"Take off from here. And don't be so earnest,
let others wear the sackcloth and the ashes.
Let go, let fly, forget.
You've listened long enough. Now strike your note."
From "Station Island," by Seamus Heaney

Hi Amy:
Love the 'Star Card" from Liz Greene-Juliet Sharman-Burke Tarot Deck.
Maginificent postings today as always.
Hope on this July 27 Venus retrograde station-the good bye is temporary and that you may return when Venus turns direct on September 8th, just before a mega-9-11 Solar Eclipse.
Love, Shelley

Absolutely beautiful, and I was able to use it the same day for someone I've been spiritually coaching. Thank you so much.

I lie on purpose to hurt my daughter. I tell lies so people will dislike her.I tell lies about her so others will feel sorry for me.
It brings me pleasure to see her hurt. I have mastered this. I have turned family and friends against her. This has brought me great satisfaction.They believe me. And now they have nothing to do with her.
Everybody believes my lies.

I scrolled upon your beautiful, and just so inspirational, that I had to write to you and give my comment about it. Not only were the words just, the words that I want to use to describe it just wont be enough to describe my thoughts. I LOVED IT, ITS THE BEST, PICTURE AND POETRY COMBINED. You did an exellent job
