The 8 of Coins Complemented by XI Strength

Sunday, November 30th, 2014.  The year’s end is fast approaching and it seems likely it hardly started not long ago.  2014 has been a year that moved at warp speed.

We met a new neighbour yesterday and sat and chatted with him over coffee.  Seems like a decent enough fellow, we’ll likely connect with him again over dinner.  We also drove out to south Surrey so I could pick up a couple of model railroad items I ordered some time ago.  These orders come through every three or four months, perfect timing for me.  Then before getting onto our dinner plans we made a quick run over to Home Depot so we can build our laundry cabinet.  The evening snuck by us though as dinner was close to 9:00pm.  A busy day!

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Coins: The Factory.  Skill and mastery.  Tedious, repetitive labour.  Slow and methodical progress.”, complemented by “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key.  Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”

Since, I am, we are moving forward with some projects around the house (condo) I/we are being reminded to take a slow and methodical approach in our efforts so we avoid making mistakes and end with very good results.  Some of this will involve deconstructing an existing cabinet and revamping it to make a new cabinet more suitable cabinet for my model railroad to sit on.  This new cabinet will be on wheels so I can move it around providing me with the ability to work around the layout without having to lean and stretch over it to reach what is now the back of the layout.

I’m also reminded to work carefully with my many projects and passions and do so in harmony with the powerful energies that swirl around, through, and within me so that I remain in control and positively focused on creating the best environment for myself as well as those around me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 2 of Coins Complemented by the 7 of Coins

Saturday, November 29th, 2014.  We had another quite and serene evening at home.  Both of us doing a whole lot of nothing and then discovering it was time for bed.  Sure I read a little, took a couple of measurements for a new handmade cabinet in the laundry area, as well as pushed a boxcar around my model railroad track but that was minutes out of hours.  I and I think I can even say we quite enjoyed our lazy evening at home.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “2 of Coins: Tai Chi.  Flexibility.  “Going with the flow”.  Living in tune with your environment.”, with a complementary visit from the “7 of Coins: Chores.  Resting after a job well done.  Contemplating life's cycles and changes.  Planning your next move.  Clearing out what's unnecessary in your life to make way for something new.”

Harmony, balance, tranquility, calm, serenity, serendipity, synchronicity are thoughts and feelings that come to mind when I think about the “2 of Coins”.  Life has a certain feeling of peace and calm to it and this is re-enforced by the “7 of Coins”.

Not only do we need to work toward a balanced state in our lives, we need to be the balanced state in our lives.  Allow feelings of peace, calm, and love be states of being in our lives so they are enmeshed into every atom of our being and every single breath we take.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Youth of Cups with Support from the Man of Cups

Friday, November 28th, 2014.  We had another simple evening at home.  Dinner was had and we watched a bit of TV and then I read a couple entries from one of my favourite blogs as well as browse through my Model Railroader magazine then off to bed it was for around 10:45pm.  I awoke a few times the last being around 5:37 but I had a restful sleep and even though I only had another 23 minutes to sleep before the alarm I fell back into a deep sleep.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Youth of Cups: Youthful emotions.  Daydreaming.  Shyness.”, with support from the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer.  Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others.  Drawn to emotional crises.”

Emotions, creativity and a renewed focus are the messages of this day.  I refocused my energy and efforts on my short, medium and long-term plans with renewed emotions and understanding of my desires and goals and what it will emotionally entail when I realize my goals.  I may strike out on my own but I’ve accepted that this will be necessary and is only a new facet of and an expansion of my relationship.

Work over this past week has been hectic and draining but I transcended this drain of energy as well as the chaotic week by going to the gym to refocus and energize myself through a good solid workout three times this week.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 3 of Coins

Thursday, November 27th, 2014.  I awoke early and got on with my day instead of waiting for the alarm at 6:00am.  I had coffee, breakfast, made our sandwiches and put all of the clean dishes away and still had time to get dressed, brush my teeth and get off to work on time.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Coins: A child’s room.  Creating a positive environment for someone.  Work done for the pleasure of it.”

The best way to create a great environment is to change ourselves.  For instance, if we have a rough day we have choices as to how to handle the day and overcome the negative energy that may accompany us home.  We can turn to food, drink, anger or conflict and allow that negative energy to take control.  Or we can meditate or go to the gym and release that negative energy and breathe in the positive energy of spirit as we exercise our bodies and/or calm and clear our minds.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 3 of Wands and Paying Attention to Progress

Wednesday, November 26th, 2014.  I had a very decent night’s sleep likely because I had some Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Vanilla Tea.  My mind was relaxed as were my dreams not that I really remember any but I awoke sleepy yet well-rested.  Odd but true!

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “3 of Wands: Leaving the nest.  Seeing progress.  Something or someone you have nurtured must now strike out on their own.”, and this is accompanied by “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”.  An unfair judgment.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”

Life is movement and we must always be prepared to let things go and move at their own pace and on their own journey.  At times we may not realize what we have nurtured that has blossomed and struck out on its own until we see it just out of reach.  This is a call to pay attention and appreciate all that we have in life and all of the many things, projects, and goals that we’re working on that may have developed a life of their own.  This may even includes ourselves so look in the mirror, pay attention, and actively participate in your life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 6 of Cups and X The Wheel of Life with Support

Tuesday, November 25th, 2014.  Another unexpected day’s hiatus from writing and blogging after a surprise visit from a friend and dinner out.

I slept well last night and have been sleeping for many a night and also having some strange and often active dreams.

Monday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Cups: Happy Birthday.  Fond memories.  A gift given in friendship or love.” with assistance from “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real.  Hope. Serenity.  Clarity.  Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit.  A dream becomes real.”

Love is the best gift of all and I willingly give and receive it to the best of my abilities.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “X The Wheel of Life: If life on the rim makes you dizzy, move to the centre. Awareness of the cycles of life. Equanimity. A change in fortunes. Guidance from your future or past self. “ and comes with support from the “7 of Coins: Chores.  Resting after a job well done.  Contemplating life's cycles and changes.  Planning your next move.  Clearing out what's unnecessary in your life to make way for something new.”

I live with purpose, go with the flow, and adapt as need be.  I like the slower pace of life and as such spend more time at home and doing a whole lot of nothing.  Don’t get me wrong as I do go out and about but do so with purpose.  I go to the gym, we go out and enjoy a meal or two, we do things that create experiences more than anything else.

I, as we should all try to do is enjoy and appreciate life and awaking each day to enjoy life for another day.  I appreciate my job, the income I earn, the residence I (we) live in, the food we eat, the clean water that comes out of our taps, and the relative safe environment we live in and I even appreciate the weather as rainy as it may be.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XXI The World with an Appearance by the 4 of Swords

Sunday, November 23rd, 2014.  We had our downtown Vancouver outing yesterday as we went for our every two year eye exams.  My eyes are slightly worse but healthy.  We didn’t do much other than window shop as we strolled along a couple of our favourite streets.  Oh, I did make a purchase of beard oil and moustache wax since I sporting both these days.  Other than that we had a quiet evening at home.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XXI The World: Life can be a heavy burden or a joyful one, it is mostly up to you.  Transcending your circumstances by changing them or accepting what can’t be changed.” with an appearance by the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals.  Resting and gathering strength for the next phase.  A vacation or “time out”.”

Our lives are often a reflection of ourselves and as such, my life, my world is a joyful one.  And my weekends are like mini vacations not that I hate my job so much as it is that I’d like to be working at or in a more “spiritual” enterprise.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
