Today’s card is the Wheel of Fortune combined with the affirmation “You are out here trying, and that is absolutely good enough.”
Confession. I am a control freak. Yes. I am. And the absolute frustration that comes with -not- being able to control some aspects of my life that I want to is one of the hardest things in life for me to accept. Emotions. Triggers. Flashbacks. Unexpected roadblocks and obstacles. Unpleasant surprises.
These things drive me absolutely crazy because I cannot control them even in instances when they may not involve -anyone- other than myself. I don’t want to control others, I just want to control myself and my life to a degree that is (in rational moments, I admit) not just unreasonable to expect but actually impossible to accomplish.
Today’s affirmation and card combo is a reminder that you can’t control the world around you, only yourself and your reactions to it. You can’t control your emotions, only how you react to them and what you -do- with them. Do you let it set you off kilter? Or do you go along for the ride with grace? It’s a choice.
I’m personally not very good at gracefully going along with the flow in these instances. But… I’m trying, and that has to be enough.

Today’s cards are the Deer card combined with the Bear Hugs hugs card.
The message in today’s cards is that life cannot be work work work all the time. Everyone needs rest to function… even you. Don’t feel guilty for taking time to yourself when you need it. When you do so, you show that you are giving yourself the same kind of love and understanding, balance and stability that you provide so easily for others.

Today’s card is the Ace of Wands combined with the affirmation “You’re still a good you, even while you’re not feeling like yourself.”
Honestly? I’ve been dead tired today. I only managed to get about two hours sleep last night, and it clearly wasn’t enough. Between that and the drive north, it’s been a rough one for me.
Today’s cards are a reminder that even on rough days, your passions and inspirations remain the same. You like the same foods, you’re interested in the same things, and you have the same passions. The cards encourage tapping into those enthusiasms during these times when you aren’t at your best, and allowing them to help ground you in yourself so that you don’t feel as much adrift from yourself and who you are as such days can cause you to feel.
