Answering Leon In South Africa

eMail Notification Support

eMail Replies

Replying to eMails

It drives me a little nuts when people send me an email, asking a question that I’m happy to answer, only to have the eMail response bounced back because of an invalid eMail.  Ugh! That happened today.

Folks, I love answering eMail and trying to share information about something I’m passionate about in my life. But I can’t respond if you don’t tell me the right eMail address.

I try to research the eMail address to see if I can figure out where the mistake is. Usually the cause is a typeo, a .om where the c has been left out. Or mgail, where letters have been transposed. I can fix those and reply. But sometimes, not even I can solve the problem.

So I try to answer those eMail questions here, while still hiding the specific identity of the person who sent me the note. I hope that eventually the person recognizes that I’m talking about them and still receive their reply. So let me try that today for Leon. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - The Tower XVI Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

You already have the strength to endure and overcome. Stop worrying about running out of energy. Make the final push and move your rocket ship to the next level where you’ll be able to relax and get down to the real work you’re looking forward to taking on. It’s time for the final push. Make it happen with confidence.


Additional Insight:

When are you going to stop doubting yourself? Haven’t you proven you can get through the struggle and still succeed? When you get up and fight for what you want, you have made it happen and corrected the injustice for what you need.

Today is no different, but the challenges are not nearly as gloomy as you’ve seen in the past. Because today you know the answers and have a clear view of the path to get there. Stop allowing the fear of the past to bring up those internal nagging negative voices. They have no place in your Universe today.

Take the lessons you’ve learned and get things done. You know doing the final paperwork is what’s needed. Stop putting it off and putting other things in front of it. It’s not going to get solved by itself. You must stop making excuses and ignoring the tasks. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Knight of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Act the part as if you already have it and you’ll win the day with ovations galore. Sometimes making it happen is acting as if it already has. Whither it’s a new official position or simply a new role in your group or family, stand up and be proud of what you’ve accomplished and put that knowledge and skill to good use. You could end the day in triumph.


Additional Insight:

You have the skill and the knowledge to step into the role of your dreams. All you need to do is put your confidence into action. Change your attitude and keep your actions and words motivating and positive. But step into the position and make the most of the opportunity.

If you take time to ask for the ok to do it, it’s too late. And you don’t want to give someone time to think about your qualifications. You’ll only be giving them the chance to say no. Be careful at what authority you do take on, make sure you’re within your legal rights to do so. But today is a day to step-it up and be noticed.

Help solve the problem and turn the issue around. Don’t say “can I ask a question”, just ask it and work off the reply with confidence and authority. You can do this. You have the knowledge and experience to help solve the bigger issue and impress everyone with your input and guidance. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Cups – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Nine of Cups : Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

You can’t fill your cups with an attitude of despair. Change your perceptions. Your cups are building a sturdy and strong foundation to hold up barrels of abundance. Keep looking at the blessings you already have and focus on the confidence they instill in you. You’ll attract more of the same faith in things turning up good. And that will help make it happen. Be Blessed!


Additional Insight:

Cups represent the essence of Emotions & Apathy, Happiness & Despair, Abundance & Lack.

If you continue to feel overwhelmed and down trodden, that’s exactly what you’ll create in your own little world. You’ll attract more of that same energy and make it much harder on yourself to turn things around. Stop it! You’re better than that!

Look at the situations in your life with a different view. Find the positives and alternatives that exist in every situation. Even when you think you’re stopped dead in your tracks, the Divine is at work in your life. Trying to get you down a different path for opportunities you can’t see. Every zig has a zag and sometimes we need to make a move to open a door to something greater.

If you continually ignore the gentle nudges, sooner or later, the Divine will kick you in the pants and force you to move. And those situations are rarely good changes to go through. So don’t ignore the hidden signs and hints to move on. You could be saving yourself a lot of heart ache in the long run. Continue reading

Sunday Homily: Fake Friends Believe In Rumors

Love Is Love

Friendship Is…

Real Friends Believe In You

I saw this on a poster recently. It was talking about the stress and strain of being online and drowning in social media for kids and even some adults. How these new mediums of communication can  impact friendships and relationships.

Fake friends believe in rumors, real friends believe in you.

Some of you probably don’t know that my partner Garrett​ and I met online in an old AOL chat room. As soon as word got out that we were “seeing each other”, the online drama queens started their efforts to spread rumors to break us up.

It didn’t work, obviously. Because we talk. We talk a lot. We tell each other everything! Absolutely everything. And because we respect each other, we’re open, honest and trust each other implicitly. Continue reading

Faeries, Pixies and Sprites

Giggle Goddess Art

Giggle Goddess Art

From time to time, I’m asked to write a guest article for someone else’s blog or website. Last week I met Rhiannon, a lovely artist of faeries, mermaids and beautiful things. She wanted to inform readers about the fairies, mermaids and other magical beings that she often paints. I love doing things like this for other bloggers. I hope you’ll visit her site and bookmark her page.


