My interest in Tarot began years ago.  It amazed me how often the cards would find some hidden message or clearly show exactly how I was feeling at the time.

In 1999 I got my first tarot deck.  It was a dragon deck that spoke to me when I was searching through the many decks at a wonderful shop.  I began reading every book I could find and practicing with my deck of dragon cards.  It didn’t take long for me to want to know more and so I took classes on Tarot.  After those sessions I took another online class and with each class and each time I did a reading I learned more about how to receive the message the cards were giving.

Got the first of my projects finished for my website.  Right now I have about 4 things I am working on… and I know, I’ll make more headway if I focus on one and finish it… lol Though that is not generally how I do things.  Similar to creating art.  I often begin images as they come to me and then may add the finishing parts at another time when it feels right.

It was hard to decide on the title of this area of my website for in so many ways the things I will have under My Projects are much more than projects…. in some cases its like they are my lifes purpose or passions…  I think these will unfold as they are meant to and I am ready to trust the universe and let it… well maybe let it unfold is a bit understated because at the moment I feel the desire to run towards this part of my life….

Just as soon as I have a shower… It’s past mid day, and well think its time….

Be back soon….

It is perhaps little wonder that over the years I have been studying alternative methods of healing.  I have what many know as invisible disabilities.  It took years of pain, suffering, confusion, self-doubt, guilt, doctors appointments, specialists and all kinds of treatments to be finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and depression.

The pain goes back as far as my early childhood and the depression started in my teens.  I spent years beating myself up because I was different.  Even after diagnosis I would go through periods of denial and continue with the kinds of activity that would always result in the same end…. I would crash.  My body and mind would take over and leave me in a state I could not hide from.

It’s so exciting discovering how to connect on Twitter and getting to work on things that have been on the back burner for too long… like updating the “About Me” page.  Its so hard to decide what or how much to put there… but decided to just go with a short note and add things that I had on my first webpage back in 1997 – “things that make me smile.”  Its a great beginning!
