Our love letter to you
May 2021 | Justice + 6 of Swords
Walk in alignment with your higher self, knowing with every one step you take, the Universe takes 10,000 for you. There is no “one day” when everything “falls into place”, step-by-step and day-by-day the little things add up to the big things so, start now. Right where you are. With all that you have and everything you can muster.
April 2021 | Judgement - BElieve
Does your soul calling still set your soul on fire? Or do you need to move beyond intention to belief? You know a “the proof is in the pudding and I already ate it” mentality. A full integration of trusting yourself to live out what you already know to be true. This lesson feels like a tightrope walking fine line. When do you truly believe something and when do you just think we do?
SEO + Blogging as a Freelancer
Optimizing your website through building a content strategy to drive your business’s direction is what makes SEO so rewarding and far more controllable than social media. With mindful SEO practices and quality content, the work is essentially done for you. Where social media is in the hands of an unknown algorithm, your website and SEO is the hands of you. Search engines are like libraries. Your website’s content are the books. The first page of a search engine is the librarians recommend reading section.
March 2021 | 3 of Cups + Justice
Fortune favors the bold allowing the chips to fall where they may. Sometimes we find ourselves polarizing the players alongside us to find out whose in it for the short term and who is playing the long game with us. Maybe there is a law of the land. A universal set of rules we are all playing by like karmic cause-and-effect. Celestial gambling with guaranteed outcomes. Letting the oceans wash away as change comes in and out with the tides. You got this. Magic always happens when you most expect it. Odds forever in your favor.
February 2021 | Ace of Wands - blooming
Get over your limitations and get inspired. What are you working so hard for? What are you looking to gain? Our “why” is an expression of desire. The call to begin, again with nutrients harvested and the regeneration of all that once slipped away. A planting and burial look one and the same. Bittersweet goodbye and fresh beginning come in close succession of each other. Often times, we focus on one more than the other. Giving away subliminal power to the thoughts masked as “most true.” Yet, there’s an opportunity for innovation in this linear mindset. If change is our only constant then it is our birthright to get cozy with it. To choose joy despite our ego’s best efforts. To adopt a mindset of self-mastery to transcend the barriers to success. Healing happens in layers. Over seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and decades.

Seattle Jones offers matchmaking real estate services so you can live your happily ever after. The direction for the branding was worldly yet detailed.

We’ve always believed illustrated logos to be a rare and personal way to set your brand apart from the rest. Our design tends toward simple line strokes and hand drawn vibes, while many brands these days feature singular typefaces or one-off vector icons.
January 2021 | 8 of Cups - Manifesting
By releasing outgrown expectations we allow ourselves to write out characters and pivot plot lines previously deemed critical to our story. Narratives change with each choice and turn of the carousel. Yet through this same round and round, we may be called to write these elements back in. To give them another chance. Whether a second or more, this rewrite does not determine whether these revivals will be secondary storylines or with an adjustment of our intention something more…or less.
December 2020 | 4 of Cups - Shifting
Approach the situation with a light heart for there are no shadows without light, and even then, darkness cannot survive in the light.
Do you feel like something is missing or about to change BIG time? If so, embrace the feelings of hum-drum apathy and deep set uncertainty in your heart. Listen up. Feel those feels as they are here to show you who you are becoming. We are told to fear these feelings, yet beyond that fear is freedom if you lean in. To all that is working wonderfully in your favor. To the very things that are extending a helping hand to you to cross this bridge of disheartened uncertainty to peace.

November 2020 | Page of Swords - Balancing
When given the opportunity to break from traditional routes, we are gifted instant access to understanding what operating from our gut instinct feels like. Attuned to the pulse of all that is, we synthesize this information for our integration.
Don’t outsource your magic. Witchcraft doesn’t work unless you practice it.
Those in the ocean of people and places we’ve chosen who are unable to recognize the changes you’re channeling as upgrades, allow you to keep focus on what you need from these exchanges. Those around you may beg to differ, but you and your guides know, this is you moving forward. So, let them whisper and eavesdrop.
October 2020 | King of Cups - Rekindling
Trusting means living out what you already know to be true. Why keep looking for something you already found? And if it isn’t here physically for your ego mind to see then lean in. To all you know is coming toward you. To everything working wonderfully in your favor.
Let it come.
Muse with your emotions.

August 2020 | Muse of I Am - Becoming
Paint a silky portrait in your mind. Twilight hangs in the air as you spiral down a cobblestone staircase. Each curve in the architecture reveals something new to you. You hear the sound of rushing water as smooth stone becomes cool running water across your toes. You dip into the pool and feel a swoosh of energy across your shoulders as goosebumps rise on your arms. Close your eyes and lean in.
Lightworker, all along you’ve been walking this path toward the one you’re about to meet
July 2020 | Knight of Wands - For the Thrill of it All...Fall in Love Again
Beat to the rhythm of your own drum. Find your sacred flow. It’s f*cking hot. Welcome to summer (for those in the Northern Hemisphere) midst eclipse season. Do it. Do that thing while your heart is beating fast for it. Follow that impulse. Tell them you like them or maybe even love them and let them say it back. Drive toward your dream or a setting sunset until you find that dream or maybe instead you’ll find what you really need.

June 2020 | 9 of Cups + 6 of Wands - Keep Letting the Love In
Welcome to June where love becomes an act of defiance under a dazzlingly illuminated backdrop of soon to be six planets in retrograde: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, (and Mercury starting 6/18). A review is quite literally cosmically in order, which summons a timely refresh of a theme from just six months ago: November’s: Let the Love In, where love was bubbling forth from pools of deep cosmic alignment.
May 2020 | 10 of Cups - Let the Light In
Right now we are being called to transform. To assess our inner worlds, which at times feel like an underworld where fear, darkness, and malice lie. Don’t get distracted by these shiny baubles of worry and trickery. They are patterns wired in our minds by ego to protect us from experiences, trauma, and things we’ve faced and wish to never see again. They stand as traps to the gates of peace just beyond what we can see.
April 2020 | A Pregnant Pause
Pause. Float. Whatever wisdom you are receiving allow it to be what you act on. Look at all things from a new perspective. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. So, choose to sit in that sh*t wisely. And communicate wisely with this wisdom you receive. Truth and purpose. The art of the mind. With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair, show up as your true self with light and love in difficult times. The great shift has already begun. The voices of haunted spirits have spoken. Just the breath before their first word sounded like mountains shifting
