Welcome to Magical Mondays, where every week I draw a card for us to give some guidance and direction in a world that... well, you know. If you got this email forwarded, you can click the link below to subscribe so you don't miss out!

​

I forgot my card decks at home this morning so thank you to I forgot my card decks at home this morning so thank you to Labyrinthos for their awesome online card app! Today I chose to use their Tarot of the Velvet Moon deck.

​

And our card for the week is:

The Queen of Wands.

​

Of course, this card brought to mind the Cheetah story from Untamed by Glennon Doyle.

In the story Glennon took her family to a zoo, where they saw a captive cheetah, trotted out once a day to chase a dirty pink rabbit on the back of a jeep wrangler for the entertainment of the masses.

The cheetah is beautiful, magical, and meant for more.

On this card, though, we see the cheetah presented in all her regal glory, in the wild, (see the greenery & leaves around her) and she holds her wand alight behind her - showing the way.

Here's what this message means for us this week:

As a woman in the world today, you ARE a cheetah.

There's no getting around it. You are powerful, wise, graceful, and strong as hell. You were always meant to embrace that strength.

But many of us were born in the same big cage, and we are held back by thoughts and beliefs that we silently rebel against all our lives.

The belief that "this is all there is" as we pace the edges of our enclosures.

The thought "I am powerless to escape, powerless to change this so I may as well accept it".

Today, though, this Queen Cheetah has come to find us, and to say "Look at me! This is what you were made for. Don't you dare stay quiet in your cage."

Here’s what you can do this week to embrace this message:

1. Put on your favorite Girl Power playlist. Music is powerful magic, and it can change the vibrations around you. When you’re surrounded by the frequency of “YES! I can d anything!” you’re going to make things happen without even trying. You can check out mine here, or make your own. (Only include songs that make you feel like a TOTAL badass)
2. ​This meditation from my teacher Melissa has been so helpful for taking my power back from all the people and things to which I’ve been subconsciously giving it away. Try it today (the meditation starts at about 5 minutes into the video) and if it hits? Try it before bed each night this week.
3. STOP overwhelming yourself with a to-do list that’s a mile long. (I know you have a lot on your plate, but keep that never-ending list somewhere else.) Instead, choose 3 priority tasks each day. That’s right. Only 3. If you can get those 3 things done? You win!

Have another idea? Reply to this email and let me know how you're going to lean into your Cheetah Energy this week.

Oh and...