The Magikal Faery Spirits Of Nature
by Springwolf D.D., Ph.D. for Rhiannon at Giggle Goddess Art

Pixie, leprechaun, faerie, brownie, sprite are all terms for mystical supernatural beings, thought to be helpful or harmful to people. These variations in name are often attributed to different cultures of the world using different languages to describe the same thing or similar mystical beings. From the Huldufólk in Iceland to the Tuatha Dé Danann in Ireland, and the Manitou of Native Americans, these are apparently intelligent entities that live unseen beside us. Faeries, Pixies and Sprites are generally small magikal beings that live amongst nature and are considered helpful when treated with respect. Brownies, Elves, and Leprechauns are larger beings that live in their own villages or mystical communities away from humans populations. They are known to play tricks on anyone outside their community, especially big people like you and me. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Magician – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti  - The Magician I - Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t simply give lip service to what you believe. Practice what you preach. You’re great at giving advice to others, how about taking some of that to heart. Look inside, peak under the glass and discover what you have to learn about yourself. It’s not as scary as you think and you will heal, grow and expand your awareness of the world around you.


Additional Insight:

It’s never to late to re-examine your choices and your life. We all should take time to see where we’ve been, where we came from, how much we’ve grown and how much we still have to go. Telling others to do this, but not doing it yourself, keeps you in a place of stagnation and frustration.

When you put patterns into your life to live your beliefs, they become part of you, part of who you are and what you are. Many people talk the talk of being a spiritual being. Some put their beliefs into practice once a week, or only when they’re conducting rituals. Many forget that walking a spiritual path means walking it every moment of your life. It’s not enough to give it lip service to impress your friends, or give yourself a false sense of “living right”. It means “Walking Your Talk”.

Pretending you don’t have issues to heal doesn’t make them go away. Nor does it allow you to overcome their long lasting effects on your life. It only means hiding the anchor that’s holding you back hoping no one else will notice it either. But just as you might be able to see the blocks others have put up in their lives, some can see the boulders you’ve created in your life. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Cups – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Seven of Cups Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Show your creativity and inspiration today. An upside down cup isn’t empty, it’s a rocket ready to blast off. It’s a crown ready to be warn. It’s a vessel with bubbles ready to be released beneath the water. Look at things differently today and those things you thought were problems will become exciting opportunities for fun! Get out and enjoy the day!


Additional Insight:

Change your perspective and you change your world. Get rid of the pessimism and look at your world from a brighter perspective. Set your imagination free and see the impossible becoming reality in your world. Let the optimism lift you up and carry you through solutions that bring forth more opportunity.

Constantly seeing the negative, or the “not enough”, or the “too late” only keeps you spinning your wheels in the mud. The world of “not” can never change or move forward. It only goes in a circle repeating the same messages, the same lessons and deplete your energy and resources.

Get rid of the self-doubt, the moments of being unsure or knowing where to start. Erase the rhetoric of the negative nay-sayers and life long doubters. You’ve already overcome expectations, so why continue to live in their world of fear and judgement. They only want you in their world so they can feel better about their own inaction and failure.

Instill in your soul the unlimited energy of Creation from the Universe. Whatever the Divine means to you, that connection you have with that force is always there for you. It’s always available and always offering to help those who keep trying to do better. “God helps those who help themselves”. Not those who constantly express the negative, it’s no use, give me a wish and make it happen for me attitudes.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Swords – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Seven of Swords - Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Let your adversary pack up their swords and sulk away. They lost the battle to control you and manipulate you to their will. There’s no need to chase after them to continue the battle. Let them go and don’t become jaded. Close the door on this chapter and look toward the clear skies that lay before you. Open your heart and mind to the loving possibilities that lay before you.


Additional Insight:

Remember that what you put out, you will get back. You’ve fought a good fight and you’ve won. There’s no need to decimate your enemy and break their spirit. Even if you think they deserve it. Their actions have created their own karma to deal with and they will answer for their actions. But don’t let it be by your hands.

You have more important things to do than to continue a war that’s already over. Walk away. Cut ties and move on. Your energy is better spent on healing and overcoming the harm that has been done. Don’t let the wounds become scars that always remind you of the past. Doing so will only keep you anchored in the pain of yesterday.

Close the gates on this chapter of your life and turn away from it’s negative impacts. Don’t hold a grudge against others you meet or expect them to react or do the same things as someone from your past. You’re not the same person today as you were then. And neither are those who are new to your world. Continue reading
