Today has
been a very tough day indeed. At first I didn't feel like blogging at all but
after my daughters both had drawn a card from the Wildwood Tarot I knew I had to write a few lines. Let’s give
my daughters some initials: S is the
eldest and M is the youngest. S has been struggling for a long time with an eating disorder and today, after a
long, kind but serious talk she has
decided to ask for professional help. I am so proud of her because I know how difficult
it is to admit you can’t do it on your own. M has always been the more
sensitive receptive one of this family and she has assessed her sisters problem
more heavily then I have done. She sympathizes with her, is there for her and has at the same time very practical
solutions.
After
our long talk they both asked me if they could draw a card.
S had
pulled the Woodward :
This card
is telling me today that she has enough inner strength to tell herself: “enough is enough” and to face the situation
and to act upon it. She is not a victim of her circumstances and she will move
forward and do what is necessary to overcome her problems with courage and
compassion.
And M
had drawn the King of Vessels the Heron
M is all
about control and finding balance. In doing so she has a lot of consideration
and sympathy for others who are struggling with themselves. She listens and
supports where it’s needed and accepted.
I was so
proud of both my girls today. I am dead tired but my love for them exceeds that
gloriously.
