\"strength<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve had some plumbing problems again. In fact the “leak” was really a gush and it took out a portion of the ceiling in the kitchen below. Fun! Fun! I’m glad both my husband and I are very handy with such things but it would sure be nice not to have to worry about dealing with it at all.<\/p>\n

Feeling tired, but determined to get the house cleaned back up today I started with pulling my card from the Isidore Tarot Deck<\/a> (which seriously, you have to get for yourself. Maybe I had a past life in the Victorian Era or something but I love the heck out of this deck!) My card for today was Strength but in reverse.<\/p>\n

While in the upright position, this card is about quiet strength as opposed to brute force, fortitude and perseverance. In reverse it can denote weakness, impatience, lack of discipline, etc…I can see how that is playing out for me. Today I am certainly feeling impatient. I moved into the mode of cleaning and taking care of things with a rampage, determined to make things more livable. Using brute physical force and adrenaline, I quickly lost steam. I think frustration or anger can be a good initiator but it cannot sustain like a quiet fortitude can. Today is a good day to allow your impatience to move through you, don’t fight it, accept it. If that’s where you are \u00a0that’s ok. Let it perhaps initiate some movement\u00a0in your life but then move it toward determination and steady, thoughtful action. \u00a0This card in reverse can show you where you perhaps need more discipline in prioritizing your agenda, moderating your moods and learning how to persevere, trusting that all things do come to an end and there will be a time for rest once again. In the meanwhile, deep breaths! Do not judge yourself harshly if you are feeling dejected or weak, we all have those moments. But know that it is within you to flip that energy around and make it something that can work for you as opposed to against you. You do have the quiet strength necessary to handle life’s hardships. Make a cup of tea, quiet your heart and your mind,\u00a0then try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
