Be U: House of (Tarot) Cards

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.

House of (Tarot) Cards

I am 'working it' to see how close I can get to owning a home that feels like it was possibly made for me here in the Florida, USA, sunshine.

I went to the book "The Alchemical Tarot" by Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Robert M. Place to see what cards would jump out at me when asked the question - Can I make this wonderful house my own? Will I possibly be this lucky to make it work?

The three cards 'read' as follows:

5 of Swords
"Tarot Wisdom: Make the best of a bad situation. Things can be fixed: you can change your life through work, action, and positive thinking. The message also points to reclaiming losses. Or, it suggests to striking while the iron is hot - there is a right time to take action in every situation."

Lady of Staffs
"Tarot Wisdom: You are fascinated by light and energy, and have a sense of appreciation and wonder. You have mastered the art of graceful movement in all ways. You are well suited to start an endeavor in a new area, to make the desert bloom."

King of Swords
"Tarot Wisdom: You have a deep-seated inner confidence. This is true inner strength that does not have to be displayed. Your communication is clear and decisive; you are not afraid to speak your mind. You are capable of choosing whether or not to respond to the prompts of others, and to separate false preconceptions from fact."

I then continued on to pick a playing card. It was the five of diamonds. From serenapowers.com, It reads: "Five: Success in business. Happy family."

Do I know if I will 'win' the bid on this house and make it work? No. Do I have great hope that I will? Yes. Is it a hoot how I can 'hear' things in the above tarot and playing card "wisdom"... You bet.

Only when it plays out and happens or doesn't happen will I know for sure. In the meantime, I am working it as best I possibly can to make this dream become a reality. I am open to it working out. I understand the reality that it may not. And, if it is supposed to be mine, it will. Just wait to you see MY new driveway!!!

May you believe in your dreams and 'work them' to the furthest point that you can reach.

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'!
