One of my awesome team members recently posted a meme on my social media pages. It read:
“If I waited until I had all of my ducks in a row, I’d never get across the street. Sometimes you just have to gather up what you’ve got and make a run for it.”
Brilliant!
The quote was attributed to Judge Lynn Toler, though in all honesty I never could confirm that with 100% accuracy. But it seemed to be correct.
How many of us are constantly trying to get everything perfect before we take action? Does it seem to you like a spiritual epidemic that people stand on the sidelines wringing their hands lest they make a mistake?
I know I’ve done that. The old Certified Public Accountant in me wants every T crossed and every I dotted and the risk of anything less than perfection to be near zero.
If that sounds like you… if you’re procrastinating taking your big leap of faith, then I have news for you…
You need to make a run for it.
I am by no means telling you to jump off a cliff all willy nilly. I’m all for planning and preparation. But when planning turns into eternal delays, that’s when you know you have a problem. If it seems to you that your life purpose or dreams are just getting farther and farther away, then maybe that’s your clue it’s time to finally let go of your fear and just go for it!
Here’s another analogy. Imagine that your little boat of dreams is tied to the dock. You’ve been getting it ready for your big adventure. Your trip of a lifetime. The boat is stocked and the crew is ready. But every issue turns into a fear of failure for you.
It might rain. It might snow. The wind might blow in the wrong direction. What if you get lost?
The truth is, you’re already lost. Your boat is tied to the pier and your destination is across the sea. You can’t get any more lost than that!
The time has come for you to untie your little boat. Go on your adventure! If it rains, take cover. If the winds blow the wrong way, reset your sails. If you get lost, then trust that the Universe is taking you to an even better destination than you could’ve come up with for yourself.
Or just look to the sky and search for a friendly star.
The Divine always shines brightly!
Quack quack,

Help from the Angels During These Challenging Times
In March of 2018, I signed a contract with Hay House to create two new decks. People are always surprised at how long it takes to publish something like a tarot deck. In comparison, books are a piece of cake. But tarot and oracle decks require way more planning - not...

Energetic Weather Report for September 20th – 26th
It’s a very “earthy” week! By that I mean that 5 of the 7 cards were from the Suit of Earth (aka Coins). Sounds like a lot of us are very focused on career and thoughts of prosperity! Things look good, but it will require a little bit of planning on your part. Make...
Wow this is a synchronicity for me! Thank you so much, Radleigh!
This is so true Rad! I had been holding off from doing courses for tarot and my spirituality, because I didn’t know if I was good enough. Thanks to a little book called “How to be your Own Genie” it gave me the push I needed. But then, the amazing thing happened to be that as soon as I had decided to do it, then your 7 wonders of Tarot class popped up! Of course it was fab, and I followed it up with Tarot Made Easy, then joined Certified Angel Tarot Now I’m really on my way, and gaining in confidence rach day. If I hadn’t been awake, I could have missed those signs pushing me to move forward. Now I can’t wait for Angel’s and Aura’s to add another string in my spiritual bow.
I love this! Gather up what you’ve got and make a run for it. Aye, Aye, Captain!
Dear Radleigh
Thank you for this perfect
inspiration! You always know just the right message to send and encourage us!
