Yesterday, I asked for general cards for myself. New Life, number 39 from the Wisdom of the Oracle Pocket Divination Card deck was first to drop, though the second card also popped out at the exact same time. Happy, Happy, number 26.
Be ‘happy’ in your ‘new life' is what I felt right away. It was as if these 2 cards were one message.
By The Book, number 11. Made me smile because I have always said I was going to write a book. I have lots of poetry and many stories saved on a computer that I can’t access well. I have many stories in journals, I have many daily posts saved here and there. Hmmm. Organization has been the most interesting part of this process. Writing is the easy part. I am keeping track of many posts within FB as well as in my drive. I also have a blog. I did write a bit on Medium, but I was tired of the bots. I feel that way now about FB in many respects at the moment, which leads me to the last card, number 18, Serendipity.
So, if I put them all together, what do I hear, before I look at the guidebook?
‘Be happy in your new life, you can do things by the book, or follow the moments of serendipity!’
If we look at the results of following my intuition and coincidences that have occurred in my life, vs when I have done things by the book, I can see that listening to my intuition has always brought me to the highest and best outcome. When I tried to follow the “BOOK” and do things the way others wanted me to, life did not always work out the best. I usually had to swim back upstream a bit to make the decision I had originally wanted to make, Or I had to float down some huge rapids to smoother waters because I didn’t take the path around the horrible rocks. The consequences were harsh at times. Some of them have lasted a lifetime. Others are behind me.
Now that I am retired, my husband and I have lived by this guideline. If it brings you joy, do it. If it doesn’t, let it go. Living life by the book has not always brought joy and happiness. Living life by following the magical breadcrumbs has, because it is living life through serendipity.
The guidebook by Colette Baron-Reed in the New Life section confirms my gut feeling about this card. “When spring awakens the world, joy and excitement can be felt all around and within your very core.” It goes on to say this, “This is one of those times in your life when new ideas inspire you and new opportunities bring you hope for seeing your dreams come true.” Now that is a very interesting idea. What are my current dreams for my retired life? My ‘New Life’ is before me, what do I wish for? What are my guides leading me to do?
The Happy, Happy card, 26, seems like a good answer to those questions! In the essential meanings section the phrases are: “Joy and contentment; a sense of fulfillment; a feeling that all is well.” Seeing the word ‘joy’ brought goosebumps to my soul. “Your happiness is a result of your being at one with Spirit’s plan for your life.” The Prosperity Message section says a lot that I radiate with, but this last sentence sums it all up. Your soul has always known you could accomplish anything if it brought you joy.” Wow, talk about synchronicity and confirmation that I am on the right path. More magical goose bumps.
Yesterday, we met the new neighbors. They are about the same age that we were when we moved into the neighborhood, way back in 1998. While we were talking, we told them that we are retired and live by the mantra that ‘If it brings us joy, we do it, if it doesn't we don’t do it.’ They looked at each other and back at us. One of them said, “Wow, I love that philosophy. I am going to remember that!”
The card, By The Book. “Essential meanings: Abiding by social rules; conformity; respecting cultural or family customs; universal laws.” Ok, that was not unexpected, so I kept reading. The Oracle’s message talked about each of these in depth but it didn’t fill me with inspiration until I read these two sentences: “Release resistance, for universal laws will correct any disharmony. Open your eyes to these universal laws, and it will be easier to go by the book at this time.” Ok, what the heck are the universal laws they just told me about? I need to look at those again, so I reread them. Here they are: “The Law of Abundance. The Law of Prayer. The Law of Karma. The Law of Attraction. The Law of Thought. The Law of Compensation. The Law of Nature.” She says that these are only a few of the laws that are known. So apparently there are more.
This card gives me hope in this time of ‘disharmony’ in the country. I have been feeling anxiety and yes, resistance. By letting go and trusting the universe to “fix” this, through the universal laws feels like a huge weight is off my heart. My responsibility is to live in joy, be happy, trust the universe and follow the feel.
Let’s see what Serendipity brings to the conversation. Essential meanings: Opportunity allied with readiness; the awareness of synchronicity; luck and good fortune appearing as signs and symbols; a magical alignment of events.” Do I need to read more?
Opportunity, synchronicity, signs and magical events all are words I use frequently, so this card definitely radiates with my soul. I continued reading and realized quickly that I did indeed need to keep reading. As it turns out, this is a card I need to tattoo on my heart and soul. These 2 sentences are not all of the message, but it does share the essence of it. “Everything you bring into being now, will leave a wondrous legacy for others in the future. Your service to the world is being supported at this time.”
There are days that I feel like I need to write, but there are also days when I don’t feel like it. There are days I need to play with my puppy or with one of the horses. There are days when I believe it is important to cut, split and stack wood. I have been dancing and laughing more and more. Following the feel and writing about it or doing what is very new to me, creating a spiritual video, must all be part of my pre-birth plan that I have been following all of my life. I have not been able to follow it completely to a T, but I don’t think any of us do. The key is to get back on the path as soon as we can because the Universal Laws have been put into place here on earth to help us along the way. I get to trust that those laws are all at work to create harmony in my life and yours.
As I write these words, my energy just shifted. I felt a peace and calm come over me. Our dear sweet Miss Tilly Bear woke up from her nap, and would like my attention. So, with that I will close out this post with love and light.
Manifest a magical day or more!
