Thank you for your birthday wishes yesterday!
I didn't do anything grandiose this year, but the highlight was dinner at one of my favorite cabaret restaurants, The Pink Door. Since it was a Wednesday, they didn't have their normal burlesque performance or trapeze artist flying over the dining room. But they did have Eugenia Van Vliet, a renowned tarot card reader.
My honey got me a birthday reading. Now Hal doesn't believe in psychics, but he does believe in having a strong sense of perception or intuition. Call it what you will, he knows I love getting my fortune told!
I shuffled the cards and she placed them down one by one to decipher their symbols and meaning. The session was long and her predictions are a blur, but it was overwhelmingly positive. If I put in the effort, I will be rewarded in 2011. My break-out year.
Had she not known it was my birthday, would I have gotten such a stellar reading? Who knows. But what I do know... she gave me hope. I can't imagine a better birthday gift than that :)
Have you ever gotten a tarot card reading?
