Daily focus~

5 of cups (reversed): moving on from the past, forgiveness (self), and acceptance

3 of wands (reversed): assessing obstacles, re-evaluate plans, and being strategic in action

Mantra: the horrors persist but so do I (we) 🙂‍↕️

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Read the banned books.

But also read the ones that could be banned. Ones from trans authors, Palestinian authors, and indigenous authors. Read the ones about black happiness and sapphic history. Read the ones from climate scientists and critical comedians. Read the romances and the horror novels.

I forgot I had a copy of Bloodmarked. Also saw Oathbound is available on Libby so looks like I’ll be finishing the series 😊 thx for the rec

Your higher self is your “weird” self. Your inner child. The you that dreams, grows, and creates. The you without limits.

The you that exists outside of societal expectations and conditioning.

Your most authentic self.

So be “weird”, unapologetically.

It’s your truest frequency 🤍

Too many of us have tried to tone down our weirdness for friends or partners only to later learn that we were suppressing the best things about us. There's no joy like the joy of being your strange self and finding that there are people who love you for it. (Boze Herrington)

So #booksky what’s everyone reading?

For me, it been a mix of books about energy, indigenous history/knowledge, and fiction. I just finished Legendborn. It was very YA, but good.

Any MUST READ recs? I’m thinking about starting the Malice series. I also still have Water Moon on my challenge TBR.
