Happy Little Things

I have very specific emotions and thoughts regarding dragon pose. It can be summed up in one word: Nemesis.

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.

Another year has flown by and The Salty Blossom has another birthday this month! The company is turning 6 years old - you know, as in we're ready for 1st grade.

Now, we're totally professional and will never make an immature decision ever again.  And if you believe any of that, I'd like to sell you this unicorn that I just caught at recess.  Let's have a mental slideshow as The Salty Blossom graduates...
