Tomorrow's the big day!! 🥳 In 24 hours I'll be launching the new Inch by Inch Tarot Website and opening my calendar for Tarot readings! 🔮 I can't wait to share this beautiful site that .bliss designed, featuring all the photos taken by ! 😘

Literally pulled this card right after I finished writing a packing list ✍🏻 for my weekend away at a knitting retreat! 🧶​​​​​​​​
What are the chances? 🌈

You know its time to listen when you have been getting the same message from many sources in a short period of time! 🔮 I have been feeling disheartened (and a bit angry if I'm honest) because my feel-good show, the British Antiques Roadshow 🪑, triggered my rage around how society treats women. Generally, I don't like how the experts on the show sexualize paintings and sculptures depicting nudes or semi-clad women. Recently, I was pushed past my breaking point when the male judge critiqued the woman portrayed in a painting 🖼 as "hefty." Never mind that she CLEARLY was not hefty in the slightest....I am incensed that the size or shape of her body is considered relevant to the quality, beauty or value of the painting! 😡. To make matters worse, the woman who owned the painting just nodded in agreement, clearly internalizing, as I did, that the woman being described as "too chunky" was thinner than she was, but going along because we are also taught not to create conflict or make waves 🌊 lest we seem "crazy." In the aftermath of this feeling I got several messages from the universe 🌎 that I should learn to draw ✏️ figures in order to create the images that I wish to see--women in all our glorious variety, fully in our power.💥 I remembered a life-drawing class offered online by an anti-diet group . Then an acquaintance, with no context, randomly asked if I'd ever taken any art classes! I googled art classes in my area, and found a life-drawing class just a couple blocks away starting in June! I chatted with a sweet neighbor who turns out to be an art teacher. And then the icing on the cake, today I pulled my King of Cups, Bob Ross! 🎨 This card isn't a literal message to go out and paint, but to take your imagination, creativity, and self-expression and put it at the center of your life. It's about sharing your "soul's work" from a place of humble leadership. Say no more, universe! I hear you!

On a lazy weekend morning, I had the time and attention to do another three-card reading. 🔮 Without a burning issue to address, I chose this set of prompts that are general and create a lovely focus for the day! ☀️.

On this Saturday morning, I was wondering/feeling some self-imposed stress over what I should do today. 🤔 Should I force an outing? Should I get things done? Since life is precious, I didn't want to risk wasting a minute of it doing a sub-optimal thing! 😂 Anyway, I decided to and got 🔮 Seven of Cups is the card of daydreaming. 🌈 It is a reminder that it's okay to stop putting plans into action, and spend some time in your imagination. My card description even mentions slipping on some headphones and letting the music 🎼 transport you to this magical space! Just yesterday I mentioned to someone my intention to listen to more music and give my thoughts time to wander! 💭 So, if you're looking for me today, I might be off in my own little world, listening to some tunes 🎧 and enjoying some productive daydreaming. 🌈💜
