The image at the top is part of an ongoing tarot deck project. I created this image last night, needing some creative time. It is the two of staves. If you are interested in learning more about my tarot work- please contact me at amanda@wccenlightenment.ca.
Hello there Friends. Yes, I am aware that it has been some time. About half a year to be exact. Well, sometimes it takes six months or so for me to work something out of my system. Let me tell you about what I've been working on getting out of my system in the past few months.

6. I went home to ontario for 2 weeks to get my Reiki Mastery. I am a reiki master

So- I am the founding director of West Coast Centre for Enlightenment. I am teaching. I am working on my dream. I am developing a company that will make a differance in my community. I am working towards building my school.
And I haven't written a thing in here. :) But surely you can see why? ;)
