I am the one who was measured and laid low by defeat and failure and now I am free and now I am successful and now I am no longer defeated.  I am the one who survived and lived to tell the story of how difficult it was, before, and how easy it is, now.  I am the one who raises my arms in triumph.

I am the one who was supported and guided by the Divine Ones on my journey from “there” to “here.”

My message for you today is this: it’s a journey, it’s always a journey.  And there are still some places in your life where you are feeling defeated.  What are those places, what is that place, where you currently experience defeat?  Use the energy and power of the little girl on this card and find a way to bring yourself from defeat to triumph.

This was a new message for me, from this card- the bit about using the energy of the image of the little girl to bring failure/defeat to success.  So I decided to ask the little girl a bit about herself. And this is what she said:

I am the one who is young and beautiful and dressed in party clothes, clothes of celebration.  I am the one who is watching what takes place.  I am the one whose magic is my innocence.  I am the one whose magic is in my belief that wonderful things can and do happen, and often.

I am the one whose magic wishing dandelion is touching the defeated one’s leg. 

I am the one who transforms the defeat into the triumph with my belief that all is well, that all is possible.

My message for you today is this: believe that your body will get back to its natural weight, and it will.  It may sound naive and innocent, but in my words is wrapped the wisdom of the Universe.
