This is one of the cards I drew in my daily reading this morning.  And I’ll admit, I didn’t even realize it was Groundhog Day when I first began this writing.  But halfway through, when I started writing about the shadows, it came to me, “Oh my gosh, it’s Groundhog Day!

And this card is all about SHADOWS!   Which is what I most especially love about SoulCollage!

I am the one who stands at the open curtain with my lips pursed.  I am the one who is beginning to come out of hiding.  I am the one who is bathed in shadow and light.

I am the one who raises my face to the heavens, to the light and who embraces my light and dark parts.

I am the one who has been behind the curtain and who now is looking out to see where the shadows are coming from.

My message for you today is this… hold my hand, stand by my side as I look out this window.  Seeing my own shadows is scary, you know. I don’t like looking at the shadowy figures in my mind.

And it’s not a coincidence that today is Groundhog’s Day.  He is looking to see his shadow.  6 more weeks of winter if he does!  And when he does, everyone groans and whines about more winter.  But for me, I am happy to see my shadow because it means there is more light!  I am happy to see my shadow because it means I am seeing more and more of my whole, real, authentic, beautiful self.
