Sasha's Tea Room

A lot of peoplehave been grumbling about 2009 wishing it well on its way. It has been a toughyear for many people. Within my circle of friends it seems that no one wasuntouched by some sort of extreme tension this past year. I would have toconcur with the general consensus having had a bit of a challenging yearmyself. However, as with all things in my life I prefer to think about all thepositives that this past year has brought. I was able to spend the majority ofthe year living with a close friend of mine. While living with anyone has itsups and downs I don’t feel there is any greater joy than being able to sharetime with a like minded person, even if what most of what you do is mundane.When done with a special friend, the mundane can be magical. I was alsofortunate to have met some new friends this year due mostly in part from a newspiritual group I have gotten involved with. This group has enriched my life byturning me toward some new possibilities to explore on my spiritual path. In thelast three months of the year, my business has been growing enough to besetting records. The change in my business has enabled me to move forward in mycareer by investing in some additional training that will shift my work path abit. I am now in a six month training program to become a Life Coach. Itoccurred to me a while ago that my tarot readings were often times turning intocoaching sessions once I had completed the tarot portion. I feel that someadditional training in this area will help me make what I’ve already been doing“official” and at the same time help me to grow my business and also todiversify it a bit.

In the end it was really the economy that brought most ofthe stress to the country as a whole with the continuing downward spiral, butas the year comes to a close there are more and more glimmers of light. As 2009says goodbye it send us on our way to the New Year in glorious fashion with abeautiful full moon in the sky, our second this month, making it a Blue Moon.As I stand amidst the crowds in downtown Denver watching the sky light up withsparkling fireworks I will bid a fond goodbye to 2009 saying thanks for themoments that brought me such joy and thanks for the chance to grow, to learnand be strong. My soul can’t think of a better gift.
