Hi there everyone.  It has been a couple of weeks since I felt inspired to write.  I had a bit of a wrestle with this health blip of mine and the pain sucked out all the inspiration from my system! 

But, I am feeling better now and interestingly enough…as soon as the searing pain went away…I started to have these funny things…I think they are called "thoughts"…anyway, they started showing up in my brain.  Yay!!!!!

So, now I can actually string thoughts together and make sentences!  Ah, miracles DO happen every day!!!!!!!!!

Now, on to the tarot card choice for this week.  This card has been chosen from Doreen Virtues:
Goddess Guidance Oracle Card.

BAST
Independent

"Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success."

Message from Bast:  "Like the cat, you’re fiercely independent, yet you also need affection and playful companions.  Now is the time to balance your social interactions with solitude.  While you may ask others for their opinions, ultimately you must make your own decisions.  Your freedom and independence are top priorities, so ensure that these characteristics are nurtured."

Various Meanings of this Card:  Spend time alone * Give yourself permission to play * Ask for your needs to be met * Make your own decision * Work with cats * Pay attention to your pet feline and/or get a new cat

About Bast:  Rhymes with Mast:  The Egyptian goddess Bast transforms into a cat each night and protects her family and those who call upon her with her all-seeing night vision.  She exhibits the catlike traits of the feminine, which include gracefulness, independence, playfulness, and intuition.  Bast also works with cat lovers to help their feline companions.  The daughter of the sun god, Ra, Bast has the rare distinction of being both a moon and a sun goddess.

Interesting card indeedy!  I am soooooooo NOT a cat person…but, I am fiercely independent.  I like dogs:)  Ah, well…whaddya gonna do! 

Here are some questions to ponder:

• What would support more freedom for you this week?

• In what ways is your natural independence wanting more of a say in your day to day?

• Since we are all born to play, some times we honor this…sometimes not…what ways can you tap into this playful energy on a day to day basis?

Well, gotta fly…I am off to go paint some doodles with my new paint brushes. 

Ta Ta for now!
