This Journey Called Life

School was supposed to open up April 15th, well as you know we haven't gone back to school yet. They recently announced that we may may be able to go back on May 15th. I asked my cards if we are going back to school on May 15th . . . 1) The Magician 2) 10 of Cups 3) The Empress 4) Judgement 5) Shadow Card - Knight of Wands So not exactly clear to me. I am still a beginner to Tarot. I still just have my first deck, The Robin Wood deck. I have gotten a lot closer and more comfortable with the deck. The Magician, getting all your ducks in a row, getting prepared. 10 of Cups and Empress - family, strong family ties. Judgement - rise from the ashes. Knight of Wands - blazing trails, moving forward. So it does seem that the cards thinks that school will open up. Though I am doubtful. OK, so still single girl here! Of course I asked them a romantic question. I have recently started the whole online dating thing. No expectations whatsoever. I just really did it because I am g...

Chapter 1 “Rory!” Yelled Lucy as she was pouring her coffee into her mug. Lucy was already 15 minutes behind schedule due to her alarm clock not going off this morning. She didn’t remember if she set it correctly the night before. Three glasses of wine will do that to a person, Lucy thought to herself shaking her head. “You have 15 minutes before we are leaving this house!” Lucy again yelled as she went up the stairs to get dressed for work. 17 minutes later they were both in her four door sedan driving towards Rory’s school and the veterinary clinic where Lucy worked. She has worked at the Blue Hills Veterinary Clinic for almost 10 years. She loved her job, the animals, and the people she worked with. As they pulled up to the curb, Lucy leaned over to Rory who was taking off his seat belt.  “Have a great day kiddo! I hope you do well on the math quiz!” She kissed his cheek quickly before he could scoot out the door. “Bye Mom, love you,” he said quietly as his fr...

I have always loved to read. I go to the local library every other week to get 3 or 4 books. I like a lot of different genres. I have always been interested in writing. Honestly though the fear of rejection and the sheer amount of work has held me back. Yesterday I started to look up online writing courses. There are free ones too. I guess I have never thought this far into it. I took a couple writing courses yesterday. They were very inspiring. The first one I took was on Udemy.com, the course was named "Secret Sauce of Writing" by Shani Raja. The four crucial ingredients per Mr. Raja are simplicity, clarity, elegance, and evocativeness. He recommends to use familiar language, use as few words as possible, and uncomplicate your ideas. "When you cut away unnecessary words from your sentences, you give them more power, they become punchy." He is an excellent speaker and makes everything very easy to understand. The second course I didn't finish yet. It was a...

I still have the Robin Wood deck, it's currently the only tarot deck I have. I still love them and am getting to "know them" better and better. I haven't really worked with them at all over these last 3 weeks of quarantine. I asked the cards are we going to go back to school on the 15th like we are supposed to?          9 of Pentacles - a wealthy woman, I did apply for unemployment last week, I am not sure I will get it.          Knight of Wands - ready and willing to move forward.          Magician - has everything all together.          Shadow Card - 8 of Swords - feeling unable, or unwilling to make a decision. I feel like the answer is no. Magician looks like a teacher (me), Dalton is like the Knight, ready to go back, but the overall theme is not being able to make a decision, or forced to make a decision they don't want to.  So we will see, we both want to go back to sc...
