Today I draw the Three of Swords and ask myself if I can suffer this heartbreak with grace? Can I see this situation as a part of a larger tapestry of my life? Can I turn this sorrow into a golden thread that leads to a greater understanding of my humanity?

Today I draw the Page of Swords and ask myself; can I see the world from someone else perspective? Can I walk a mile in their shoes? Can I just imagine what might be driving them to act the way they are acting?

Today I draw the Queen of Wands and fearlessly move forward with my life’s plans. Doubters be dammed, let the fires of creativity burn away criticism. If it doesn’t work the first, second or third time, try, try again!

Today I draw the Eight of Wands and contemplate the movement of the Universe. Our Galaxy, our sun, our world are all spinning and flying through space at incredible speed. We can either go with it, flying boldly towards the future, or we can enact a crazy unbalanced force to try to stop it in a futile attempt to stay in the past.

Today I draw the Five of Swords and reflect upon the my last argument. Was it my way or the highway? Was the point worth the pain and suffering I caused? Fighting is easy; am I strong enough to apologize?

Today I draw the Wheel and reflect upon my ability to adapt to change. Do I resist it and cause nothing but suffering or do I embrace it and find the hidden opportunity?

Today I draw the 5 of Pentacles and reflect upon my privilege. I am hugely grateful for the luck of the draw to be born a Canadian. I am forever grateful to live in a society that wants to educate and medically care for its citizens. I am eternally grateful I live in a country that believes everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, or status, deserves a life of equality and opportunity.

Today I draw the The Knight of Swords and consider my motivation. Am I acting out as a quick fix or do I have a plan of action laid out that will take me where I want to go? Am I a fool rushing in where angels fear to tread?

Today I draw the The Queen of Cups and reflect upon my meditative practice. I am Aum…

Today I draw Justice and reflect upon my sense of equity. Is everyone in the situation being treated fairly and with dignity? Am I expecting special treatment anywhere or am I allowing the situation to unfold on an even playing field?
