The Importance of Taking a Break

How the power of intention changed my life....

After a 10 month break, I am delighted to tell you that I am back and it feels so good!

Thanks to everybody who reached out to me to check that I was ok and apologies if I didn’t manage to get back to you all.

So what happened?

Tarot Avenue was going from strength to strength and I was building a strong community and thriving business. So, why the break?

As many of you know I was employed full time and running a recruitment agency as well as running Tarot Avenue on the side. I always managed to achieve the balance between the 2, even though it meant doing a lot of work in the evenings and weekends.

Everything changed this year.

Overwhelm

I was given extra responsibility in my corporate job which saw me open a new office in a different location.  This meant I was travelling at least once a month to the second office.

It doesn’t sound like a lot however it was just enough to tip the scales and throw the balance.  As I'm typing this I'm seeing 2 of pentacles, 10 of wands, 7 of wands....

With Tarot Avenue doing so well I was having to dedicate almost all of my spare time and to be honest it just became too much.

I absolutely could have ploughed on but I have always been one to trust my intuition (even before I really understood what intuition was).  My feeling was that I needed to take a step back until things got a bit more settled.

I knew I was headed for overwhelm if I didn’t heed this gut feeling.

What has changed?

The answer is EVERYTHING!

Early next year I'll be going to go into more detail of how I manifested this new beginning.  I believe there are valuable lessons that we can all learn.  I’ll give you a brief overview now.

Visualising the dream

I’ve been planning to relocate from Sydney to the Gold Coast of Australia for some time.  I even bought a house a couple of years back.  The move has been difficult as I have been tied to my corporate job.

I never lost sight of making this move and spent a lot of time visualising and manifesting this change.

Pretty much out of nowhere my company announced that they were making structural changes which could lead to redundancies.

Long story short, I managed to get myself a redundancy which has freed me from the corporate job.

The power of manifestation

I’ll go into this in a lot more detail in my next post but I truly believe that I manifested this change.   It didn’t necessarily happen the way that I thought it would but the result is the same (another important lesson).  

I really do need to learn to trust that these things will happen at the right time and you will achieve the result.

I will also share the tarot reading that I did for myself, which was off the charts accurate.  I’m not usually very good at reading for myself but the tarot was definitely there for me in my hour of need! (Yet another very important lesson!)

What’s next?

I’m moving to the Gold Coast just before Christmas.

My goal is to amp up Tarot Avenue and run a few other small businesses at the same time.  I’m not interested in climbing the corporate ladder but I’m very excited about working on a business that I am passionate about.

As far as Tarot Avenue is concerned I want the focus to be on teaching.  There will still be lots of free material and tutorials but I will probably release a few more courses (in-person and online).  I will still be available for readings as well.

I am also very passionate about helping others to set up their own tarot business. My podcast is dedicated to this but you can expect more resources and courses heading your way.

What would I have done differently?

Hindsight is 20:20 but I’m not one to really dwell on regrets.  I should have communicated that I was taking a break but the difficulty was I just didn’t know how long I would need.

If I had kept going I really do think that I would have ended up resenting my tarot work so I am very happy to have had this time.

I’m energised and very excited about the future.

Here’s to a bigger and better 2020!  I’m looking forward to serving you and helping you with your very own tarot journey.
