Thursday, October 16, 2014. I slept rather well however awoke a couple of times for a bathroom break. Having tea so close to bedtime sometimes has that affect on me. But then I did fall to back to sleep quite quickly and only awoke minutes before the alarm feeling quite well rested and awake.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XV Self-Hatred: The trap to avoid for all minorities. Unconsciously accepting societal norms. Low self-esteem.”
I’m realizing that I need to let go of this need to fit in with the work-a-day life that I wish to leave behind me in favour of working for myself and earning whatever income I can from the realization my dreams and do it now and not wait for the right time to come. I need to make it happen or it will never happen.
I understand that what makes me happy is unlikely to be widely accepted by those around me but I must not let this stop me from going my own way as this is what I need to do so I can grow and blossom as the real person I am.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 10 of Wands and Having Dreams Yet Living in Reality
Wednesday, October 15th, 2014. I guess I was not paying attention yesterday as I wrote the date as the 15th instead of the 14th. Let me just double check the date—yes, indeed it is Wednesday, October 15th today and the year still is 2014.
Whew!
I slept rather well last night and although I did awake before the alarm I fell back to sleep enough where I was more than dozing yet not quite in that lovely REM sleep that really knocks us out and allows us to relax and rest up for the day ahead.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Cups: The Ideal. Your secret dreams. Attainment. Unrealistic, wishful thinking.”
I’m doing my best to be grounded in reality yet at the same time have my dreams and do my best to realize my goals. I have my ideal life in mind and after re-reading a book on chakras I was reminded that I also need to do more to live life more my way than the way others expect me to live. This realization also brought to mind ideas that I had for my life almost fifteen years ago. So if I desire to be more in tune with others, myself, with Spirit, with the cosmos I need to do more to live my life according to what I feel makes me tick, makes me feel at peace with myself and the world around me.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 5 of Wands and Stepping Back
Tuesday, October 15th, 2014. I awoke around 4am and then dozed on and off until the alarm sounded at 6am. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the alarm for Monday and it awoke me from a very deep sleep and then I couldn’t fall fully back to sleep yesterday either so I’m kind of tired this evening.
I stayed late at work today as we had a quick meeting that started at 4:30pm and went past 5:00pm. So I did not get home until about 5:40pm. I’ll likely have another possible late tomorrow as well as the owners are taking a quick vacation for about ten days starting Thursday.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Wands: The Hockey Game. The project meets resistance. Testing one’s ideas against others. An enjoyable struggle. Competition in the marketplace.”
I’m taking a step back to try and see how I can better prepare myself and how I can best move forward with my career goals and how I can best handle life without a job where my time is being bought by an employer and instead rely on my own business sense to pay myself wages.
Not only do I have to be disciplined in working for myself I must also be disciplined in being aware of the marketplace and the competition I’m up against. My desired career is a fuzzy one at best so I need to be on my toes and understand my customer base as well as where they and I can take my career.
Perhaps, I should also be willing to work with all others in the same field so we can grow our businesses together and be in a friendly spirit of competition instead of an adversarial one.
Thank You Spirit.

The 8 of Coins and Harmonizing with Spirit
Monday, October 13th, 2014. We had a safe and quick adventure to and from Kamloops to visit my dad and his wife. They’re doing alright and have definitely downsized their lifestyle. Their apartment is a tiny one.
Kamloops from what we saw has a very small town feel to it and not much to my liking. Perhaps, a nice place to visit but I could not see myself living there. The drive up was pretty much dry but coming back today, it was a soaker at times and as is usual, traffic bunched up as we hit Chilliwack and moved on into Abbottsford. So the three hour trip was about four plus hour trip back because of the traffic congestion.
Nice to see my dad and his wife and I’m likely to go visit more often considering the three hour drive. We just won’t do it on a long weekend.
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.”
As I’m tweaking my life here and there I’m more in harmony and in tune with the universe and on the cusp of experiencing the realization of my goals. Getting to more serious work on my model railroad has led me to prepare for more serious work investing in all matters of spirit—Tarot, Meditation, Chakras and harmonizing with Spirit. I want to have my spiritual self, my spiritual energy in tune with Spirit. A few more adjustments and fine-tuning and I’m there.
Thank You Spirit.

VII The Chariot and Finding a Way to Stop Spinning My Wheels
Sunday, October 12th, 2014. Namaste…
…the long weekend is much appreciated as this the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend however it is also shorter in some senses as we are traveling out of town today for a quick overnight trip to Kamloops, returning home tomorrow. My dad and his wife live up there and this will be my first there since they moved to Kamloops about two years ago. It’s time for a visit.
