(Yes, I know, I’ve been gone forever. Actually, I’ve been blogging quite prolifically about my new life in China, but as I’ve been primarily working on adapting to a new home, new job, new language environment, and new culture, I haven’t had as much time to focus on my other blogs. I’ll try not to [...]

I pulled a Tarot card for 2009, which was the 8 of Wands/Staves. An excerpt from my favorite Tarot website:
Before acting, we think, imagine, speculate, talk and dream. This is the realm of air – the sky. Then, finally, we [...]

Heard about this spread at the Livejournal Tarot Community, mentioned in the first comment:

I might not [...]
