🔮✨
deck: The Good Tarot
・・・


1: Queen of Earth (reversed) + 6 of Fire (Crystal: Opal)
Capricorn, Ta**us, Virgo, Aries, Leo, & Sagittarius are represented here; Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus. If you picked these cards chances are you’re not as present or feeling as stable as you’d like in matters of career, finances, home and/or self. 6 is the energy of healing, nurturing & repairing. What does success mean to you? Use the energy of this supermoon to liberate yourself of your doubts & limiting beliefs. Rise up to succeed where you feel that you have been falling behind. Remember that you attract what you are not what you want so show up as if you already are or have what it is that you’re trying to attain & the universe will help deliver.
・・・


2: Hanged Man + 5 of Fire (Crystal: Rose Quartz)
Pisces, Aries, Leo, & Sagittarius are represented here; Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus. If you picked these cards you’re being called to unite in diversity & honor differences in some area of your life. 5 is the force of change, usually pertaining to a group. Can you think of time that it has been easier to work with a group rather than against it? The hanged man willingly ties his foot to hang himself upside down in order to change his perspective; maybe it’s time you challenge yourself to look at things a little differently. While it is important to honor yourself as an individual remember that we are all in this together.

I said what I said. 😌

I’ve acquired new followers on here since I’ve embarked on this journey so I figured I should introduce myself for those of you that don’t know me:

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Elsie. Thank you for being here!

I’m a mom of two from NYC. I am a licensed esthetician & owner of an independently owned & operated beauty studio. After years in the industry, I learned that what I love most about the work that I do is being able to help someone feel better about themselves, even if it’s simply by altering their appearance & taking time to devote to their own self-care.

Throughout my life I have periodically struggled with my mental health, major codependency issues & substance abuse. I began drinking when I was 14 years old. Last year, 2019, I hit rock bottom. After suffering a miscarriage that triggered an onset of debilitating grief & depression, I began to cope the only way I ever knew how. Although I was being proactive about my mental health in therapy & on medication, I was drinking almost every day. I spent the days that I did not drink consumed with convincing myself that I could make it through without doing so. I was often extremely irritable & reactive. I felt stressed, empty, sad, angry, misunderstood & alone.

As the life that I had grown to love so much began to crumble before my eyes, I decided that I needed to start holding myself accountable & make serious changes in how I was choosing to live. In November of 2019, I made the decision to live a conscious, sober life. Although some aspects of my life still inevitably fell apart, other aspects began fall into place...

be grateful everyday that you leave your home and make it back safely. be grateful that you’re able to use your breath to tell your loved ones much they mean to you. be grateful that you’re able to feel their heartbeat when you hug them close. appreciate all and take none for granted. everyday on this earth with the ones you love is a gift. cherish it and make the most out of this life. ♥️

let people do whatever it is that they feel they need to do in order to cope. if keeping themselves small and putting you down by keeping a running tab of your shortcomings is what makes them feel better about themselves and helps them to operate in their reality, then accept that these are not your kind of people; let them go and move on. you deserve people who can see you at your absolute worst and still see the beauty in your flawed human experience. it is okay for you to make mistakes. you are worthy of forgiveness and redemption and if someone is too proud to give that to you then it’s your responsibility to give it all to yourself.

love yourself the way you wished they would have. be your own damn upgrade. 😌

love, 𝓔𝓵𝓼𝓲𝓮 x0
