Carolyn Day

It always amazes me when I draw a card two days in a row.  It  definitely gets my attention.  A lot of times when I look at a card drawn on a subsequent day it usually has a different feeling than the previous day.  Yesterday I saw this fairy's missing wings and wondered at her sacrifice for success.  Today I just see her riding in on her success.  Do I try to down play my successes and achievement worried that others may see me riding on my 'High Horse'?  It's a thought

The accompanying  booklet ~ "Congratulations on a job well done! This isn't a time to be shy or humble. Even if you normally don't seek attention, it's healthy to bask in glow of your accomplishments...Wonderful news is on its way." 
Well okay.  Not getting anything else I am going with the booklet and authors interpretation.  Well good for me. Yay Carolyn, you go get 'em girl.  Sometimes it is difficult to celebrate my accomplishments but if I don't appreciate myself, who else will?  So today March 31, 2016 is officially Carolyn Day!

Whoaa

This card of everyday success is a bit of an enigma for me.  Dressed in all her finery, she is riding high atop of her unicorn in proclamation of her success and accomplishment.   But at what cost?  She seems to be missing her wings.  Did she get her wings clipped or did she give them up for her success?   We all want to be heros in are own stories, but as time goes on, heroes are forgotten. Is winning at all costs really worth it?

Most days I do pretty well all things considered.  There are times though that I give a little too much of myself to clients, customers, friends, and family.  And that is okay because it is what I do, but when I bend a little too far and then don't get the accolades and thank yous I think I deserve, I bemoan those ungrateful so and so's.  So for today I best consider that request for me to go above and beyond, most likely my fairy spirit wings will get clipped.  And since I am restricting my wheat intake, there won't be any cake to soothe my hurt feelings.

Checklist

The orbs that this Fairy is juggling appear more to me like thought bubbles, the kind we see over pictures with thoughts that the character is thinking.  I am like this a lot of times.  So many things grab my attention it can be difficult to focus on just one or two things.  Then with this scattering of thoughts nothing much gets done or what I do manage to do is a bit sloppy. 

So for my card of advice today, just keep it simple.  Work on the couple of the most important or pressing items on my to do list and let those other task float along, I will get to them.  I have found that the things that really need to get done, get done and rest will wait till I get to them.
Easy Peasy.

One foot in front of the other

The Fool, or in this deck the Dreamer, advises me that it is never too late to start something new.  The Fool reminds me the journey is never ending and sends a clear message to me "go ahead start something new."   This fairy starting out has bundled her experiences up and takes them along with her. She has her faithful companions along with her, the dog to remind her there is always someone or something to love and who loves us, and the cardinal reminding me that there are those who are unseen that accompany me throughout my life, family members who have passed and angels. 

The only thing that doesn't work for me are those boots this fairy has chosen to wear on her journey. Sometimes I make mistakes and I don't choose correctly, but what the heck, as long I keep going forth, questing, searching for my place in the scheme of things, that's the adventure.  I have been reading this book the last few days, WHEAT BELLY, and today I am starting a change of menu.  Wheat elimination.  That's my something new and of course I waited until after all the Easter celebrations.  And instead of boots, it will be tennis shoes to get back out there on doing daily walks around the neighborhoods and parks.

More Rabbits

After posting all those cards with hares/rabbits on them I decided to do my own rendition.  Here's my rabbit.  Orange, a nod to the rabbit in the Queen of Pentacles in the RWS deck.  There is a place not far from home called the Concrete Lady and there you can find just about anything concrete.  So I got my rabbit and did my painting yesterday.  I had lots of paint at home from painting rocks.  Rock painting was my therapy to help me work through my PTSD after tornado trauma.  I was never that clever with drawing and painting but rock painting was pretty easy.  Then I found while surfing the web ~ The Abundant Love Project.  People around the world painting rocks with the message "you are loved."  So I started doing that.  And now I place either very simple renditions or sometimes a rock with many layers of paint and design of 'You are Loved' around town. A few here and there. I enjoy it and I hope the rocks always are located by someone who needs the message.

And here is the other rabbit and the last of them for Easter.  From the DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE, the Hare.  Definitely a compelling picture.  So much going on in this scene.  This 'Mad March Hare' looks back at us and seemingly asks, "are you ready for an adventure."  Maybe this is the picture that inspired Lewis Carrolls ALICE IN WONDERLAND.  Who knows? 
I am off on my Easter Day Celebrations.  I am sure there is an Easter Egg Hunt somewhere today.  I too shall join in the adventure.
HAPPY EASTER

Mad as a March Hare

Its Easter Time.  Well actually tomorrow.  The neighborhoods, parks, and church grounds will be filled with the time honored ~ Easter Egg Hunt.  Today I am thinking about the Easter Bunny.

Today I just gathered some cards that had rabbits on them.  An eclectic collection .  The Queen of Pentacles has been my Significator card when using the RWS deck; maybe today I will go get a stone rabbit at garden center and paint it orange and place in front yard.  I really like the Prince of Spring  riding forth on his bunny.

For lunch today maybe some egg salad. 

Light

'LOVE in Light ~ Ah, light flows like water, surrounds me with inspiration, illuminates my path, and keeps me attentive. It is endless, just like love. It swirls ad waves in the timeless whispers of protection and caring. I lift my arms to the magical light. Moon essence softens me. I breathe in earth's gentleness and the universe's promises and soak in the comfort of belonging. Light infuses my internal seeing so I can pursue my dreams and goals with confidence. Love infuses my heart so I can make a difference in the world. I am the beacon that illuminates and inspires.'

Above quote by Sue Lion on the back of card. eartheart wisdom
Life from this perspective would be the life I would and do wish for others and myself.  I know that there has to be balance in the world so we are presented with the darkness so we can appreciate the Light.  One day hopefully we will all realize that we are the Light. I like to look at the lights in the night sky.  Right now I am particularly enchanted when I get to watch the steady pinpoint of light as the Space Station circles the Earth. NASA posts the times and starting next week there will be a couple of nights when the pinpoint of light will be seen for 5 or 6 minutes.  Sunlight reflected on the Station allows me/us to view this spectacular feat of engineering.  SPACE THE FINAL FRONTIER quoted from STAR TREK.  I actually think the final frontier is with us, but I always loved and still do, watching STAR TREK.
