Springing into Action

I love flowers.

Having the same name as one has something to do with it, but I've always admired them.

I have an Oracle card deck named "The Language of Flowers." It's a set of 44 cards with a flower and a word on each, meant to insight thoughtful thinking. The impressionistic illustrations are beautiful.

I drew a card the other day:

ACTION

It's fitting to be the first card in the deck. What can action mean in my life right now?

The booklet says this:

The plant works by luring and retaining good energy that comes your way and will assist you in using these powers to boost your planned actions. Don't take on more than you can handle at the moment and be extra careful of possible deceptions.

We can lure and retain good energy by first putting out that same energy. We attract what we put out. Action is no different. Doing equals more doing.

This past week I lept into action and bought the tulips at the top of this post. It snowed about a foot the next day. All the petals fell off even with me bringing the flowers in before the bulk of the snow. It's not what I hoped for when I bought the flowers, but I'm still glad I did.

We rarely regret doing the "thing" we've been wanting to do.

We just learn and adjust for next time.

When I started this blog, a year and a half ago, it was almost a manifesto of sorts, proclaiming, "Hey, World, I was sexually abused as a child, and this is how I live with it." I wanted my words to help people feel whole, connected, and loved. I wanted to help people heal from suffering. And while I think I've accomplished those tasks to an extent, I know I can do better. I've changed a lot in this last year and a half. It's only natural that as I evolve, so do my offerings to you. My blog...

Change is Coming

I'm laying on my blue couch cushions, wrapped in a long fuzzy blanket. Not that I really need it because it's a sunny 70 degrees outside here in Denver. But there's a cool cross breeze going through the open windows in our house and as anyone who knows my family knows, Scheibelhuts gets cold. As I'm bundled up here, I'm thinking back to all this past year has brought. I got my yoga teaching certification. Started teaching yoga a mere 3 weeks after that. Began my sober lifestyle. I moved into...

When there seems like little hope

Sometimes the world is a bad place. There's real heart sorrowing tragedy. Natural disasters. Life ending sicknesses. War. Shootings. Trauma. When I read the news or hear people discuss current events, it can feel scary. Like there's a real loss of safety. But I have a quick exercise for you. Right now, look around the room that you're in and notice everything that is brown. Take inventory of what each object or surface is. Go ahead take a minute and look. When you're done, read this next...
