work issues

Greetings. We have been very busy here since the site was launched a few weeks ago. I am happy so many of you have found your way here. I am hopeful that you find my readings helpful.

This week I would like to share the story of Karla. Her concern was about her job. She has been on it for over 17 years and is afraid she is being forced out. She's not sleeping, she's gaining weight from over-eating. She says that everyone at her office is either 20 years younger or bitterly complaining. She feels fat and out of style. She wants to quit her job but her family needs the money, and more importantly, the benefits. Karla is feeling trapped in a job she used to love before she got "so freakin' old".

I laid out a 6 card spread for Karla.

Card 1 is the King of Pentacles, upright
Card 2 is 5 of Wands, upright
Card 3 is 7 of Swords, reversed
Card 4 is 9 of Wands, upright
Card 5 is 5 of Pentacles, upright
Card 6 is Knight of Wands, upright

From her reading it appears that Karla and her family are at a crossroads. She has 3 teenage children so this is not surprising. It is normal and natural for them to begin to strike out on their own. I advised Karla to stay with her job for the time being. I suggested that she do some volunteer work with an organization that is near and dear to her heart. She would be needed and would be invigorated by the challenge and teamwork of the job, something she is not getting at her day job.

I also suggested that Karla and her husband take a mini vacation alone. They both need to disconnect from their everyday lives and rediscover each other and what brings them passion.

Karla is in for a major life change in the very near future that will dramatically alter their lives, in a positive way. What was once blocked and impassable will soon become clear and will flow.  I asked that Karla be open to any changes that may come her way.

I ask prayers and blessings upon Karla and her family.

A son in distress

Here is a good example of love in action. Mr. W., contacted me regarding his son, Michael who was having trouble at school. Mr. W. and his partner were concerned that Michael's inattentiveness and acting out in school would get worse. It was hard for either of the parents to take off work to come to school and continually deal with Michael's issues. Until the 6th grade Michael was an average, well-liked student. He was a good kid who was heading into serious trouble, possibly another fight with another student.
 I read the cards for Mr. W. and his son. The Time for Action spread utilizing the entire Tarot deck was used. The first and second cards represent the question. The third and fourth cards show what will be encountered when action is taken and the fifth and final card shows the outcome.

The cards 1-5 for Mr. W. were VIII, Strength, Upright, King of Swords, Upright, Nine of Cups Reversed , High Priestess, Reversed and Ace of Wands, Reversed. The cards 1-5 for Michael were Knight of Pentacles, Upright, 4 of Pentacles, Reversed, Knight of Swords, Reversed, Page of Swords, Upright, and 8 of Wands, Upright.

Based on their readings this situation has been building for some time. Mr. W. needs a fresh new perspective as he is getting worn out with the constant supervision of Michael and the calls from the school. I suggested it is time to call in the troops including his partner, Marco and the school, a medical doctor and perhaps professional counseling.
Michael's spread indicated a larger issue besides school, including reading difficulties and too much focus on what the other kids are wearing and what they are doing. Part of this is normal pre-adoloscent behavior but he needs to be taught to stop, count to 10 and stop the impulsive moves that are getting him in trouble.

I recommended professional counseling as it is possible there is covered over abuse from Michael's past. Michael was an older adoptee when he joined Mr. W. and Marco's family unit.

A prayer has been offered on the family's behalf and I hope to hear some good progress from the family in the not too distant future.

Blessings to all who read this post and take heart and hope from it.

A new beginning

We are so happy to finally have the website up, mamanvarvara.com.
I apologize in advance for the terms of use- it was a legal recommendation and we want to be sure we all know what we're getting in to.

In any event, Papa Grigor has been very helpful with setting up the site and the most important contact me button. Thank you Papa.

Mostly we want you to know this site is about hope. I can read the cards for you but a reading is also dependent on what you choose to do or not do with the information. The readings will not give you all the answers, it will guide you to find the answers within yourself.

In these trying times it seems people need hope. I offer you hope to find the strength and the courage, the love/hate to push on through. Things will get better.

I don't set prices on services. Send me an email with what's on your mind, I'll do a reading and email you the results. If you are satisfied with the reading and are able to make an offering, click the Paypal button. If you are not satisfied or are unable to make an offering, that's OK, pay it forward.

Peace be with you and we look forward to hearing from you.
