Storytelling + a 1 in 7 Million Chance

I’ve been wanting to share the beauty and power of Annie Cattabriga-Alosa’s Rain Forest Wisdom Oracle cards, since she released it last December [2020].

Over several years, Annie conceived and crafted the simply stunning artwork for her 52 card deck, carefully featuring the inherent wisdom of “living beings” in the rainforest — wisdom we all can learn and benefit from in our own lives.

This video shares my own fun, surprising, and extremely statistically unlikely, story with these cards, so far this year.

Since recording this video, I’ve realized one more significant bit of info. A message I kept missing from the wisdom I was being shown. The answer I’ve been seeking for my Self. “Storytelling.”

I’ve been searching for the best way to share my work with the world. It keeps expanding and expanding, and I never feel like I can keep up with it! With nearly everyone I’ve been co-conspiring with lately, our work has centered around how to bring their love to life (aka their “work”), through personal storytelling…and it just hasn’t fully registered with me (duh!) how this can look for me, too. I see this happen all the time. Our brains “get it,” and transformation only happens when we actually embody and “be” that understanding. I LOVE powerful breakthroughs like this!

The message I received is a message we all can benefit from. We get to stop trying to "explain" to get people to understand us. Instead, we get to share personal stories, that allow other people to “get it” because they can relate. Storytelling brings us (back) together.

PEARL OF WISDOM: If the same thing keeps showing up in my life, whatever it may be, it’s telling me to look, again, and see what’s’ right in front of me, that I have missed. Just like I can’t step-in the same river twice, because the river and I are constantly evolving … I can never *really* pick the same card twice (or more). Keep listening. Look again.
