Do what your soul wants you to do

I had received an invitation to join a friend for a late night drag show by my house. This friend lives about 3 hours away, so when I see her it is a special treat and fairly well planned. When I woke up this morning I realized I was too ill to leave my house, forget being a fun partner to watch the show. She had planned to drive down with her husband and I was to meet her with my husband.

When I had to make the decision about whether or not I was going to go I panicked. I wanted to see my friends, we had made plans, and I felt like I had to break them because I could barely stay awake and I knew my body needed to shut down and recover. I stopped for a moment and realized I knew what I had to do and I was unwilling to make the move to cancel on them.

I reached for my tarot cards and asked my guides what I should do. I needed confirmation. OK, I didn’t need it, but I used the crutch anyway. I pulled two cards. The first one was from a new deck; therefore, I have never seen this card before. It was “Just say ‘no!'” I almost died. I know my readings are super accurate, but really? It was hilarious, fun, and couldn’t be more blunt. I laughed at myself for not following my own gut and knowing, then laughed harder at my guides finding it fun to make fun of me. The next card talked about honoring your body and spirit and its need to relax and rejuvenate and take it easy when necessary without guilt. 

Our society always make it such a high priority to always feel obligated to others at many costs. I started changing my life by being obligated to my soul and its needs. In turn, I gave the same freedom to my friends who no longer felt obligated to me. What we all received in return is the ability to be real friends who understand that life happens and that you still love each other without causing drama for normal every day things. We earned each others’ honesty and respect. We earned freedom to be free in the safety of each other. Then we learned to extend that outside our circle and demand the same understanding from others. You know what? No one got hurt. In fact, everyone got happy.
