@the_mystic_star May Tarot Challenge Prompt
I am using this challenge’s prompts as affirmation prompts for my daily card. Not exactly the intended process for the challenge, but I want to give credit for where I’m getting these affirmation prompts from.

Affirmation Prompt for May 4th: Wisdom

Six of Pentacles (Daffodils and Oriental Poppy) – Balance requires a give and take.

I am reading a mystery/thriller right now where a gardening club of 58 old ladies grew poppy flowers in their gardens with seeds bought from a garden center, and then started making tea from them, only to discover… they all end up addicted to opium.  By mistake, of course. It was a sideline in the actual storyline, but today’s card brings this to mind.

These little old ladies all went in together to turn themselves in, and the police didn’t know what to do with them all.

Sometimes? You just have to forgive.  You just have to be generous enough to let something go, because that’s what’s best for you… and that’s what’s best for them too.  Note that I said sometimes. Still… generosity is important. It keeps things in balance.  So sometimes?  That forgiveness is exactly what’s needed.

#DiscordTarotholicsMay2024 Challenge Prompt
Prompt for May 5th: Do Spread 1

What positive quality do I have that others admire?

Page of Cups atop Wheel of Fortune – You are always open to learning new ways of doing things, and have a habit of collecting that knowledge to help make though good times and bad.

What positive quality do I wish I had that I admire in others?

Six of Wands – The seemingly effortless ability to make others happy and enjoy doing it. You do not thrive on people pleasing, and you are under the impression it would be less of a burden if you did.

What step(s) can I take now to work toward developing that quality in myself?

Four of Pentacles– No steps. No movement. This is not meant to be your path. Stability and security are where your focus needs to lie, and you can’t have those while pinning your sense of well-being and success on others and their opinions.

What step(s) can I take to make the positive qualities I already have shine brightly?

Queen of Pentacles – Make sure that you nurture both yourself and others from a place of grounded stability. If you don’t feel stable?  Then it’s time to focus on re-rooting into your foundation, for it’s only when you are stable that quality care can be offered.

This post is a catch-up post, and I’m not entirely sure what my self-kindness was for the day.
