The street fair Tarot card reader looked at the cards, then looked at me and said, “Well whatever you do, do something.”
That was the answer she gave me to the question, “What should I do next with my life?”
You see, I was at a crossroads. I’d just lost my mom, my husband and son were recovering from a car accident and to top it all, I was fired from my job. But believe it or not, that tarot card reader’s answer was the best advice I’d ever received because in order to find my next “thing” I’d have to get out there, explore and do something to find it.
I have no aspirations to live an extraordinary life. I do not strive to earn a 7-figure income. There is no desire in me to live in some exclusive penthouse apartment or a gated grand estate. I have no appetite to jet around the world and visit exotic locales when the mood strikes me (Who am I kidding, travelling the world would be totally cool). The point is, for the most part, I have no ambition to live the life of the rich and famous.
What I do strive for, is a life of meaning. I want to be able to say, my contributions to the world helped other people achieve their own personal aspirations, however small or grand they may be.
It took a lot of “doing something” to get to a place where I could see this as my truth.
This life called to me years ago and the quest has been long, but signs pointing me in the right direction were everywhere along the way; small intimate whispers of inner knowing and large heartbreaking smacks of reality when I chose to ignore the path. Still, I made the journey and have the t-shirt and a few scars of life to prove I did.
With the deep understanding of lessons well learned along the way, came my own unique type of wisdom. That is what I share here on this website. This is what I use to provide intuitive Tarot card readings and mentorship to those who are also seeking a life of meaning and a way to offer their own unique type of wisdom to the world as well.
I call myself a crone because I am a mature woman who chooses to pass on her knowledge and wise counsel to the folks who I work and connect with. In that I am confident.
To make it this far on my site I must have sparked your own curiosity, even just a little. That’s a good thing. Because it means that you too must be a seeker of your own truths as well – even if you, as yet, don’t know it. So take it as a sign that you are on the right path and are most welcome here and maybe, just maybe, there is a clue or two here to the answers you are seeking for your own personal journey.
I am looking for an honest medium person in or around Vancouver. My brother needs help and I feel some help from the other side may help. Can you recommend someone. I am in South Africa and feel a little helpless right now.
Regards Bernard
Hello,
I did send a reply yesterday. My brother is in Vancouver, I in South Africa. He is a super , kind etc etc but an alcoholic and he is rock bottom. We come from a strong spiritual back ground. I do believe if anyone from his spirit guide to a family member could talk to him it may save his life. Please I need a referral to a genuine medium in Vancouver. Getting him there will be another challenge but that we will dealvwith closer to the time.
Thankyou,
Bernard van den Dool
Love, love, love your ‘about’ page. I am a crone as well and both the traditional and modern meaning of crone resonated deep within me.
I am looking forward to following your journey and coming back when I have a wee bit more time to read more of your blog. I’ve also followed you on Twitter so that I don’t miss out on a thing. 🙂
Well thank you Linda. If you saw the report on the news this week about the census results here in our great country you would know we Crones are taking over! So maybe your Rocky hoodie is more about the fighter. Crone Power!
I look forward to chatting more with you in the future.
Thanks again for joining the Cronies. 😊
Yes, I did see that report. I’m visualizing a ‘Crone Power’ t-shirt to wear under my Rocky hoodie. Imagine the power I could harness then!
My email address is linda@talesfromthecabbapgepatch.com if you’d like to connect that way as well.
Crone Power Rocks!
Absolutely Linda. I will.

Thank you for the opportunity but at this time I am not interested.
Lovely to meet you over at Esme. I never did get to visit my godmother when she moved to Nanaimo. It sounds like a beautiful place.
Darn! So many years, now, I could have been claiming crone! Hey, I see “Nanaimo” in the reply above. Lived there, well, 60 years ago. Yes, I am a crone!
Well hello fellow crone. And yes I live in Nanaimo. I hope you come by my blog again for a another visit.
Thank you so much for the love. ❤️
