The Girl in the Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. The silhouette was mine, but the girl staring back at me had death in her eyes. Her irises were black and her skin ghostly white. Her night gown was tattered and covered in stains. Her fingernails were torn, and her fingertips were caked in dried blood. Her reflection ricocheted off the mirrored walls of the room. She was on every side of me. I couldn't escape her stare. She stood there in silence as I was frozen in my own stance. I had nowhere to run. I could not escape her.

The Fool
I started studying Tarot cards about 3 years ago. Oh here we go, right? The phenomena in the Tarot cards that has exploded in the past few years. Another front runner? Maybe, but I was drawn to them nonetheless. They have been a major factor in my healing journey these last few years. It’s understandable to think that telling the future with a stack of playing cards is slightly deranged. If it’s hard to wrap your brain around the spiritual magic of the Tarot cards, let me give you a psychological spin on them. Healing with Tarot cards, backed by science.

Setting Sail
I have set my metaphorical sails toward another adventure. As I look out from the bow of the ship, I can see the sun set on the horizon. The water is calm for now, but I know it won’t be for long. As a matter of fact, I have already steered this vessel through a chaotic hurricane and treacherous, large waves. It hasn’t been long since I began this part of my journey, and it’s already been quite a ride.

Another Trip Into the Darkness
My skeletons don’t reside in a closet, and my demons are not forcefully tucked away in the dark corners of a metaphorical basement. Much like the heart I wear on my sleeve, the internal monsters roam freely in all the spaces of my mind. I do not deny their existence, and I know each one of them by name. I have become familiar with my darkness. I am learning to appreciate it as much as I do my light.

The Truth About Endings
During a recent hiking endeavor, I had a moment of clarity. I usually do in these situations. The trail came with many challenges; a hard map to navigate through, trails that intertwined and looped within one another, and rocky pathways. It tested me to the point where I was complaining to myself quite a bit. It was just five miles, but it felt much longer. Generally, I enjoy the scenery and quietness of the great outdoors, but this round had me praying for a knockout. I was ready to quit.

Ch 3: Follow the Red
Inspira had never traveled into the woods before, so she was unsure of how far they went. There was no direction, she had no compass, and no map. She was simply going by intuition. She was sure the Light Worker would have shown herself by now. The Lantern in her outstretched hand was her only source of light. She felt as if she had been walking for some time, but had no real idea of how long she truly had been traveling. There were no trails or markers to lead her through. It was just her and the tree’s.

Let You, Upgrade You
Who are you? Actually, the real question is, who do you want to be? If you could imagine the perfect version of yourself, who is she? Is she quiet, loud, reserved, spontaneous, adventurous, a home body. Does she hand out love letters or refuse to take shit? Does she laugh out loud or giggle gently? Is she smart or creative? Does she sing, dance, draw, play? Does she sip wine or throw back whiskey? Does she rock holy jeans or does she prefer dresses? Can she rock like no other in heals or skip unapologetically in flip flops? Does she listen to country or blast pop? If you could create the version of yourself that would make you fall head over heals in love with every part of who you are, what aspects of yourself would you stitch together to create the perfect you?

The Rise of Dark Moon Empire
If you had asked me where my home was, when I was younger, I would have told you that there were a lot of them. That was because I never really had a place I could label as, “home.” There were buildings I could return to after a long day, a few belongings I held on to for a short while, and some tangible items scattered throughout my life that were in my possession. None of those things, however, were ever really mine. I’ve had places that I lived in, beds that I slept on, and toys that I played with. I had objects that kept me entertained, but never a collection of things nestled into a place of my very own I could belong to.

Dear Me,
This is to the girl who is sprawled out on her child-hood bedroom floor. The girl whose world feels like it’s shattering apart. To the girl avoiding her full-length mirror because your face is covered in tears, and your eyes are blood shot. You’re staring up at that old ceiling, praying that it would just crash on top of you. You’re laying in that spot you always do when your world feels so out of control. That spot right at the foot of the bed. The one that has collected so many of your tears and caught your knees every time they hit the floor. That spot that always supported you when you felt as if no one else would. The wool carpet is itching your arms and the back of your neck like it always does.

Ch 2: Into the Night
Inspira looked down at her reflection in the fountain pool. A packed satchel sat by her feet. An oil lamp casted a faint light in the surrounding darkness. “Mother will be extremely alarmed when she discovers my absence in the morning,” she thought to herself. She had left a note on her bedroom dresser so the Queen wouldn’t think she had completely disappeared. It didn’t divulge much, just that she had to go do something really important and would be back as soon as she could. How was she going to tell her mother that she was leaving to save The Light? She barely believed it herself, but something inside her told her she didn’t have much of a choice.
