Capturing the Splendor of Nature and Divine Light
Oracle Card Readings
On March 13, 2020, after I was told by my employer to start working remotely from home, I thought about how I could use this extraordinary time to expand my Light work. So, I decided to start sharing my personal Oracle Card Readings with a small group of like-minded people. It was my hope that by sharing the messages from Spirit, that they would provide inspiration, insight and partnership. The Readings were so well received that I decided to share them here and sometimes on my YouTube channel.
For the Readings featured in this gallery, Spirit (the non-physical Beings that I refer to as my "Light Family") selected the decks to be used and the cards drawn. It is through the artwork and unique details on the cards, and the juxtaposition of the cards to each other (if more than one card is drawn), that I draw the meaning of the messages from Spirit. My interpretation of the messages are based upon my own personal journey with Spirit, and are not future predictions. The cards and messages are meant to lift your heart and, bring awareness to the truth that we are surrounded and loved by countless Divine agents now and always.
I encourage you to study the individual cards and listen to what your own intuition is telling you. Be your own interpreter.
Also, if you would like to support me with these Readings, I have a created a wish list of Oracle card decks on Amazon. I thank you in advance for your support!

Wishing you and yours good physical and emotional health as you navigate through this life-altering time on our planet.
ITEM #3 - READING FOR DECEMBER 9, 2020
For our reading on December 9, 2020, I shared how I made a cosmic connection with the Spirit of Valerie Harper while I was listening to a podcast. It was when the host of the podcast spoke about "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," that Valerie was instantly with me. I said this was an example of the synchronicities in my life, where one thing leads to another thing, and then to another thing, and these are not random events. They are Divine in nature.
So, after Valerie Harper drew the "Step Into the Unknown" Oracle card featured on the right, I was not surprised when I was led to the next thing, which is the giraffe photograph on the left. Look at these two images side-by-side. What similarities do you see? What do you feel?
This blindfolded giraffe is one of 8 Rothschild's Giraffes in western Kenya that are stranded on a flooded island due to relentless rains.
There is now a rescue mission underway to move the giraffes off the island and into a new sanctuary within the 44,000-acre Ruko Conservancy. The Kenya Wildlife Service, local community members, and conservationists with Save Giraffes Now and the Northern Rangelands Trust are working together to relocate the animals.
The female giraffe in the photograph is named, Pasaka. After she was darted and went down in the brush, the teams were there to put guide ropes around her shoulders and neck, socks in her ears to block out sound, and a blindfold over her eyes to keep her calm.
"It’s not so easy to move these gentle giants. They don't know that you're trying to help them,” said David O’Connor, the president of Save Giraffes Now. “They think you're a predator. So they're really trying to work against you, which makes it even harder.”
Pasaka was then helped to her feet and escorted onto a waiting barge where she sailed to the mainland. Once there, her blindfold was released and she ambled off the barge and into her new home. The plan is to save the remaining giraffes by the end of January.
I share this story with you because Pasaka reminds us of how our fate is intertwined with the fate of other species. We are all living together on planet earth and animals are also having a challenging 2020. As we all step into the unknown, the key to what happens next is in all of our hands.
Post Script: April 14, 2021, marked the day all 9 giraffes had been safely moved off the island. In December, one of the females still on the island, Ngarikoni, gave birth to a calf named Noelle. Ngarikoni and Noelle were two of the final animals to be rescued due to the sensitive nature of moving such a young giraffe.
The rangers reported that the giraffes in the mainland sanctuary are “thriving and look so healthy and happy”. Now, the conservation team is not only keen to protect the 9 rescued ones but also grow the numbers of Rothschild giraffes in the country. For the long-term, they want to “introduce other giraffes from elsewhere in Kenya, in order to build up a genetically healthy population of giraffes in the sanctuary”. Eventually, and assuming all goes well, the giraffes will be released into the Greater Rift Valley ecosystem.
