Loki's all up in my brain this afternoon, wanting me to draw cards from a deck that I don't use very often (although it's one of my oldest decks), the Robin Wood Tarot. I've used cards from this deck for spells, so it's not exactly a full deck (kind of fitting, though, present company!). But it's want He wants to use.
So Loki, what's your message?
5 of Cups - Look for the positives.
Strength Reversed - A fear of loneliness.
6 of Cups Reversed - Delay.
Hm, quite different than yesterday...well kind of. It's more like "Hey yesterday's reading is still happening, just not quite as quick your impatient butt would like. Don't fret."
Yesterday, I did have one of those down moments of small business when I visited my et y and saw new shop favorites and likes, but still no purchases.
Bittersweet, right? I appreciate the likes, follows, and hearts of course! Thank yall for those! Having purchases would definitely be a cherry on top.
Not a fan of Et y messaging me with "Hey keep your chin up, partner!" when they're continuously screwing over handcrafters and small businesses alike. Like I'd rather it just message me for new messages and purchases, not BS pep talks from a company that doesn't actually give a crap about people like me, just taking more than half of our profits to line their greedy pockets. But I don't have the funds for my own website or to pay $30+ a month for another selling platform (I'm not consistently making enough yet for those expenses). Shoot, I barely have the spoons most days for FB's BS.
BUT Loki says to keep my head held high and try to use some of that patience I've been working on the last couple of years. Keep on, keeping on. I do have new products in the works, and I've been resting and taking breaks so I don't burn myself out. All of the kids are going to school, which means I'll have more time, space, and energy for some of my bigger projects. I'm learning from my new, old, and potential customers, too, and am working to make my products better. Always learning and improving!
Plus, I've got two events coming up in October. I do love vending! Don't let the small business downs...or Et y...keep you down.
