Roots

For your consideration…..

When I was given the message for today, I was also given this tarot card that I am very familiar with. It is from the tarot deck “Angel, Gods and Goddesses” by Toni Carmine Salerno. The message on the card is not the one given us for today’s message. The picture is. Yet, there are no coincidences so the card message is meant for us as well. My sense is that each of us will get an immediate image of who “is thinking fondly of us.” Trust who immediately jumps into your mind and heart even if you don’t think it makes sense or it surprises you.

Our message today is about roots. We know that to have beautiful and healthy plants and flowers, we need to have healthy roots. All living things need healthy roots or core. That includes human beings.

We are only as beautiful and healthy as our roots. We are asked to remember to nourish our soul with love, knowledge and joy. We are asked to care for it with love, comfort, forgiveness and understanding when it is ill and/or sad. We are asked to forever be mindful of it and tend to it regularly.

Our beauty and strength grow exponentially to the care we give our soul.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Feed your soul. Laugh out loud. Love it.

What made me smile yesterday…

-Middle schoolers. I love them and have not had many this year.

-Going to the movies with Bruce and Bob.

-Hearing a happy Alex.

-Last of the minute dinner pick that turned out wonderful.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
