Talk About What You Want

/

So much is going on in the world right now and I see so much talk about what people don’t want. Talking about what you don’t want has become commonplace in conversation. Did you know that when you constantly talk about what you don’t want, you create a kind of “mantra” and keep what you don’t want active in your mind? It’s a good thing to acknowledge what you don’t want – because when you know what you don’t want, you then know what you do want. But why keep talking about what you don’t want, over and over and over? So many people are beating the drum of negativity and it’s all they know. Some people never get past talking only about what they don’t want. How can you get your desire when you are pushing against someone or something or coming from a place like that? It’s got to shift at some point, you’ve got to pivot. You’ve just got to stop talking about what you don’t want and start talking about what you do want. Tell people what you want and come from a place of power.

Mini Reading for Today

/

I pulled the major Arcana tarot card, The Sun, to get a read on this summer. I meant to share this with you earlier but this summer is been quite the busy season. Did you know that summer is the season of work – to start new projects, to cook things up, to make new friends, and get some things done? That’s not to say summer is without breaks from work but really it’s about doing your work with joy. The Sun tarot card means joy of living, creativity and playful pleasure. This is great energy to put into your work. Choose to do it joyfully and with self-assurance – be deliberate but without trying too hard today. If you are feeling stuck, go back to those memories when you weren’t stuck. Remember how you felt and milk that feeling. Your memories of good things show you that it’s been possible for you and can be now. Remember you are figuring things out, enjoy the variety, enjoy the things you learn about what you don’t want and what you do want. Care so much about the way you feel. Your power lies in your mood, so choose to go about your day today with ease.

On the Path

/

I thought this was worth discussing because I hear a lot of talk about being on “the right path” or “the wrong path”. News flash, there’s no “right” or “wrong” path. How can there be? How can even the worst of things in your life be wrong if it led you to where you are now? If you don’t like where you are now, just be easy on yourself about it. Nothing is ever at a standstill and you can find relief in that. You may not know the details of how, why, when or where and that’s ok. Just try to stay as centered and wobble-free as you can be. I know sometimes things can feel so wrong so how can it not be the wrong path? The only way you know if the path is right or wrong is how you feel. When something goes wrong, the great thing you can rely on is you often end up knowing what you actually do want. Everything you go through stimulates new thought and ideas. What feels like a diversion off the path, doesn’t mean you’ve made a mistake at all. The path is supposed to surprise and delight you. You are the creator of your own reality so enjoy the journey – even the ups and the downs. The path is always lighted for you.

Mapping

/

I was asked recently to make a map of Italy and thought I would share it today on the blog. I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting all of the places shown here on the map but they are surely on my list. I learned so much in my research of each place and hope my illustrations will show you what to look for when you are there.

L’Italia è un posto molto bello . Visita lì, mangiare e lasciare con ricordi che stare con te per sempre.

Happy Wednesday ❤
