mainline and the actual town site along a siding on the opposite side of the layout. I tinkered around with this until about 10pm and then went to bed.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment. Being fully absorbed in the present. Nonattachment to goals. Seeing things from a new angle.”
Today is a day about being totally immersed in the here and now and this is what I did the entire day. Although, I do have plans and goals I’m working for they do not take away from my presence and awareness of this day and the focus I have on performing my work duties as well as the other tasks and things must be taken care on this day.
I also realized that even though I have plans for the future and how I’ll go about seeing them through I still do not know everything. In fact I likely know a whole lot of nothing about everything. We can never know everything and likely should not expect to. Instead, we should always keep an open-mind and an insatiable desire to learn throughout our lives, always keeping our eyes open to new world views and new opportunities to improve our lives.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

A Wonderful Week in Montreal
Sunday, September 28, 2014. I arrived back from our week in Montreal while my partner is visiting friends in Ottawa. I could only take a week’s vacation.
Montreal is a beautiful city, likely my favourite Canadian city other than Vancouver. Vancouver wins out because of its milder climate more so, the mild winters we get.
On Saturday, September 20, 2014, I wrote:
I’m here to help others feel at ease in the world as reminded by the “Guide of Swords: A wider perspective. Altruistic thoughts. Messages from the higher self.”
I do this through my experiences and related philosophies and by being open-minded and flexible.
The most important things I can do are use my mind and assert as well as doing my own thing. I really do not need worry myself so much about what others may think.
I know what I need. I know what makes me happy. I know what I need to do to fulfill my life’s purpose and be happy doing it.
I need to travel each and every day and I just discovered that Canada alone has about 900,000 kilometres of roads. I’d like to travel as much of this distance as I can to fulfill my “helper” role.
I’m a gypsy at heart. I know this all too well and have beaten down my longing to travel for far too long. This repression of my natural tendencies must come to an end!
On, Sunday, September 21st, 2014, I wrote:
We arrived in Montreal at 4:45pm local time yesterday as the wheels of the plane touched down on the runway of Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport. We caught the 747 Express bus to the Latin Quarter of Montreal and arrived at out hotel, Hotel St. Denis around 6:00pm. We ate a less than average meal at “Amir”.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Wands: Movement. Everything is falling into place. People or circumstances are aligning to facilitate the achievement of your goals. Matters are rapidly reaching a conclusion. A group combines their energies while maintaining individuality.”
Movement that occurs through the Divine or Sacred Awareness of one’s purpose in life and the understanding and appreciation for it and how best to fulfill it.
As I was working with Tarot the thought came over to write an email to Jag, a salesperson at Fraserway RV in Abbottsford asking him to be on the lookout for a pre-loved van conversion for me.
An additional thought is to get my own “new” website up and running as soon as possible.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Blessed Mabon. Happy 1st Day of Fall everybody.
Awaking to our second full day in Montreal. Yesterday we simply walked around the Latin Quarter and along Avenue de Mont Royal. Lots of funky and cool looking shops in these areas. One such shop is Charme et Sortilege at 4933 Rue de Grad Pré. I picked up some incense as well as a Tarot Cleansing and Protection Kit. The store has a lot of stuff I’ve not seen in other similar stores.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card of the Day is the “10 of Swords: You Choose the Script. You can choose to plug yourself into a negative viewpoint, or to unplug yourself from one. The end of a bad situation. Hysterical overreaction.”
I choose to control my life, my outlook on life and how I interact with life. The glass is half full and I’ll try to see the positive in all things, situations, and circumstances.
Thank You Spirit.

We had another great day here in Montreal yesterday although the first day of fall kept us cold as we battered by a cold wind as we walked about “Old Montreal”.
We met friends from Vancouver for dinner and entertainment as we enjoyed food and live jazz at the UPSTAIRS Jazz Bar & Grill that’s actually in the basement, hence the upside down “UPSTAIRS” on their sign related advertising materials and menus.
Our friends left early as they were tired from traveling all day so we hung out another hour or so longer before heading to another “club” for a drink or two.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card of the Day is “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”. An unfair judgment. Being too judgemental or righteous. Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”, and is accompanied by “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real. Hope. Serenity. Clarity. Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit. A dream becomes real.”
I’m doing my best to be non-judgmental (Namaste) as well as open-minded and understanding. I also no longer abide by others’ expectations and will do my own thing, all within reason, of course.
Namaste, Spirit is real and I’m clear-minded enough to know I need a newer RV of sorts, such as a van conversion so I can have a “place of my own”.
Thank You Spirit.

