4 October: Two of Cups Share your joy with those around you. You never know what meaningful connections you will make. #tarot

There are FORTY-TWO gorgeous flashes in Ghost Parachute's 10th anniversary issue and you should read them all. I'm about 3/4th of the way through. Very grateful to be included with my piece, "Archaeology," which I'd love for you to read while you're at it. 💙 ghostparachute.com/issue/octobe...

IN OTHER STORIES has been published three times. 9 writers are featured in all editions. Why do these flash writers, both fiction and non-fiction, consistently show up in my yes pile? The link to my conversation with Nontobeko Mtshali (one of the 9) is in the comments or follow the link in my bio.

24 September: the Lovers & the Queen of Cups The Lovers: where are the connections you need to make between opposites? How can you bring them into balance? Queen of Cups: how well have your emotions have been serving you lately? Time to move past the surface and go deeper. #tarot

23 Sept: Ace of Swords Something is beginning. It could be mental clarity, a spiritual breakthrough or a life changing idea. It is time to pay attention and see things how they really are. To be honest. This is the energy of force and courage. #tarot #aceofswords

22 September: Seven of Swords Going your own way and creating your own possibilities. Independence. Stay aware of deception and betrayal. Act from a place of love and integrity. Also ask: am I being honest about the nature of my reality right now? #tarot #sevenofswords #7ofswords

3 July: Judgement The only approval that matters is your own. The only judgement that matters is your own. Are you being too hard on yourself Accept yourself for who you are. Accept the situation for what it is. Move forward. Let the Karma land - wise words said to me recently. #tarot #judgement
