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.

Receiving is as Sacred as Giving

oday is about the 6 of Pentacles, the card of healthy giving and receiving. (Lightseers Tarot version in image above)

Many of us want to give and give and give, but then struggle to welcome in the gifts others share.

Imagine you hand someone a present, and they reject it. Even if politely said, it stings a bit.

You may know their refusal is coming from a place of their own guilt or insecurity, but the energy you are emitting out in not being taken in.
