Tarot Card of the Day: Two of Swords Reversed

Your Card for today.  Consider the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up here for you.
MEANING:  The 2 of Swords reversed is a card about partnership and balance. It may be that the time has finally come where you are truly ready to open yourself up to a deep, meaningful partnership – and this can be on a personal or professional level. However, you will need to keep an eye on the other aspects of your life; all business, all love, etc., makes for an imbalanced and thus eventually problematic life.  Your partnerships are likely to deepen and become more important in your life, partnerships of all kinds. However, beware putting too much emphasis on any one partnership. You have several that need to be priorities in your life. Continue reading →

What’s the difference between her writing about it & me writing about it? It’s between 2 parties and she’s not one of them

The difference is that I write about what I personally experience, and I share my impressions about what I personally experience. A third party is writing criticism about me based on what someone else told her was true. I could have said, “what someone else in anger told her was true,” because, personally knowing each person, to me that is what it appears. But I do not know that as a fact since I was not there to witness it firsthand. So I can’t say that. Unless I was there, it’s none of my affair. I spent the last year standing up for someone she’s just discovering. It’s a new crusade to her but for us, it’s deja vu all over again. If and when he ever wants to reach out to me, he will.  He’s his own man.  If and when I want to reach out to him, I will.  The idea that a third person, who wasn’t there, who has already sought out mutual friends to spread mis-info about me and talks about suing me, would be the appropriate one to mediate, is unconscionable. To those who know either of us for the last 20 years, no more needs to be said. Never stifle your voice.  Always write your impressions, on everything.  Just don’t, however well meaning, write as “truth” what you yourself did not experience firsthand.  That’s keeping it real. That’s also keeping it legal.

I feel so in alignment, Veronica Drake said it well

“Do you know the feeling that comes with being in alignment. alignment with purpose, passion and just life.  It feels like when you are walking side by side with someone and your stride matches theirs! Or how cool it is when the marching band all have the same moves at the same time! I JUST FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT MY BUSINESS… I AM IN ALIGNMENT.”  Veronica Drake
The whole last week has been one synchronicity and stroke of luck after another. I love the feeling of being in the slot, in the right place at the right time. I can tell I’m there when everything flows smoothly. And I just once more rearranged the living room. The chi is flowing!

This again? This time under the guise of “seeking advice on reconciliation?” Count me out of this once and for all

I write this since it’s being brought up YET AGAIN when it was long over. In 2012 a friend and I argued and GOT OVER IT.  Afterwards, a mutual Facebook friend decided instead of amicably resolving through understanding and taking of personal responsibility (which he did) Someone needed to instead be ticked off and sue me.  Someone and I soon defriended Third Party.  Although WE had moved past it, the argument caused a lot of behind the scenes activity with FB “friends.”  I played down the fact of being harassed almost daily for months by people with phony profiles for accounts deactivated, because they thrived on the attention. It became clear who the source of the harassment was but I reported no one. I simply responded to their concerns in my blog.  I was accused of things they later found others had done, yet did not amend the blog accusing me. Third Party now, months later, is again actively making accusations about things she wasn’t in the picture to witness. Under the guise of “seeking advice on reconciliation,” she’s mentioning her story to many we mutually know.  Bless everyone she feels she needs to involve in this situation for whatever her agenda is.  Count me out. I delete her emails as they come in. Bless her. I moved on months ago.  It’s between he and I, period. If my friend and I have something to say to each other, one of us will reach out.  It’s not for anyone else to decide when or even if that ever needs to happen.

To the one writing me about confrontation and mediation

I know you’re acting like you’re trying to help.  This is a matter between two people and you’re not one of them. You look at it as a confrontation needing mediation in a public place?? All it takes is a few simple emails between the parties involved, when either wants it.  There is no hurry. You are not one of those parties.  No drama required.  I no longer read your emails.
RELATED: It’s all related.

A friend and I discover the spidey sense amplified between us

Me: “You should do this for money.”
He: “If I was good at it, I would.”
Me: “Hold my hand.  Give me whatever impressions come to mind.”
He: “The first thing is a man in a sailor suit, he came right away.” Next, “elephants with their trunks going wild.”
Me: “I rest my case.”  
Earlier in the day I did a reading, and the client sent me a photo of her father in a sailor suit.  I laundered all the wall hangings today and also included the footstool cover, which depicts dozens of elephants with upraised trunks.   I count that as two direct hits.  If you want to keep your skills up, all it takes is practice.

To any third parties trying to mediate, don’t

Bless you, but you’re just causing damage with your misunderstood intervention.  If there’s anything to be resolved, it would be between the two parties.  They can email each other directly when either wants contact.  Thanks for your concern, helpful person. And to anyone who has any questions for me personally, between you and I, feel free to email me a list of your concerns and I will be happy to address them.  I welcome input; it helps me consider course correction.  Everyone is my teacher.

I’ve had my 15 minutes many times over

It’s nice to be wanted! I just got my third offer in 30 days to be included in projects getting national exposure, all requiring very little input on my part… Call me crazy but more exposure just feels like more work. I’m looking to slow down and chill out. I feel I’ve had my 15 minutes many times over. As a 12th house Aries, I’m comfortable behind the scenes.

Reaping the consequence of words and actions

In trying to help, she talked so long and loud about what her new friend had already moved past, what had died down months earlier, that she moved him up in the search engine rankings, and not for his best work.  That’s what happens when you make choices from a place of disconnection, for personal inclusion.  This is why you never speak for someone else.  If you don’t know enough to help them, at least stop hurting them in the name of standing up for an underdog.  He’s not an underdog. He’s a man doing his best to get his life together the only way he knows how, and he’s making progress.  Stop seeing him as someone who needs to be fixed and stop identifying him by the label that keeps being brought up.
