I really enjoy white clovers. Did you know that, like most things accused of being weeds, they have a lot to offer? 💕💕💕 Fun facts: White clovers are herbs that were traditionally used to cleanse and purify blood and the dried petals used fight colds in tea. Every part of a white clover is edible with medicinal properties (maybe don't pick them from a lawn, pesticides and gunk). It's also an important souce of nectar for honeybees! In some spiritual practices, the petals are scattered in the spaces to protect against hexes or negative energy. That's just a bit about them; there's much much more. Pretty great, right? 😊🌸 💕💕💕 This summer, I'd like to take notice of and learn more about the things that I've been told are no good or "weeds." It's surprising to me how they have the means to do so much good and are poisoned for being misunderstood. No more of that. 🥰🌸 💕💕💕 #kimmyparfait #selfcare #introspection #flowers #whiteclovers #spring #summervibes #tuesdaythoughts #selflove #spiritual #herbs #nature #outdoors #thoughts #teapot #green #magic #plantlife https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTupuanaRz/?igshid=gm8qkobhqzg3

Parfait & Tarot for the week! How can we make time for joy? 🌱 💕💕💕 Situation - 5 of ⭐: Feelings of scarcity, lack or anxiety of impending hardships may be causing fear of losing certain comforts and their availability in the future. . Action - Page of 🔪: That fear may be holding back the desire to start something new and pursue the things that are interesting and exciting. Waiting for the perfect time to do something is a good way of keeping the things that we enjoy on the back-burner indefinitely. . Outcome - 10 of ⭐: It's important to remember that the things that we want very rarely happen for us instantaneously. Only through gifting ourselves patience and going through the process of risk and exploration that we find what we're looking for. Try to be mindful of when fear is denying us our joy. #cherishyourlayers 💕💕💕 #kimmyparfait #cherishedparfait #selflove #selfcare #mondaymotivation #mondayreading #tarot #tarotreading #spiritual #artistoninstagram #illustration #art #motivation #inspiration #insight #cattarot #tarotcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQNM-THEuk/?igshid=148v7xs031p2f

Parfait & Tarot, how I use the cards in personal practice. 😌🌱 💕💕💕 The reading centers around the question "How can I show myself more kindness?" From left to right, each card answers the question for the Self, Business, and Future. 💭 Self - Hierophant: Continued learning is constant and necessary. Immerse in structured study and practice in topics of interest, learn the rules, THEN adjust them as needed. 💭 Business - Magician: Never let unique skillsets, talents and capabilities go to waste! Be active in utilizing them to manifest goals. Self-doubt has no place here! 💭 Future - Q of ❤: A place of security, kindness, empathy and self-care resonates and flows from the Self. As the Self is cared for, the capacity to care for others increases. #cherishyourlayers 💕💕💕 Learn more about Cherished Parfait @ cherished-parfait.com ☺👍 💕💕💕 #kimmyparfait #cherishedparfait #selflove #selfcare #introspection #illustration #artistoninstagram #cattarot #cards #tarot #thursdaythoughts #tarotreading #spiritual #insight #inspiration #motivation #art #digitalart #tarotspread #tarotdeck https://www.instagram.com/p/ByF5RXKnhYz/?igshid=405tbfxlqx68

I ask myself today if I'M validating my own thoughts and feelings. 😳 💕💕💕 This question, while it can certainly be asked of the people around you, can also be asked of yourself. Is self-doubt and anxiety making the things you're working towards feel impossible? How can you acknowledge these feelings without letting them get in your way? These are the things I'm examining within myself today as I continue to work on Cherished Parfait after graduation. 💕💕💕 "Can I actually do this?" is a question that has been reoccurring for me. Today, I've decided to start answering this question with "I'm certainly going to try." #cherishyourlayers

So close, but it feels so far!

Confrontation and Transformation

Many of us have been hard at work for days, weeks or months with hectic schedules, project deadlines, and general busy-bodying to progress towards our goals. With the holidays coming up, semesters are about to end, breaks are about to begin and we’re starting to feel as though we’re ready to wind down but the year isn’t quite over yet. It may be starting to get harder and harder to push ourselves, to find the motivation and energy we had earlier to keep ourselves feeling and being productive: burn-out. This can be particularly frustrating, especially if we know we’re so incredibly close to seeing our hard work pay off.

When we’re feeling this way, it becomes easier to take that frustration out on ourselves and those around us. This can look like negative self-talk, irritability, guilty procrastination, or neglecting our most basic and important needs. If we find ourselves getting to the point where we’re doing more harm than good in the name of productivity, it may be time to confront this, be honest with ourselves and step away to nurture ourselves and see what we need in order to transform these feelings and behaviors. It can be as simple as taking a cozy shower, eating a whole meal, taking a good nap, whatever feels personal and allows us a moment of quiet, of peace.

These simple moments, which are often dismissed as an undeserved luxury or waste of time (I’m guilty of this), play an integral role in our productive lives. They allow us to give ourselves the space we need from our challenges to breathe, to re-assess our priorities and to come back with fresh perspectives and a clearer head. After days, weeks or months of doing, of problem solving and building, it can be surprising how a small withdraw from it all can steady us, get us back on our feet and get us across our finish lines.

Does PG (scorpio) havefeelings for me? will we be in a serious romantic relationship? when? -mcl♍ thank u!!💞

Hey there, mcl!

So, a few things:

I am not a future-teller and will never assert that the cards will tell you a pre-determined future with specific time frames and dates. I personally feel that much of our future is in constant flux but can be nudged by our direct actions and intentions. So I will, however, interpret the advice of the cards for how you might work to achieve your goals and encourage you to use what resonates with you in your reading to help you pursue your relationship.

Because I personally find readings for what a person who is not participating in the reading is thinking or feeling intrusive and liable to be inaccurate due to the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of human emotion, I will not give readings for such things. I will, however, offer you a reading that may help you to explore your own feelings and interpret the advice of the cards on how you might share your own feelings towards that person. It takes a courageous person to make the first move to get the ball rolling and I like to use Tarot as a tool of empowerment.

Lastly, I'm sorry, but my readings are no longer free! One-card readings (like the ones you see here) start at $10. You can book one here if you'd like to work with me. 💕 If you'd prefer a future-telling reader, there are many extremely lovely ones here on tumblr who can help you and I wish you and PG all the best!
