May 19th, 2014 - Monday - The Hermit - Good Morning Monday! How you all feeling after this weekend? It should have been good restful weekend. Coming up though... we have a BIG week. And the card we pulled is the Hermit, which is telling us that we need to focus on ourselves as we move into this new energy. We need to deal with our own shadows, our own demons today and that theme will be reflected throughout the week. We generally can move OUTWARD or we can move INWARD on our journeys, but it is the INWARD journey that you are being called to take today and throughout this week. It's okay if you feel selfish, but the answer is take care of yourself first. You know the drill in the airline video, where they say if the oxygen mask drops you should secure your own mask first THEN your children's? That's what is happening this week. Compassion, love, service....all of that might need to be shuffled to the side today so you can fix your own leaky boat. Consider this analogy: If you were in a shipwreck and floating in the ocean with 50 other people, how useful would compassion, love and service be? Not very. What you would need to do first is secure a boat or a floating device that could hold you. Once you did that... THEN you could start paddling around and helping people still in the water.
It seems counter intuitive sometimes, but that's the message today and it will continue throughout the week. This weekend will have powerful moments where your love, compassion and service can really shine... your gifts... but they won't shine as bright if you don't go into the dark ALONE today and start poking around first.
