I’ve finished the first draft of my first E-book original, “The Story Of Rose,” and I’m waiting for my editor to pounce on it. I was pleased with it, and I hope she is also. Today, I’m going on a magical sort of journey, deep into Vermont to have a Tarot Card Reading with my friend Patti Newton. I was much affected by the readings she has done with me, and well aware that I would have jeered at this idea just a short while ago. We talked last week about the Lion and the Lamb. What happens when the fearful lamb recedes and the lion emerges, but he doesn’t really know how to be a lion.

The cards, in Patti’s capable hands, have spoken to me, and Patti, I see, is another of the magical helpers on the hero’s journey. The work is never done and there are messages worth listening to everywhere, if you open yourself up to them. I am going alone – Maria is busy cranking out her beautiful art pieces – and I feel there is something there for me, something that is exciting and important. In a way, many of my ideas about wisdom – health also – have been reversed. I look for wisdom in places I never saw, from people I never heard. And I am learning more all the time. I have a lot of driving to you, and I am pulled very much to go. I will share it all with you.

Look around for magical helpers, they are everywhere, in all the places most of us never look, making sounds that most of us never hear.
