After tonight's class, I realized I need to have a little fun. I had been working on my taxes amongst other things today. So I asked the fairies with my fairy deck to give me something fun to do. The lovely thing is that they gave us something fun for everyone. I'll share the fun part on the new moon. For it is a magical task for the new moon. The only hint I'm going to give you is.You will need an orange candle. See Friday for some magical fun.

Every morning a pull a rune to guide me or warn me. Runes are different from card pulls. They give direction for what the day might bring. This morning I wasn't happy to see thurisaz. My first thought was oh no not another storm. Even though it has several meanings when it's just the one rune, I always read thurisaz as thorn. Today for some reason looking at thurisaz I saw halgaz. Usually I interpret thurisaz as something sharp is coming but today was different. I had to shake off the feeling of a storm coming. It wasn't halgaz it was thurisaz. Then, likely for the first time I realized that the thorn wasn't pointing at me (as it would be if the rune were reversed). I realized that it was telling me that my boundaries were strengthened by my determination. Thor's hammer is brute force but I knew that the bull headed taurus in me was being called not to force things, not to wield the hammer but to wear the thorn. I've spent much of my life wielding anger as a weapon thinking it was a shield. I thought anger was protecting me. The truth is I don't need anger to protect me. The thorn protects the rose. It doesn't keep people from finding the beauty in the rose. It just reminds them to be gentle and careful when the do. Thurisaz offered that reminder today. I can use the thorn as a shield without pushing people away. It becomes the thorn that reminds people that I am a rose. Beautiful, protected and respected. I'm curious. What does thurisaz say to you today?

This seems like a good message for the day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NowdnRDcVBc&list=RDNowdnRDcVBc&start_radio=1

A lot of people quit too early… Not because it’s impossible, but because they haven’t heard “yes” yet. But the truth is one opportunity, one client, one breakthrough… can change everything. Stay consistent. Keep showing up. Your “yes” is out there. What are you doing today to get closer to it?
