Well, here we are. Months of planning. Years of dreaming. And today the movers come to load this ocean of cardboard boxes onto a truck. My house looks like the warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant was stored away at the end of the movie “Indian Jones and the Lost Ark.” Remember how at the end of the movie the labeling on the box burned away effectively hiding the ark from anyone trying to find it in the warehouse? I’m hoping that’s not going to be the fate of my tarot cards when we arrive at our new home.
There is something cathartic about having to weed out all your possessions down to just what you truly want or need to have. When I look around the house, I see a lot of boxes but in my mind, I know of the countless trips to charities donating clothing and household goods that didn’t make the cut. What I see in front of me is literally what we truly care about and not one shred of paper, piece of art, or article of clothing more. Of course, there is a box or two of sentimental stuff that probably should’ve been tossed before making this journey, but seriously… that’s it. Just a couple of small boxes.
So this is it. This is my life encapsulated in cardboard.
Soon, I will be standing in the empty house that Lee and I fell in love with nearly 10 years ago. It’s filthy, and that’s the next task… to clean it up for the new people (who are lovely by the way) to build their lives in this magical place. They plan to have kids. There’s never been kids in this house. The thought of little ones squealing on Christmas Day in this house makes me smile like a total goofball. I’m very happy for that new development.
I have sung this metaphorical song before. I have walked out of houses that I have owned knowing that I will most likely never set foot in the house again. I know what’s coming. Time will literally stop. In the moment before I walk out the door, time will standstill and memories of the last 10 years will flood over me. Christmases and Halloweens. Joys and sorrows involving Raven and Jace. Watching Riley grow from a fearful, terrified little girl to the Queen of the Palace. Lee’s and my birth families meeting for the first time right before our wedding. Times of great triumphs and devastating losses.
Life happened here. And life will continue to happen in the new house. We grew a lot living here and we will grow some more where we’re going. Just in a different way.
But in this moment, what I feel is gratitude. Gratitude to this magical, awesome home for having protected us, nurtured us, laughed with us and cried with us.
Thank you house. Thank you angels. Thank you Source.
And with that, the movers are here. So here we go.
Angel blessings,

Energetic Weather Report for May 15th – 21st
Well, I’ve just got Archangel Power Tarot Cards on the brain this week! And boy did they have a very strong message. For them to be so repetitive must mean some of us are being resistant to letting the past go. But apparently, we really need to! Get the scoop here!...
Mercury Retrograde Card Reading
Well, here we go again. Mercury Retrograde has begun (Tuesday, May 7th) and will be on a little backwards romp through our charts until June 3rd. I know that Merc Retro makes a lot of people nervous. It’s an awfully personal planet given that it represents technology,...

It has been way too long since I reached out to the fairies for an Energetic Weather Report, so it was time for Fairy Tarot Cards! The fairies are often direct with a bit of sassy in their message, and this time was no different. Go and get their advice for the week...
Mirror, Mirror, on the Card
There is a card in tarot called the Five of Fire (or Five of Wands in traditional circles.) Like all tarot cards there are multiple meanings for the Five of Fire. Most often, it represents conflict, challenges, disagreements. Sometimes the “conflict” can be as simple...

Congratulations on your new journey! On some level, I feel selfish as I believe that you won’t be in Denver anymore (which is where I live). 🙁
I can’t wait to hear all about it. Blessings!
That is some adventure you and Lee have had!!!! May it continue with many more years of blessings and joy filled moments ❤️
Thank you, Radleigh. This resonates personally for me. I recently sold the first home I ever own and where I lived following an 18 year long abusive relationship with an alcoholic. The home was my sanctuary – where I felt safe. I found my voice there, had new loves and experienced life altering loss while living there (losing 3 close family members in 4 yrs). A few weeks before I left, I wrote a letter to the house. Giving gratitude for keeping me safe and being a place where friends and family would gather for parties and everyone was welcome. That was one of the most cathartic exercises for me.
Wishing you all the best in your new home and thank you again for taking the time to share this. Much love <3
Lovely post, Radleigh. You brought back memories of my first and only family’s home of my life until I moved to attend graduate school. Mom and Dad moved into this home when expecting my arrival on the planet. That was my homestead. Years past and so did Dad and Mom became too disabled to live in that big house. Mom moved to a nursing home near my sister’s home. I was visiting with Mom in the nursing home and she just wanted to go home. Here’s where that memory was triggered by your post, Radleigh. We were selling the house to a nice young couple. I told Mom that we needed to let another family create their life long family memories just as we had in that lovely home she and Dad made for us. Mom realized that was a good thing and it eased her mind. Thank you so much for bringing this loving memory back for me.
Hello Radleigh,
Sending you a big magical hug, sorry to hear you lost your baby Jace.
I truly feel your pain.We lost one of our girl 2 years ago, but I can tell you one thing they are always around you. I feel Bonny a lot and she makes sure you know she is with us.
Embrace your new home and move may it bring you all the happiness in the world.
