I made this card intuitively and found that it tapped into a really powerful part of myself.

Who are you? I am the one who delights in giving, who offers open hands and much laughter as I give to others and to myself.  I am the one whose hands are open to give.  I am the one with a generous heart and spirit.  I am the one who loves to find just the right gift for someone, who pays attention and sees what is needed and then gives it freely.

What do you have to give me? I give you the joy that comes from giving.  I give you your generous heart and spirit.  I give you ideas for what to give others as birthday and Christmas presents… etc.

What do you want from me? I want you to continue to delight in giving to others.  I want you to remember this divine aspect of yourself.

I made this card intentionally, to express an inner part of me that has been stifling and complicating my journey for a looooong time now. Who are you? I am the one who sees disaster right in front of me but I deny that it has anything to do with me.  I am the one who keeps my cool, who sits on my throne and surveys the damage from a distance.  I am the one who smiles my beatific smile and pretends that everything is okay when really it is anything but okay. I am the one who sees pirate ships nearby, and to protect you, I act like everything is all right.  I am the one who denies disasters, problems, calamities and challenges.  I am the one who watches the TV news and says “Don’t worry about it, it has nothing to do with you,” when they are talking about global warming or environmental issues. I am the one who tells you not to worry about your weight problem, to go ahead and have another cookie because it doesn’t matter.  I am the one who is smiling on the outside, always, to hide the distress that is happening on my inside. I am the one who doesn’t want to get involved with the messiness of life, the ugliness of feelings. What do you have to give me? I give you protection from difficult feelings and situations.  I give you a safe distance from the horrors and difficulties of life.  I give you an escape from dealing with the messiness of feelings like fear and pain and sorrow and rejection and anger and loss. What do you want from me? I want you to be safe and happy.  I want you to be free from life’s trials and tribulations.  I want you to know that I have been working very, very hard to protect you from the hard painful work of dealing with difficult emotions.

I made this card totally intuitively. I’d been holding onto the rainbow-colored, light-filled flowers for a loooong time before finding the right other images to fit with them.

I’m still not sure that “Go For It” is the “right” name for this card, but it will have to do for now.

Also, a friend of mine saw it and thought it looked pretty cool held vertically too!

Who are you?

I am the one who is reaching for the light.  I am the one who is delighted to get my hand around this unique, colorful, lit-like-a-rainbow flower.  I am the one who is reaching for the mystery and the magic.

What do you have to give me? I give you permission to reach for the brightness that is rooted in your life.  I give you delight and joy in the seeking and the finding.  I give you mystery and color and bright full magic, all of it is yours in your life.

What do you want from me? I want you to breathe deeply, smile and reach for your dreams… reach for the magic and the mystery that is all around you.  Let your life be as colorful and exciting as you want.  Let yourself feel entitled and deserving.  It is all there for you to take!
