1. Hi everyone! I'm Christi from North Carolina in the States. I did a thing that looks crazy to everyone in my life, but feels incredibly right to me (which is strange in and of itself because I have a tendency to be preoccupied with the opinions of others). I left an 18-year teaching career (middle grades and high school English/Language Arts) several years short of retirement to think, write, and read Tarot. I am not independently wealthy, so this looks and even feels risky, but I know it's aligned. I started a transcription business as well for some additional income, but this time is really for me to find the old creative me that I lost somewhere along the way.

2. My Substack is a memoir-style journey through the Tarot. I have only just started, but I love getting back into the flow of daily writing again.

3. My teaching life was so frenetic that I had little energy when I got home to do anything but doom scroll through social media and watch mindless TV. I even worked all weekend on grading and lesson planning, so I was always exhausted. My new morning and evening routines are so much more easeful. With my morning coffee, I do a daily tarot pull to set the tone and then do a bit of journaling. With my evening tea, I read a chapter or so of a soul nourishing book (right now I'm rereading The Mists of Avalon!).

I think it's great that you took that leap of faith to do something you felt you needed to do and was going to be more aligned with what you love at this time. I hope you will continue to feel more energised on this new journey!

Hi, Chrisi🔆

I love this! Some years ago, I was contacted privately on Facebook about a new “Everything is Energy” group. That led me to enrolling in an intuition mentorship program. Interestingly, my intuition said, “This is done for you,” and so it was. (Smiling) I love this part of me which is really all of me. I look forward to knowing more about your experiences.

It's scary to be vulnerable and put yourself out there, but I started small with a tiny women's circle, and now I found a safe place at Substack. I am so looking forward to all the beautiful connections we are going to make.
