Last week I held a session of readings for my membership group. One of the big topics that came up was faith. In particular, how to get it back. I talk about the importance and power of faith with some regularity. It’s in my books and it’s almost always on my mind. I consider faith to be a cousin to prayer. While prayer is an affirming of what we want to create in our lives, faith is a quiet knowing that it will happen.
Where we can get askew from ourselves is when our prayers go up without faith. We pray for what we want even though we either don’t think we’ll get it or we’re scared something bad is going to happen.
It has been my experience that prayer and faith don’t have to be aligned, but it sure does help if they are. I have experienced times where I was praying for a positive outcome I didn’t expect to receive but then POOF! it happened. However, I think it’s more often the case that if your prayers are positive but you’ve got no faith that something good will happen that usually the lack of faith wins out.
I will be completely honest with you…I have been going throughsome very challenging changes that have tested my faith. It’s been just one hurdle after the other all through 2021 and I am simply exhausted. I feel like I’ve been running a non-stop marathon since last November and I want it to stop. What has gotten me through this difficult time?
My husband and my cards.
For the last few weeks, I have been pulling a card each morning asking “What will today be like for Lee and me?” The cards have been uplifting, reassuring, and spot on accurate. I’ve shared those cards with Lee. Even though Lee is not really woo-woo kind of guy, he has taken them to heart. They’ve been positive and they have been proven to be right every day. It’s also been something of a role reversal for Lee to be the ray of sunshine and carrier of the faith flag in our relationship. That’s always been me, but for whatever reason, I’ve had a harder time in 2021.
I knew that I was going to write this blog on faith this morning, but first I pulled a card from my soon to be released, Guardian Angel Messages Tarot Cards. Once I turned over the card, I laughed. There are two cards in tarot that I consider to be cards of faith. The Star and The Dreamer. The latter was the card I pulled this morning.
The advice I was going to give you in this blog was to (A) Get the assistance of a friend or family member to help build up your faith in yourself, life, and the Divine. (B) Get yourself some positive and optimistic cards (or any other divinatory tool you like) to start off your day on the right foot. And (C) ask your guardian angels to help you every morning.
But today my cards added a fourth tip. (That’s very angel-like of them given that four is the numbers of the angels.) That tip is (D) When praying or even just thinking about your life, take a leap of faith that everything is going to work out for the best. It’s almost like my cards this morning said “take a leap of faith for faith’s sake.”
Because in the end, you are loved. You are watched over. You are precious to your guardian angels and to the Divine. And if you can just have faith in that, you can have faith in anything.
Angel blessings,

I Have Something to Confess …
So… I have something to confess. Something really weird that has been going on in my life since I moved back home to Denver. I’ve been keeping this on the downlow but I guess it’s time for me to “come out of the closet” one more time. I don’t even know how it...
Why Can’t Every Day Be April 7th?
Y’all know I am pretty good at full disclosure. However, I am gawd-awful at taking time off. Seriously, it’s problematic. Everyone says so. To give you a hint, I have been published 14 times over 12 years. My peers think I’m nuts. My publisher adores me. The first few...
My Thumb is Turning Green
Last summer, I purchased an 85-year-old house from a 92-year-old woman. She had lived here for 55 years. By all accounts, she was a master gardener in the past with the front yard being a right-proper English garden. Inside, the entire house had hooks in the...
OMG! My Perfect Day!
I recently had a perfect day. For the record, it was Saturday, March 1st. It had been a long time since I had had one. And honestly, it probably wouldn’t sound like “all that” to most people. But that’s the thing about perfect days. Everybody’s different. The...
I’m Done Playing It Safe
I’m currently in the process of making a big decision. I mean, it’s not a gigantic decision, but it’s still a significant one to me. And what I am increasingly aware of is that it feels like all of my decisions over the last year have been big decisions. Some of...

Thank you for pep talk on faith. Very helpful and appropriate.
Thank you. I have two of your decks and they amaze me every time I use them. Thank you
I love this Rad, it’s such a spot on thing that I needed to read today too. Whenever I feel myself struggling with my faith I will meditate, pull some cards and then surrender it all to the Divine.
Thank you so much for always being real with us, and sharing in your challenges as much as your success. Sending so much love and healing to you, Lee and Riley xx

I am Gobsmacked!!!! I am literally in a Spiritual Crisis. I had not been able to keep up with All the wondrous work you do; blogs included. This particular blog was sitting in my inbox at the Very Same time, I sat my elderly Mother down, and asked to discuss the whole what is GOD; faith how-what, etc…. ✨
