“If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger.” Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Like it or lump it, you can’t go home again.

The Tower arrives with an important holiday message; do not put too much pressure on the current holiday to live up to the memories of the past – it simply is not possible. First, you are not the same person (and neither is anyone else); second, chances are pretty good your memory isn’t real, anyway.

Give yourself – and everyone around you – a break by not imposing attachment and expectation to your holidays; simply enjoy them as they are with the people you love.

PRACTICAL MAGIC TIP: It is important to stay well-grounded so be sure to drink coffee, eat chocolate, drink wine, knead dough, and think of all the  things (great and small) for which you are grateful. You live here and now – appreciate every moment.
