“I am in control of this situation.” Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Places to go, things to do – are you paying attention????

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life!!!

(Too dramatic??? Let’s try again.)

WELCOME TO 2017 – IT PROMISES TO BE EXCITING!!!

(Admit it – that’s the absolute truth!!)

Unless you have taken The Hermit to the extreme and have only just returned from your desert island, you know big changes are afoot all over the world – the snow globe has been vigorously shaken for us all – and we must now face whatever happens next. REMINDER: You may not be responsible for what has happened but you are certainly responsible for how you choose to handle it.

What happens next is entirely up to you; you choose your own adventure here by the choices you make – left or right, up or down, positive or negative, hope or anger – it’s all you from here on out. CAUTION: Choose wisely; your decisions and behaviors affect more than just you – be mindful of your footprints.

PRACTICAL MAGIC TIP: Want to protect your home from negative energy? Mix equal parts sea salt, sage and rosemary in a jar; sprinkle the mixture around the outside of your home (while doing so, concentrate on the powerful shield you intend to put around your home – envision the white light barrier you will form), saying, “I banish all negative energy for the good of all and the harm of none. Blessed be all things.” (If you like, you may seal this with “Amen,” “Namaste,” etc. based on your belief.)
