This is basically the message but if you want to see the video reading here it is:

I Choose To Feel Peaceful Despite The Collective Energy Creating Political Stress.

 

I can choose to feel peaceful and neutral because I choose to love and accept myself.  I get to feel how I choose to feel.

Smell the roses today,

Love,

Jackie

It's getting to where I can only stomach 3 minutes of news a day.

 

Wishcraft Oracle: Bake Magic Cookies

 

This card is from the Wishcraft Oracle by Stacey Demarco

Illustrated by Elizabeth Tiethoff

From the booklet:

"You can put your happy wishes into the food you prepare; making cookies is a fun way to do it.  As you stir the ingredients of your favorite recipe together, think about things  you have enjoyed and people or pets you love.  Think of these good experiences and stir them in, saying:  "These are magic cookies, I only put good magic inside.  All who eat them will be blessed with good things."  When the cookies are baked, decorate them and share them."

----

Ok, so this card brings a few things to my mind:

Preparing food for yourself and others can feel like a chore however a lot of lightworkers are meant to be involved in the prep and cooking because we can clear the negative energy around the food, we can bless the food and pray over it.  If you are a lightworker you probably already silently bless things all the time.  Bring your attention to the lightworking skills of affirmation, chanting, and decreeing that can be incorporated into the food you and your kids eat.  

The fact that this is about eating cookies also highlights that we need to deepen self-love and not use food as a weapon or punishment.  Lightworkers tend to feel uncomfortable in their bodies and making peace with food by making peaceful food is a way to heal the mind/body connection.

Your body is beautiful and 

I hope that you are having a beautiful day.

Turn Criticism Into Kindness

 

This card is from Shine From The Inside Oracle Cards by Brittney Carmichael

Artwork by Jena Kane

From the booklet:

"The need to judge others is a dead giveaway of our own shaky self-esteem.  If you're in the habit of criticizing yourself, you'll most likely criticize others too.

When you judge your weight, you focus on the size and shape of everyone else around you and get trapped in constant comparison and criticism.

When you can accept your own flaws, you can accept the fact that others come with their own kind of crazy too.  Learning to love ourselves extends our compassion to others.

Affirmation:  I turn my judgment into celebration and criticism into kindness."

Sometimes people confuse being honest with being petty or judgy.  There is a difference between "calling a spade a spade", calling out weird or toxic behavior, and being defensive and projecting issues onto someone.

For me this card came up on a day when an unexpected opportunity to share my side of the story concerning the breakup with a mutual friend.

I had been friends with two other people for about ten years and we were a trio.  Long story short, I had a heart-to-heart conversation with one of them that resulted in us parting ways.  The other friend, who woke up to the news that the trio was now broken, listened to the one who I had the heart-to-heart with and told me that she couldn't be friends with me anymore because whatever I had said upset the other one so much that I must be in the wrong.  Then over a year later she started talking to me again but said she never wanted to know what happened between me and the other person.  

The day I pulled this card she asked me some questions about this past event.  I found myself speaking more from my higher self about the situation and I was able to turn criticism into something that was able to honor everyone in the situation. 

What I have found about this deck is that, if you use it as a way to get a head's up about the energies of the day or the energies around a situation, it will guide you as to how to handle what is about to happen. Or in my case, it validated how I handled the unexpected situation.

I would highly recommend this deck for "foreshadowing messages."  Even though it is under the category of Self Care I have found this deck gives solid higher-self level guidance about experiences that are about to unfold.

If this card came up in a reading for someone else I would say that they should be prepared for some unexpected question about something from the past or something that is personal.  I would say that your higher-self can navigate you through this conversation so that your words are from a thoughtful and self-empowering place.  For example, maybe you meet someone new who asks you about your divorce or they ask you something that they don't know is a little emotional trigger for you.  

I hope that everyone is having a beautiful day,

Love,
