Hello! I hope you’re well. Today, I am writing from my dining room table. I just finished eating my sourdough toast with guacamole and a scrambled egg sprinkled lightly with oregano, cilantro, and garlic salt. I also had my Herbalife raspberry tea. So, yes, a lot of changes have been made in regards to my eating habits and what I put into my body. Slowly but surely listening to my inner voice and feelings and its what my body has been signaling me to do. To make a change. But, this is for another post. Today, I want to talk to you about one of the most beautiful oracle cards that I own. Let’s get right in to it!

I purchased these cards at my local Barnes & Noble. I love to be able to go to a book store and see and touch the cards before purchasing. And I recall having made a few trips to check some out before making the purchase. I paid around $30 for these and don’t regret the purchase. Whenever I set out to buy any cards or spiritual materials, I try to set the intent that they will choose me. And that’s what happened with these.

The deck comes with a beautiful turquoise and gold protective sleeve to protect the white and gold box that stores the card and the companion book.

The oracle card box (has magnetic closure) matches the protective sleeve. The companion book is similar.

Look at the texture, and the detailing in the gold foliage. I just looooove the colors. Are you ready to see the designs on some of the cards themselves?

See what I mean? The illustrator really did Danielle Noel did an amazing job! The quality of the cards is great. Sturdy and strong and colorful. The same goes for the pages of the companion book. The book comes very well organized. The introduction page talks about the author of the deck Sahara Rose and mentions her other works of literature. The contents are alphabetized in sequential and alphabetical order. And the cards has groups. These groups are Spirituality, Ayurveda, Chakras, Yoga, and Deities.

In the book, each card gets their own full page spreads explaining both upright and reverse interpretations of the card. Remember, every reader does things differently. Some read the cards only in upright positions. Some do both.

I highly recommend this deck!

Love and light always, Cin.

On Sunday I accompanied a friend of mine to a local Holistic Fair. It was my third time attending one. There’s another one coming up in December, and we will be going to that one. It’s a breath of fresh air to know a friend that would go with me to these. I’ve been blessed with great friends over the years and they all know who they are. I don’t have to have the same beliefs as everyone in my life, but it is a breath of fresh air having conversations with the ones that are on the same page as I am. We teach each other., and remind each other that we are more than this Human experience.

For example, I have a best friend that lives several States away from me. And over the years both of our beliefs in things have evolved, and now we find ourselves believing and feeling some of the same things. Its great being able to open up to someone and them understanding, hearing you, and feeling what you’re saying. And then having them come back with something else that will have me thinking and wanting to learn more.

Along the way (your journey), you might also lose some friendships. Or move on from them, and that too is okay. I don’t have any past friendships that have ended with us on bad terms. It has always been love. Just from afar. And I have reconnected again with some of those same friends, and we are back on track as if we never hit the Pause button. I am also not the person to share all of your stories, and business because we are on Pause. I cherish them, and hold them close to my heart. I say this because I am at this moment again. I am reevaluating the friendships in my life. And have made the heart conscious decision of stepping back and hitting Pause on my end. It is something that has been tugging at my heart the last few months. Friendships shouldn’t be so damn hard. They shouldn’t have you begging to spend time with them because you’re hurting and need a shoulder or ears to listen. It should come naturally. I also refuse to shrink myself and my beliefs because they make you uncomfortable or challenge your own. I’ll say it again, I REFUSE. And I won’t so I am vowing out or hitting Pause. Now, my question to myself is Should I notify this friend or just quietly bow out?

What do you suggest?

To those friendships on Pause, and the ones on Play… Thank you.

Love and Light always, Cin.
