Birthday Parties are always wonderful events.
My daughter-in-law turned 40 last week, so her husband had a surprise party for her. He also rented a local billboard and had her birthday wish there for a week. She didn’t notice until he posted it on Facebook on her birthday (Wednesday)
Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.

DAILY TAROT: Q QUEEN OF WANDS
I am powerfully creative.
“Traditionally, representing the energy of a Queen, this woman represents the natural manager, whose gift is to inspire teamwork and divvy up tasks. She is the one who sees ensures everything runs smoothly. She’ll be sweating in the sun along with her family or crew, inspiring everybody to keep up and supporting morale with her infectious energy. ~ https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/queen-of-wands
Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like.

Today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Through extreme tragedy came lifesaving regulation changes. Now every ship must have enough life jackets and life boats for each person. It might seem obvious to us but at the time they thought they were unsinkable. ;(
DAILY TAROT: XVIII EIGHT OF SWORDS
I have the power within me to free myself.
You may feel trapped, but you always have a choice to break loose and live how you want to.
Dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me.
~ Janis Ian Singer and songwriter Born on: 7th April 1951

Maybe like the ugly duckling I was never a duck or a swan, but a Woodstork, unique and vibrant. Today marks my 67th birthday. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family, a few close friends and good health. Aging may not be for sissies, but I’m blessed because so many aren’t allowed the pleasure of growing old. Besides it’s better than the alternative 😉 Looking forward to the next trip around the sun. Tomorrow’s solar eclipse may not be visible due to clouds, but it will still happen.
DAILY TAROT: Q QUEEN OF SWORDS
I speak my truth with confidence and get my point across clearly.
Signifies a person who has had some hard knocks in life but has come through them stronger and wiser. With intelligence, clarity, and independence.

Outcome from the first two cards:
38 If the Taste is Sweet and Good Things are as good as they seem. Be thankful.
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

A solar eclipse is occurring April 8th, 2024. This is probably the last one during my lifetime in Southwestern Ontario. There is a lot of hype. Schools closed, parties, advise, warnings…. Like many celestial events the ability to see the event is dependant on the weather. I hope the skies will be clear. So far the forecast is good, but there is rain in the morning and this can change.

I am planting new seeds and I am willing to learn how to grow them.
Quite literally. I’ve started to plant seeds in the greenhouse. Petunias, tomatoes, marigolds.
I also have started to brew Kombucha. I ordered a Scobey through Amazon. It’s amazing that it was delivered the same day. First batch is already fermenting on top of the kitchen refrigerator.
I also ordered supplies to start to make sourdough bread. I need to buy some unbleached flour. My starter should arrive from Amazon today. 🙂
