Today’s card is a reminder to me to look at all that I have. I was reminded of this by my friend Cathie who is my Kansas self. She commented on this tangle that it reminded her of looking down on a garden.
The traditional Nine of Pentacles shows a woman in her garden admiring all that she has. She is wise enough to know that prosperity isn’t just money. Do you see the nine coins in this image? They are there. You just have to look for them.
Sometimes we just have to look for our wealth. We just have to know where it is. In Joanna Colbert’s newsletter today, she offers ways to make any journey into a pilgrimage. You should probably subscribe to her newsletter. They are one of my highlights when they arrive.
Joanna is preparing to kick off her next Seasonal Practices journey for Beltane. I can’t recommend this enough. She’s a marvelous teacher.
The Nine of Pentacles is, perhaps, a teacher as well. It teaches me that I am living a life I love. Are there places I might want to tweak a bit? Sure. But that’s not dissatisfaction so much as it is knowing I can move up another level. I can increase my joy that much more.
I am beginning to do this by acknowledging where I need to create space–where I need to make quiet sacred moments for myself.
So your challenge today is to create a quiet sacred moment for yourself. Just for 180 seconds, that’s all. Three minutes of intentional acknowledgement of that time.

Seek Joy, Y’all. Pass it on!
I see two hearts, one sheltering the other, larger far than any coins 😉 As for the challenge, I’m going right off to spend those 180 seconds, and maybe more, doing some tangling 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you do, Chloe!
Getting out into Nature is a bit hard for me at this time of year, but I’ll try 🙂
Linda, I would challenge you with this. Outside isn’t the only place to find a quiet, sacred moment. 😀
I know 🙂 but you asked when I have my sacred moments, and that’s alone in Nature 🙂
