Daily Card Reading - #1 - Angel Deck

I'm going to try to start doing daily Card pulls and share them. I've been told I'm a pretty strong intuitive and Cards are one of my favorite tools to gain knowledge and or just better or prepare me for the day. I like to think I see them in a special sort of way.
If you enjoy my readings and or motivational messages please feel free to comment or let me know so that I know that I am touching someone else's world too. If I forget to post and you are looking forward to it PLEASE just shoot me a message or remind me. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember to share these things daily though I do them daily for myself and others and really would like to share such things with the world!

If you are interested in a personal reading please feel free to contact me I will be working on doing phone readings as well as google hangout's for a visual experience. The Guides are asking me to do this. I've been putting it off for a while and now they want me to share them with you. So it's time it's added to my things to do.<3

That being said  here's my first daily reading :)

Today's reading come from : The Angel Tarot by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine

The Star: Archangel Jophiel

 Today is your day to go ahead and wish upon a star my friends. Jophiel is one of my favorite angels. She signifies optimism and hope, as well as new beginnings.  When I see this card I overflow with happiness just like her with her ever flowing water and glow shining up the world.  The Star of light appears at the end of any dark tunnel and now any dark times you may have been living through are now behind you. Don't let them continue to bother you and stop you from your dreams.
( I know I have personally just gotten through one heck of a tunnel. Remember sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to make it to the top!)

Now is your time to plan something new and have a happy high expectation of hope. Walk into your future with a sense of optimism and positive things will be attracted to you as you create something new and positive for yourself.

Follow your intuition it is on target. Have faith , a new sense of purpose is on it's way leading you on a beautiful path. The angel is here to guide you.

"Jophiel helps us develop a sunshiny outlook and attitude. Call upon Jophiel to help you celebrate your victories and stay optimistic about your future."

:D I'd like to think that is an AWESOME first daily card reading to get us ALL on a positive path!
May your day be Shiney and Bright.

Wow, I just got back from sharing my story a little bit at Frankfort Middle. What an experience. I had never realized how awesome it would feel to have a room full of smiling faces listening with ideas. They all were generally interested and I got to give each of them something to keep.  Although, I made a few to small so I will have to make a few to send back in for those who's might not have fit just right. I wasn't sure how tiny/big their wrists would be. Kids are a bit different than I remember being at that age.
♥ That being said, IT WAS AWESOME! 25ish smiling faces and a room full of questions! They were all so excited a few were late for class. *sorry* What an awesome feeling. To teach little minds hmm.

Thanks Ms.Snoberger for inviting me! Sorry I was a little late. Due to not being able to figure out the door system! haha at least they keep the kiddos safe with all those locked doors!

I would totally do it again :) Maybe next time I will breathe a little bit. I felt like I was trying to tell them so much with so little time. But hey, they really wanted to know! That's what was awesome.


If any of you are reading I hope I taught you a little something ;) If you can make something, AND it makes you happy, do it!


BUT business may not be for everyone. Some of you may want to reach the moon, but others want to reach the stars and they are a lot further away. <3

A photo of some of the bracelets I gave to the kiddos. I will be making more for ones that may have been to small. If any parents get on and wonder what they are made of they have a center piece of "hemp" but the outside of the blue and yellow are a nylon base cord, the white one is a cotton cord. I didn't want to use the natural hemp in case someone would get itchy.  If you would like one of your own or custom colored one please feel free to CONTACT ME and I will gladly talk to ya about getting some.

It's all for the kids, they are the next generation.

♥ Last night I worked a bit of a double to make sure that I have 25+ bracelets for this morning. I get the opportunity to go to Frankfort Middle School and talk to teenagers about what it's like to have my own business.

I feel rather honored to get that chance and wanted to be able to share something with each of them. It meant a lot to me to be asked to do such a talk. Who knew at 21 I would  be qualified to teach children slightly younger than my brother about what it is to run a business for something you love?

PLUS! Who didn't remember the visitors that gave them gifts as a child? Those were always my favorite people. They taught me the power of receiving something.   It can be a powerful thing. 

That's what this is all about. Sharing the love and giving someone something handmade.

♥ Share the art, Share the love.

I'm off to finish getting ready. Just wanted to letcha's know where I disappeared to  I also have a BUNCH more surprises coming for APRIL... <3   

After I get this talk out of the way it's Easter focus time for the next few days!  let me know if you need any last minute goodies! Remember Shantastic goodies don't give ya cavities ;)

A little bit of thought.."Conquer the bad"

I am trying to finish tweaking the website. Apparently the store check out isn't working so please contact me via facebook or etsy to complete orders until I get the bugs all finished. Shouldn't be long though! I had an awesome weekend of motivational vacation to get me in gear for upcoming SHANTASTIC projects!

While I am busy sorting through pages of codes , millions of files, and uploading crazy slowness I wanted to share a few things to think about.

Over the past few days, after recovering from the first initial Shantastic Shine website launch, I took a small vacation to look over the past few weeks of craziness I have been doing planning and looking for more work.


So today, I logged onto my facebook to peak catch up from my weekend of trying to avoid much technology. I scrolled upon this on my newsfeed this photo that was simply shared by a rather awesome chick I know.  


So before I continue I wanted to share as well. It really caught my attention.

Please ponder this for a few seconds. Take a moment to think about the "bad".   I ask you too because I know stared at it for a few seconds too.

 Realizing I just had a similar conversation with boyfriend about some things I realized over the weekend, I hurried to my notebook to look back through my scribbles from the weekend. 

To understand the scribblings you may need to have a better understanding of my version of a "vacation". It doesn't mean a cruise or a walk on a beach, though I would never turn either down, I just currently have to many other responsibilities and can't run away to the water or big city.

 When I go on vacation , it generally means I turn technology off. Blare music, grab a friend or two , and just chill and talk about whatever randomness is needed. Generally I come out of it with a million ideas, an awesome new friendship (maybe two or three, or a whole new family.)  I also keep a notebook or something to document any ideas I have that may be important later. Then, after I realize I didn't need to sit on a computer and waste my day away I usually get rather motivated to go play in the studio. 

That being said , I searched through the notebook looking for something I thought for sure I had written so similar to this very statement I came across, and there it was

" I believe... If you haven't had something truly "bad" to overcome and live through, you have not truly lived yet.

Because, those who have succeeded have conquered. But not all of those have conquered what is needed to realize their success has come."

I make myself think sometimes. But I'm glad. I truley believe to succeed at anything, you have to conquer something,somehow, at some point , to make you who you are and what you accomplish possible.

 Those that are "handed" success have not truly reached their full potential until they have conquered something worthy of their "success" being memorable. 

If I confused you, or made no sense I do apologize for my rambling. If you agree please share this with others and I shall be posting more as I get some of my "motivational posters" completed.  :) If you would like to chat more,especially on this topic of similar philosophies, I'm usually reachable. Feel free to Contact me.

Until next time,

 

-P.S.   Take a moment to sit and think for a while. Whether it be alone, with a friend, a pet, in silence, or blaring music that touches your soul.   Turn off the "outside world"  grab a piece of paper and let your mind ease. You can write it, draw it, scribble in anger or frustration, or fold it up into a piece of origami. Just relax.  It could end up being such a great thing in the end.
