Celebrate The Little Things

Back in April 2021, after the Covid pandemic had wreaked havoc globally for the past twelve months, we learned that sometimes all we can do is surrender and accept what we cannot control.

And it has taught us so much more. Humans have always managed to rise from destruction and disaster.

While we are still trying to process our trauma and losses, light is also shining through the cracks. 

Here are some lessons many of us learned from the pandemic:

• Enjoying our own company
• Being inventive and resourceful
• Collaborating with others
• Serving our communities
• Practicing discipline
• Cooking and even growing our own food
• Becoming aware of our strengths and weaknesses
• Realizing what we truly value and what is unimportant
• Understanding the vulnerability of our way of life

What lessons have you learned from the pandemic, and how do they continue to impact you today? 

Take a moment each day to recognize and acknowledge your achievements, a-ha moments, little wins, insights, flashes of delight, and the peace and beauty of a moment.

Celebrate the little things that bring you joy and a sense of satisfaction.

Even amidst doubt and uncertainty, there is always a reason to celebrate something, no matter how small, even if we have to celebrate alone. 

Warmest wishes,

Tarot Affirmations

Although Tarot is best known as a fortune-telling tool, it can also be used for self-reflection and personal development.

The Tarot can act as a guide to help you reach your goals, aspirations and fulfil your potential.

Each image depicts an event, a phase in your life or state of being.

It holds countless hidden messages, waiting to be discovered as you immerse yourself in the intricate pictures of the Tarot.

One type of message the Tarot can offer is an affirmation—a positive statement that encourages the practice of positive thinking. 

These affirmations can help you focus on your strengths, embrace your potential, and cultivate a more optimistic outlook on life.

The sentence is kept as simple but as empowering as possible, avoiding negations such as can’t, don’t, won’t, haven’t etc.

An affirmation can be created for each Tarot card.

You can do this by looking at the image and explore its meanings:

• What is this card advising you to do? 
• What is it trying to teach you?

While the possibilities for each card are virtually endless depending on your feelings, intuition and perspective, here are some sample affirmations for the Major Arcana cards:

The Fool – I look forward to new beginnings and enjoy the journey ahead.

The Magician – I use my all my resources and willpower to achieve my goals.

The High Priestess – I trust my intuition to guide me in making the right decision at the perfect moment.

The Empress – I love and protect the people in my care. My love will dissolve tension and fears.

The Emperor – I take control of my life to achieve my ambitions.

The Hierophant – I am open-minded and always enjoy being a student of life.

The Lovers – In matters of the heart I also use my head when I face an important choice.

The Chariot – I harness all my forces to meet my challenges.

The Hermit – I seek solitude to explore my options and to gain wisdom.

The Wheel of Fortune – Whatever life throws at me, I can deal with it.

The Star – I am optimistic about the future.

The Moon – I acknowledge and let go of insecurities and self-doubt.

The Sun – I enjoy every moment of my life.

I Am Not What Happened To Me…

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become – one of the many life lessons the Tarot has taught me over the years.

There is much beyond our control, but we can choose how we react to what life throws at us.

Rejections, breakups, abuse, loss, or simply just the crazy world we're living in….

Once you become aware of how your life experiences have influenced and affected you, you have the power to choose what kind of person you want to be, and what kind of life you want to live.

You even have the power to choose how you want to feel.

You have the power to choose a new direction, being different, and cultivate kindness and joy.

You have the power to choose change, forgiveness, healing.

You have the power to choose living in alignment with your talents, needs, values and resources.

✨Be your own magical influencer✨

It is never too late to make that choice.

What are you choosing today?

⭐Live more Magic with the Tarot⭐

Warmest wishes,
