Dixie in her natural habitat.
I’ve been called many things, some decidedly unsuitable for polite company. But at heart, I’m just a loud-mouthed, pink-haired do-gooding chick from Kansas who taught herself to read Tarot cards.
It’s been a Hell of a ride from the first time I cracked open a Universal Waite deck–half expecting thunder to strike me down instantly, half wondering how the Hell I expected something meaningful from a DECK OF CARDS FOR GOD’S SAKES! It wasn’t long before I realized I had a gift for talking to those funny little cards and more importantly, a gift for hearing them talk back.
Those funny little cards have opened up some AMAZING doors in my life. I’d love to tell you the whole story right now, but you’d never believe me. It’s the kind of thing that has to have a basis in firsthand experience. However, I will share bits and pieces –and better yet, ideas for YOU to find magic in your own life. The magic is everywhere, once you learn how to look.
My purpose for being right here, right now: Every day, I want to welcome Spirit into my life with the open heart of the Fool. Every day, I want to help YOU do the same. I cannot imagine a more important or rewarding mission.
I don’t pretend to know it all, but I’m a damn quick study and am definitely taking notes. “A Fool’s Journey” is one of those notebooks. I hope you find something of value to you here as well.
Best wishes on your own journey, my Foolish friends!
