Who me???

I usually pride myself on being aware of what is uncomfortable in my life and releasing the person, thought, old belief or situation that created that discomfort. I’ve worked hard and done my homework on this awareness…or so I thought!

Recently I was caught in a new helping relationship that turned into a more draining situation for me. I felt the discomfort, the knot in my stomach, but ignored it saying that I was being compassionate and helpful to this person. Here’s another place where I did not pay attention to the cord that was becoming attached to me for the benefit of the other person.

Uncomfortable relationships which are unbalanced, emotionally draining, pulling you into something without consent are not healthy. I felt the dis-ease. Relationships should not be out of obligation but out of love, joy and compassion.

It became important to my own physical, emotional and spiritual health to not only sever the relationship, but to cut the cord that was attached to me. Severing the relationship took a phone call, but cutting the cord was done in meditation. I could feel the ache of the attachment just below the breast bone at the stomach. I visualized it, saw it, and detached it while breathing and setting the intention of freedom and everything working out for the highest good of all. And then healing can take place.

Was it difficult to do? Yes! But, my choice was to be loving and compassionate to me.

Will it happen again? Probably! But in awareness, I know I have a choice. And having a choice leaves me empowered. That’s why my motto is:

Helping you find the ACE in the Deck of Life: Awareness, Choice, Empowerment

And now I just have to practice what I preach as my Nana used to say!!

And the Summer Solstice Special is still on! The Summer Solstice occurs on my grandmother’s, Nana’s, birthday, June 21. Check out this special here: http://theclaritycreator.com/summer-solstice-special/

Do you have some unwanted cords that are still attached? Let’s cut the cords and see where you shine!!

Spring Clearing

Today the Spring Cleaning Special offered on my website comes to a close. In many ways, the readings have been about Spring Clearing in your home which in Tarot and Astrology can also mean the home of YOU.

Clearing is not about picking up the socks and shoes left by the couch or the errant toys left when a new game catches your child’s eye. It’s not about pointing fingers at who has been the cause of the clutter or fixing things that are broken…although these are very concrete issues that are in your face at home.

Spring Clearing in this sense is more about taking advantage of the opportunity to bring balance to areas of your life and your home that can cause imbalance. This Spring Clearing may not even be carried out with a firm plan. The clearing may be a journey where you just follow the signs of where to go next, but it starts with YOU. I know I’m really good at this wandering tactic!

One of the difficulties I have in clearing is that I look at the whole picture and I’m over-whelmed. I’m so over-whelmed that I don’t start. If this is going to be such a stressful job, then I should just let it go and live in the negative energy produced by the personal clutter whether in me or my home.

The very deliberate act of taking one thing at a time eventually leads to completion of the larger picture. And you can guess that I’m not just talking about your home, but those things within ourselves that no longer serve us, no longer are needed and have outworn their being part of who we are. Not surprisingly, this was the theme of many of the Spring Cleaning readings this past month.

Don’t be surprised if Spring Clearing brings up some dust in the corners that you missed the first time around. It can affect your mood, make you cranky and overwrought. I call this “Different levels of done.” You can’t see what’s under each layer until you clear what is above it. My experience has been to see and feel some BIG surprises that I never expected as affecting me negatively. It’s amazing what we carry around without awareness. Whew!!

It can lead you to that place of negative self-talk. “I don’t know how to do this well!” “I’m not good at this!” “It’s not going to go right so I won’t even start!” I get really good at this at times by including “I’m not good enough.” “Look how wonderful she/he is at doing this. I can’t compete with that, so why try!”

So let’s just start with one little space and clear. Be sure to breathe, deep chest/belly breaths, and move ahead. Charge into the space whether in your home or the home of YOU. You can do this!!

My Spring Cleaning intuitive special will expire today, but if you mention this blog, it will still be active for you! Just message me here on the website http://theclaritycreator.com/contact/ .

Don’t miss out and see just where this clearing journey leads, lighten the load that you carry and see what’s really out there for YOU.

