The Five of Cups - Reversed…

Life is, perhaps feeling a bit bittersweet for you right now? Listen up, my friends! This week you can either retreat inward, hiding from the world around you and throwing a HUGE pity party for what you currently lack, or you can open your eyes and heart to the sweet of the bitter and drink in the the remedy. Yes, this will be challenging and you will find yourself being selfishly drawn to the pain of what you are currently experiencing. But instead, see if you can accept it without allowing it to swallow you whole. If you choose to open yourself to the possibility of a different option, you will be able to see the fruitful potential that awaits you. Life doesn’t always hand us a cup of exactly what we want and need, but we can take what we are given and turn it in to something better. So, you feel like your dreams are being crushed?!? We also crush grapes to make wine…which vintage or varietal will you become this week?!? I assure you, your cup is half full.
