Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyCalm sessions from the @CalmApp. The session was about the benefits of inviting humor into your life.

The @GlitterbyInk #AprilFinds25 Challenge
Lost and Found Prompt for April 1 : Curiosity

Today’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the first active step in a journey, progress towards a goal, and the seizing of opportunities.

Combined with the Lost and Found prompt for today, the message in today’s card is about how we choose the journeys that we decide to explore, and an encouragement to allow curiosity to take the wheel once in a while.

Remember that life is more interesting when your curiosity is engaged. Not all choices and paths can be chosen by reason and responsibility. Sometimes, you have to go with what sparks your interest and draws you in, even if… or maybe especially when you don’t know where it’s going to lead you.  In these cases?  The mystery can be half the fun.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2025 Challenge
Prompt for April 1 : Do the 2nd Quarter Spread

Year Ahead Theme : Temperance

Moderation is the name of the game this year.  Take care not to move too fast or go overboard in the grand scheme of things. Remember that even things that are healthy and good for you can turn bad if taken in excess.

Theme for April : Eight of Wands

Look at how the cattails bend in the breeze, always adapting to move teeth the flow. The stalks do not break, and the roots stay anchored deep as wild energies toss them to and fro. Take the lesson of the cattails to heart and make sure you bend when you need to  in order to adapt instead of breaking.

Focus / Advice for April : Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis)

Movement and change are needed. Take these lessons to heart and foster faith within yourself that all will work out in the end. Efforts to stay positive will help you adapt more easily when needed.

Ray of Hope for April : I have the power to make my all dreams come true.

Don’t let difficulty discourage you. Adapt to the changes that come in the present, but stay on track for your long-term goals. In the long run, adaptation doesn’t have to steer you off course.

Theme for May : Judgement

Consider if the things you are doing in the present are in alignment with furthering the goal of who you want to become in the future. Are those that you surround yourself in helping you to meet those goals? Or are they holding you back from the growth you seek to achieve?

Focus / Advice for May : Rumduol (Sphaerocoryne lefevrei)

Trust that your judgment concerning others and their character is not as bad as it sometimes feels like it is. Work on stepping out of your shell a bit more in order to connect more meaningfully with others this month.

Ray of Hope for May : I am a creative thinker and I find great solutions.

There is power in brainstorming with others.  You offer perspectives others might not consider, and they do the same for you. Remember that together, your ability to problem solve and dip into thinking outside the box is far more powerful than on your own.

Theme for June : Ten of Pentacles

You have a lot going for you this month, and it’s a perfect time to spend some time really acknowledging and appreciating how far you’ve come and how comfortable you have become in sharing the stability that you’ve developed for yourself with your loved ones.

Focus / Advice for June : Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis)

Count your blessings and trust that you’re on the right track.  Wallow in the good stuff a little bit while there’s time and opportunity to do so, and it will help to give you a fresh, happy glow that not only reflects in your countenance, but also in  your view of the world around you.

Ray of Hope for June : I am grateful for all the wonderful things in my life, big and small.

Make sure that you are looking at things in a positive light, enjoying your accomplishments rather than disregarding them as insignificant. Even small accomplishments have value.
