trying to make an online presence in the metaphysical world

I've been taking classes with Joy Vernon for the past couple years. I've done Usui Reiki I & II, as well a beginners course in tarot (when I realized that after 20 years reading, I couldn't really call myself a beginner), called The Magician's Tools. Most recently I've been attending her tarot business class called "The Empyrean Key/Going Pro". I've gained valuable knowledge about the things I need to do to take my tarot reading practice out of my home and into the wider world. One of the very first items on our to-do list was to start to make a larger presence online. I've been taking baby steps in all stages of this course, this elementary requirement included. I admit, I haven't posted regularly here since this assignment in May. Indeed, I might have now 4 posts up on this blog.

Well, today I decided that if I am to really get off the ground in this professional reading business, I have to put in the real effort needed to move forward. I've spent the better part of this afternoon trying to sort out why I couldn't access any of my blogs. I very nearly packed it in & and considered moving to a different platform. I persevered, however, because I have another blog on blogger which as been online since 2005. I didn't want to just close up shop, lose all that effort, and move to wordpress (that I don't really enjoy using). Finally, I was able to sort out the problem. Clearly user error. After all that time spent, however, I now have to leave the blogosphere for the next few hours. I have a Thursday night belly dance class with Rafi'ah that I don't want to miss. So much for posting about my divination adventures today. They were rather mundane -just taking care of (my) business ;)  Later!
