<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card for Aug. 24. 2015 is the "Magic Chessboard" from the Quest & Adventure Storyworld deck by John & Caitlin Matthews.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The message I get from this card is, don't rush into anything. Take your time, strategize, plan things out especially if you are making a major purchase or signing any kind of contract or commitment. Plan your next move, don't be in a hurry.<br />So ease you way into this new week, plan everything out and hopefully things should go smoothly.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In this card we see the moon shinning down on the little mushroom houses that the fairies live in. Now the moon can make us feel moody, a little "loopy" and can also make us very emotional. So what this card is telling me is that today your home is more than your "castle", it's your sanctuary.<br />Today would be a good day to just stay home ( if you can) and read a good book<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">, do some crafts or some baking or even re-decorate.<br />Hang out with yourself today and be your own "bestie". You might enjoy the company.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all remember the Fairy Godmother from our childhood fairy tales. She was always a sweet, kind older woman who looked after children and sometimes granted them wishes.<br />Well, we all still have a Fairy Godmother only now she is called our spirit guide or our departed ancestors. But the concept is still the same. We can ask our guides and ancestors for help and advice and ma<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ybe even a wish or two. They are here to help us and love us.<br />So remember, we are never truly alone, someone is always watching over us and they are ready to help, all we need to do is ask and believe.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Today's </span><span style="font-size: large;">card is "Transformation" from the Conscious Spirit oracle deck. Her message is,"I journey within to meet my higher self and to find true happiness." </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We live in a very material world, society leads us to believe that the more possessions and external things we have, the happier we will be. Deep down, we all know that this is not true. Real happiness comes from within. Sometimes we're afraid to go within because we know that we all have a "dark" side. But by acknowledging and understanding our darker aspects as well as our "light" aspects we can really start to understand what we need to do to bring in real happiness. Many times it is your "shadow self" that gives you the courage to live in the light. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So take some quiet time for yourself, meditate or listen to some relaxing music and try to connect with your higher self or spirit guides. Always remember to love and take care of yourself, you are very important!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Todays beautiful card is from the Conscious Spirit Oracle deck. This is the Sun Goddess and boy do I need her help today. For the past two days I've been "cranky and irritable" and I don't know why. So, the Sun Goddess's message is, "I celebrate each sunrise and recgonize the healing energies of the sun." Yes, we all need the energies of the sun and the sun always seems to brighten and lighten our moods. So if you can, get out into the sunshine and enjoy! But also remember, to much of a ggod thing can be bad for you, so wear sunscreen and find some shade once in a while. Even in the shade you will benefit from the sun's healing energy.</span><br />

Hope you all have a favorite poem, and I hope you will share it.<br /><blockquote><blockquote> <span class="title">Trees</span> </blockquote></blockquote> <span class="copy"> <br /> I think that I shall never see <br /> A poem lovely as a tree. <br /><br /> A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed <br /> Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; <br /><br /> A tree that looks at God all day, <br /> And lifts her leafy arms to pray; <br /><br /> A tree that may in Summer wear <br /> A nest of robins in her hair; <br /><br /> Upon whose bosom snow has lain; <br /> Who intimately lives with rain. <br /><br /> Poems are made by fools like me, <br /> But only God can make a tree. </span> <blockquote> <span class="copy"> ~ Joyce Kilmer</span> </blockquote>Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08889349132072047964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412047.post-16469676555985962762011-04-03T18:04:00.000-04:002011-04-03T18:05:46.968-04:00100 Book Challenge<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://wierdsistersbookblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/100-book-challenge.html"><br /></a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> Hi All, theses are the books I've read in March and I'm working my way through my 100 book challenge.

Around that time I lost all my desire to do art, so I haven;t been on here too much. I just wanted to let you ladies know that my mom passed away last night. We knew this was coming, but it's still very hard.<br />Please keep posting all your great art work.... maybe I'll get inspired again.<br /><br />HugsJoycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08889349132072047964noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412047.post-52406667886704078532010-12-20T10:05:00.002-05:002010-12-20T10:12:08.325-05:00Kitchen DisasterOkay....has anyone ever drop a can of Pam on the floor? Trust me, its not pretty. I drop a can on the kitchen floor this morning and the nozzle locked into the spray mode, so in a few seconds my floor was covered with slippery, butter flavored Pam. So I pick it up and tried to fix the nozzle, not good, it broke off....now <span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm</span> covered with buttery flavored Pam.<br /><br />My kitchen floor is ceramic tile and is now like an ice skating rink. I finally threw the can into the sink where it is still "hissing" away like a buttery flavored snake.
