Blessings to My Dearest Friend, starladyxvii

I’m in the process of moving my blog, and this post was originally posted Dec. 7, 2009:

So much has been happening in my life in the last few months, it’s sent everything into a tailspin. But I think I’m beginning to feel the urge to get back into my groove. Back in Sept, my husband’s brother passed away, and just today we went through his household items that we’ve had stored in our garage.

And on October 17, 2009, my best friend passed away from lung cancer. Only two and a half months passed from the time she found out to the time she passed, certainly not enough time to get my mind around the fact that I’m never going to talk to her again. It’s been very difficult for me.

I met Robyn on the first online tarot group that I ever joined, MSN’s JB’s Tarot for Beginners. It was created from the first online Barnes & Noble University class and she and I were some of the first members, dating back to 2002. We spent many years talking about our favorite decks, what we loved about them, what we didn’t like about other decks; she was my Tarot Touchstone. And since she’s passed, Tarot just hasn’t held the magic that it once did. She was an incredibly special person in my life, and she’ll be greatly missed!

But in the last couple of days I have felt the stirrings of interest in Tarot again, and I’m hoping that I can rekindle my original love, despite her absence.
