This reflection on how "12 Week Years" helped me with my poetry collection is one of my favorite things I've published. Thankfully, I've felt this almost every week, every new Post. I've got more. I'm honored to be able to share. It's never too late to start something new.

🫖🔮I'm taking on new Tarot Card and Tea Leaf Reading clients on Zoom for the first time in awhile. 🧀🔭AND Tarot Readings with Cheese Astrology Affirmations. Book Here: calendly.com/tabithadial

The Wizard of Oz was a huge influence on me as a young girl. I had long felt our friend the Tin Man sabotaged himself. I understood him as I wrote a poem from his POV- 8 years ago. Check it out: open.substack.com/pub/tabithad... And create your refuge. XOXO

Made a new friend on the way to Independence Hall, appropriately enough.

I wanted to fall asleep while starting "Charlotte's Web" Maybe that's on Insight Timer. No I'm not staying up til midnight! I couldn't do that when I was in my 20s, and that was 20-odd years ago!!

Curious what tomorrow's Full Moon brings? Want to use your energy to create refuge? Hope y'all enjoy reading this Tarot article for the Full Moon in Scorpio as much as I enjoyed writing it. open.substack.com/pub/tabithad...

🧵Unique Tea Leaf Reading opportunity in this thread: Writers Retreats can lead to new disciplines outside of writing. 👩🏻‍🌾Going last year inspired me to take gardening very seriously: I'm returning to a retreat features fresh foods that incorporate veggies grown on site.

It's still afternoon somewhere and I was all up in the violets. Not really: Hey, y'all. How are you this allergy season?

💙🌻There will always be more flowers to sow-- but we're getting garden stuff done! 📚🤝🏻Forgot to check off that I posted my daily poem for National Poetry Month to friends at Jersey City Writers. 👩🏻‍🌾💙Do I garden for the poems hidden in the soil? Maaaaybe!

Yeah, we're full of beans. We're soaking beans for cooking and beans for growing!

Naps aren't happening, yesterday or today. Maybe I need to draw a Tarot Card to see why...

Wee spring plants headed for a big Transplant Thursday! A high of 50 and low of 30 this Wednesday won't cut it.

"Graciousness and gratitude are what we need to lead with." 🔮Completed a psychic reading swap with the organizer of a local Metaphysical event. 💙Ended it speaking this little nugget.

They snuck up on me. Potatoes are so easy to grow and idk why I questioned them!

Blink and you'll miss the beginnings of a blue potato crop! 🧵

☔️Oh my! We've got rain all day tomorrow! 📏1/4 inch, 100% chance, 10-20 mph winds. ❓️Do I keep my early spring plants inside instead of continuing to harden them off? 🌦They might like the rain. These plants and I thank you! Today's Day Six of preparing them to grow outdoors. They started inside.

🤔Do you use talismans as you write? 👩🏻‍🌾With the second week of my "Curious Contents" class, I suggest that garden tools can be talismans used for an Automatic Writing Routine. ✍️🏻Happy Writing!

Oh, I love it! The little 🧜‍♀️ nooks! The green walls and the windows! What a working space. Congrats. Can't wait to see its final form. Do you need a few pothos plants for it??

😬I collected a few varieties of pepper seeds and neglected labeling them!! 🫑"Tin" hasn't taken. Or "Farmers Market", but "Ring a Bell?" has! Create your refuge. Much love.

🧵 👩🏻‍🌾💙Got nicknames for mystery seeds? 🤦‍♀️Rookie Mistake: I didn't properly seal my fall seeds, so one of my "Fortune Favors the Fall" plants is growing this spring. 🥬 (cabbage? arugula?). Also--

👩🏻‍🌾Field Trip Day Three! 🙌🏻Cold weather plants have all been uppotted. 😉Except that kitchen scrap in the glass. Placing that in its bed ... by the weekend? 🐿Green onion from last year (the old defense in the ground around the birdfeeder) are here, too.

🧵 ✍️🏻👻Week One of the "Curious Contents: A Writing Routine with Automatic Writing & Personal Divination" virtual class was a blast!!! 🔮In the name of cartomancy, I pulled these. DECKS: 🧙🏻‍♀️Witches Literary Oracle 🎨Paint Chip Poetry #5amwritersclub #automaticwriting #virtualwritingworkshop

🌱Red onion from kitchen straps, everything else from seed: white onion, leeks, kohlrabi, cabbages, lettuce. ✍️🏻Other plants stay inside, cause they don't have "hardy early spring" permission slips-- 👩🏻‍🌾First field trip to be hardened off. 💙Let's go!!
