Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Hierophant card combined with the affirmation “it’s okay to just muddle through right now. Good enough is, in fact, good enough.”

Let’s be clear. I struggle with the “good enough” thing on a daily basis.  I -never- feel “good enough” and I never feel that anything I do or produce is “good enough”.

When the chips are down, as they are for me right now in my business?  This “good enough” issue swells and expands, and can become a massive and all encompassing issue.

The Hierophant combined with this “good enough” affirmation is a reminder that the tried and true methods are always there for me to fall back on. That it’s okay to fall back on them, as that’s what they’re there for.  It’s a reminder to keep going… work with what you know… and things will work out fine.

Question for January 17th : How can I balance structured planning with the freedom to roam, creating a harmonious exploration of my path?

Reading Summary: Remember that you don’t have to stay grounded all the time (panda spends a but amount of time in the trees instead of on the ground and both the other two are birds), just be judicial (the parrot is not flying) as to when and where are you soar (Hawk in flight).

Take Away: These cards are about incorporating what you interpret as being “less grounded” (having fun, exploration, etc) throughout your journey and process, instead of saving it up to only experience when you set aside special time for it. They are telling you that fun and adventure should be a day-to-day thing and not something that you are only experiencing when planned out.

Philosophical Question for January 17th : Is it always better to have more choices?

Reading Summary: Vying for multiple directions (Two of Wands) can make you feel bereft and like there’s more struggle than there actually is involved (Five of Pentacles). This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing to have multiple choices, just that you need to remember not all journeys are a travel of instant gratification (Seven of Pentacles), and you need to use your inner wisdom (High Priestess) to make choices during that time instead of listening to your impatience.

Take Away: You know how sometimes when you have a lot on your plate, you end up frozen and unable to do anything… and you end up procrastinating instead of getting anything done? That is what the Two of Wand and Five of Pentacles are indicating here.

The High Priestess atop the Seven of Pentacles is then saying that in order to get through these times, it’s better to move slowly with small steps rather than not move at all, and that using your inner knowledge and intuition can help you best decide which small thing to focus on first.

I ate cookies.  A lot of really good cookies.  Almost too many cookies, if that’s possible.
