Yes, Take It Personally - What The Fool Card in the Tarot Is Telling You

 "The Fool invites you to take risk, step outside of the box, and remove yourself from spaces where you intuitively know you are holding yourself back." - Interpretation of the Fool card by Jessica Wiggan in the book "How To Read Tarot."

So many memes floatig around are pontificating not taking what happens personally. That's hammered, for example, in the popular enlightenment guide "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. The title of Chapter 3 is "Don't Take Anything Personally."

So, if the boss mistreats you you are supposed to see that through the lens of sizing him or her up as a wounded human being. No, don't put energy into analyzing your possible part in the bad treatment.

Tarot takes a different stance. Many of the cards awaken you to exactly that: your part. One message is that you invite shabby treatment because of your own self-hate. So, love yourself. The New York Times published a feature in April 2021 explaining how the Tarot is a tool for self-awareness. 

The Fool card puts the burden of action in your career on you. Not what's the economy is doing or your superior's management style, or how you family didn't encourage your talents. The trick is to develop a habit of opennness. One mantra associated with that is: Clear thinking, don't know.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
