Shuffling the cards, out popped an image that made me chuckle. It shows a hare sitting in a bucket reading a newspaper! An odd but eye catching scene. This hare looks like he is in the bathroom, the smallest and cosiest room in his little cottage in the woods. At his side stands a wise... Continue Reading →
Appreciation
For today's "hug" from spirit, I drew an oracle card showing a little monster sitting on a mushroom. He looks happy and contented, as though he has perhaps been out for a walk and now rests enjoying the scenery. This cheerful soul has nowhere to rush to and is making the most of the present...

Self care
There seems to a be a theme developing for the past couple of days! I have a lovely cat themed oracle deck and while drawing a card for inspiration on what to write about, received a similar message to yesterday. This card elicited an "awww" from me as soon as it fell out of the... Continue Reading →
Hugging the moon
Today's 'hug' card is one of my favourites. It shows a little creature wrapped in a warm and cosy blanket fast asleep on a crescent moon. He has his arms around the moon as if hugging it and looks content, happy, and protected in its presence. Surrounding the creature are clouds suggesting he may have... Continue Reading →
Sweet rewards
Today's 'hug' is a sweet card about honey! A little creature has climbed a very tall tree. It was a long way up and it took him a great deal of time to get there, but he is rewarded by the site of a bee hive. Inside the hive is lots of lovely gooey treats... Continue Reading →
The big picture
Today's "hug" shows a figure who has climbed a mountain. He stands at the top looking out at the scene below. This person has a better view of the situation from up here. Below him is the ocean which looks much calmer than it did when he was at the bottom of the mountain. His... Continue Reading →
Ship’s captain
Todays "hug" shows a creature on a beach. Behind him the waves are choppy and rising high out of the water. Two little paper boats can be seen bobbing up and down, swept along by the fast current. The creature on the beach, however, has one foot firmly on the ground and he faces away... Continue Reading →
Releasing anger
If we did a poll asking who here has ever been angry, I'm pretty sure it would be a 100% yes vote. Anger is a completely natural human emotion when we are wronged, betrayed or mistreated in some way. The problems start when we can't let it go. Holding on to anger is like grasping... Continue Reading →
Laughter’s medicine
There's a well known saying about how laughter is medicine for the soul. It lifts the spirits, decreases stress, and increases endorphins (known as 'feel good hormones') to the brain. I pulled an oracle card for today's "hug" and just looking at it makes me smile! It shows two little bug creatures facing each other,... Continue Reading →
Setting boundaries
Who here can hold up their hand and honestly say they have strong and healthy boundaries with others? It can be far easier for people to knock our boundaries down than for us to put them up in the first place. Today's oracle card shows a woman standing in a vast desert. She holds her...
