hey, shredded wheat.

i was on a monthly20 call with a member of the UPRISING inner sanctum yesterday, and she was looking for support around getting grounded into her WHY —

seeking what she referred to as a consistent + constant reminder of the ultimate “point” of the work she’s doing, and new perspectives around what enticing thing can keep drawing her forward right now

because she knew that THAT was what would keep her acting on her big plans without getting detoured by distraction or disappointment along the way

she’s been focusing for a while now on making sure that “fun” is part of the equation, and how she can keep integrating more fun into even the typically less “fun” aspects of biz

the card we pulled on the call was the 2 of voices/swords (pulled in reverse) — from the muse tarot deck by chris-anne donnelly

one of the things that came up through our exploration was an invitation to take care that the pursuit of fun doesn’t interfere with a greater, grounding peace

we talked about how the natural, serene energy of the larger figure in the card is actually the goal —

and while fun can definitely complement + nourish that, indiscriminately chasing fun without deeper nuance + clarity could actually yield decidedly un-fun, unappealing results

in the card we contrasted the chaos + uneasiness of the two dramatic figures with aqua across the eyes (representing for us a surface-level “fun” filled with confusion + indecision) with the earthy calm of that overarching figure

and how a surface-level “fun” could disguise what actually serves to handcuff or distract from what pulls our own puppet strings

it’s right about there that i invited her to check in + see what feels like deeply resonant fun right now, so she can make sure to follow THAT + not unintentionally “fun” herself out of her own peace —

a peace that can very well include fun, but doesn’t get overrun by it

it’s amazing the ground we can cover on a short monthly call — especially in combination with our weekly or biweekly group calls

and such a treat to witness what happens for clients as they act in accordance with the revelations that come

does this card bring any wisdom to mind for you?
