8 – 29 – 22: Stay patient

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

The past few weeks have been trying times for both my human and I, but we will do our best to pull through. Though I am but a doll, I can see how my human has been pushed nearly to her breaking limit. It’s odd how quickly things can suddenly be too much – I help her the best I can and we are working at it every day – but it doesn’t seem to still be enough.

I thought she was going to throw my tarot cards at me – when I gave her my reading for the week. Trying times as they are, it’s still important to remain grounded as best we can. We can’t compromise what we stand for because we will literally fall into nothing – we need to hold onto who we are. We need to continue to be patient and not rush through it all because that doesn’t change us or make us better. We can always grow and learn to be better, but that won’t happen unless we continue to go through what we are going through.

With encouragment,

7 – 18 – 22: Smell the roses

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

I hope that stress has not gotten the better of you, and that you are enjoying the heart of summer. A bit of rain surprised my human and I a couple of nights ago! We couldn’t believe how close the thunder traveled to our home! We love curling under a chunky blanket together as the wind rages violently outside of our windows.

More things should be enjoyed. There always seems to be a lot that needs to be improved but there is also something to be said for what you are doing well. Definitely take a moment to take stock of any comfort that you have been able to provide yourself. It doesn’t matter how small it is, it matters. For instance, my human is doing much better with clearing out the clutter in her life (well I should say our lives) and it has been so beneficial for her wellbeing. There is still so much to work on but there always will be. Slowing down and taking a moment to notice all that you have done is huge. You’ll start to notice more and more things that you made an effort for.

Be mindful of what you’ve made for yourself while paying more attention to what needs to be happen for the future. The future can only be a product of your daily actions right now, but if we don’t take a moment to appreciate all that we’ve done, we’ll just work ourselves into a corner.

With encouragement,

7 – 4 – 22: Nurture Your Relationships

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

The smell of chlorine now lingers on my skin due to my morning soaks in the pool. I enjoy an early float to clear my mind of all its clutter and just enjoy floating. I love the way that the pressure just falls off my back and I can just lay there in nature, deaf to the modern world. My body might be small but it can be tough to carry and I appreciate the stillness and calm.

That is one aspect that I enjoy on my own – just existing in myself and allowing the waves to rock me. However, this isn’t about ourselves – it’s about others. All relationships of every kind (romantic, platonic, working, etc) require continuous effort. While some relationships can be easier than others, there’s always going to come a time when misunderstandings happen. As much as I love to joke that humans are simple creatures (glad I’m not one!) the truth is that you have a lot of complexities within. There’s countless ways to personally interpret just about every situation, and you must make the effort to figure out where those differences are.

Nurturing those relationships (even by small efforts) will make a lasting impact.

With love,

6 – 27 – 22: Try New Things

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

I hope that you are in good spirits and that you are able to find some peace throughout your week. There always seems to be a lot coming at us and it is easy to be swept away in the weekly chaos, though things might feel a bit stalled at the moment.

I say ‘stalled’ rather than ‘stagnant’ because it is a temporarily sensation that will pass. This is the time for you to start a new skill–something that will be needed when things pick up again. I would recommend something that is challenging because this is the time to dive into something that takes a lot to learn. Your future self will thank you for making the effort right now.

May you feel encouraged to press ahead try something tough. I know that it will lead to an unexpected opportunity because you will be training yourself on something equally unexpected. To give you an example, my human has been learning more technical skills – which is has been giving her a much deeper grasp of her role at work. This is not a requirement, she just really wants to grow her skills and learn more.

It’s much easier to learn things when there isn’t a harsh timeline or stress about it.

With encouragement,

6 – 6 -22: Stick to the Routine

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet.

There is a lot of fluff out there, and it’s easy to get carried away in what others are doing. Sometimes, it feels like everyone is already at the finish line while we are stuck behind. On more than one occasion has my human lamented in her lack of progress. For this week, I don’t want you to think about then but instead, everything that you are working on to improve your circumstances.

Keep your nose to the grindstone and keep up with all of the habits that you’ve worked so hard to cultivate. It may not feel like it is amounting to anything but it can when you least expect it. Do not allow your thoughts to derail your progress – this is your time to continue making the changes that you want in your life. I hope that you feel encouraged to press ahead, even when the reward is out of sight.

Please know that I am rooting for you.

