A repeat card from last week, so this is an important lesson for all of us. And a very sweet one!
.
You are necessary, you are perfect, you are in the right place, at the right time. You don’t have to wait or train before you can help build a kinder world. The work you do, the way you show up in the world can be an act of service every day. If you’re feeling helpless or hopeless, pull your energy in close and find just one thing you can do right now. Maybe it’s texting resist to 50409, picking up trash on the sidewalk, being patient, speaking up when you hear racist speech, having dinner with a friend. Maybe it’s taking care of yourself by turning your phone off and going to bed early. Maybe it’s asking for help or attention when you need it.
.
Because you’re necessary, and so is everyone else. We’re all here to help people, and that means there are people here to help you. You don’t have to figure out or fix all of the world’s issues. You do what you can, let others do what they can, work together and hold each other accountable. What you do will help the collective, even if you’re not swooping in like an intersectional superhero.
.
For me, this is timely because right now I’m starting to reach out to all of my healer friends about community events to bring our services to more people who need them (dm me if you want in!). I took some time today to ground myself and hang out with my feelings, and watched some Parks and Rec, because earnest teamwork is so comforting. And obvs listening to Breakdown a lot. So whatever way helps you reset, do that and come back to this work fresh.
.
I’m here to support you, my community in whatever way I can. If you want a reading or energy work or tarot lessons or readings at an event, let’s work together. Thanks for being here. ❤️❤️❤️
Daily Tarot: 3 of Pentacles
The 3 of Pentacles says you are enough exactly as you are, and you are needed right now. Get out there and do your work, and remember it’s not going to look like anyone else’s work and your success will not look like anyone else’s success and that’s really cool. You’re not supposed to do everything alone, or like anyone else does stuff. It’s impossible and frankly, not fun. So do what you can do, and let others do what they can do. There’s a role only you can fill, and the rest of the team needs you so all of you can bring through something amazing, something bigger that each of you could on your own. Think of some of the coolest stuff out there in the world, there’s a verrry slim chance that any of it is the sole production of a single isolated human. Remember that when you feel like you’re not enough or doing enough. If you haven’t yet done the work you want to do, try making it a team project.

This puts me in mind of something @swoonhq wrote recently about learning to accept help to realize her visions. Scroll back through the feed to find it, it’s good reading.

For more on the 3 of Pentacles, @blind_stallion_space_wizard pulled it yesterday, and came through with some lovely insight on the creative impulse. .

Group Reading, and Thank You
Thank you to everyone I had the honor of meeting and serving tonight at Chelsea Wine Vault's Cabernet Carnival. I love reading at events and getting to talk with so many amazing people!
A few cards kept popping up over and over, and together they're a group reading for all of us tonight. Three of Pentacles, Five of Cups, The World, Judgement.
We're all learning to honor loss while being grateful for what's still here. We're learning to work together, that truly we have to work together to get anything important done. And we're waking up first as individuals, to our own potential, and then as a collective to our combined power. We're ready to do the work and change the world.
So let's get started.
