Free Sci-Fi Oracle and Tarot Reading
Spring is a great time to smell the roses and consider how to reset your system.
Dive into a cleanse of your home, your health, or your workflow to make the most of this Aries season.
If you crave direction in the best way to clear and restart, come in this month for a tarot reading.
It Takes a Village
As a small business owner, it has been a humbling experience to acknowledge what I’m just not that good at.
A few weeks ago I sat with an old friend of mine, Gray Ayer, who is a web developer and small business digital marketing consultant.
After only a simple question, he quickly saw how many tools I was missing for SEO analysis purposes and set me up. He helped me understand what a website can do in ways I had not considered.
It opened my mind to realize how much more I need other people to grow as a business.
Deepen Old Connections
This past week I enjoyed a small family reunion with my aunt and cousin who I grew up with. It had been seven years since I had seen them. I can’t recall the last time we spent more than a day together, despite my cousin and I growing up like sisters.
During our visit, my closest friend from my two years living in Taiwan also reached out. We lost touch since I visited her in 2008 in Montreal, Quebec.
All this got me thinking about levels of connection.
Know Your Best BS (Belief Systems)
We begin with the Judgment Card, which is about finding your own clarified truth.
I love that the image presented in this deck reflects the clash of society’s norms versus our inner acceptance of our own personal meat suit. Tis the season to feel anxious about fitting into last Summer’s fashions.
Let’s take that as a metaphor of the high expectations we feel pressured to live up to. How can you nourish yourself in a 4 of Swords Spa Day?
Find some time to rest mentally and listen to the stories you are sewing with rotten thread.
With Mercury in retrograde this month, it’s time to reflect on the defeating tales that spoil our centered confidence and certainty.
Intuition Saved My Life
I am fully back from my trip and meeting for in-person readings again.
It was a nice vacation, more relaxing than adventurous, which is what I needed.
Sometimes the trip brings the unexpected adventure to you though.
The Dance of Soft and Strong
A new friend recently shared how she sees herself as rigid and wants to shift that in herself.
This inspired a lot of questions in me about where the sweet spot is between holding your values while also being malleable and flexible.
Keep in mind that perfection around this vast subject is nearly impossible. You don’t need to have it all figured out. That in itself would be too rigid.
Let this be a ponder on your own balance with the questions provided.
Wider World Views Bring Peace
Currently, I am visiting my friend Anna this month as she moves her family to Panama (view from her home pictured above).
Stepping out of the country offers me a shift in energy that reminds me of how vast the world is, and opens my sense of possibility in a subtle yet powerful way.
With the incredible technology of the world wide web, you don’t need to travel abroad to engage with international mindsets.
Free Reading for February
Announcement: I left this week for Panama to stay a few weeks with my friend Anna who I’ve known for 25 years. I will have some times opening during my trip (on East Coast time), and more will open up as I know my schedule better.
I’ll continue to send these emails each Friday. I’m curious to see what inspiration might happen with some much needed downtime.
Please note that you can still hire a fantastic tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers while I am away! I’m happy to make arrangements to bring quality entertainment at your winter party!
Satisfying with Nourishment
Over the weekend, I allowed myself deep rest after the high cortisol week.
My therapist pointed out that in order to rest we must also nourish. This is based in the Sensitivity Cycle by Hakomi therapist Ron Kurtz.
This theory states that we have 4 parts to a full experience:
Insight: Awareness that I want or need something
Response and Action: I do something about it
Satisfaction: I experience nourishment from fulfillment
Completion and Rest: I release seeking and relax
Each of us can have barriers to one of these fields that weakens the cycle. For me, that is in the area of allowing nourishment, which also blocks my ability to fully rest.
Today I ask, what is nourishing for you? How do you sense your own satisfaction with a task?
For me, feeling relaxed is more about shifting my energy positively rather than laying around.
Just Keep Swimming
This has been a hard week for me, and the only way to write this today is to share the cycles I swirl through and hope that someone out here will benefit from thinking about their own with compassion or humor.
In short, the privilege to poop at home is about to cost a large portion of my savings, and might require me to get a loan. (Please send good vibes that the latter is not required).
With all that is happening in the world, I can roll with the presumption that you are also mucking through the mire of poo management in your own ways.
The only way out is through. So let’s collectively consider our own natural cycles around stress response and offer ourselves compassion and forgiveness in our current state of being.
