When was the last time you got something in the mail that wasn’t from the “big A”?
Like, how many of you actually send and receive letters?
Thick stationery with birds embossed on the envelope. Wax seal. Stamp and hand-written return address?
I exchange them occasionally with a couple of dear friends and a few relatives. The excitement is better than social media likes. High dopamine return. No screen time. Opening the mailbox to see a colorful envelope from someone you love…the best.
Who feels like bringing that back?
If you do, send me a note. I’m cooking something up on the side.

3 of Water, reversed
The fog depicted in this card represents uncertainty, and not being able to see clearly what is ahead.
Reversals remind us to look inward. And in this case, what you are seeking, you already know the answer to.
It may take some time to get quiet and aligned so you can hear what needs to come through. Perhaps take a long walk or warm shower and see what surfaces.
Trust yourself and listen carefully. It’s all there for you when you’re ready to receive it.

Ace of Fire
Fire is the spark that brings life energy into our world.
This message encourages you to embrace your creative and capable spirit and bring some of your gifts to others.
Celebrate with a meal or a hug. A phone call or a letter. A song or a dance.
Light a candle and sing or a bonfire and gather.
And of course, laugh.
This is a sign to appreciate and give, and create something to enjoy.

10 of Air
I love the season for murmurations (large gatherings of birds, often starlings, that fly in the thousands as if perfectly rehearsed), which symbolize co-creation and collective joy.
It’s time, dear reader, to cultivate some wonder today.
There is magic happening all around you to embrace.
If you can’t find a murmuration, there are thousands of ways to cultivate wonder. Simply watching a plant reach for the sun or a bird fly or a seed crack open and become something or a tree turn crimson before the leaves fall.
Nature is perfect and healing. Find a moment for some wonder today, and if you can, share it with others.

Me! This is so fun to see this when it had occurred to me to start doing this again, and really embrace writing snail mail letters as a hobby.
Me, me, me! I have had a deep urge to send actual mail again.
