I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

A Pat on the Back

From the Lilifer Tarot, the Six of Wands; from the Wandering Soul Oracle, Celebrate:

A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Both of the card draws today suggest being recognized for our progress or success and celebrating it. In some cases, there's no crowd of admirers throwing us a parade but a simple acknowledgement we make to ourselves. Most of us have a well trained inner critic who is always on the lookout for any mistakes and slip-ups. While we need to be able to forgive ourselves, it is also important to be able to say 'atta-girl' or 'atta-boy' when we recognize our strides forward. That's the kind of encouragement that can keep us going.
