Tarot Reading at Dobra Tea

On Friday, I drove Alexa, Paul and myself about 2 hours from Asheville to Courthouse Falls, where I dunked myself into *freezing* cold water under a magnificent waterfall. Throughout the course of this trip, I took about a thousand photos (probably not so many). I was especially fond of Alexa and Paul's faces when they got into the freezing cold water, haha. After this little adventure we meandered back to Asheville and grabbed some tea at Dobra Teahouse. :)

While at the Teahouse, all three of us had our Tarot cards read by a woman who purportedly has 18 years of experience in tarot reading. I must say, even for those who didn't believe in the spiritual side of tarot reading, we all determined that she was very good at reading people. Alexa almost cried after her reading because it was so surreal.

My tarot reading stated that I needed to get my financial situation in order. I need to figure out what I'm passionate about and go for a career. Because the next step in my life is to make that career happen. In order to figure out this financial trajectory, I will need to take a journey. Perhaps travel in Europe for a while. The reader also suggested that not be tied down to a certain place at this point in my life and to explain to my husband that traveling would be the best thing for me right now and that if he held me back I would resent it in the future. A very interesting reading considering the journey I had decided to undertake this summer.

After our tarot readings, the three of us grabbed ingredients from the grocery store and threw together a delicious meal: sesame encrusted tofu, stir fried veggies, and a mango dessert drink. I was excited to hear that Alexa and Paul, who don't normally enjoy tofu, liked the tofu I made. :) Later that night I got a sad call from Richard and I decided that maybe now was not the right time to take this journey across the states. So on Saturday morning, after not hearing back from Sky about a random road trip to Athens, GA, I packed up and headed home. Sadly, about an hour into my return trip I finally got a text from Sky inviting me to join the mini-roadtrip, which I then had to decline. I'm still beating myself up a little for that because I think had I went with that group to Athens I would have stayed on my course and finished my trip. But, it's too late for that now, so I won't beat myself too badly. It seems that my documentary will have to move to a back burner for a little while. But no fear! I plan to finish it sometime in the next 2 to 3 years.

Oh, by the way, eleven hours of driving time isn't much better the second time around. :/