Remember, YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Time for Spring Cleaning

Here we are with the New Moon Solar Eclipse, a Super Moon, and the Spring or Vernal Equinox tomorrow. We’ve also been experiencing the last of the Pluto/Uranus Squares that has been happening for the past several years. We are on a road for change both personally and globally. Before you think I’m only gloom and doom here, please stop that thought!! It’s just the way life works…anytime we have changes in our life, it is preceded by a happening that causes us to make the change. And in my life, as painful as the event was, it always lead me to a better place which was one of gratitude, peace and happiness.

The changes occurring in our lives, whether jobs, money, love/relationships, home, family, you name it, are really about spring cleaning. We are getting rid of those things that we don’t need anymore. We thought we needed them, but they are only taking up space. Think of closets or a garage or an attic. In essence we are shedding our skin, cleaning house, releasing negative influences, whatever term we want to use, it is happening now as we release the past, come out of the darkness of Winter into the rebirth of Spring. It has become very clear that it’s time to let go of whatever no longer serves us as we move forward in life to become more of service to ourselves and others, and to find and follow our purpose. We don’t have to question it….it’s in our face!! I think of the Tower Tarot card here as life appears to be falling apart.

Once you’ve released the limitations on your life, you have the space for the new visions, dreams, and thought patterns that have been there all along. What are those dreams? Your imagination has no limits so what have you imagined your life to be? You know the answer to these questions, but have you considered them out of reach?

So, start with you list of intentions in this new life. You are on fertile ground here so make this the BIG DREAM list. Don’t hold back. You’ve learned from the past and you are now at a place for a new beginning! The Vernal Equinox is the New Year of the Zodiac. Choose wisely and choose BIG!! Because it is all about to come together when you make the commitment!!

You may have questions about the direction you are to take at the moment or how to handle the changes or the process. Where am I going? What are the choices? As an intuitive TarotAstrologist, my readings will show you the choices that you have and help guide you in your decisions. Tarot and Astrology are amazing tools for guidance, awareness and choice. When you combine all these together, you are empowered. You are the Alchemist or Magician Tarot card now putting all the pieces together to create something new and exciting!

Feeling empowered or feeling a bit lost or indecisive? Message me on my website, facebook page or donna@theclaritycreator.com. Let’s work together to make the positive aspects of your life lead you to empowerment, joy, love, fulfillment, and happiness! You are MAGIC!!

Happy Solstice!

Love is in the Air: Valentine’s Day

Ahhhhh, February, the month of the Heart, Relationships and Love. We see the ads on television, radio and the internet. Send flowers, candy, greeting cards and go out to dinner. The advertisers are having a good month and give us many ways to spend money for Valentine’s Day.

But, what is the real heartfelt importance of the day or the month or anytime of the year? The heart is about love and that love can be with or without a significant other in your life. To be able to love another unconditionally, we have to love ourselves unconditionally first. And that is no easy task! We are usually hardest on ourselves while we have great patience and understanding with others. What if we choose to do that for ourselves?

How do we talk to ourselves? With love? With disdain? With acceptance? With blame? We are what we seek in life. If we love ourselves and speak kindly to ourselves, then that’s exactly what we will attract in our life.

Again, it all sounds so simple. But, it really takes hard work and mindfulness. Just the other day I was cleaning up on my porch. I was moving some of the plants so that I could sweep up the dead leaves and dirt. I hit one of the pots, it fell to the tile, and broke into more than a dozen pieces. I had an unpleasant name for myself which I will not repeat here. Then, I stopped!! Here I am explaining to you about being kind to yourself and I just called myself something truly ugly! So how do I expect to be treated with kindness, love and respect if I can’t treat myself in the same way?

In this month of Love, this Valentine’s Day, you have the opportunity for freedom. That’s the freedom to live your life with unconditional love. How do you do that?? One way is to sign up for the Valentine’s Day BOGO this month at TaroAstrologist.com or message me on my facebook page. Learn more about yourself through the twelve houses of the astrology chart. Learn about your Sun Sign, Rising Sign and Moon Sign and how these are part of your personality. You’ll even enjoy hearing about your Native American Animal Symbol. Get two for the price of one. Keep them both for yourself or share with a loved one.

I look forward to hearing from you. I look forward to helping you live with freedom. With Freedom, we can love unconditionally.

