Gearing up for my appearance at 11 PM tonight on the RadioX Show, I drew a card of the day. I drew the Six of Pentacles. The interesting thing about this card is that as I drew it, I had an e-mail opened on my computer screen regarding the Relay for Life American Cancer Society fundraiser.
And I reached a conclusion. For the month of March, all money from the purchase of tarot readings from Miss Michele will be donated to the ACS Relay for Life.
The Six of Pentacles, in a word, indicates “charity.” But it’s not wanton “I’ll give to anyone who asks” charity. The balanced scale in the main character’s hand indicates “charity with justice,” showing a philosophy of “God helps those who help themselves.”
I can think of few charities more worthy than the American Cancer Society. My niece is participating in the Relay for Life event late this April and is trying to raise at least $100. Her mother (my sister) successfully battled lymphoma several years ago. We (my sister and I) lost our mother to cancer in 1996.
I am going to make a small donation to help my niece reach her $100 goal. But I wish I could give more.
That’s when I decided that for the month of March, money from any Miss Michele readings will be donated directly to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.
Since there are only a few days left in February, I’m beginning this now, so please order your reading below!
Miss Michele is trying–really, she is–to get in the habit of posting regularly, beyond readings for our customers.
I can’t guarantee a Card of the Day, but I’ll shoot for every other day. This complements Serenity Bly’s card of the week posts.
Miss Michele knew this morning was going to be a challenge when our new wireless router refuses to be… wireless. The Page of Swords confirmed it.
This card refers to challenges and learning opportunities. (And aren’t all challenges really learning opportunities?) Things may not be what I expected them to be, but I will use all the tools in my power to prevail.
I am going to want to give up–because it would be easier that way–but I won’t. This manifested this morning when I learned I only had two options to place my laptop and still be connected to the Internet. I said, “Maybe I just won’t work today.” But my husband convinced me to give it a shot and things are going well at the desk.
But I’m expecting additional work challenges today… it will require self-discipline and a sense of humor to keep going, but I will, in the end, realize I’m stronger and more capable than I thought.
