The @GlitterbyInk #JulyJoy25 Challenge
Celebration of Joy Prompt for July 20 : Celebration
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of hard work, expertise through practice, honing a skill, quality craftsmanship, handicrafts, and manifestations through skill and hard work. The card is often the embodiment of the “practice makes perfect” adage.

How often do you actually celebrate when you finish a task or accomplish something you’ve set up to do, learn, or master? How often do you even acknowledge these things before you’re moving on to focus on the next goal post?

Becoming genuinely good at something takes time and practice. It takes determination to not just develop a skill, but then hone that skill into something special and uniquely yours.

Along the way on this journey, there are many wins and accomplishments. Today’s message ask us if we are celebrating these moments, or are we allowing them to pass us by and regarding them as inconsequential.

Here in today’s message we are encouraged to do the latter. Celebrate your accomplishments… even the small ones. Celebration doesn’t mean that the journey is over, only that you’re having fun along the way and appreciate the process.

Prompt for July 20 : Do Spread 3

What have I forgotten that needs to be brought with me upon my path?

Okra – You have been slack in your ancestor work of late, especially in the research side of things. You hold within you that which was carried forward from your ancestors. Don’t let their hidden knowledge from the past be lost.

How can I begin to incorporate that back into my life?

Cauliflower – Put in the work. This journey requires its own space, uncrowded by other encroaching responsibilities. It’s okay that it takes a long time, that’s how it’s meant to be.

Where am I on my path at this time?

Radish – Now is a time of sorting and purging. Take your time, and think things through rather than just winging it. Doing too much at once can end up leading to anxiety.

What should I prepare to harvest at the end of the month?

Ginger – Do the easy stuff first. Don’t lose sight of the fact that your down time is important. Abundance isn’t always the product of hard work; sometimes it’s just that time and the universe is being generous with her gifts.

How do I begin those preparations?

Tomato – Bask in these summer months and what they provide that you desperately need. Don’t allow worry or guilt eat at you, but instead percolate on why you feel guilty, then wash it away to continue enjoying those benefits the summer provides.
