I always joke that if I were a tarot card, I would be the Tower. Except I&#8217;m really not joking. I seem to have a lot of extremes in my life. I&#8217;m a risk taker and I tend to never do things half way so I do\u00a0increase the odds of drama. That being said, I have learned that the experience of the Tower, though usually painful, has always given me amazing opportunities to rebuild in a bigger and better way.<\/p>\n<p>I am not surprised that this card came up for me this morning. My husband (who I&#8217;d have to say would be the Magician, if her were a tarot card!) and I were speaking of facing fears just this morning. The interesting thing about this is the adjustment in our attitudes. Our visceral realization of how we stop ourselves by negative thinking. Now that&#8217;s not to say we need to walk around with a happy sunshine attitude all the time, because let&#8217;s face it, that&#8217;s not reality. And if\u00a0we walk around in denial, that&#8217;s when the Tower Card\u00a0really hurts. It\u00a0comes at you hard.<\/p>\n<p>Today the tower showed in reverse. You see, I know what I&#8217;m facing. And I&#8217;m not running from it. I actually appreciate the Tower today because it&#8217;s letting me know I have some warning of what is to come, I have a little bit of time and if I play my cards right (no pun intended) I can lessen the pain of it all. I can be proactive this time as opposed to being on the receiving end.<\/p>\n<p>Today is the day to drop all emotional attachments to your fears. Today, look at your reality and accept it in this moment. That is not to say that you accept that it will always be that way. But look at what is and deal with it. Do not become paralyzed. Pull out all your creative problem solving skills, your magic, your resolve. Act decisively. There are resources, there are ways. The biggest thing is to not let the devil inside control you. Do not allow yourself to obsess or become stuck thinking that you can&#8217;t do something. Do not allow the type of thinking that says, &#8220;I can only do that when this..&#8221;. The time is NOW. You&#8217;ve been warned.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to read these cards for yourself, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theisidoretarot.com\/deck\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Ah the Tower. \u00a0Good morning to me!
