"TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS!" ~ Tarot-Healing Message for Oct 2-8

You are capable and powerful.  You are able to have and achieve whatever you truly desire.  Focus your desire and be willing to take action.  There is great vitality in your desire.  This week the message is about how you are able to create your world around you through the use of your own personal power.  Your power is not only in your desiring, but in your DOING.  What do you want?  Focus your power and manifest it!  Do what needs to be done!  Take care of business!  No one can do it for you.  It is up to you to focus and create your world as you would like it.  If you are having trouble feeling your innate personal power, remember all of the things you have manifested in your past and the steps you took to get there.  This time is no different.  Allow yourself to be powerful.  You may have to set new personal boundaries in your life and relationships in order to focus your energy and create what you desire.  Respect yourself and do what needs to be done.  The power is yours.

SAGE INSIGHT ~ "Ready? Set? GO!!!"

This is CHANGE...

This is LIFE...

Life is constantly throwing "unexpected" people and events into the mix.

And how will I choose to relate to these little and big surprises?

I so often respond with annoyance, impatience, frustration, exasperation-to the point where I can actually laugh at myself, now! I laugh because I see the absurdity of it-of constantly getting disturbed because life is being itself!!!

People want me...

Life wants me...

I want people and life!

We are all one.

I am going to add to my daily acknowledgement of GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION a new embrace of the part of life that is the SURPRISING...the UNEXPECTED...the BUMP in the road...the UNPLANNED...the DISTRACTION...

Are these things annoyances?

Or are they opportunities to experience BEAUTY and CONNECTION?

Is that traffic jam something that shouldn't be there?

Or is it a gift in some way? Or can it be seen as a gift and turned into a moment of BEAUTY and CONNECTION?

Truly there is nothing that should not be happening...that should not be there-if it is there, it belongs there.

If it is there, I CHOSE IT. On some level, I CHOSE TO BE A PART OF IT.

For example, I chose to be in Nashville and to drive a car again daily. Therefor, I also chose the traffic. I chose to work for my employers, knowing their hours of operation. So, I also chose the traffic.  I choose the same route to work every morning...

It goes on and on...

Wow!

I see it!  I see it!

I see the BEAUTY and the ONENESS. I see how I am creating through my decisions and choices, and how everything that shows up in my reality is "put there" by me.

So, can I be in the moment of experience with these little "surprises" and say, "I CHOOSE THIS"?

I choose this.  It belongs here.

How will I respond to the unexpected?

I may not have chosen the details because others are choosing, too...but I chose the BIG PICTURE...I chose the parameters...I chose the "game," the environment, etc., that would put me in probable paths of all others and all the details...

I chose life.

Yes, I feel a little silly, now, at my life-tantrums...but I suppose some of us do like to be dramatic!

As long as I know the truth...as long as I can hold this larger truth steady...then I can RESPOND to life and CHOOSE how I will relate to what shows up in my reality from day-to-day...

And I want to relate with humor, with love, with wisdom.

I want to cultivate an appreciation for the unexpected, for the unplanned, for the surprises in life.

Ok, this will be fun! Life will never be at a loss for surprising me and not meeting my expectations!!!

Ready?  Set?  Here we go!!!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TAROT HEALING MESSAGE FOR MAY 15-21

You are never at a standstill, though at times you may appear to be.  The only constant is CHANGE, and you are either contracting or expanding.  You are either fearing or loving.  Up and down, sadness and joy, suffering and freedom.  The circumstances of our lives continually change, and how will we react?  HOLD TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL OF LIFE.  FIND YOUR CALM ESSENCE AT THE CENTER.  See how all experience is neutral until you give it meaning.  This will be a week of change, as you experience the old giving way to the new.  It may seem as if you are carried along on wings of fate.  It may seem that you are flowing down a powerful river with no control.  Your fortunes are shifting.  Why do you worry so?  YOU ARE A CREATIVE BEING.  You can attract what you need.  You can ask for help.  You can intuit your next steps.  See that where you are now-you have been before...and you will be here again.  Take a deep breath, now.  Let yourself go into the center of your BEING and BECOMING.  Rest here for a few moments and feel the contractions and expansions taking place.  Now, affirm that you will be present and ALIVE this week, no matter which way the pendulum of fortune appears to be swinging.  You will be BIGGER than your circumstances.  You will use all experience to BECOME MORE OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE.
