Today was stressful. I felt the full force of fear and uncertainty and grief and loneliness. But, when I was outside, a weight lifted. I looked up at the clouds. I felt the spirits of my mother and father. The memory of their love brings me solace on the worst days. Nature's beauty is endlessly soothing.



I'm pulling a tarot card almost every day. The 9 of Pentacles is a favorite. She is the ultimate image of female sovereignty. A woman in her garden, standing in her full power. She knows her worth. I want to be like her.
