Scotland Tarot Reading -- from Edinburgh!
Hi --
I've been off for a little trip to Scotland ... spent time touring the Lowlands, the Highlands (which really are high!), and the Border country. Here's the first of a small series of readings I did from some interesting sites while I was there -- hope you enjoy!

Great Books Reading!
I'm so excited -- I've wanted a set my entire life .... and I finally found a set of the Great Books for an incredibly reasonable price. Just finished unpacking the 54 volumes ... and felt a Tarot Reading coming on! So ... this video reading will be the "Great Books Tarot Reading"!

Back Again
Had a lot going on the last two weeks -- biggest were a week-long hospital visit (all is okay) and kids (plus grandkids) moving back in the house!
Playing catch-up now -- here's the latest video reading!

You Deserve It!
Hi all!
It's been a while since the last blog entry -- I've been doing YouTube videos instead. I had some nerve damage with my hands and it was very difficult to type, so I kind of switched off to YouTube videos instead. Having a lot of fun doing them (and finding locations for them!).
Some folks are unable to get to YouTube -- and I apologize for posting readings they couldn't see.
My hands are getting better (not all the way, but maybe 50% back) and I thought I'd give a written reading another go. I had carpel tunnel surgery on one hand -- can't really say that it made a difference. The hand is better ... but then, so is the hand that didn't have the surgery. I've been taking supplements that are supposed to help regenerate nerve damage, so perhaps that's the reason for improvement instead of the surgery.
The doctor wants to do the carpel tunnel bit on my other hand. I'm reluctant because it seems to be improving on its own. On the other hand, I've already paid the deductible with the first surgery (darned Obamacare -- deductible is ten times more than it used to be!), so another surgery would be largely covered by insurance. I probably won't do it -- don't want to go through the recovery process all over again.
Anyway, enough about me and my hands -- I hope you've been doing well and I want to jump into this reading!
Just like we used to do, we'll pull two cards. The first card "sets the stage" for us -- it presents some state to consider. The second card offers suggestions for us to think about regarding this state.
Let's jump into it -- our first card is: The Nine of Pentacles
This card suggests enjoying the rewards of something we've earned. We put in the effort, we were patient, we did things the right way, we may have sacrificed in the process ... but we're seeing the end of our journey and the rewards at the end of that road. This could be a "macro" or a "micro" sort of thing -- we might be looking at what happens after a long path ... or, it might be the results we see after completing a short project. In either case, we've reached a successful conclusion and can see the rewards that we've earned.
Kind of a nice spot to be in -- right? Well maybe so -- but some folks find it difficult to be comfortable when this happens. Perhaps "guilt" sets in -- is it right for us to enjoy a comfortable spot when others aren't in the same position. Perhaps we feel unsatisfied -- "It's nice, but it's not enough -- I want more!". Perhaps we feel resentment -- "It's mine and others have kept me from getting here sooner". Maybe we feel uneasy -- "It's great -- but what if I lose it all?"
You know -- maybe all of that's true, but it doesn't change the fact that you've reached a successful conclusion. That's the part that's important. When one journey ends, another begins -- but that doesn't mean we should let the challenges of a new journey distract us from the pleasure of completing that first journey.
Let's take a look at our second card to see what it offers -- the Four of Swords.
This card suggests taking a break -- taking some time to relax, rest, and refresh. In this case, it's saying it's okay to enjoy something you've earned. You earned it -- so you deserve it! Don't worry about all the "what if's" -- concentrate on the "what is" instead!
Taking time to take a breath and recoup is great -- but it's even more effective when you can enjoy the well-deserved dividends you've earned getting to that point!
Bottom line -- when you earn something, take the time to enjoy it. You deserve it!
And that's about it for this week -- I'll probably go back to the videos again, but I'll try and keep written readings in the mix as well! Hope you have a great weekend!

From a Nature Trail

New Bear Creek Park Reading
Hi There!
Results of your comments regarding video readings vs posted readings -- about 100% in favor of the video readings! So -- there's a new one just posted right here!
If you enjoy the video readings, you may want to consider subscribing via YouTube. Subscribing is free -- and gives you immediate notification whenever I post a new video.
I'd also be grateful if you'd click on some of the "share" icons below the reading. You can share to your Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and many other social media outlets.
I really enjoy doing the video readings! I've been scouting neat locations in the area for future readings -- am looking at parks, nature sanctuaries, historical Western locations, ghost towns ... even haunted locations! (There's actually a number of places that comprise Haunted Houston)
I'll probably also post some readings from neat places in the region -- like San Antonio, Austin (when the bats fly -- downtown Austin is home to a massive bat colony), spots in Louisiana, and so on. I'll keep you posted.
One thing I noticed I don't do in the video readings is where I used to ramble and "visit" during the first part of the postings. I thought I'd take a moment here and do some "rambling" -- the reading will still be on Youtube, but I just wanted to pass a little time visiting.
Our season at Sherwood Forest Faire ended this past weekend -- eight weeks every spring! This was a really rough season weather-wise -- lots of cold and wet weekends (way too many of them!) One day the weather was so bad (cold ... I mean COLD ... and wet) that the faire actually closed down mid-afternoon! I've never heard of that happening before. The faire owners invited all the brave (or fool-hardy) souls who ventured into the inclement weather to come spend time inside our new castle (yes, we have a real castle at Sherwood Forest!). The entertainment acts all moved inside the castle as well and put on a warm and dry show for everyone.
I'll miss the faire -- but it was pretty tiring. We did have some outstanding days and pretty much shattered our individual day attendance records (This was the fifth year of the faire).
Outside of faire, I've been keeping pretty busy. Work stuff has been hopping -- plus I've started playing music in bands again. Am playing in a blues group, a rock group, a jazz group, an eclectic group (lots of originals) ... and even a Big Band group! My fingers still aren't healed enough to let me play guitar, so I've been mainly playing trumpet, flugelhorn, piano/organ -- even drums (our drummer didn't show one night!) The last time I used to play with groups was way back (WAY BACK) when I was in college -- it's really fun to start picking it up again.
Now that faire is over (and I get my weekends back), I'm planning to start building more vardos for
our site at Sherwood Forest. I've got my original one that I'll use ... and am hoping to add at least two more for this next season.
Not planning on making more bowtops like this one -- thinking of a French-style "roulotte" (think canopy bed on wheels) and a traditional Romany "ledge" style.
I'll post pictures when I get them finished!
Guess I've rambled enough -- thanks for taking the time to visit! Let me know if you have any neat stuff going on -- I'd love to hear about it!
More next time ... Woodsong
