Reminders from Spirit

As I often do during meditation, this morning I pulled out my tarot deck and asked my guides what messages they have for me today. The first four cards that popped out had an incredibly clear message. Can you decipher what it is? You might not be versed in tarot, so I'll interpret: 

10 of Pentacles: Spiritual and material abundance

6 of Cups: Nostalgia

10 of Cups: Community and love

4 of Pentacles: Material abundance

Reading these four cards together gave me one clear message: You are overly abundant, but you don't recognize it (the 6 of Cups gives a sense of wistfulness or longing for things in the past). You need to realize this and focus on gratitude for what you have. As soon as I came to that conclusion I got an immediate confirmation from my guides by way of full body chills, starting with my crown. I got confirmation that I read the cards correctly, and I said out loud, "you're right. I do need to focus on gratitude." And in typical fashion, my guide Duncan had a snarky response to me. He always cracks me up. Duncan replied "Of course we're right!"  

Add into that the Ace of swords: new ideas or beginnings and Strength. My guides are telling me to practice gratitude and to know that I have the strength to move forward with the new trajectory my life is taking.

It's good to have these reminders from my spiritual team when I get too much in my own head about things.
