It's Been A While

A quick note to share some thoughts:
I finally got my home office to the point where I can actually lay on the floor and do yoga! There was no where in the house I could stretch out. It feels good. Now I have to start doing Yoga!!
My life is filled with great intentions, sometimes the Niki saying "JUST DO IT!" works and other times I am the tortoise and everyone else is the hare.
Time seems to FLY by, one day blending into the next and me wondering how I got to July when last week it was Christmas. Anyone else experience that dilemma? Seems the older I get the faster time goes.
However, my creative spirit has been active, I made some jewelry that I am hoping to sell. Cleaning has been a catharsis, I try to spend an hour a day letting go of items I no longer need.  There have been a few trips to my donate box in the hall to pull things back and then another trip back to let it go.
One really needs to get rid of it right away so there is no second thoughts. The only thought then is "It's gone, oh well!" Yes I know there may be a scream, or tears or agonizing thoughts about how you may need it someday. But in the long run, you will feel relieved you let it go.
My new adventure is learning about the Tarot. I have picked it up and put it down numerous times over the years. My grandmother read the Tarot with me when I was a child. Using the cards comforts me. Memories of those delightful moments we shared make it feel like yesterday, talking over a cup of tea she reading the cards, then the tea leaves after finishing our tea. 
I wish she was here for me to talk with, I guess in a way she is, her spirit encourages me to discover this medium. The cards I use are Angel Cards by Doreen Virture. When I practice with them and ask a question, the answers seem to show up in the cards to my  amazement. 
Some people arent sure what to think of my new interest, while others are anxious for me to read the cards fot them. Since I need to practice, I am grateful for those willing to be open minded to all possibilities.
So my friends I will let you know how it goes. There is much on line to study and listen too! For now, it intrigues me and calls to me to think outside of the box. It is an interesting journey. One of my friends used to read the Tarot and we are going to go to some classes together which is really great. My life and mind is getting exercise, even if my body isnt on my nice clean wide open office floor.
Will keep you informed....... have a blessed day.
