What is Road Opener & How to Use Road Opener

February 25, 2018 / tarotpugs / 2 Comments

Ever feel stuck or blocked in some way that no matter what you do, you don’t see progress? That no matter how many spells you do you don’t see the results you want? Sometimes we can be blocked in ways that we don’t realise and we have to open the roads to allow what … Continue reading What is Road Opener & How to Use Road Opener

Family is everything. No matter what you call family, if it's your birth family, adoptive family, chosen family of select members and/or friends, or even a family of just you and your pets, they are the ones who are with you no matter what. ~•~ It's common that we overlook and sometimes neglect our families, especially due to work and responsibilities that demand a lot of our time and energy. Even though many of us get weekends or days off each week and/or take vacation each year, for many of us, it just doesn't seem like enough to really appreciate and enjoy family time. ~•~ Forming (or reforming) family can connections takes conscious effort to really appreciate what and who you have in your family life. ~•~ Even if we just say a prayer each day to thank (god/goddess/spirit, etc.) for our loved ones and/or just a simple but heartfelt thank you or love note to our loved ones to show our appreciation can make a difference and show how much we care. ~•~ The holidays are coming up which can be stressful for many people who don't get along with family or certain family members. Focus instead on those you do love and want to be with, spend more time with those you enjoy their company even if it's a chosen family of friends. ~•~ Card image from The Rider Tarot by U.S. Games Systems Inc.

Let's be real for a moment. This time of year is very difficult for some people. Even though it's a festive time, it can be one of the loneliest times. ~•~ Many people are afflicted with seasonal affective disorder and there are varying degrees of depression that affect millions of people at any time of the year. ~•~ The misconception is that if someone is depressed or suicidal that the telltale signs are obvious - except they aren't obvious. Most people with mental health issues learn to hide these symptoms very well and very few of us know what goes on behind closed doors. ~•~ We say to people who are affected to reach out, but that's oversimplifying it. We say to reach out to people who may be suffering from mental afflictions, but many of us don't know what's going on with someone because they can hide it. ~•~ Depression isn't 24/7. People with depression can still laugh and have fun with friends but it's fleeting. When the party is over and friends go home, that's when the depression returns. People with mental illness can hide it so well sometimes that even close friends might not know. ~•~ That's why suicide is often such a shock because people don't know what had been going on. ~•~ All I can say is reach out to friends, family and coworkers and include them. Let them know you appreciate them. Reach out to offer them any assistance and let them know you expect nothing in return. Be kind to one another all year long. Be a good friend. ~•~ This post goes out to someone that we lost. Adieu, notre ami. ~•~ Card image from The Rider Tarot by U.S. Games Systems Inc. Tarot Pug: Rosie.

Being spiritual can be easy when all is going well, yet when unfortunate events or difficulties happen, it can be difficult to stay spiritual and keep faith. ~•~ Daily practice of meditation, ritual, prayer or spiritual practices can help to create a routine and something to fall back on when times get tough. ~•~ As much as it would be nice for some of us to live like a hermit in the mountains or forest, we have to face daily life and its ups and downs all the while finding meaning and purpose amidst it all. ~•~ What do you do each day or regularly to stay spiritual? For me, it's dressing candles to burn regularly and reading certain Orphic Hymns.

Now that the holiday season is upon us and we start focusing on events, gift giving, get-togethers and all that comes with the season, we have to ask: are we taking enough care of ourselves? ~•~ It's good to take care of others and make sure everyone is provided for whether it's people under our care or taking care of guests, but we have to make sure we do things for ourselves during this time. ~•~ Winter is naturally a time of withdrawal as the Earth goes into a slumber, yet socially we're expected to be out and about, to entertain, to be with family and friends, to party, celebrate and more. ~•~ There's nothing wrong with that as we're still in Sagittarius season which thrives on this. Yet for some of us, it can be stressful and add anxiety and pressure, making us feel unbalanced and uncomfortable at times. ~•~ Let's try to have a more relaxed attitude and take time to enjoy the moment, allow ourselves moments to really enjoy some time alone to enjoy a tea or coffee uninterrupted pr just sneaking off to a personal retreating space whether it's in a bathroom to get away or the bedroom or just going outside. ~•~ Eat well and sleep well. Take time to make sure your needs are met while taking care of responsibilities and others. ~•~ Card image from The Moonchild Tarot by Danielle Noel. Tarot Pug: Rosie.
