The Fool said, “lets jump…” I responded, “lets fly.”
This intention has changed my life in the most beautiful and amazing ways. Over the past three months I have flown higher and faster than I ever could have imagined.
At the end of October 2025, I quit my 9 to 5.
Life is overwhelming. I was overwhelmed. Burning all of my candles at both ends and in the middle. I needed a sabbatical. My passion for tarot, while it never waned and was, as it always has been, a labor of love, had begun to feel like a burden. Work all day, come home and work all night on my passion, planning, plotting and never seeming to make headway. I was busy, but I was resentful. How did others seemingly get to do what they love? Why can’t I? I was stuck, I was feeling sick all of the time, I couldn’t get up mornings, and given the option would have slept all day. I was definitely not taking care of myself. I wasn’t exercising, nourishing myself or giving myself the self-care I needed. When I casually said to my good friend and yoga instructor, ‘I haven’t been to yoga in months’ her response was a firm, affirmative head nod, “IT’S. BEEN. MONTHS…” I love yoga. I love how it makes me feel, body and mind, it helps me connect with the universe, I love my yoga community, they’re my friends. Why wasn’t I going? Why wasn’t I reading tarot for myself? I realized what I was giving up on was me, myself and I.
The romantic version of this story is that ‘THE FOOL” came to me in a reading and I knew I had to finally had to jump… to love myself, my life, and give myself, and my tarot career the chance we deserve. To live as joyfully and as freely a life as I possibly can in this world with the time I have left here. It’s never going to be long enough. And to fly, the way I do in my dreams. Even in my dreams though, I kept my ‘flying’ a carefully guarded secret, people won’t understand or, they’ll be annoyed I hadn’t ever shared it with them, or that I’m just plain crazy! Then one night I dreamt I ran and jumped off a cliff in front of everyone I knew, as I ran I yelled, “let’s fly!” So when I dove off head first instead of plummeting, I floated in front of them, they were shocked and afraid, “how are you doing that?” and I said with so much joy, “I’ve always been able to fly, and you can too!”
THE FOOL
~ 0 ~
Invites us to live life with a sense of freedom and naiveté. An offer most of us find impossible to resist. The tarot is said to be the ‘Fools journey.’ It begins for all of us when we first step beyond our threshold… not knowing, while at the same time knowing… everything we need we have within us.
Take the leap!

The real version. Because tbh, I don’t typically make life altering decisions based on dreams and tarot cards… I was just DONE. I was letting down myself, the people I worked for, and the people I worked with. I was deeply unhappy doing what I was doing and I gave notice at work. My last day ever at a 9 to 5 was on October 31, 2025. I went home that night, slept through Halloween and I was sick in one way or another for most of the month of November and into December. My body was forcing me to rest. I was terrified, I was shut down and now that I’d made this huge decision and was now having thoughts I’d never feel like looking at another tarot card again. I abandoned plans I was making for upcoming tarot events. I stopped my monthly writing for a tiny local magazine, I just couldn’t make myself do anything. My website was/is still a disaster, my scheduling platform was/still is a joke, I haven’t posted on socials for three months. As panicked as all of this made me I had to let it all go. It’s the easiest thing to say but the hardest thing to do, but I did. I just let go.
The best part… WHAT I DID DO! 
I traveled to Tucson for the most wonderful Thanksgiving ever! Just me, my daughter, her husband and my baby granddaughter!
I fell for a guy named Hugh.I fell in love! He’s the kindest and the most honest man I’ve ever dated, IYKYK! He treats me like a princess, gives me the space I need when I need it, and he 100% believes in me and in my ability to fly. He’s Amazing!
We spent a week in San Diego & La Jolla together in November.
My daughter, her husband and the baby spent a week at Christmastime here in Hingham with me! (and cumulatively I’ve been able to spend three weeks time in the last three months with my grand baby girl!!!)
Hugh and I went to Costa Rica for almost three weeks beginning in January. Our families traveled to join us for a week in Manuel Antonio, CR at the end of January.
I came home and am committed now more than ever to myself and to my tarot practice.
I am flying! 2026 is the year I became a full-time Tarot Reader!
And last but not least, You know you’re in alignment when Serendipity strikes! A friend, called me out of the blue to say she had an office opening up in her space and would I be able to join her there? YES!! This space has actually been on my radar for at least a half-a-dozen years! And yes, just like #THEMAGICIAN I absolutely manifested this! The process of moving my business out of my home and into a legit office of my own starts the beginning of March. I’ll have regular office hours, offering in person tarot readings, creating, continuing my endless pursuit of tarot knowledge, honing my practice, collaborating, and so, so much more.
So amazing Allison! So proud of you! Sign me up for a reading in March. I’d love to set you up with my sister too/ she is a graphic designer( website) and a medium.
Thank you Brenda. Would love to connect with your sister – sounds like we have a lot in common! Hope to see you soon. xo
