Did you miss me? Or did you not notice I was gone?
I always laugh when I click on a video and the first three minutes are the creator apologizing for not posting. Like they think I’ve been sitting around, waiting, wondering when their next rant will drop.
Dude. I don’t know you. Just tell me about the thing in the title.
So I’ll spare you the same. Let’s just say: life’s been a lot. I’ve been dealing with what I felt needed dealing with.
Things are a bit better now. But all the heaviness got me thinking about what we miss… and what we don’t.
A top voice in the low-carb space—one of those people everyone thinks has it all together—just lost her husband. Suddenly. One of those out-of-nowhere medical things. The kind that makes you sit up straighter, especially when both partners seemed the picture of health.
Then my calendar gave me a gut punch reminder: my brother-in-law’s wedding anniversary. She’s gone too. Unexpected. Sudden. I’m torn between leaving the reminder as a tribute… or deleting it so it stops grabbing me by the throat.
I keep saying “I can’t imagine.” But the truth is—I don’t want to imagine. Not even a little.
And I say this knowing there are also people I haven’t grieved. People I won’t. Loss isn’t always about sorrow—it’s also about clarity. About seeing what still matters, and what no longer does.
This week’s tarot touches the heart of all that.
Next Week in the Cards
I pulled out the old Radiant Rider Waite Mini, my working deck, for a quick draw for the coming week.
Outlook: Seven of Pentacles, reversed
Honestly? A bit of relief seeing this one reversed. I don’t want the chaos and tension of late to be permanent. But transience—it’s a double-edged sword.
What you plant doesn’t always bear fruit. Vines get ripped out. Storms pass through. Circumstances shift, sometimes in a flash. And here you are, trying to assess a situation when the dust hasn’t even settled yet.
This card says you may not be seeing results—not because you failed, but because you’re still standing in the wreckage. The work might’ve been good. The goal might still matter. But the conditions? Changed.
There’s also a moment here for reassessment: were you tending the right crop to begin with? If not, maybe it’s time to plant something new.
Advice: Two of Cups
Simple. Healing. True.
Lead with love. Align with what soothes and strengthens your spirit. Make choices that harmonize with who you are and how you want to live.
That can mean reaching out to someone, mending something worth mending. But it can also mean reconciling with yourself. Returning to center. Finding inner unity after being pulled in too many directions.
For me? That means doubling down on what matters most. Holding close what I’d mourn if it vanished. And letting everything else fade to background noise.
Why give space in your head to anything you wouldn’t miss?
If it wouldn’t break your heart to lose it—maybe it doesn’t belong in your heart at all.
Now, for you:
What’s fleeting in your life that you’re ready to release—and what deserves more of your energy, attention, or affection while it’s still here?
