Today’s meditation was skipped in deference to more sleep again.

Tarot of Myths and Legends and It's Going to Be Okay 2024 Day-to-Day Calendar by Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles with the affirmation “Future you can handle their own problems. You handle today.”

I’m dealing with a lot of stress over the last few days concerning my business. It’s been… extraordinarily slow, and that always freaks me out.  More so when it’s so extreme as it is right now. I’ve never experienced a low like this, and it creates a lot of stress about the future of my business and a massive swirling vortex of “what if” thinking.

These cards are a reminder that all that what if thinking solves nothing.  Stressing over the future solves nothing.  Worry about today… tomorrow will take care of itself.

I took naps today. Multiple naps.   I’m still tired, but I definitely got a lot of rest.

Gideon’s Challenge

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

SwansThanks and Gratitude

So much of my life has been spent alone that sometimes I forget how wonderful it is to have community that cares about you.

Yesterday, someone pilfered one of my pictures from here on IG, and it was brought home to me again just how nice it is to have people who care about you and have your back.  People that will reach out and give you a heads up, and even reach out to stand up for you when shit goes awry.

Today’s Gideon’s Challenge isn’t a poem, but rather a sincere expression of gratitude to those around me that are so supportive.  I see you… and I am so very grateful for your presence in my life.

So You Don’t Want to Speak Up Lenormand Reading

So You Don't Want to Speak Up Lenormand Reading with Pentagram's Wooden Lenormand Set

Something keeping you silent.

Key and Tree – You are in a lot of physical pain right now, and instead of expressing that pain you are choosing to not listen to your body as closely as it wants.  You don’t want to bother others with your ailments and pain, and so you are hiding this from others and, to a certain extent, even to yourself. Your silence in this allows you to present a healthy and impervious front, when in truth you are anything but at the moment.

A truth you need to sit with.

Stork and Woman – Gideon brought this up before Christmas and it’s something you need to bring to the fore and sit with for a while instead of continuing to ignore.  You *can* shut her out of your life forever… but should you? It may be time to try to turn over a new leaf in this area.

A way to address your fears.

Bouquet and Moon – Don’t let them get out of hand. Your fears are only as big as you allow them to be.  Whether it’s about your physical condition or your mother, the more you stew and do not share, the bigger these fears and concerns will inflate until they are so exaggerated that they cause you to freeze in uncertainty.  Do not allow them to reach that point.
