Today’s card is the Lymph Nodes card combined with the affirmation “Please take time to recharge yourself today.”
Right. SO… this morning, a friend of mine woke up blind in one eye. As in, went to bed with a migraine, and woke up with one eye completely not working. Not even registering a bit of light. Nada. Nothing.
As you might imagine, today was filled with medical professionals, waiting rooms, tests, and leading my friend around by the hand all day, guiding them into chairs, etc. (At the end of the day? Still no answers, incidentally, if you were wondering. They’ve been referred to a specialist in ophthalmological neurology.)
The message in today’s cards? Even when you’re putting your all into fighting the good fight? You have to rest sometimes. Make sure, that even in times fraught with stress and too much to do in too little time, that every once in a while you step away and take a few breaths, even if you have to do it while sitting on the can in the restroom somewhere. Those occasional few minutes and deep breaths are important.

Today’s card is the Wild Oat card combined with the affirmation “Some days are awful, but they always end.”
Yesterday was yesterday. Today is a new day. Don’t let the shit show and stress of yesterday make today’s plans less enjoyable or your confidence crumble.
Although it’s possible not a single thing got resolved yesterday? It doesn’t mean the stress and mess has to carry into today. Sometimes, you have to leave your stress in the past, take a breath, and move forward. The Wild Oat card says to be open to all that will manifest, acknowledge that what you put into the world is an expression of empowerment, and follow your unique path forward while trusting that you’re headed in the right direction.
In other words? Don’t let yesterday’s shit show make you lose faith in yourself. Don’t worry that you might end up swerving off course as a result of what’s going on. Just breath, let go of the anxiety, and trust that it will work out if you just remain true to yourself and who you are.

Today’s card is the Overwhelmed card combined with the affirmation “To value wisdom over ignorance is the path to happiness.”
Confession. I hate politics. I mean… really hate them. I hate the polarization. I hate the social sheep mentality. I hate how it brings out the worst in people, most especially their willful ignorance and how the media feeds on pushing that willful ignorance further and further in society.
With the US Pres election coming up combined with the fact that I spend a lot of time in doctors offices listening to a wide range of chatting among those sitting in waiting rooms? I get to see just how willfully ignorant people are.
They hear what they want to hear, they believe what they want to believe, then “know the facts” that they want to know. None of them are happy. They bitch and moan, gripe and snipe and complain. They assign blame, personality traits (and flaws), and even actions to people they don’t know, have never met, and will never meet.
Today’s cards echo my feelings on all of those. Overwhelm, and a wish that we could have a way to receive “just facts” rather than conjecture. A way to weed out the bullshit and emotion in order to see things clearly. For me? That means sometimes I need to slip my earbuds in and tune them out, because it’s the only way to let go of the overwhelm listening to them creates and allow calm to take its place… even if just for a bit at a time. That little bit at a time makes things better.
