21 April: Five of Pentacles
You are so caught up in loss & lack that you can't see the salvation & help in front of you.
Don't allow self-pity & helplessness to be your reality ... there is always an opportunity to move through your current limitations.

20 April: 10 Swords
A jarring end to a situation or relationship, but it is an opportunity to find resilience and deep healing.

A reversed card isn't automatically bad news. It might mean blocked, internal, waning, or nothing at all if you don't read reversals. Three practical approaches so you stop second-guessing every upside-down pull: https://serpentsway.com/journal/reversed-tarot-cards/ #tarot #tarotreading
Gratitude Day 75/100: for today's soaking rain and the wonderful long deep sleep I had last night.
19 April: The Hanged Man
Is your current way of thinking and habitual patterns keeping you stuck in the same place? How can you see things from a different perspective? Maybe something that others can't see?
Don't be a martyr or a victim. Do things on your own terms.

18 April: Page of Swords
Where are your thoughts focused? You may have an appreciation for learning & understanding new things but you don't need to share everything you know.
Keep curious & be open to unexpected lessons, share truthfully & gently.

13 April: 5 of Cups
You may be feeling disappointed about an outcome. You are so focused on the loss that you are missing the good that you have created and the good that you will manifest in the future.
Forgive. Let go.
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.

"My hat goes off to @kerryhammerton.bsky.social for her thoughtful curation and editing of this collection. She showcases a wide variety of voices, championing diversity. This is a collection not to be missed!" Riley Herbert-Henry reviews IN OTHER STORIES 2025:
www.facebook.com/groups/thego...
We are focusing on writing short prose - fiction and creative non-fiction - and how to create emotional resonance. We will also look at how to tell a story without spelling out all the details. Flash in other words.
Gratitude Day 67 of 100: for the workshop I am running in the morning.
The card that will guide us is Two of Wands.
We will bring writing together in new and interesting ways. We will stretch our comfort zones and lean into what is possible.
