And there spirit steps back

It was either Carl Jung or Buddhism or both that teaches that the very things that annoy the hell out of you are some of your best teachers.

Valentine’s day annoys the hell out of me, but I’ve been doing the “My Tarot Valentine” thing for years.

Why?

Because I get it how deeply important relationships – of all kinds – are to a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.

But also because it’s popular and I wanted to advertise my professional Tarot readings back when I was doing that.

Stay tuned for what may well be the really, actually, truly last “My Tarot Valentine” with the mic drop piece of advice when it comes to romance.

Don’t wait on someone else – BE the love you want in your life. GIVE the love you want in your life. Then the love is inseparable from your life. No if or when required. That’s how, and that’s right now.

When you give love and kindness and strength and fun – to others AND yourself – all of those things become an integral part of your life. A soulmate and life partner is the frosting on the cake, not the cake itself.

If you have that special someone – love them with your whole heart and every cell like you love the air you breathe. That is a whole other kettle of fish, as the saying goes. This is for those still waiting.

The Tarot’s advice is stop waiting and start loving whatever you can that is here and now – including you. Do that and the whole Valentine’s Day idealized romantic relationship thing will take care of itself.