“XIII Death: Endings are beginnings. A phase of life is over. Allowing time to mourn. A part of yourself has outlived its usefulness.”, tempered by the “Guide of Cups”
Sunday, September 28th, 2014. Yesterday, I flew back home by myself as my partner visit friends in Ottawa for a few days. The flight was seemingly full of people with coughs and colds and ailments of all sorts and the plane also felt like a sauna. A dad was traveling with his infant child yesterday for the first time and they sat in the row in front of me. The child did not let up for much of the flight, crying and screaming more times than I could count, many a time he/she was calling out “mama”. On top of that the guy in the seat behind me kept pushing on my seat with his feet and would let up so I was never able to sit in a comfortable position for long. Then as the flight wore on I started feeling as “sick as a dog”. Feeling slightly better once off the plane and out of the airport.
But I survived and besides that Montreal was fun experience and great place to visit.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card id the “Ace of Wands: A creative inspiration. The beginning of a project or venture.”
As were in Simon’s in downtown Montreal a few days ago I saw few articles of clothing that gave rise to how I should go about displaying, if you will, my spirituality without it being too “in your face” so-to-speak or too outlandish or loud. This more applies to the energy and presence I wish to create with the launch of my “new” website and the beginning of my “new” career. Simply put, I just want to be “me”.
Is summer 2015 the time for me to come out of my “spiritual closet”?
Hhhmmm…
Thank You Spirit.

Guide of Swords and Listening to Higher Thoughts
Friday, September 19, 2014. I slept quite well considering I did awake a little before 5:00am and then quickly fell back to sleep. I was semi-conscious when the alarm sounded and was actually quite ready to get out of bed.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Swords: A wider perspective. Altruistic thoughts. Messages from the higher self.”
I see myself as a helper and this seems to be if I’m interpreting the message and energy correctly what the divine source also has in mind for me. I see myself as an assistant to and for others so that they can discover, get to know, understand and appreciate themselves for who they really are much like I’m doing and have been doing for the past several months. I always feel good when I can talk to and especially listen to others. I really do love hearing other people talk.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 7 of Wands and Not Giving Up Regardless of the Struggle
Thursday, September 18, 2014. I slept well last night and was just awaking as the alarm sounded at a bright and early 6am. I awoke feeling very good and ready to get out of bed even though it’s early and I have to go out of the house and work for the day. Things are coming along nicely though as I’m appreciating my job more yet knowing full well that it is a temporary measure and that my true calling is the life of a nomad.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “7 of Wands: Fighting the wind. A Quixotic struggle. Winning against the odds. Confrontation.”
I’m on my way to living my life as a nomad and realizing my dreams however I still have a way to go before it is fully realized in terms of the way I see it. But then again it could be sooner or even a bit later but realize my dreams of living life on the road, I will.
I must as well all must and this is to be true to ourselves as best we can be. I’m not sure how it will all work out nor do I have a detailed list of what my life will look like once I move into and live life full time on the road but I’m okay with not having all of the details. Life will be what it is and I’ll do my best to live it fully and as true to my purpose as I can.
The point is that we all have to try.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 6 of Wands and Standing Up and Believing in Ourselves
Wednesday, September 17th, 2014. I slept very well last night. I slept right up to the alarm. Very cool. Last night was simply a night of relaxing and enjoying life. I read one of my favourite blogs. I read one of my favourite magazines. Fantastic!
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Wands: The Parade. Appreciation for those who stand up for themselves. The courage of one’s convictions. Admiration, acclaim, pride.”
I as we all must not do and this is to not to give up on ourselves and the pursuit and achievement of our dreams, desires, and goals. Balanced approaches to making decisions and taking actions bring harmony and divine energy into our lives and is quickly followed by the success we desire. We must stand up for ourselves and see ourselves as worthy of achieving our cherished dreams and goals if we expect to bring them to fruition.
For instance, I working at a job that pays me decent wage, provides me with enough money to put toward and quickly pay off my debt that allows me to then focus and turn more time and attention to my passions that I can more comfortably pursue without any debt hanging over my head. And if I do my research and may an informed decision I should also end up the proud owner of a van conversion that will allow me further achievement of one my longest held passions, traveling and exploring this wonderful continent.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

VI The Lovers and Energy to be Free Yet Fully in Love
Tuesday, September 16th, 2014. I slept rather well last night. Don’t remember awaking much during the course of my sleep and only briefly before and knowing that the alarm was going to go off in a matter of minutes.
Last evening was a quiet night at home after reheating and enjoying leftovers. Didn’t watch much TV either. Was not really interested in the news and hit the bed shortly after turning that on and off after briefly catching the first couple of news stories.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences. A powerful relationship. Seeing both sides of an issue. Flexibility.”
Powerful is a relationship that has grown and blossomed to such a degree that conversations are honest, sincere, loving and heartfelt and our love surrounds in all that we do. It is this energy that can really give each of us the power to accomplish much outside our relationship and allow us to be apart yet remain fully committed to all that we have. Our love gives us our individuality, independence, and freedom to be our own persons and allow us to go our way when we need to.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
