Today’s card is Mother of Earth from the Vision Quest Tarot. She is all about nurturing ourselves as well as others, about connecting with our body and with nature. Mother of Earth implies that whatever we do for ourselves we also do for others since everything is connected and we are all one. So practising self-care and self-love is by no means an act of self-centeredness.
Today my focus is the child on her lap. It feels like she wants to tell her mother all the things she has already accomplished. Yes, she knows she has still a lot to learn and to practice but that doesn’t mean she can’t be proud of her achievements so far.
We tend to focus mostly on the what we still need to improve and on how to better ourselves but it can be quite inspiring to give ourselves a pat on the back once in a while just because we deserve it.
Today I am proud of baking our daily bread, choosing organic alternatives for my groceries if I can afford them, taking a walk, pumpkins in our garden and meditating before breakfast
What would you like to share with Mother of Earth today?
I think you are so right - we do need to remember our assets and accomplishments, not just our failings or what we need to change!
ReplyDeleteIt really feels good to be satisfied with yourself
DeleteOoh pumpkins in the garden...pumpkins cooking one of my favourite kitchen fragrances.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you have much to be proud of today. Well done you :)
Thank you! ❤Our pumkins are for decoration only but it won't be long until I buy one for making soup ☺
DeleteLovely post. Wish I'd stopped by yesterday, but here I am now. :) I'm proud for what I accomplished yesterday, and know I can catch what I didn't on another day. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cher! I am sure you will have lots of things to be proud of today as well. :)

That Earth Mother looks like a very compassionate woman. I would love to sit under her tree and have a long conversation.
ReplyDeleteShe does doesn't she. At first she even reminded me of Santa :)
