The Circle: Exploring Life From 360 Degrees

“From small beginnings come great things.”

I find that beginnings are small steps that for me, somehow add up to big accomplishments. Some days I look around and can not fathom how this all came together, then I realize it's a long series of small beginnings taken to their logical conclusion.

Completion is not the end.

This particular card is very important to me. It has attended me along the way over the years and is once again clearly manifesting in my life. As I painted this illustration back in 2006 it was representative of where I was at the time getting ready to introduce the first edition to the world. 
                

I was very cognizant at the time that completing something does not mean you are done. I perceived it as reaching the summit of that particular mountain but I was careful to put other mountains in the distance because I knew there was much more to learn and experience, and here I am again. I hope to someday have a cloisonné pendant made of this card so that I can wear it to remind myself of this truth. Even when we reach a summit, there is more opportunity for growth ahead. 

 Yay!!! The new website went live today. I am really excited as the new edition continues to roll forward. You can't purchase a copy just yet but feel free to drop me an email, and when they are in, I will contact you and we will get you a copy.

Finally. . . New News!

Exciting and interesting things have been happening since the last time I blogged here. I have been working on the second edition of The Circle and getting ready to share it with a much larger audience.

I was trying to figure out how to make The Circle more compact, easier to use and share. Suddenly, one day I had one of those aha moments, when you realize that the Universe has already given you the answer but you have been busy not listening. I find I do that often so I am thankful that the Universe is kind and patient.

 
The limited first edition contained a standard size deck of cards, the new edition is a smaller set that you draw out of a beautiful velvet bag to cast The Circle. Each card is about 2 3/4 by 2 inches and has the same beautiful illustrations.

Other great news!

The 2nd Edition of The Circle will be making it's debut at the INATS show in Denver this June. INATS is an abbreviation for International New Age Trade Show. There will be buyers, owners, representatives and distributors from all over the US and the world looking to see what’s new and we are going to be there to share The Circle with them. Hopefully, that will lead to The Circle being available in your local bookstore before this Fall.

The new edition will also be available at the website starting May 1st, and with a nod of the Universe, a bit sooner. Looking forward to sharing the New Edition with you all

Blissings!

Castings: Big Transformation From Self Source

This week I have been thinking about my health and specifically my weight. This has been an ongoing theme throughout my life and I have had times when I was on track and times when I was off course.




Focus = Intuition
Using intuition. The choices you make are often guided by intuition. From subtle insights to direct knowledge, intuition is your ally.

Desire = Procrastination
Letting go. You desire an end to the frustrating impasse that is stifling your ability to more forward. It may be that you need to let go of some unrealistic expectations and free yourself to finish what you start.

Outside Influences = Fertility
Gathering support. A friend or partner can be counted on to lend you support. Be sure to acknowledge their generous contribution.

Inner Dialog = Origin
Coloring the past.  You may want to represent your past as other than
it was.  Be certain that your perceptions are accurate and honest. Do not deceive yourself.

Challenges = Knowledge
Learning from life. Education does not take place in the classroom alone. You are a student in the school of life. Learning opportunities abound. Make the most of them.

Insight = Discovery
Seizing the day.  New opportunities present themselves.  Do not hesitate.  Let your sense of adventure guide you.

Meditation = Betrayal
Being true to yourself. “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou cants not then be false to any man.” ~ William Shakespeare

Resolution = Transformation
Living fully. You want a meaningful life. Change brings opportunities to explore new aspects of yourself. There are exciting changes coming your way.
