Careful what you wish for!

Well last week I was so happy to see the snow and went about singing let it snow let it snow let it snow and Mother Nature sure listened. We got snow yesterday and today and expecting a huge storm tomorrow. I must say I do like this time of year and this weather. I feel very reflective and introspective as I contemplate the coming of the year ahead. Not only are we facing a new year but a new decade as well. I cannot believe it has been 10 years since I was the Y2K project manager, the project that officially launched my career in health care IT. Well tonight I'm going to stop on the way home and pick up some fixings to make a big pot of soup for tomorrow and then work on my Photoshop skills tonight. I downloaded some cool brushes and just can't wait to have 4 hours to sit down, light the fire (with the remote;) and start creating. I certainly however will have to literally rip myself away from Farmville to get it done. I Quiet night of contemplation and creation. My poem for a snowy day: Snowflakes glisten my world today, I stop and pause ...worry gives way. To a beautiful sheen that lights my soul and my way.

Well today is my birthday and I must say it is an awesome day! I don't know why but everything just seems to be working today. Normally I don't "self celebrate" my birthday but this year it just seems appropriate. I suppose the fact that I finished my masters last month and graduate in 16 days has something to do with it. I've finally got the time to get back to my crafting and cooking etc. I am just absolutely loving my 2x per week Yoga class and by gosh I nailed that darn crocodile pose last night 5 times! I felt on top of the world and have since. It even snowed today! First of the season and it is so very pretty. Right outside my office window are a few trees and the little white lights are on today and it makes a very pretty scene. Even though I have a meeting tonight I am very much enjoying this day.

Last night was the first full moon of December. We will also have one on the 31st as well. Since my birthday is just a day away I did a full reading last night. The cards revealed the coming of a lift in a period of struggles that my family has been facing over the last few months. I can feel the shift coming and I know I have the power to transform our situation. The reading reaffirmed that and focused strongly on the suits of Staves and Swords. Staves primarily focucs on creativity and knowledge and swords as I've come to interpret the reading represents my development, application and controls over the gift of creativity, femininity and knowledge. This to me equates to power and I realize it is within my reach. It is right infront of me all I have to do is channel it and use it. The final outcome was the major arcana of Transformation. It is the key theme for me this month and I invite the Spirits to show me wisdom as I journey through this life transformation. What a great way to start my birthday month! I am feeling aligned.
