Today’s Tarot: Two of Rods. (I always love this card!) Bold, innovative, confident. To a vegetarian, the phrase, the world is your oyster might mean something different than to someone who eats meat. Having said that, I take it to mean pleasure, joy, success – are yours for the taking. And you can find hidden…
Today’s Tarot: Justice. Fairness, balance, ethics. Yegads, sometimes it can be downright challenging to do the right thing or at least stay aware of what the right thing is to you. This reminds me of a short story. I was in an ethics training and I heard the following two sentences once right after the…
In “Life Elements” we discuss the transformative nature of Fire. Fire changes everything it touches. It is an alchemy by which one state of matter will change into another. If you want to cultivate the ability to enact change in your life, meditate on Fire’s evolutionary nature. In order to begin one thing, you must…
Today’s Tarot: Wheel of Fortune. Chance. Luck. Destiny Ah, Lady Luck, you can either be salvation or you can be utter destruction and relying on you to be either at any one time is definitely a fool’s game. Today, ride your lucky streak but don’t ever depend on it. If you were a gambler, I’d…
Today’s Tarot: Three of Pentacles. Work. Accomplish. Achieve. This card is about the business of doing business. You want something to happen? Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves and go make it happen. It won’t just come to you because you wish for it (sadly, though wouldn’t that be cool). Intent really…
Today’s Tarot: The Empress Nourishment, abundance, creativity. The Empress represents the mothering aspect. While this can be biological, it doesn’t have to be. The card asks us to nourish that which we love: our dreams, our children, our friends and family, or ourselves. Today, think about what you care about and then infuse it with…
Today’s Tarot: Six of Swords. Lessons learned. Recovering. Seeing with fresh eyes. Here’s the thing about this card. In many ways, it’s a call to action. Sure, we can sit still and be despondent over that which didn’t happen, or that which we didn’t get. Or, we can look at it like an opportunity to…
Today’s Tarot: Two of Cups. Attraction, Union, Optimism. If in the romance aspect of life, this is a time to follow that which attracts you. Acknowledge that the heart wants what it wants. Better to go for it, risk rejection, and know once and for all than to sit in darkness and curse the light….
Here are some words of wisdom from my dear friend John. I don’t know what brought this moment back to me, but it did change my perspective on life, the universe, and everything and New Year’s Eve seems like the perfect time to remember. Back in college, four of us went on a ski weekend…
Saw Les Mis today. I fully expect Ms. Hathaway and Mr. Jackman to stand on stage and accept their Academy Awards (her in support and him for leading actor). They both did a terrific job. Hathaway especially blew me away. She has an expressive face and she used it so well to show us Fantine’s…
