Happy Little Things

Here comes September! Let's take a peek at what's in store. For this reading, I am using The Priestess of Light oracle cards by Sandra Anne Taylor & Kimberly Webber. Click here to see a description in the shop! I like to pull three cards at a time. I use my intuition to weave the messages from the three cards together into one overall theme for the month. I am showing short excerpts from each card's description below and then my intuitive overall message! Card #1: Balance - Stability, Standing Firm "The Priestess of Balance walks a steady line, looking...

My first deck of oracle cards was gifted to me. I very politely said, "thank you so much", and then had no idea what to do. I pulled them out every so often, flipped through the cards, but did not feel any pull towards them. I was FRUSTRATED. I wanted to feel a pull.

Before my Reiki I training, I did not have trust in anything other than my own abilities. Although raised Catholic, I had developed enough skepticism of religion that I did not believe anything out there was supporting me. A series of interesting events brought me to my Reiki I training. A Reiki I training includes a sacred process called an attunement. As is often the case, my attunement blasted open my intuition. As I started experimenting and playing with the skills of Reiki, one of the biggest surprises was that I was suddenly in tune with and could pick up...
