I Should Mention. . . .

That this Saturday I will be meeting KH, the girl for whom I did the intense tarot reading/spiritual direction session shortly before Christmas, at her home to work with her again.
I forgot to bring my tarot cards to our last group meeting, so I told her and her friends that we could get together separately and I would do readings for them. I felt like because it was event-connected I didn't feel right charging her -- but this really counts, for me, as my first official session as spiritual director, meeting with someone away from a group event.
And as I approach the meeting, I am realizing how much I need to sit down with myself and come to terms with my feelings about money, and how I'm going to charge people. That part still feels very awkward, and I need to journal about it more to get some clarity.
But I've taken the biggest step: I've connected with someone I didn't know before, and I followed up with her, trusting that I had something to offer that is of value to her, and made an appointment.
And it felt so natural that I almost missed the huge significance of it.