Happy Valentine’s Day with Love,

Donna

Good-Bye 2014, Welcome 2015

It is an interesting day, this day of December 31, 2014. I picked up the pitcher that has been on my counter for the past year. I’ve been filling it throughout 2014 with little notes describing the miracles, blessings and gifts that I have received. Yes, I am thankful for all that has happened, but I sat in wonder and amazement at the number of small pieces of paper with descriptions of gratitude. WOW!!! I didn’t remember it had been so awesome and abundant.

Abundance comes in many forms. It doesn’t just have to be about money or what material thing you receive. It’s about the new friendships, releasing of fears, growth in love, spirituality and trust in the guidance that is being given. It’s about learning something new and not resting in what is comfortable. It’s about starting a business when you never thought that could ever happen and it wasn’t even on your radar. It’s about clearing and releasing the old to allow for all the new, unexpected, surprising and synchronistic people, things and events to appear.

I started with a list of intentions for 2014 and I’ve reviewed them along with my little notes of gratitude in my 2014 pitcher. And the only thing I can say is THANK YOU, I am blessed!!

I decided that I would pull one card from the John Holland deck and it was “Rejoice in Celebration”! It couldn’t be more perfect for all the gifts of 2014 and the anticipation and excitement of 2015!

So what is your intention list for 2015? As you review 2014, what is on your gratitude list? Sometimes it’s just good to review where we’ve come and where we want to go. There’s no better time to do that than New Year’s Eve.

Is this the job I love and allows me to live the life I have always wanted?
Is this the relationship that makes me happy because it is based on unconditional love?
Am I traveling to places I have always dreamed to see and experience?
Are my family relationships fulfilling and loving?
Am I living a healthy lifestyle?

Sometimes we just need some clarification on where we’re going and what our heart is telling us. If that is something that you desire, then I am here to help you along this journey. You can message me here on the website, TaroAstrologist.com.

But, most importantly, be thankful and Rejoice in Celebration! It is a new year!

Sending love and wishing you all the blessings and abundance of love, health, wealth, and creative self-expression for 2015 so that your gratitude pitcher is overflowing!!

Disappointing Holidays??? NOPE!!

December is a busy month full of various celebrations depending on religion, culture and tradition. Gatherings of friends and family, surrounded by food and drink are just part of the fun. Decorating, shopping and endless errands are part of it all as well. How do we keep up with all the activities and still stay centered in the joy of the season?

Decide what you want this holiday to be like. Set the intention and hold that focus. There will be many opportunities to stray from your intention, trust me!! One way is to accept that not everything is perfect. Slow down and enjoy the moment. Those imperfections will give us some good stories in the future and many good laughs. Let me tell you about the holiday that we had a houseful of family and…… I’ll save that for another time!

Stay within your budget this holiday. Nothing is a holiday downer like spending money and thinking about the post-holiday debt at the same time. A gift doesn’t have to be extravagant because it’s the meaning of the gift and not the gift. Think about it. What were some of the most memorable gifts you have received in the past? The cards or ornaments made by children? The special holiday foods made with love? The most cherished gifts are the ones given with love and not about the amount spent to purchase them.

Holidays somehow bring out a change in behavior. I know you have someone around you that seems to make this major attitude shift with the holidays. Most of the time there is an underlying hurt that causes the acting out. Their behavior can be painful for you as well as for them. Many times it’s the people closest to us creating the drama. Forgiveness goes a long, long way. We can’t change anyone, but we can change how we react to the behavior. Forgive, even give a hug, and move on.

It’s a season of love, lights, gifts, delicious aromas, and stress. So BREATHE! Breathe and center yourself as you walk into that crowded store, party or family gathering. Breathe when that one person begins to push your buttons. Breathe when you get ready to spend a lot of money on a gift because you’re “supposed to”. Just breathe, honor yourself and those around you and be true to the meaning of the season…LOVE, PEACE and JOY.

And spread some of that Love, Peace and Joy around. You’ll be surprised at the return!!!!

Sending you Peace and Love and may all you holiday dreams, wishes and desires come true!!!
