The Power of Persistence
This week, I absorbed a fantastic 5-hour documentary about one of my favorite directors, called Mr. Scorsese, made by Rebecca Miller.
Whether you enjoy his films or not, you likely know his name. (Fair warning: these movies are often violent and not for everyone).
I have seen 17 of his films and enjoyed all but one (Skip The Irishman). My favorites are Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Departed, Shutter Island, Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon.
What feels relevant to share is how struck I was by the trajectory of his career. With so much success over five decades, I presumed he could rely consistently on being a wanted talent.

Movies as a Tool for Transformation
Cinema is my first true love.
I was that kid in class who always had a movie reference for any topic.
I even procured a film degree and worked in the industry in NYC for three years. I found it was not so easy to find a creative role, which tarot offers me in, well, spades (and cups and wands and pentacles).
Both tarot and movies shine a light on collective unconscious archetypes in similar ways, and we can use both as a tool for self-awareness and growth.
