Graceful Transitions

Christmas Spirit TarotToday’s draw is the Death card, which is traditionally a representation of gradual organic changes, loss, transitions, and letting go.

The Angel in todays card is here to remind us that not everything is worth crying over when it’s lost. We go through changers and transitions every single day, some of the we go through far more gracefully than others.

Why is that? What makes some changes, transitions, and losses so much harder to deal with than others?

Today’s card asks us to lol at how we deal with change, what makes some changes easier to deal with than others, and how we can make those changes we are less than graceful with a bit easier.

Pixie's Whisper Tarot Christmas EditionPage of Coins – Turn over a new leaf financially by working to see your scarcity issues as something to learn from, rather than a panic inducing theme in your life.

Four of Cups – Actually manage to sustain a positive attitude and optimism, instead of letting pessimism propagate off itself and multiply. Your negative inner narrative has a habit of breeding like bunnies if you let it.

Three of Cups – Look forward to and enjoy time with others, instead of seeing it as a chore or something to dread. You’ve had enough positive experiences with this over the past year to help you in this endeavor.

I soaked in the bath again today. A glorious three whole hours. The bath tub here is so comfortable… it doesn’t look like it would be, but it is.

Difficult Conversations and White Elephants

Merry Christmas LenormandToday’s draw is the House and Mountain cards from the Merry Christmas Lenormand.

Over the past few days, I’ve been trying to talk out a difficult situation with someone I consider to be a part of my “online family”. It’s not been an easy discussion, and sometimes it feels like it’s not going all that well. Or… going well at all.

These cards are a reminder that difficult does not mean impossible, and that it’s time to deal with the elephants in the room that we’ve all been trying to push into the corner and ignore for a long time… no matter how difficult it becomes, or how much it sucks.

These cards also pose a question. What discussions with family and friends are you avoiding? What ugly or uncomfortable business with those close to you needs dealt with to clear the air?

Think Before Stepping Up

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Pixie's Whisper Tarot Chritsmas EditionToday’s draw is the Five of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of tests, trials, conflict, and struggle in the area of one’s drive, will power, passions, determination, values, principles, and inner spark. This often translates into the willful butting heads with another, neither able to pause and take in the perspective that the other is coming from.

What stands out to me in the imagery of this card is the fact that most of the wands are up in the air instead of being wielded by the figures below.  What this says to me is that there are some people that strive to get their point across… and then others that follow along just to support those willful few.  They get so involved that they forget it’s not their fight and they have no skin in the game.

Today’s card is a reminder that when you get worked up about something or interject yourself into a disagreement, that we take a moment to pause and look at why we are worked up… or why we are getting involved.  Is it really worth the conflict?  Or is it something we should step aside from instead?

I took a little time away from filling orders to do some gluing.  I know it’s not really stepping away from work, but it did give me a break from the stress of time crunching and worrying.
