Cloud Spotting
Little bunny
in the sky
looking down
on green fields
as clouds pass
on by
what do you think
of what you see
would you
come down to frolic
in the green sea?
or is the view better
from above
where you can see
all your bretheren
hop along?
A card to represent what my inner child needs.
Gift (Bouquet) – Your inner child needs attention, acknowledgement, and appreciation. Validation can go a long way in connecting more strongly with your inner child, instead of trying to push them off in a corner to be ignored.
A card to represent what future me needs.
Child – More fun and play, more innocence and naivete. More frivolity and fun. You need to learn how to cut loose a little more when the opportunity presents itself. Stop being so serious all the time.
A card to represent what present me needs.
Christmas Market (Garden) – Social connections that can help support you now in your time of need, just as you support them throughout the rest of the year. Draw them in and encourage them to help you… turn it into something besides just work, but also a social opportunity.
What does my higher self request I take time to do?
Candle (Coffin) – Rest… breathe. Allow things to move at their own pace, and let go of those things that are coming to an end instead of grasping on desperately and refusing to let go.
What is my self care mantra?
Cloud – Uncertainty is temporary. Fears are temporary. Darkness is temporary. Everything is temporary.

Today’s draw are the Whip and Sun cards from the Simply Christmas Lenormand. There are many combinations of these cards that speak of a lack of sincerity ruining a good thing (in many different variations and ways of saying this, but what I see in these cards today is a need to “crack the whip” in order to drive oneself towards success.
In other words… The more you get done today, the less you’ll have to do tomorrow.
Now is not the time to slack off or fool yourself into thinking that by not plowing forward with determination that everything will still work out fine. It won’t. Not right now. Stay on top of things and you will continue to, in fact, stay on top.
I followed the cards advice, and that right there is my self kindness. Although I wasn’t really feeling like work today, I did not put things off until tomorrow, which means tomorrow’s work will be that much less stressful and difficult to keep up on.
Good Morning
Sparks of pain
flicker along senses
and speak
of infammation
out of control
as eyes open
to a new day
and breath
is caught
then let out slow
as senses flare
red hot
and determination
alone
spurs movement
in a search
for relief

Today’s draw is the Eight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of alacrity, action, speed, movement, and fast paced events or change.
The imagery on this card makes me think of Paul Revere, even though I’m aware that it’s actually an illustration of the historical Pony Express from the late 1800s.
It’s fitting that this is the card that shows up today, as today was a trip north, and it was snowing a LOT up there. I also could not stay long this time around due to the amount of orders coming in, so it was more of a quick trip up, a quick stop over, and then a race back home to work on orders again.
The message in today’s card is about taking care to be careful on my trip up north and back. It’s snowy and slick, and if you rush too much? It could be very dangerous. Be careful.
I took a nap today. A long one. Sleep has not been something I’ve had a lot of time for over the past few days, but I had a nice long nap today after I got home from my run to the post office.
Frazzled
No comb
can untangle
the frantic mess
of the mind
when time presses
in close
and steals
the breath
as deadlines near
while hair
that would do
a mad scientist
proud
is an echo
of the thoughts
flitting about
beneath
