Today’s meditation was skipped, although I did a ton of breathing exercises today.

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of juggling responsibilities, work/life balance, and prioritization.

The Two of Pentacles is then combined with an affirmation from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards for Kids, which says, “Believe in yourself. You can achieve whatever it is that you want, if you truly believe in yourself.”

Find your own sense of balance before diving into the rest.

When you believe in yourself, anything is possible. The key here is believing in yourself, though. It’s in believing that you can do the work and achieve the results of that work.

I feel like there’s too many people out there these days trying to “manifest” the results they want without being willing to put in the work to get there. That’s not how this works, though. You can’t just want something bad enough and it’ll fall in your lap.

That includes working on ourselves.

The message in today’s Two of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that there’s more to manifestation than wishful thinking. If you truly want something, you have to act on it. Nothing worth having is going to fall into your lap without you putting in the actual work to get it.

#DiscordTarotholicsMay2026 Challenge

Prompt for May 28th and 29th

How can you better express loving care for yourself today?

Hermit atop The Magician; Pigeon

Consider your alone time a tool used to help you recover from time with others, and prepare you for the next.

Instead of hiding or avoidance, use this time to constructively prepare yourself as well as recover from what came before.

This time shouldn’t make you feel guilty, but rather it’s a form of empowerment over your own needs. Those that love you will understand this.

How can you better express to loved ones how you feel about them?

Queen of Swords and Seagull

Remember that having sharp edges doesn’t mean you can’t also be nurturing to those you care about. It just means you’re careful not to cut so deeply when you’re with them.

@ambitiouslyalexa May Journal Prompts

Prompt for May 28th : Where I’ve been rushing past something good

Reading Summary: You’re so darned worried (Nine of Swords tipped right) that you’re going to lose what you have (Seven of Swords atop Four of Pentacles) that you’re not enjoying it to its fullest while you have it (The Fool).

Take Away: Work on taking more joy in the journey, rather than always either focusing on the negative or on the next goal.

Too often, you ignore the good stuff in order to plow forward and succeed more, build a stronger foundation, or shore up your resources. You do this so often that you forget to have fun and enjoy what you have in the here and now.

These cards encourage letting go of that need to always be plowing forward toward your next goal or a greater sense of stability, and instead take time to enjoy what you have while you have it. Right now in the moment… not later.

Other elements included in this reading:
Bird Figurine for Fostering Hope, Positivity, and Renewal
Citrine for Energy Lift (easing the weight of heavy energies)
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

DECK USED: WYSPELL TAROT

I took it easy today and had myself a bit of a “lazy day” to celebrate having finished my taxes.
