My next adventure..........Paris. September 2009

Card Reading - 3 card spread

I had my tarot cards read tonight. I do this every 6 months and have had my card read rountinely over the years. I have developed my intuition from these card readings and I have found a greater respect for my emotions. My life before revolved around rules, cultural expectations and my own perfectionism. I used to be the girl that thought to be "normal" that meant being married to your high school sweetheart, having children and a white picket fence. I used my"intelligence" to hide my thoughts or feelings. I was hiding.

The three card spread told the story about the past, present and near future.

The cards showed how I have built a strong foundation over the years by being patient with the change of direction/path I was on and working hard at creating a life for myself. I have remained true with my heart and dealt with past hurts. I'm strong and grounded.

I have contentment and peace in my life. I walk away from drama, abuse, negativity, and harmful gossip. I'm happy and relaxed in my skin.

The wild card is coming. Not good or bad. The wild card is a test to see how well I remain solid in my intuition and trust my heart. This wild card could disrupt my peace and contentment. The choice is mine. The wild card is a possible love relationship, my brother coming back into my life after years of seperation, or the wildness in my personality. I guess we see what the wild card is and how well I study to pass this test.....or not.

cultivating my best life

Spent the weekend with my close friend and her family. We discussed our creative ambitions and we spent time just laughing and relaxing in the sun. The key to life is..........Sunblock.

My close friend, Vivian Bales is the natural talent and a force of nature. She is a true artist and wonderful friend. Vivian is the one person that I watch and the one that teaches me so much.

She inspires me to focus, settle down and follow through on my current goal. I want to do good by her.

My goal is to create a one of a kind skirt. A collage fabric A-line skirt. I was able to focus and develop a pattern for my fabric.T I will be using pieces of fabric from those "jelly rolls". Thanks for the parchment paper, Viv. I knew there was a purpose for parchment paper. The purpose is to develop my pattern. The pattern is flowers and petals. I will be creating a wild flower garden skirt.

Now, I'm in the process of developing my material to build my skirt. I shall post my fabric soon. I enjoy where this journey is taking me. I know that Vivian will wear my skirt........For fun.
