On tarot - yes but I’ve moved away from it towards lighter/ intuitive/ creative decks now. On movies for toddlers - I’m not afraid to admit that Luna wears headphones and watches them on the family iPad! 💜🙌🏻

Ooh I love all kinds of decks! Do you have a current favorite?

Haha I love it! Maverick refuses to wear headphones or we'd do the same. Instead she loves it on the large tv in our living room so *everyone* can enjoy 😂

Enjoying burritos lately: a breakfast burrito yesterday, and a veggie burrito today.

I have yet to "connect" with a Tarot deck, but I use several oracle decks. About to read for July and post it on YouTube. My favorite deck is called "Cat Wisdom" and features a deck of the most adorable cats and kittens. It's from an Australian publishing house, if I recall correctly.

Social media? Haven't been since early 2020 with Instagram. Might return in due time to revamp and update my account there, but don't really feel a huge pull to do so at the moment...

Ooh breakfast burritos sound amazing!! I need to make those more often.

Aww, I love a cat deck! That's so fun.

Good for you not getting back into social media! If you don't feel the pull, there's definitely no reason to be there. Substack is way more fun anyway!

Moana has some really beautiful themes. 💙

It's such a great movie. And we live at the beach so when she walks into the water at the beginning as a toddler is makes me think of my daughter. Her nickname is 'beach baby' because she loves the water so much!

Thank you Hunter for this lovely morning read. Claire’s post has sparked my thinking about how I use Instagram. I am just in the process of writing a piece about how her writing has affected me this week and the positive changes it has sparked. 🙏💜

Oh I’m also not a Trolls fan! Sophia just discovered My Little Pony! 😩 BUT she does love a bit of Paddington and also Moanna too. That’s definitely one of my faves!

Beautiful as always! Xxx

Ugh trolls has a vice grip on us! Haha

Thankfully we haven't delved into the My Little Pony world yet, but I'm sure it's coming. Ooh I need to see if she likes Paddington! I would be so happy 😂

I've been using Tarot for several decades (I have the deck you're using). Just this month I worked my way through my entire collection of decks, doing a draw every day via chat and writing up my observations as a section of my Substack (I normally post once a week on non-Tarot subjects so this was an experiment.) You can have a look here:

I've been appreciating the weather too! Give me gloom any day. I rejoiced when I saw it was raining this morning. It was hot so I went outside with my dog in the rain in a t-shirt. I got some funny looks but my soul was shining. Thanks for another lovely list!

I love a gloomy day! I actually love the thunderstorms that happen in the summer, so I guess that's something I should be looking forward to more! I bet you got some funny looks 😂 But definitely worth it!!

Moana is such a beautiful film and has some wonderful messages about ancestors which you’re right pull at the heart strings. I have never been drawn to doing tarot, but work with oracle cards every day. One of my favourite decks is by Kyle Gray, Angels and Ancestors. Such amazing illustrations 🙏💫
