Another piece of me is free

Sometimes playing at home really is better than going out!

It was way too cold for me to venture outside today. Frigid temperatures and my angina-riddled heart really don’t get along and I’ve learned to be respectful of that fact. So in order to have my play-time today for the Wonder Woman Challenge, I ended up spending an hour alone in my room with the door shut. Just the act of physically shutting out the rest of the house and saying I didn’t want to be disturbed was really freeing for me!

sacredpathcardsI had been going through more boxes in the morning and shredding stuff, and had come across a cedar box filled with my Sacred Path cards. I hadn’t touched the cards in almost ten years, and when I opened the box and saw them and smelled the cedar there was a real sense of homecoming. I couldn’t believe that I’ve lived in a city for so long that I’d forgotten what cedar smelled like, and how much I loved the smell.

So when I went in for my hour of alone time, I took the cards from the box and decided to spend my play time getting reacquainted with them. That I hadn’t touched them in so long is a real testament to just how far I have strayed from my right path. (No, that’s not a good thing, just in case you were wondering.) I can’t tell you how much joy I felt when I picked up the cards to do a reading and felt the familiar tingles of energy in my fingertips. And the messages I got from the reading were right on too!

After I finished the reading and recorded it in my journal, I sat quietly and meditated on what I’d learned. Of course, I fell asleep during my meditation and had the best, most restful sleep I’ve had in awhile. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon that opened up another piece of me to be set free — one that had been shut away for much too long!
