Our Daily Spread for July 16, 2011, Saturday

Advice is about getting away from, leaving, avoiding, putting it behind … all sorts and flavors of pulling out and getting on down the road, even changing one's mind about it. Getting out fast, getting out slow. Any kind of escape will do. Contrasts talking and not talking about it, too. It's about quitting, finally, and not doing it again. Running away from mouthy folks, even, is mentioned here in our spread. =================================================================================== ...

Our Daily Spread for July 15, Friday

Advice is about a traumatic gut-wrenching event - about divorce, about losing house and home, about grief, about a life change that came precipitously and lingers on haunting the life. It describes the shock and the sadness of those experiences. But it is also about the time you were going to say something hurtful, and didn't, and about the overthrow of established ways. ================================================================================= Is this the first time you come here? Well...

Our Daily Spread for July 14, 2011, Thursday

Advice is about a marriage of people who are very different. People wonder how they stay together. He is the very physical, edgy country boy type and she is the sedentary bookish quiet lady: the bricklayer and the secretary. Nevertheless, they are happy. One sentence sees him as the happily married man from the point of view of the other woman. ================================================================================= Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do: *Go to Dail...

Our Daily Spread for July 13, 2011 Wednesday

Advice is all about a supportive couple: She is generous to him and takes care of him; he is very affectionate and takes initiative to express his appreciation. Haven't you noticed that in almost every couple you know, one is taking advantage of the other in some way? Well, here, there is a fair exchange that continues on as a routine. The way the idea of an exchange of affection is expressed with the same cards as the exchange of money is a comment on how, when love is there, money is not a pro...

Our Daily Spread for July 12, 2011

Advice is about some types of close friendships and relationships that make us uneasy, and some times that close friendships and relationships make us uneasy. A buddy gets on our nerves. Being anxious about being close for different reasons. Having to be more of a friend to someone, because of circumstances, than we really feel. We have all been these places, and here they are delineated. One wonders why. =============================================================================== Is this t...

Our Daily Spread for July 11, 2011

Advice today is the age old drama of whether to flee the dysfunctional bunch of people or to wade in and set things straight like a true leader. But of course, we also say 'When your energy is going full-bore into your own progress, your own mastery of your situation, other people are not a problem for you.' So then you don't have to choose between running away and wading in. Don't let them get away with that, too. ============================================================================= I...

Blog Daily Spread for July 10, 2011

Today's question is How to deal with your difficult relative. Advice, in answer to "How do I deal with my difficult relative?" is: Don't feed the monster. Be calm. Be unreactive. Be passive. Give respect but do not respond to competitiveness or fighting. Especially if you are not receiving the respect that should be yours, withdraw your participation. (As soon as we have a specific question, it cuts down on the number of sentences the four cards make.) ========================================...

Our Daily Spread July 9, 2011

Advice is about how an unsavory situation, a problem or trouble, can suddenly reverse--how recovery can surprise us, how our ships can come in in the midst of worrying ourselves sick about income. Notice there is nothing here about something you do; we are talking about those 'out of thin air' godsends. Suggestion is it's darkest before dawn, things can always change, and ya never know until 'the fat lady sings.' ================================================================================...

Our Daily Spread for July 8, 2011

Advice is about pursuing and putting your energy into God, love and money: And the same four cards express all three wonderfully. It even says easy money is coming quickly. So much good news here for you to apply. Let's take all three and run with them, why the heck not? But that's not all: We have both healing and good health. Even something about travel on the road. Something for everyone here, cafeteria-style.

Our Daily Spread for July 7, 2011

Advice is about winning or asserting yourself when things are hopeless, getting over it, getting out of it, making a detour--anything but letting it get to you and crying about it all night, losing sleep. The cards present an illustration of taking things in hand right there in the center of the spread, surrounded by panic, quitting, and being trapped. Whenever you are fighting, nothing is hopeless. Remember this! ===============================================================================...
