Following my intuition in uncertain times


πŸ¦‹ πŸ’œ 🌿 How are you?

​

Things in the USA and world are nutty, I won't harp about it, only say that uncertainty feels like a buzzword. And in uncertain times I gravitate to things like:
​
​
following my intuition,

reading Tarot cards, and

watching astrology reports on Youtube. ​
​

It's something fun to think about.
​
​
(BTW If you’d like a personal intuitive reading, then come to our upcoming charity event TOMORROW!
​
In the spirit of generosity, everyone who has donated to my fundraisers in the past can come get a Card reading! And new people can donate to get a reading, or just come and support.
​
Scroll down for all the info.)
​

I mentioned the eclipse in my last email, but I didn't realize that on March 15 (Saturday), Mercury also went retrograde (and will remain so for about a month.)

​

Usually people mention Mercury Retrograde because something went wrong,

but for me there's something I like about it.

I've always seen it as an opportunity to reread old journals, and wrap up old projects.
​

(Things that I like to do! But don't always take the time.)
​

And admist the uncertainty in the air, I find myself tending to this sense of something unknown like a ritual....
​
​
raising my levels of patience with the answers slowly unfolding via these actions...

​

I spent the weekend in an hours long deep dive into old journal entries and blogs from previous eclipses and Mercury Retrogrades.
​

I pulled out old lessons and gems that speak to me even if I don't fully understand why:

  • ADJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS to be less perfectionist.
  • If you have been ignoring some kind of inner call, the signs will get louder and may possibly cause trouble, so be SURE to have downtime to hear yourself in the silence. You absolutely need to get clear on what your soul and intuition are trying to tell you, it is VITAL this week.. a new part of you will be revealed.
    ​
  • We need to be open to listening within to our feelings. We need to let go of feeling Obligated. Sometimes we are going to be feeling highs–and sometimes we are going to be feeling lows.
    ​
    But listen to what you are feeling and it may be a time when you need to chuck old rules and expectations out of the window so you can solve problems more creatively, take your time, get a break, etc, whatever you FEEL like doing. It may be difficult to let go and trust yourself that way, rather than an external authority or rule of how to do things, but it is what is really needed right now. Put yourself self first.
    ​
  • Commitment is essential to rapid growth and development as well as intimacy in relationships. So is clear communication and honesty. Be open with yourself to see how you fare in this area: how committed are you to your dreams? What are you committed to at this time?
    ​
  • An emerging creative power is coming forward, through your feelings, your passion, your actions and deeds. You must trust yourself.
    ​
  • Recognize you are brave and strong and have been for a long time. Have courage.
    ​
  • Slow down. Connection to pleasure is important. Answers will emerge.

​

I'm sharing because this is brings me fascination and inspiration in my life today and maybe something here resonates with you...even if you don't totally know why.

I think when times are uncertain, trusting your intuition can be really helpful. ​
​
Want to try it?

I'm teaming up with a professional intuitive named Kris this week and you are welcome to join our online event on Wednesday, March 19 at 1 PM Pacific/ 4 PM Eastern

β€œKris’s Tarot Card reading was insightful, enlightening, and spot-on. I have had many readings through the years and no one has provided as much accuracy and clarity as Kris. She truly forms a genuine connection and has an astounding comprehension of the messages within the cards. I highly recommend tapping into Kris’s talent and getting a reading, you will not be disappointed!” – Theresa, California

β€œKris is an amazing teacher and writer full of light, wisdom and emanates joy in her teachings. Also the best Tarot card reader. Have recommended several friends to have readings and Kris is always generous, bringing light to the issues with insight and accuracy. Love her πŸ’– highly recommended her classes and readings.” – Colleen, California

β€œKris has such a nurturing warmth and love that just oozes from her every word and act and then you couple it with a natural intuitiveness, skills with tarot cards, and her business savvy, and you have one very special and unique women who thrives in this realm! I loved our soul session together; it was affirming for the direction I’m going in creatively, personally, and professionally and encouraging as well to continue listen to my instincts and intuition in all aspects of my life. I highly recommend doing a business soul strategy session with Kris if you’re going in a new direction with your business or creating a new one from the ground up.” – Rachel, California

Join me and Kris for an online Tarot party

Wednesday March 19
​
1-2 PM pacific / 4-5 PM Eastern
​
​

My friend Kris Seraphine and I will be celebrating our successful fundraisers and fundraising for our final student Aminata.
​

We giving out Tarot readings to everyone who donates $25 or more!

(And if you've supported the fundraisers for Her Future Foundation in the past, that counts, too!)
​

We’re now just $550 away from our final goal of $700 – which is 22 donations of $25.

​

Come and share with your friends so we can reach our goal. Let’s make a big impact together.

More information:

​
What is the cause?

We are celebrating our success with our previous fundraiser for students, &
​
We are raising college fees for our last student,
Amanita from Sierra Leone.
​

  • Year 3 pharmacy degree student
  • Orphaned, her parents died shortly after enrolling in college
  • comes from a city with low female literacy in Sierra Leone
    ​

Aminata’s mother (only parent) died and she does not have the support to continue school without help. She is in her third year studying pharmacy at university. This degree will ensure she will have a job to support herself. Total fees are $700.
​

Why it matters

It is rare for women to go to university there so we want to make sure she doesn't have to drop out before she can finish.
​
Only 1 out of 5 women in the city where she is from can read a sentence, so it’s a shame for this tragedy to force her to drop out of the most prestigious medical university in the country. 1% of women get any college education.
​

Aminata said without this degree her only job alternative is constantly hunting unreliable part-time jobs doing hard-labor, like hand washing laundry. But the degree will ensure her a steady career like her mother hoped for her. ​

What we need:

​

Please spread the word.

It will change Aminata’s life. This is my last fundraising goal for the season!

This week, I watched all of the Harry and Meghan interviews on Netflix. And sidenote: oh my golly, it is an unfortunate story, but also very inspiring. Shame that things didn't work out and they couldn't remain as part of the royal family but leaving...
