I've been spending more time out of the "office" here on 76 1st Ave, and more time doing phone readings. Good weeks have me working 7 days, and doing a reading or two every day, over the phone. I've been out of the shop because I threw out my back, and have been a lot of pain for most of the month. So, this weekend, I've come back in definitively, and things feel...better.
The energy isn't all over the place. Meredith seems...renewed. She's going through a giant transformation, and I feel like all the help and support I've been providing both behind the scenes, and up front has been taking hold. I harbored a lot of anger and resentment, throughout the late summer-into fall. but I sense such a change here, with her, and with the energy in the shop, that it has become a place of serenity for me again, like it was last winter.
I don't technically even have to be here, right now, I get most of my business doing house calls, phone, and internet readings, but damn does it feel good to have a base of operations that isn't my bedroom. It feels good again, to show up here, light all my candles, pound out some incense and just "go to work" I needed a break, Meredith needed a break from me. As of today, all is well here, and I feel like we're on the path to bigger and better things.
Tarot itself became a little tired for me. Using the same decks and repeating the same things, it becomes a little stale. Around the new year, I picked up the Lenormand system, and it fits like a glove. This feels like a natural progression, that enhances what I do. I'm still using the books and studying the cards, but it definitely feels natural and I'm taking to very well. Already, for my personal questions, I'm turning more towards the Lenormand than tarot.
I think, this year, I really want to pick up astrology too. A customer-friend is interested in starting to learn it, and I bought her a great book for Christmas. Luiz also has that book, and I just might poach it, and tackle astrology head on once and for all.
