Hey Reader,
Saturday night, TGIC (my weekly kids’ art club) ran a Halloween craft table at the comic shop’s Trunk or Treat — and it was a night.
All week I’d been prepping, trying to pull together enough craft kits for a few hundred kids while juggling work, parenting, and a suspicious lack of sleep. I realized early on that I couldn’t do it alone — or at least, I shouldn’t. So I asked for help.
At Wednesday's craft night, parents and kids jumped in. We made sample crafts, assembled packets, and sorted supplies. By Saturday, we were ready. Well, we thought we were. Right at the start, the skies opened up. Cold, wet, sideways rain and thunder. We were huddled under the store’s awning, soggy but stubborn, when something magical happened: people came to craft while they waited out the storm.
We were slammed — markers, glue, stickers, and googly eyes everywhere — but the laughter, teamwork, and chaos felt good. The storm cleared, my husband (dressed as Freddie Mercury, bless that man) showed up to help, and the night turned into one of the best TGIC events yet. We pushed through the hard part, the sky cleared, and the party kept rolling.
And I realized: just because I can do it all, doesn’t mean I should. Asking for help didn’t dilute the magic — it made it possible.
Weekly Tarot Card.
The Lovers is one of those cards people assume is about romance — but really, it’s about alignment. It’s about making choices that match your values and recognizing where desire meets responsibility. You want to, but should you?
If The Fool leaps, The Magician creates, and The High Priestess listens — The Lovers ask, “Are you doing this because you want to, or because you think you have to?”
This card reminds us that we always have a choice: to overextend ourselves trying to prove we can handle it all, or to choose connection and collaboration instead. Sometimes love isn’t a grand romantic gesture — it’s the quiet act of letting others help you carry the load.
A Powerful Question.
Where in my life do I need to stop proving I can do it all and start letting others support me?
Shameless reminder: I love reading Tarot. I love reading Tarot. My readings don’t stop at “here’s what the cards say.” You get Ally-style coaching baked in, so you can take what you learn and actually do something with it.

Magic happens when you stop doing it all yourself.
