TAROT READING: What can I do to reclaim my power?

There are often times when a situation makes us feel powerless. In today’s reading we look at how we can re-empower ourselves by looking for answers to the following questions:

1) What is the source of my feeling powerless? 2) What do I see powerful people as having that I don’t? 3) What part of my personal power can I reclaim? 4) What will I be feeling as I work towards my empowerment? 5) What will I gain from becoming empowered?

Shepherd's Best Book Lists

There's a new kid on the block and its name is SHEPHERD, where a reader hungry for more books can easily find books similar to the genre, style and type that has just been enjoyed.

In the words of Shepherd's founder Ben Fox:

"Shepherd is reimagining book discovery for the online world. 

I love walking around bookstores and browsing until something grabs my attention. I am reimagining that feeling for the online world. I want to help readers bump into books they would otherwise not find and give them ways to follow their curiosity between topics and concepts. 

And, I want to help authors meet more readers. Authors illuminate our world, take us on faraway journeys, and entertain us. There is a growing trend that authors have to become their own marketing team. That concerns me because it is very difficult to do and it takes time away from writing. I want to make it easier for authors to market themselves and sell more books. 

I love wandering around bookstores and letting random books capture my attention. Nothing will ever replace the “bookstore experience”, but I want to reimagine book discovery online with a lot more serendipity and delight." 

 Here are two "best book lists" I've written for Shepherd. 

THE BEST BOOKS ON MAGICAL REALISM

THE BEST BOOKS FOR FINDING HOPE AND INSPIRATION

There are many more lists of the best books on, well, on just about every topic you can think of and many more reading topics you haven't even thought of to discover. 

Enjoy browsing!

TAROT READING: New Moon, New Beginnings

I've been having great fun playing around with my tarot readings on my YOUTUBE channel!

The Tarot Card a Day reading left no time for writing, so I've found a new way forward. 

Instead of a short daily reading, I'll be doing an extended "Pick a Pile" reading at each New Moon and each Full Moon of the month. 

As there are four astrological elements, there'll be four reading piles to choose from: earth, air, fire and water.

This month's (first) New Moon is in Aries so the theme of the reading is WHEN SHOULD YOUR NEW BEGINNING START?

The Short and the Long of Tarot Card of the Day

I'm busy playing with my Youtube channel. 

I'm doing short videos (maximum 60 seconds) on a tarot card of the day, like this one

and I'm doing longer videos for a more in depth daily tarot reading, like this one

I'm learning about camera angles,  wireless mics and ring lights (help, would somebody please heeelp!?!)

I also need to learn about what YOU, my seekers of tarot  treasures, are looking for in your daily guidance tarot reading. 

• Do you want less card shuffling on camera? 
• Do you want bigger spreads (5 card instead of 2 card)? 
• Do you like videos with fancy effects or should the reading be kept au naturel?
• What can I do to help you get the most support and inspiration from my daily tarot reading?

Let me know what you want to see in your daily tarot reading by joining us on my YOUTUBE channel. 

Remember to subscribe so you don't miss out on any daily dose of tarot inspiration.

If you find the daily message supportive, it'll help if you can press that LIKE button so Youtube knows to share the video with others who may also need some daily encouragement.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for a new tarot card of the day!
