Whew.

So, the holidays are almost over, and with the passing of the holidays comes the opportunity to return to normal. Or what passes for normal around here, anyway.

I have kind of let my tarot studies lapse over the past couple months, (I know- shocking and unexpected, right? You never would have guessed) but as the new year approaches, I've been considering how best to approach diving back in. You see, I miss tarot in my life when it's not an everyday part of my life. I think it's not just the Tarot, but an overall sense of spirituality that is missing. I get really caught up in "Now, and now, and next" and forget to breathe- to really, really breathe, to slow down and see and experience everything that is happening.

So, my goals for the new year are as follows:

To continue meeting with our tarot group as often as possible, hopefully an average of once a week;

To offer no less than 5 online readings at Aeclectic.net per week;

and,

To study and learn a new spread an average of once every two weeks.

I've also decided to start carrying a deck with me wherever I go. I had a very tough time choosing which deck that would be. I recently cut about 17 decks out of my collection; I still have quite a few, but most of them weren't appropriate for purse-living for a variety of reasons. I waffled and wavered and finally remember that my Legacy of the Divine, which has been on a little adventure of it's own, had returned home to me. In to the purse it went, and I am quite satisified with it there. Honestly, given the choice I would always, always pick the Bohemian Gothic to read with, but until it's reprinted (which looks quite likely at this point, yay!) I'm not carrying everywhere I go.
In other news, we've welcomed a couple new contributors to our ranks, and hopefully they'll be along to post as things settle down a bit more.

Lastly, don't forget to add strengthandthestar@hotmail.com to your messenger account; if you see me online, I'm available to do readings.

I hope the new year brings peace and prosperity to everyone.
