My retrospective on my Decade, in brief

Stubborness at its finest!

So,
Alot of folks are doin the “where were you at the start of the decade as opposed to now ,at the end”.
Heres mine:

2010 #demicon #artshow- my entries in bckgrnd
2010 #desmoinesnewageshop
2019 #desmoinesnewageshop&communitycenter
2019 #wizardsartshow  – my entries ( #constantine & #zatanna )
2019 a week ago in hyvee with the #wubbofmylife and the #hubbofmylife and ofcourse #coffee

So…my artwork keeps growing & expanding!!


Im SOOOOOO MUCH happier then I was at the start of this decade, due ENTIRELY to my Wubbybear and my Hubby.

My Mom and I have reconciled, which is awesome as she is the most amazing #abuela that my baby Wubb could ever have!

And I can WALK!!!! So ling as I am vigilant on my stretches and chiropractor visits
*2011 saw me flat on my back in the back of my shop cause I couldnt move w/o excruciating pain- let aline get up my stairs.

And the Shop……WOW!!!!!!!
(We have also reconciled abit)Dad & I started this ride, he bailed in a HORRIBLE WAY when he found his new(at the time) lady love (starting some serious bad blood between us)and it almost tanked the shop- Dennis was my white knight in shining armour on that one.
We buckled down, worked our asses off (multiple jobs and fairs and the shop) and pushed ourselves to where we are now.
People thought we were loco(they were probably right lols) and some still do(definitely right lols), and now we also get alot of attitude that we are “RICH” & that it was so “EASY” for us-  YEAH RIGHT!!!!

We dont have alot of money *stares at bills and dies alittle inside*, in reality before I opened the brick & mortar I had waaaay more expendable cash! *facepalm*

We DO make a ton of our own products, write/teach classes & articles, Vlog & Blog, hold Psychic fairs & open opportunites that we would have KILLED for at one time, we have helped alot of people & touched alot of lives.
Through all of the Exhaustion, late nights, tears, wondering how we were gonna push through, crushing financial BS , health failures & misfires, and in general soul wrenching anxiety-stress-depression………..it hasnt been easy, not by a long shot….BUT MAN HAS IT BEEN FULFILLING!!!!!
ONE HELL OF A DECADE!!!!!
I cant wait to see what the next decade will bring!!!

#grateful #blessed #onehellofadecade #stubborn

Crystals for the week: #garnet #whiteselenite #obsidian #sodalite

1. 7 of staves – Induction into the mysteries and the coming together of experience. Achieving goals by synthesizing the experience of the past and accepting the gifts of a higher power.

Weekly Tarot Guidance from the Shop!!!

Hey All,
Weekly guidance spread comin at you from #desmoinesnewageshop!!!
Looks like we have a feisty week!!!!
*burn some #frankincense this week!

Crystals for the week: #rainbowmoonstone #whiteselenite #aventurine #jade #amethyst . And yes , if you do not have these-all can be found at the shop:)

1 Queen of wands-Reversed- a focus on self & self related things this week. We will see the need for some introversion. Also re establishing self as a priority, if not our sense of self entirely

2 The High Priestess- Follow those instincts, heavy focus on intuition this week. Do NOT ignore the red flags or danger warnings from our higher selves and guides!!

3 The Wheel of Fortune-reversed- Resistance to needed change, cycles breaking…but also abit of bad luck- not to worry it is only a teensy bit of bleed off negative energy- time to break out the Aventurine , Jade & #citrine !!!

4 7 of cups- lots of opportunites and choices brought about by said opportunities, remember to NOT get caught up in illusions,delusions or nostalgia- take off those rose colored spectacles!!!! See each and every opportunity clearly so as to choose the ones which will serve you best. The past is gone, move on & move up!

Shadow card- The Sun- a period of growth and harmony with a dash of success. This energy was what brought us to the energy of this week!

*I am using the #alchemygothictarot, again cause it reads like a dream!!! Also these cards were not pulled out of the deck, They DOVE out!

Weekly Tarot Guidance from the Shop!!

Hey All,
Weekly guidance spread (sorry for the delay) comin at you from #desmoinesnewageshop!!!
Looks like its gonna be a heavyduty week!!!!-almost all major arcana!!!!?!?!?
*definitely want to #sage this week!

Crystals for the week: #garnet #citrine #blackquartz #sodalite #dragonquartz #rutilatedquartz #azurite #ametrine

1 Strength- great news, we are gonna see some happy conclusions to some major issues goin on in our lives- but its gonna take inner strength & character!

2 The wheel of fortune- Some good luck,opportunities, a turning point(finally), the upswing of a cycle- but also meeting your destiny head on & walking your path.

3 Justice- so cause & effect- truth- fairness…so in other words if we manage to choose wisely and stay in our integrity, our outcomes will stay positive.

4 2 of swords- we will be facing some difficult decisions and will need to weigh our options very carefully….once again choose wisely and with integrity!

Shadow card-knight of cups reversed- we are coming out of a good deal of negative use of imagination (worry, envy, jealousy, displaced anger, etc) which lead to alot of stagnate energy that is now breaking up and being cleaned out.

*I am using the #alchemygothictarot, Iv had my eye on it for about 6 years and I finally broke down a grabbed it for myself(Iv loved the artwork on it forever!!!) Last week, and oh wow!!!! This puppy reads like a dream!!!!

Tis the season for entitled shoplifters, apparently:(

Great!!!!
So apparently the season of Theft has come once again!!!
Just had a girl and her friend in the Shop attempting to steal crystals.
When my friend (who was watching the shop while I went to urgent care), asked the girl nicely to put the shoplifted item back-she swore up & down she didnt have it- she refused…. until we mentioned we didnt want to HAVE to get the police involved.
Then she turned out her pockets and produced the stolen merch.
Then her and her friend left the shop swearing and cussing, no Thank you for not calling the cops, no we are sorry and wont do it again, no nothing!!!!!!!
I am soooo damn sick of this attitude that people feel ENTITLED to steal stuff, do they think Santa claus pays my bills???????
Anyway, those girls have hosed the rest of their fellow shoplifters….from here on out we will be prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law!!!
*my Dad was a small business owner, whenever he caught kids shoplifting he would make them clean something or run the trash or some small oddjob and then he would give them the item they tried to pocket. Instead of ruining a kids life, he wanted to try to make it better. Iv always trued to go by that example. I guess NOT ANYMORE!!!!
