Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was a meditation session from YouTube that I was curious about.  During the meditation, my mind wandered to a topic that it seemed to stay on for a bit. That topic being how to accept the phrase “I don’t know”, and how sometimes it is the best and wisest of answer we can give.

I don’t usually have a problem with “I don’t know”. The words come easily to my lips and regardless of the fact that I feel triggered by the words “pissant” and “stupid”? Saying that I don’t know doesn’t usually trigger any of those issues at all.  I know others who are, though, and I spent my meditation considering how I can better accept “I don’t know” from others, and appreciate their vulnerability when they say it.

Today’s draw is the Emperor card combined with the affirmation “You are a fighter ever onward.”

You know that phrase “heavy is the head that wears the crown”?  Well, they weren’t kidding.  Being in charge is not always all it’s chalked up to be.  In fact, sometimes, it downright sucks.

It takes a fighter to lead the hoard. That’s a part of what makes a leader a leader.  Don’t forget that it is that inner fight and strength within you that keep not just you going, but others too.  Even on the hard days.

You stand up for yourself. You stand up for others.  You stand up for what is right, and what needs to be done… even in the face of adversity. It’s an important, integral part of who you are.

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for February 27th : No Brainer Day – What is something simple and easy you can do for yourself?

Reading Summary: Get your unlisted work listed and on display (Eight of Pentacles).

Remember that an appointment with your shrink (Queen of Swords) can help you in finding contentment and stability (Ten of Pentacles) when frustration has you wanting to run (Eight of Cups).

Take Away: Confession…. I have a lot of jewelry pieces that are done, but not yet listed in my online shops. Like… a lot.  Primarily?  It’s because for me, the listing process is the most boring and tedious part of the entire process.  So I get the pieces made, I get them photographed, I even get the photos prepped and ready to go online… and then I stall out because of the listing process.   The Eight of Pentacles in this reading is about that.  It’s about getting my work seen rather than just done.

And… I’m overdue for a shrink appointment.  I was considering skipping it, but the argument here in the cards that she helps me to find stability and contentment is a good one.  I have to make a call and get an appointment set up.

Even though I went north, I slept a lot today.  In the truck.  In the car. On Ms B’s couch.  A lot.
