My mother was here from 3.13.40 to 2.29.96.
[This photo of us was taken on my 26th birthday]
This Leap Day is an important anniversary for me because the day itself, being rare, is causing me to pause and reflect. I am older than she ever got to be. I feel like it’s so important to make these years really meaningful, since I am blessed to have them, when she (not to mention so many others) was not.
Here is something different and fun for you today.
I used The Kitchen Tarot. I actually won this deck in a contest from Elemental Energies by Chris Ann and Jeff. It sat patiently waiting for me to take significant notice of it, which happened this week. I love this practical, down-to-earth deck and I hope you will, too.
—a small basket (but you can use a tray or even a gift bag—whatever you have) with crayons 🖍 , crystals, a card deck, journal and pen … you get the idea. Whatever YOU want.
If you want some privacy and/or are not interested in feedback about your creation from various other people in your household, Tuck it under the bed (or in a closet, or in a drawer) when not in use, pull it out for a few minutes first thing in the morning or before you go to sleep. Pull a card, or write a few lines in your journal, or simply sit with your crystal of choice for a few moments and breathe.
I am an author. My books are about relationships, trusting yourself, and being brave. I love writing about food, books, and holistic health.
I write from the great state of Maine. Click here to connect with me.
