My friend Patricia offered to share one her self-care techniques with me, a tarot reading with a beautiful African-centered and Womanist deck created by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, the "Black Angel Cards." For personal reasons, I won't go into too much detail about the reading, but I journaled the following after the fact while heading back home on the train:
I feel like my insides match my outside. Like the heavy feeling of uncertainty and fear has finally come loose and shown me (rather, reassured me because I knew all along) what I need to do in order to truly heal and grow. This will be painful work; the pain that comes with stretching beyond what I thought were my measures. But it will also lead me towards my voice, my truths, and past my fears.
