Mirror

 


With it being the first of the month and all, I figured there's no time like the present to attempt doing something different--something better-- for myself in the weeks to come. Despite there being only two months left of 2020, a year in which I'm sure almost everyone on the planet wants to come to an end, I have to do something different in my mindset before I venture into 2021.

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered these oracle cards from a poet who I frequently read time and time again. She's an influential poet for women and has a strong, developed voice when it comes to empowering women and their self-esteems. She created this 45-card oracle deck in which any card pulled for the reader could be a guide base for themselves. A card to start the day with, a card to reflect on the days festivities, or even an attempt at leading the way towards an answer to a question. Either way--this deck emboldened me and I snagged it quickly.

A family friend dapples in supernatural activities, speaking with individuals from the other side, getting feelings, sharing wisdom, etc. She has her own deck of tarot cards (which are different from oracle) and, in a way, inspired me to look elsewhere (really deep within myself) to find answers I can't seem to notice in daily routines. And, here we are!

Mirror is the fourth card of the deck and emboldens the reader to "treat you body like the palace it is". I've been dealing with health and body self-consciousness for over a year. I've had many weeks embracing how I am and remembering that what's inside counts. However, my current concerns aren't a matter of whether or not I'll look my best in a pair of jeans. It's whether or not I'll end up having a heart attack when I'm 25 if I don't get my shit together. That's why when I pulled this card out of the oracle deck, shuffling three times, I knew that something good could come from doing this now.

Healthier foods, healthier lifestyle, healthier mindset.

A Dagger & the Dictaphone

The Queen of Mystery is back at it again with another installment of the Hercule Poirot detective mystery series. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd  takes place in King's Abbot, which is located in Great Britain. Both Mrs. Ferrars' and Mr. Ackroyd's deaths happen simultaneously after one another--one by an overdose and one by a dagger. Narrator Dr. James Sheppard is a physician who not only oversaw Mrs. Ferrars' death, but also Mr. Ackroyd's. It was shortly discovered after both murders that Dr. Sheppard's mysterious neighbor was the infamous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot! After being incognito for a time, Flora Ackroyd was able to persuade him to investigate her late uncle's murder. This mystery novel introduces a number of different characters that all hold specific roles to the background of the village and the murder itself. When reading it, I found everyone seemed to have a suspicious factor about them, but Hercule Poirot was able to weave between the s...
