Happy Monday! I love today’s quote from William Faulkner! Isn’t it so true? Unless we take a step outside our comfort zones, we never experience anything new. So, here’s to pushing away from the shoreline!

Since I have been practicing daily Qigong (pronounced Chi-Gong) exercises that also incorporate breath work, therefore making it a meditation, I thought I’d share a simple beginner video with you today in case you’d like to try it. Let me know your thoughts.
The cards I’m sharing with you today are both inspiring to me, and my hope is that they will be for you as well. Even though they are both very different – almost opposites, they each have a great message.
How may times do we forget to nurture ourselves and especially our inner child? I plead guilty! So, this is a great reminder.
Drawn back to the Rune cards, this is what popped out. This Rune is associated with thought and intuition, to the unexpected flashes of awareness that pierce the veil of illusion. Courage and moral strength are needed to be able to sustain the truth unwaveringly. This Rune protects us from overly harsh criticism, enhancing our self-esteem.
I have been nudged to begin a business venture doing Tarot readings for individuals. It will not be strictly limited to the tarot but can also include pendulum work, Colorstrology, and Grandaddy Power Periods for each person. I don’t have a name for the business yet, but I’m taking suggestions. I will charge $45 for a 15-20 minute telephone session, pulling cards and sharing the interpretation. Additional services will be $10 each. I’ll share more as this develops, but I feel really good about it. To begin with, I will only take personal referrals. We’ll see how it all plays out, but this is where I’m headed. If you have unanswered questions, need a different perspective or guidance regarding a situation or decision, or know someone who does, contact me, and let’s set up a session. I’ve been studying and learning the tarot for over ten years, and doing the readings here has been a positive experience. I will continue to do a monthly reading on this blog. But I am nudged to expand the readings to individuals. Let me know your thoughts and if any business name comes to you, that reflects me and the work. Thank you for your support, as always!

An encouraging, if a stretch of intellect, quote from Faulkner–taken not so literally.
I’ve tried Tai-Chi to no great success but I’m not sure I’m ready for Qigong. Thanks for the post.
Thanks, John. I appreciate your comment.
I really love that quote. I should always remember that especially when I get discouraged to try something new.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the quote, Lux. It is true that we shouldn’t be afraid to try something new. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thank you for visiting.
I’ve found that the more you connect with spirit, the easier and more intuitive it gets. This seems like a perfect fit for you, Jan, and after ten years or working with the cards, you must be ready. I’m eager to hear how it goes for you. Hugs!
It is so true, Diana, that the more we connect with Spirit, the easier it gets to receive clear direction. Thank you for your good wishes. I appreciate you stopping by!
Good luck with your new business, Jan
Thank you, John.

The quote from Faulkner really resonates with me right now, Jan. Great share!
Good luck with your new venture. It sounds like something close to your heart, and I can tell you are excited about it!
Thank you so much, Mae. I’m glad you enjoyed the Faulker quote. I appreciate you taking the time to visit today.
All the best with your new mission. I’m sure there are many ideas worthy of a novel to be discovered there.
Good point, Craig. I hadn’t thought of story fodder. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sister, the only bit of light in navigating the future is trusting our guts, our honed instincts. I’m excited you felt the nudge to start this new venture and I think it’ll be very beneficial to you, and especially others seeking guidance. This is a great post today with the Oracle and Rune cards. I loved the quote. I need to start doing this breathing exercise and plan to. Love you so much.
You are so right, sister. Our gut is our built-in GPS going forward, and we can always rely on it. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and than you for your confidence in me. I love you!
Jan, I’m excited for you on this new business venture! Thank you for the QiGong video. If I may ask, what is the name/author of the Rune Oracle cards? Happy week and Midsummer! 🙂
Thank you, Mary. I’m glad you enjoyed the QiGong video. I am finding this gentle way of exercising to be wonderful. Here is a link to the Rune Oracle cards I have. https://www.amazon.com/Runes-Oracle-Cards-Lo-Scarabeo/dp/0738738816/
Thanks so much, Jan! xoxo
Go0d luck with your new business. It is intriguing!
Thank you, Jacqui! I appreciate your comment.
It is such a good idea that you start making a business out of tarot card reading. You are so good in it and can help many to see their situation clearer to find a way to deal with it or to make their decisions.
Thank you for the kind words and vote of confidence, Erika. I’m following Spirit’s lead, knowing it will be for the highest good of all. Have a great week! Hugs!
I have to say, it absolultely feels like it! But you are so good in listening to yourself and to the voice of Spirit (which one first ever… lol)
Great quote by Faulkner (an author I love) and I love the “inner child” focus of the angel card. Best wishes with your new venture, Jan. I suspect you’ll find it quite fulfilling.
Thank you so much, Staci. I think we all forget to nurture our inner child. I certainly do and especially when life throws me a curve ball. Thank you for the good wishes. Hugs!
Good luck with the new venture. Would you consider doing it via Zoom or facetime?
Most certainly, Darlene. I’m open to all modalities of communication. Thank you!
Also, enjoyed the breathing video too!
I am loving learning more about Qigong, Denise. Glad you enjoyed it.
It is a great quote, Jan 🙂 I love the chosen cards, Jan this week, perfect. I couldn’t think of a better venture for you to do and excited for you! Wishing you all the best with it. Xo
Thank you, Denise. All signs are pointing toward helping others with readings instead of just on here. I’m letting Spirit lead.
Hi Jan, a good idea. I think it will be a wonderful change for you and still something you enjoy.
Thank you, Robbie. I appreciate the positive comment.
Wishing you all the best on your venture, Jan! I love that quote by Faulkner. xo
Thank you, Jill. I appreciate the good wishes. And yes, the Faulkner quote really spoke to me.
Good luck on this step outside of your comfort zone, Jan.
Thank you so much, Dan!
Love the Faulkner quote. Wishing you the best with your new venture.
Thank you, Joan!
Good luck with your new venture ?
Thank you, Jeanne!
You go, girl!
Thank you, Annette! Hugs!
