Free Reading #5 for 2021 Mirror Dragon Tarot
Each week when I do these readings I set up my reading space with black fabric, (for the photo, mostly but it also allows for and smooth, calm space to focus on the cards) make sure I have undisturbed quiet time; dogs are out, husband is at work/play/store/whatever, phone is off, etc… I begin with a quick grounding meditation and settle into a centered peace to ask for guidance in choosing the cards which will be most appropriate for the week ahead. I shuffle the cards with my intent in mind and spread them in a dealer’s “ribbon spread”. Then with eyes closed, I ask for the Center card, the West card and finally, the East card, reaching out to the spread, touching the cards and choosing the one that feels most fully under my finger tip, then sliding them into their positions. Before opening my eyes I return to a calm, centered state and do my best to sense whether the three cards I’ve chosen are the most fitting for the highest and best for all involved. Only then do I turn them face up and photograph them for the reading. There are times when I see the three cards before me and groan or breathe a sigh of relief but I always use the cards I’ve selected ”blindly”.

Is Intelligence at Odds With Wisdom?
There is a mysticism surrounding the concept of wisdom. Yet, wisdom wherever manifest seems to be simply knowledge. How else is it gained through things like life-experience? The effect of this knowledge is that it is applicable in every situation of general understanding: It is marked by general application, not technicality or specificity. Though one must be exceedingly intelligent to become an ophthalmologist, they mustn’t necessarily gain wisdom, for the information required for this profession isn’t relevant to life at large.

Half the Man I Used to Be
I don’t remember when my weight started to be an issue. I weighed just over 100 pounds by the time I was 10. I was proud of being triple digits and told a friend — he commented “wow, you’re fat.” I had thought I was “husky.” It was then that I realized the word my parents had used when discussing my size meant fat.

Embrace Your Solitude
Alone time may sound scary but, it is a chance to recharge. I am an introverted extrovert so, as much as I thrive in a social setting I embrace my alone time. During my time of solitude the world slows down and I do things I enjoy. Alone time gives you a chance to practice self-care. You have a chance to improve your mind and focus on your needs. To some, alone time can cause anxiety at first. Being by yourself with your thoughts can be intimidating but, it offers a space to combat your thoughts.

The One Reason You Should Definitely Move Into an Over 55 Community
Like many of you, as we neared retirement, we started thinking about downsizing. We talked about a smaller house somewhere, and even though we had never lived in one, we thought about condos and townhomes.

Is Telehealth the Future of Medicine?
Recently I had my first appointment with my neurologist that was done via phone. I couldn't go into his office and see him because of an increase in coronavirus cases in my area. It went ok, it actually took less time than a regular visit because there was less waiting and I didn't have to fill out the normal paperwork.
