A rather odd thing...

A friend of mine suggested doing a tarot reading... Not that I am a "believer" in tarot but it does seem to have interesting readings at times. And here is the reading I got this evening:

how you feel about yourself now (The Emperor)

You feel that success and achievement are on their way to you. A man of significance will provide his support, perhaps your father, husband/partner or boss - whoever it is, he will give you steady support. You feel confident and able to influence people and events, as you have a great sense of your own authority. Expect promotion at work or achieving greater status in life. If you have been a victim of ill will be assured that you will win in the end.

what you most want at this moment (Death)

The cards suggest Barbara, that what you most want at this time is absolute change, to end what you no longer want and start anew. You desire to transform your career or your love life, perhaps your whole lifestyle in general. However catastrophic such changes could be, embracing them will only make you grow in wisdom and experience.

your fears (The Empress)

You are feeling insecure, perhaps have money worries, as a parent you may have concerns over your children, or perhaps it's an unplanned pregnancy. There are people around you who love and care for you and they will give you support. Try not to be over protective and do not resort to emotional blackmail, it won’t do you any favours.

what is going for you (Temperance)

You are about to enter a period of peace and harmony in your relationship, career or life generally. You will find a way of handling difficult circumstances with calm confidence. Life is flowing at this time enjoy it.

what is going against you (The Sun)

You may experience a few delays on your quest for success and achievement but don’t worry, you’ll get there in a blaze of glory. Success may go to your head a little so a little modesty wouldn’t go amiss. Other than a few minor delays, look forward to a period of joy and happiness.

outcome (Judgement)

A time for taking stock, an end to an era or phase of your life and brand new opportunities appearing. An opportunity will present itself that must not be ignored and it could have far reaching implications, changing your life for the better. You will enjoy success and enjoyment for past efforts, events will pick up a pace and the outcome will be quicker than expected

If any of it is true, it seems that I am in for the much anticipated light at the end of the tunnel I have been waiting for this year of so many changes...

A bit of morning musing

Good morning Friends and Readers! I woke up bright and early this morning to sit on my sofa while my baby ate his breakfast and watched the sunrise. How wonderful this was! You get a whole new perspective on the world when you are able to quietly sit and watch the blue sky gently go from the dark rich midnight blue to the soft cornflower blue one only sees in summer skies.

As I sat there this morning, one of the thoughts going through my mind was how life is so often like those early morning sunrises...

Things are dark, we cannot see anything, and we are waiting for the sun to come up. Then what was dark and shadowy starts to be illuminated. Quietly at first, just a few less shadows, a few crisper outlines. Then all of a sudden everything is bright and we can see exactly what was hiding in the dark.

How many of us have found ourselves in the dark just before dawn, where we couldn't see anything. We can only imagine what is out there around us because we cannot see a thing... then the sun begins it's slow rise into the sky... we start to see shadows and shapes of what is really happening in our lives. And then as the sun crests the mountain top, we can see everything.

I feel like my life right at this moment is in those first few moments before the sun actually illuminates everything. The darkness has been lightened, I can see things around me, but it isn't yet totally visable... I know it will be soon, when I can see what it has been that has been going on in the dark around me.

And so...

I am now off to get spend time with my family on this most wonderful BRIGHT and CHEERFUL Tuesday morning! We have crafts to do, a new toybox to get filled up, and lots of fun things to do! See you all again soon!
