New experience: Tarot card reading

I just had a brand new experience for me: having a Tarot card reader use the Tarot cards to answer some of my personal questions. If you haven't heard about it, Tarot readers use a deck of medieval cards (just like playing cards, although with much more elaborate drawings) and, once you ask a question, they pull some of them out and answer your question based upon the cards that came out. Here at the Soulfood Coffeehouse (one of my favorite coffee shops in the Seattle metro), they have on occasion a Tarot reader, and today I decided to try it out. I asked her some questions, which she used the cards to answer. Those questions can be about pretty much anything you want, related to past, present or future, so one of the questions I asked was "how can I be a little less anxious about things?" (honestly, I tend to worry about things more than I need). According to the Tarot reader, I should try to work a little less, take more rests, and try a change in scenery from time to time, which sounds like very practical advice. She was very nice and I actually enjoyed the experience. Don't get me wrong: I'm still a bit of a skeptical about Tarot, but it was a nice experience and especially a nice conversation, and just the fact of having someone listening to me actually helped me. If you want to try it out, just come to the Soulfood Coffeehouse in Redmond, she's here in the mornings and afternoons most days. By the way, she was extremely kind and let me publish this blog post and put a picture of her in her workplace at the coffeehouse (thank you very much for that!)
