Covid
Anyone else dislike covid-19 aside from myself? I mean seriously think about it. It's still a potential risk. Our entire culture has had to change because of it. It severely affects our seniors, children, and everyone with preexisting conditions. Yes, it still affects everyone else in the world too, but those are the less likely to survive it if they catch it. We did a complete 180 on the idea of wearing masks. Now it's a regular thing. At one time it was completely forbidden inside most stores, theatres, and many other places. People that would cause shooting typically wore a mask of some kind. Now everyone is wearing them.

Stress Is Real.
I've been trying to manage my own stress for months. In the beginning, I tried to fight it - mostly, by adding more activities to my already frantic routine. I was teaching three classes online (with students in different time zones), working on projects with two committees at my university, taking two online classes for faculty development, and volunteering as a mentor for a special program. And because I wanted to be healthier, I decided to start cooking all of my own meals using one of the (in)famous meal delivery options that are now available.

My Brush With Athletic Greatness
I should start off by saying that I am phenomenally uncoordinated. At the age of five, I was drummed out of my ballet/tap class by the stern but kind teacher who said, “I’m afraid there’s not much we can do with her,” to my mother right in front of me as she refunded the not unsizable tuition.

Diet Drinks Are Just As Bad For You As Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
Diet drinks are sold as sugar-free, zero-calorie, low-calorie drinks, light drinks, artificially sweetened versions of carbonated beverages with virtually no calories. Many people think those drinks are better for them than sugar-sweetened beverages. However, diet drinks as just as bad.

Free Weekly Reading #51 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 a 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”.