Yesterday was pretty much a home day although we did venture out briefly as I made a trip to the hobby store to pick up a few things so I move ahead with the new plans for my model railroad layout. We also ventured out for an afternoon coffee and a brief walk along the river.
This morning as I worked with Tarot I got to thinking how I need to really focus on developing my spirit, my spiritual life, and my desired spiritual career of sorts. This thought likely started yesterday as I pulled a few books off the shelf regarding Tarot, Chakras, and listening skills. If I wish to move forward and achieve my goals I need to find focus and make forward progress instead of constantly spinning my wheels and moving nowhere. These thoughts likely brought about today’s visiting Tarot Card, “VII The Chariot: Among the highs and lows of life, make sure you enjoy the highs. At the top of one's game. Seizing an opportunity. Having everything under control (barely).”
Goals are within reach but I must put in the hard and extra effort needed to get me past the last hurdle—myself.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 6 of Coins and Being Grateful and Giving
Saturday, October 11th, 2014. We had a quiet evening at home last night. After dinner and a shower I tinkered with my model railroad layout. I’m tweaking the track plan a little and will likely add about twelve inches to length of the layout as it will provide the layout with enough room for me to have not only a satisfactory track plan but a better overall layout with more “land” and “scenery” to create as I work to complete the layout. I plan to visit the hobby store today to pick up a couple of items so I can further move along with building my long dreamed about yet very much adapted model railroad.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Coins: Dependence. Resentment because of financial dependence on another. Charity. An unequal relationship.”
As much as we may dislike having to rely on someone else for financial support we must not only be grateful for such support we should also show our appreciation and thankfulness for it too! As much as I’d like to be financially self-sufficient and I sometimes get dismayed at my predicament, if I can call it such, I’m also very thankful I have full-time job that pays me a decent wage for the work I do.
This morning as I quickly sat down to meditate before working with Tarot my eyes were opened to the lost sense of direction I found myself in which then opened up the door to the direction I need to go in order to be where I most want to be—financially self-sufficient or as close to it as I can get.
As I write this new ideas are flowing through my mind as to how to tweak my up and coming website and how I can best move forward in the world I wish to create for myself through a new a career path that will enable my free flowing spirit to soar.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 5 of Cups and XII The Hanged Man
Friday, October 10th, 2014. So a couple of days have passed us by or almost as there is still five hours of Friday left to enjoy.
Yesterday was a super busy day at work and as much as I was looking forward to simply coming home to crash we agreed to meet a friend for dinner. As is in most cases, dinner was good and the conversation was great. We chatted for a couple of hours at The Reef on Main Street in Vancouver. We arrive back home around 9:30 or so.
Yesterday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath. Regret over past actions.” As well I took notice of “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key. Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”
The “5 of Cups” surprises me when it drops by for a visit but then I always come to an understanding of why it shows up as it reminds me to be on the lookout for and to do my best to avoid making rash decisions of get stuck in a doubtful way of thinking. And then it’s also reminding me that better things are always around the corner. Additionally, if I’m directing my passions I’m less likely to do things I regret later.
Today was a much better day than yesterday, quiet yet comfortably busy and a nice quite simple end to the work day. I’m glad as I lay awake for about an hour and a half last night and awoke feeling a bit tired. In fact, the alarm awoke me and as I rolled for a second I almost fell back to sleep.
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.”
Not knowing is okay and I’m finally accepting this fact of my life. I don’t know everything and I acknowledge this and surrender to the loving presence, guidance, and comfort of Spirit in my life. I need a alone day, a quiet day where I can get away from it all and simply “be”. A good dose of nature therapy will do me just fine.
Not knowing and admitting that we do not often illuminates fresh new insights that allow us to move in a new direction with confidence as is revealed by another card today that caught my attention, the “2 of Wands: Confidence. Being the king of your castle. Preparing the ground for a new venture. The dawn of an adventure.”
I do have more smarts than I give myself credit especially in relation to the new direction I wish to go. In fact, it’s not really a new direction at all as I given thought to many times over the past years, if not over the past ten or fifteen years or even slightly longer. I simply need to believe in myself and allow my natural talents and confidence to shine through as we all should.
Today is still here so I’m going to end here and get on with enjoying the rest of this fine day.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
