“When someone is upset, don’t deal with the issue, identify the emotion.” Blair Singer

I was in conversation with a friend and he asked, “what emotion are you feeling?” I was surprised I couldn’t readily identify it. I love it when friends ask me questions like that, seeking to clarify for both of us exactly what we are talking about, making sure there are no misunderstandings down the road over something not addressed in the moment. Ya gotta love a conscious male.  I’m thrilled when someone communicates so there aren’t flareups months down the road, leaving you wondering WTF is so hard about having an honest conversation?  Werner Erhard  pointed out that all upsets involve incomplete communication.  I can dig it.

Tarot Card of the Day: Six of Swords Reversed

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.  MEANING:   You may be ready to speak out about things you feel strongly about. However, communication can be difficult now. Think before you speak. Back up your computer.  You may well make some new discoveries and decisions; and you may have some important info to share. However, the way in which you communicate is at least as important as what it is that you have to say. Think carefully about what you need to get across.

It’s nice when friends know me

Voice mail: “X and I are going to dinner.  Not sure how to invite you… maybe I should ask if I may pick you up in 20 minutes. No, forget it, I’ll just pick you up in 20 minutes.” Me Tarzan, you Jane, that works sometimes.

At age 40-60 you’ll reconnect with people from 20-40 years ago

If you knew you would, in your 50’s and 60’s, run in people you knew in your 20’s and 30’s, would you treat them differently?  Even if you move half way around the world, that’s how it’s set up.  People come back into our lives decades down the road to give us a chance for a do-over.  If I knew that at age 20, 30 or even 40, I would never have placed blame and held grudges.  When you reconnect, often you find that only one held onto the pain.  Don’t let it be you.

Tarot of the Day: Ten of Wands

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes. Feel free to share.

MEANING: You may feel as though you are carrying a burden. You may want to look and see if there are any ways that you might lighten your load. You may find part of the burden you are carrying emotionally belongs to someone else. It will be important for you to pace yourself now.

Tarot Card of the Day: The World Reversed

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING:  Although there is a great deal of potential and promise for you, you may be feeling stuck. This is an excellent time to review how well you do at asking for help when you need it. Remember you don’t have to do everything on your own. This can be a card of completion. You’ve worked hard, and you are almost to the finish line in some way. You’re in need of some well deserved rest and relaxation; don’t be afraid to take it. You are getting closer to who you really are, at your deepest levels. If you aren’t seeing this progress when the world appears in reverse, take stock. What is standing in your way? Where are you stuck? Continue reading →
