The Mexico City update
Well, I'm finally back. It's a long story.
After the fire I was able by the grace of God , to receive quite a lot of moneyfrom a gofundme that I set up with help from my friends. A few weeks afterwards i realized that the main reason I was staying in New York was because I had a rent stabilized apartment. I was able to keep myself afloat because the rent was cheap and I was a very active and successful Airbnb host.that was my main source of income.
with that gone no art studio no place to live.. I decided to come to Mexico. I thought it would be for six months and the apartment would be habitable again. It isn't in fact I don't think anything has happened or very little since I left. Which was January 2022. It's now June 2023.
the Mexican government had a special deal for people because of Covid if you were here for a set number of days in a certain time period you could pay a feee and get temporary residency.
So I'm living in Mexico City and I'm very happy. i have no desire to return to New York or the states. I'm reinventing a life. My body is different , My mind is different, my outlook everything has changed. I have a GARDEN !!!
The saving grace has been daily meditation [which I've been practicing for more than 20 years]. As well as pendulum clearing and IET. Thank goodness I have those skills and experience.
I don't know where I'm going with the blog will it be spirituality? will it be life in Mexico? Maybe it will be a little of both.
I'm still transforming, and I'm grateful
Blessings, Jeffrey

How a Tarot Reading Can Help You Make Decisions
Can Tarot Really Help Me Make a Decision?
Yes — but not by telling you what to do.
A tarot reading won’t say “Take the job” or “Leave the relationship.” Instead, it shows you:
-
What’s influencing you
-
What fears or desires are present
-
What energy surrounds each option
-
What you’re not seeing clearly
The goal isn’t control — it’s clarity.
Why Is It So Hard to Decide?
Because decisions are rarely just logical.
They’re emotional. Energetic. Tied to identity and fear. Sometimes you're not choosing between Option A and B — you're choosing between comfort and growth, fear and freedom.
Tarot helps you name the real decision behind the surface one.
What Kinds of Questions Can I Ask?
Instead of asking:
Should I do this or not?
Try:
-
What is the energy surrounding this opportunity?
-
What lesson is present in this decision?
-
What will I learn if I choose this path?
-
What am I avoiding in making this choice?
These open questions give the cards space to speak honestly.
What Will the Cards Show?
The cards reflect what’s already happening inside you — your resistance, your longing, your truth. A good reading won’t push you. It will help you recognize the path you already feel but haven’t fully claimed.
Sometimes, you’ll hear what you already knew. That’s confirmation. And that’s powerful.
