A Card Read for New Moon in Taurus. When An Oracle Card Brings Tears to Your Eyes.

This morning I pulled cards for the New Moon in Taurus. Perhaps you also feel this expansion that is happening underneath and within ourselves, though you can’t quite name it or know what it all means? The word TRUST comes up for me time and time again when I feel this. And it was Grandmother Prickly Pear Cactus that brought tears to my eyes.

After pulling cards and writing out my thoughts I felt this a universal message for all of us. So I offer it as a guide for you if you are in need of it with this summary:

Trust in this life of yours that continues to expand and evolve. Stay in connection with your inner self, while also allowing yourself to open more to the truth of who you are at your core. This requires being present and embracing one moment at a time – one step at a time – as the way  to being here and now while also moving forward to continually building a stronger foundation underneath, above, and within you. Listen and trust in your own intuition while staying open to the bigger picture to reveal itself. This time and as always, is about valuing and appreciating all aspects of you. It’s no longer comfortable to go with the ‘in crowd’ or shrink away in shyness as a way to protect oneself, but to embrace and love the spectacular you that is you – and that there no one else like you!

Wishing you a beautiful day and being all that makes your heart shine!

Cards used in this reading: Wisdom of the Oracle by Colette Baron – Reid, Animal Reflections Healing Oracle by me, Healing the Inner Child by Nina Mongendre, Cosmic Animal Cards by Tanya Casteel, and Song of the Grandmothers by Kara Simons.

Come On Inside Joyful Paws/Pause Cottage Studio to See What’s New…

It’s been many years now since my studio was featured on a local news station. Back then it was #shesheds that were all the rage and why a reporter had reached out to me for an interview and a tour.

The funny thing is my studio had been built long before it became a trend. So I guess I was ahead of the curve – though I didn’t know it! LOL

Since the construction of my studio back in 2009, I’ve evolved, as well as, my special space has morphed into supporting more dreams of mine which now all take place under this 10 x 12 roof.

It’s here I still write, though these days that is mostly blog posts and my newsletter. But it’s where I now also create Animal Oracle mixed media art, and facilitate Intuitive Oracle Readings for people and for people and their pets via Zoom.

So after I was sweetly nudged by another artist to share a video of my space, I created this updated video…

And you are cordially invited to come on inside! I hope you will enjoy! And when you are done, you can also check out the studio of the artist who nudged me to do a video…see below…

Here is a tour of Jules Chabeaux – wildlife artist – art studio…
