Reflections: Radiate
So interesting to see the unusual flow of so many shades of blue interrupted by this summery card
Radiate: here in the UK it is summer, even though the weather recently has not been very good - lots of rain and clouds here in Cornwall, and now this week the sun has come out and it has been glorious. Such a cheerful card: I think of the smiles of the people here on holiday, of the joy of connecting with you however we do that.
If you would like to join me in reflection, ask yourself the questions here, and write in your journal. Or, if you prefer, read on and come back later.
- What is your first response? To the word? To the colour?
- What else is there?
- And, what else?
- What does Radiate add to the other cards so far? How do the colours connect together?

Reflections: Intuition
My goodness, another blue, I have never seen such a flow of cards all in these shades. With each additional blue card, the warm red of story stands out even more somehow. That is my first response.
Intuition - the word also seems to continue a theme, how interesting.

Dare to Blossom Cards Deck 3: 'Time for You'
Reflections: Vision
My goodness, another blue, a brighter, sky blue, yet still continuing the theme for another month, apart from March's soft red of Story. That is my first response.
Vision. What do I see ahead, away in the distance, beyond my current planning of tasters and the next programme?

New Dare to Blossom Cards: 'Time for You' now available
'Time for You' celebration at 7.30 pm Monday 29th April
'Space to Be, Space to Breathe' Compass Rose Programme begins on 3rd June
Reflections: Growth
This card - Growth - made me smile. The new Time for You cards grew from a seed of an idea, into a new offering very quickly, as you will see below. And then I was struck by the colours - the pattern of turquoise blue/greens with the warm red of Story in the middle.

Reflections: Reflect
My first response to seeing the card for April was to laugh. Once I included this word, Reflect, in the No 2 Deck, it was bound to come up for this piece entitled 'Reflections' sooner or later.

First Anniversary Book Publication Celebration events
As often happens, I am sending the newsletter early to give you a chance to join me in events right at the end of February. (I used to send extra 'bulletin' emails but often people only want to hear from me once a month.)
This time it is the two celebration Zoom gatherings to mark the first anniversary of the publication of 'Your Compass Rose Speaks: Rediscover Your Inner Wisdom.'. Each will last about an hour, If you have your own copy I would love to hear your feedback. You may like to choose a short passage to read during one of the events?And, if you are like me, and enthusiastically buy books, only for them to sit in a 'to read' pile for a while - maybe this is a gentle prompt to dip in?
They are on Tuesday 27th February at 7.30 pm UK time. Zoom link here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86535544264 There is a new review of the book on Amazon, and my website, with thanks to Jacqui Empson-High. Here is an extract, with a link to read the full review.
A Gentle Way to Discover Who You Really Are
Mary Lunnen has not only written a book that can speak to all who are eager to discover who they are and what they want from their lives, she has created a template that everyone can use for themselves, at their own pace in a time of their choosing. In a world filled with technology and a need to always be ‘doing’ something to fit in all you are expected to achieve, this book is an antidote to rushing around and ticking off items on a to-do list.
