'TOUCHING BASES'
Newsletter
June 20, 2005
I want to thank all of my dear friends out there for your continuous faith and support Hello my friends, _________________
I grew up in the 50s/60s with practical parents. A mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it... A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, dishtowel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my father died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So...while we have it...it's best we love it.....and care for it... and fix it when it's broken.....and heal it when it's sick. This is true. for marriage.....and old cars.....and children with bad report cards.....and dogs with bad hips.....and aging parents.....and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away, or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special.....and so, we keep them close!
EIGHT THINGS GOD WON'T ASK ON 'THAT DAY' 1...God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation. 2...God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home. 3...God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe. 4...God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it. 5...God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability. 6...God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend. 7...God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors. 8...God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character. _________________ Grab a hanky! Do you remember the 50's? Well, I do! (shhh!).
This is really a FUN webpage! ________________ The year is half over (That means Christmas is just 6 months away! Didn't we just do that?!) It may be time for a fresh reading for some of you - let's take a look at what the rest of the year has in it's pocket for you. What's on your mind? What is troubling you at this time? Sometimes we just need someone to listen - sometimes it helps to get input from someone outside the situation, unbiased. I'm always here for you - just an email away. The purpose of my Tarot readings is to offer personal advice and guidance on difficult choices you may be struggling with. The choices you make today can influence the paths you will take in the future. Sometimes, what we are looking for may be not so much a glimpse of the future, but a glimpse of our true selves. The better we know ourselves, the more likely we are to have the confidence and self-esteem to work through our life decisions fully, and with the care essential to produce splendid outcomes. My readings can be a wonderful tool to help you get in touch with yourself. Instead of waiting passively for life to happen TO you...reacting to events and emotions without fully understanding or appreciating what is going on around you...you can use my readings to enhance your experience and active participation in the events and emotions of your life. My readings are tools you can use to make your life decisions resonate closer and closer to your heart's true desire. It is not about surrendering to fate, or being handed a one-way ticket to the future. It is about making choices that are honest and that feel right for you. It is about getting in touch with your own life energy and using that energy to live up to your fullest potential as a human being. What road should you take? What future lies in store for you? How will you grow and learn? Come to me, and we will see what we can see! I have lowered the cost of my readings in a sincere attempt to make them more affordable for everyone. I have completed a major rennovation of my websites, Tarot By Jeanne, Tarot Etcetera, and Jeanne's Place.
Today, and always, may there be peace in your hearts and on earth. Please keep in touch, because as I have told you many times before, I truly do care. Jeanne
