That was the hope of the Sisters – share lots of unusual information. We’re all on different paths and you never know what will speak to you. For example, I love your tarot work. I’ve just recently stumbled upon a book about the hero’s journey and how you can use The Tarot to help with your writing. Wow! I never thought about that before so I was tickled to learn about a new path. ❤
