Be U: Tarot Wisdom

Coming for the Real You.

I'm hoping to share thoughts, fun and insightful information and aha moments with all to better serve ourselves and the universe.

My background is that of Executive Secretary for the local Electric company (11 years).

Certified Personal Trainer (since 1991) and Fitness Consultant for my own company, Beachin Bodies (6 years) and certified in Reiki and Nutrition with training in Cranial Sacral work, Tai Chi, and Meditation. Certified as a Professional Life Coach (2015); Minister at Universal Life Church (2016);

and, possibly, most important,

my own journey through illness and avenues, roads and roadblocks that I have taken to find the real me. (35 plus years).

The me that I was born as. The me that is the all-knowing. I believe the search is endless and we are here to learn and to love and to share it all.

Tarot Wisdom

As I was preparing for sleep last night, I saw Tarot cards on my closet shelf. I decided to pull them out and ask 'what is my future, where am I heading'.

I picked three cards out of the pile by closing my eyes and running my palm right above the top of the cards until I felt heat.

This is what the three cards were and represented. "The Alchemical Tarot" by Rosemary Ellen Guiley & Robert M. Place"

1. Nine of Coins. "Nature provides for you. You may reap what you have sown. The message could relate to living off your investments, having more leisure time, or enjoying luxuries. You have life with ease. The card also shows that true health is provided by Nature - the world soul, or the Anima Mundi" (world soul).

2. Knight of Coins. "The knight represents someone who guards wealth or health, like an investment banker or healer. The message could suggest the need to look after your own health or wealth, or to get the advice of an expert who can act as a champion."

3. Nine of Swords. "You are experiencing needless fear arising from thoughts of impending doom. Negative thinking is creating the fear. There is a way out, however, if you can look past those fears. Or, perhaps you must confront them."

So, I wasn't entirely satisfied and I picked one more card.

4. Ten of Staffs. "You have been transformed by your experiences. You have been tested by fire, your old self has died away, and a new self is being born. You are renewed.

I was satisfied.

It reminds me of me talking about fear, health and following my inner knowing. I do have much fear about getting on with my life and starting to live a new chapter of me. I want to help others to know themselves and heal their lives to contentment and happy. I have been tested strongly (as we all have) and I am ready to renew, share, live and move through my fear and into living what I know inside of me. I do want to know my connection to nature and the world soul. I do want to live my life with ease.

I am ready.

What do you want for you today?

My Past Story

The first thing I would always tell a new doctor was 'my dad left me when I was 10'. He just disappeared, ran away. It was pretty awful for me. I thought it was my fault as most kids sometimes do. I thought I was unlovable. Years later, 20 maybe, I realized it wasn't just that my dad left me that affected my life, but also that my mom stayed. She stayed and I'll be forever grateful. However, her staying wasn't all peaches and creme. She was so hurt, so distraught, so frightened to raise three kids on her own and find a job that it was very hard for her to be there for me and my needs. I chose to shutdown, be quiet and try not to make it any harder on her as to not ask for much, or voice much, or need much.

Years later, in 11/12th grade, I noticed my fingers being really cold and hurting all the time. I noticed them turning purple and the pain was very 'loud'. Humorously enough, I had chosen to be a secretary and typing was a big part of my everyday. I loved it even. Fingers flying across the keyboard with as little mistakes as possible was the goal. I was pretty good at it. While in typing class, I remember putting my hands on my neck to try to warm them and make them feel better. I was naive enough then to think this must be happening to everyone.

Anyway, years went by and nobody was able to tell me why this was happening or what to do to make it better. Then, approximately 4 years later, I remember (what I felt) was little me sitting across from a really big doctor at his really big desk and him telling me I was allergic to myself. Of course, this was him describing to me what auto-immune meant. I had a disease called scleroderma and it could kill me (sometimes in as little as five years) and I would most likely be on medicine and have it for the rest of my life and there was nothing to change it.

Anyway, almost 30 years later, I've had my share of pain and I'm alive. I've had ulcerations on my fingers and I have lost most of my nails on both hands from lack of circulation and producing too much collagen. My hands are somewhat not a pretty sight and to hit something with one of my fingers by accident (well, I refer to the feeling as 'going to the moon).

When I was about 30, I started looking at alternative medicine and I tried anything that came across my path to try to stop the pain. I have tried many normal and not so normal 'ideas'. I sometimes do not believe at what lengths I went to try to ease my pain and suffering!

This is what has brought me here to this point in my life.

I'm grateful to be able to learn so much about myself and life and I wouldn't take it back (well, some days I might want to).

Something was telling me to blog. I really didn't know much about blogging - I am still a novice at best. Approximately 5 weeks ago, I sat at my computer and started typing.

I am surprised at where my blogs have led me. I thought I was trying to help others and that still is a big goal of mine. However, what I am finding out is that this is a great outlet for me.

A way to feel like I'm doing something. I told a friend this morning about my blog and I said that it's draining because I put everything out there and do not hold back as I post each individual blog; its fun because it does give me an outlet and I feel a little purpose in my life; and it's scary because I don't want anyone laughing at me or telling me that I am completely 'off my rocker'!
