journal journeys...

hi lovelies,

how are you all doing out there in bloglandia?  things are good here, swirling quickly as i knew it would.

today i thought i'd share about where i am in my journey with journaling.

last year, i shared some images from my journal. this is the post with the best examples from last year's journal.

so here is how my 2025 bome ended:

the front cover

yes...that is all of 2025 journal, some art, calendar/planner, etc.

i really loved the size of the journal (5x8 sort of?) but...trying to keep it all together just didn't work.

this year, i went with a larger journal - the moleskine xxl cahier ruled notebook

and i'm not trying to keep the year all together, obviously.  i'm currently on the 5th journal

january through end of march...

april's journal cover

may & june...

july...

and...

i plan to go through at least september with this one, maybe let october be on its own and then have november and december finish up.  but...i'll see how it goes.

how i've been using the journal, though that seems to be changing each month too. (blurred for privacy - not to make you dizzy) 😀

well...just a little peek in my journal tonight.  i'm off to take care of a few things. believe it or not it has taken two days for me to complete this post.  

y'all have a wonderful weekend and i'll be back soon.

love & kisses & magical wishes...

a card for the collective...

greetings & salutations again, my friends.

yesterday morning, before i pulled my own cards of the day, i pulled a card for the collective.

those of you who've been with me for a while know that i pull a tarot or oracle card everyday (sometimes both).  i've been feeling that need to pull one to share here on the blog, so yesterday i focused on what we needed to know for the month of august.

 deck: the Rider-Waite tarot

card drawn: 8 of wands

meaning: swiftness, things moving quickly

my intuitive insights:  if you felt that july moved by quickly, better buckle up, buttercup.  august will move at warp speed.  if there are projects or plans that you are working on this month, stay focused.  at first, it will seem like you have plenty of time to complete your tasks.  do not procrastinate.  try to stay ahead of deadlines or you may find that you fall short of your goal or miss completing things altogether.  and remember to leave room for rest.  if you aren't rested and healthy, your work will suffer and even if completed on time, it won't be your best.

when i first pulled this card and received the message, i thought - yep, i hear you, i'm trying.  then i realized it wasn't a message just for me.  so here it is.  i'd love to know if this resonates with you or if something different is your interpretation.

i'm going to try to do these collective pulls every month, and maybe more often as the cards call to me.  

do you use tarot and or oracle cards?  what is your favorite deck?

love & kisses & magical wishes...