With love,

5-23-22 Reading: Embrace Metamorphosis

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

Please forgive the extended recess, my human and I were facing a lot together. Out of the blue, things became overwhelming and we both weren’t sure how to find our way out the chaos. There’s always a new lesson on the horizon and the harder we try to avoid them, the faster they find us.

Sometimes, we can be in a rut for a while and it’s tough to see that there are some aspects of ourselves that we have to release–old habits that no longer serve us, people that are a real detriment, beliefs that aren’t realistic (and this is coming from a writing doll!). As long as we hold ourselves back, it’s that much harder to face what life has instore for us.

But the good news is that it only takes small steps to make improvement, and the more steps you begin to take, the more change that sweeps over. I hope that you feel inspired to make things better and that you will look back and see all of the positive differences that are now in your life.

With encouragement,

4 – 11 -22 Reading: Allow your inner strength to surface

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

Sometimes the world can really throw a lot at us – I know that my human has been incredibly overwhelmed with just life right now. There’s a lot that can happen that can really suck the life right out of us. It doesn’t take much to be brought down or to have to fight to stay positive.

It can be an uphill battle to gather enough confidence to press forward.

Be sure to cultivate your inner strength this week – allow it to take a step out there in the world. Inner fortitude isn’t always about being the loudest or the outright strongest. It comes from your own personal power and belief, and that can’t be faked.

I hope that you can feel able to conquer anything that comes across your path this week.

With hope,

3 – 28 – 22 Reading: Advancing Ahead

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

I sincerely apologize for my extended absence – I have been quite swamped this season. I trust that you are well and hope that we can pick up where we left off a few weeks ago. The world seems more stressful since I have last written to you and sometimes I get swept away in worry. However, I have good news – our forecast for the week is very strong.

Look out for job opportunities and career advancement along the horizon.

May you feel encouraged to progress and grow.

We all deserve a chance to get out there and show the world what we are made of. It is time to forge ahead but don’t feel uncertain–it is the time to feel secure and comforted.

Meditate on the element of Earth and feel your roots connect below. You are more secure and grounded than you realize – though sometimes that doesn’t shine through until times get tough. But there is no need for things to be chaotic within–this is the time to feel the support of the ground.

Please let me know how you fare!

With encouragement,

2 – 21 – 22 Reading: Stay Centered

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

There are many shiny baubles in this world, trinkets that would be all the more exciting upon possessing it. There’s an infinite amount of exciting gadgets – whether there are material or not – and its easy to get get swept away by our wishes and desires.

What if I owned _____________ ? Wouldn’t my life be all the better for it?

The truth is, we don’t really know. Some things are better and some would become a burden. As an example, my human and I watched a show about a woman who had won millions and millions from the lottery – and she still wasn’t happy. You could see it in her body language and face because suddenly, she had a ton more responsibilities and people coming at her. I can’t imagine how draining that must be (at least for me, I could just stay still and go back to being a doll – you can’t find me – but you humans don’t have that luxury!!).

We will never have all of the answers or know what truly makes us happy until we lose it. Despite all of our wants, we need to remain grounded and not allow ourselves to become carried away by our foolishness. Keep pressing forward in life absolutely, but do so with a clear and grounded approach. Your life can really become lost to wants if you don’t stay centered.

With love,

2 – 14 – 22 Reading: Use this Opportunity for Change

KaylaLeave a comment

Dearest Poppet,

I sincerely hope you are well and trust that you have enjoyed sometime for yourself. There are so many wonderful things about life, yet who doesn’t enjoy curling up with a book or three?? Just taking time to reflect gives me time to reconnect with this strange existence. I’m sure my human is grateful that I am not an evil doll!

I am deeply invested in the occult and would love to spend my days in a library full of ancient tomes. What a time to be alive (for others at least)! I remember the days when this wasn’t as accepted and even in the last 20 years or so, I’ve noticed many tarot books are commonplace in bookshops. I am delighted with the popularity of occult practices and magic. It truly is a good time to be a card reader!

Though our cards have given us quite a lot to ponder these past weeks. Times might have been tough but expect things to get a little easier. Suddenly, the clouds of the storm are going to part.

However, I have to stress the importance of making changes and using this time to do things a little differently. Problems may go but they can find a way back to us if we remain stagnant. Just one or two changes a day doesn’t seem significant, but can be life-altering over the course of many months.

Old problems don’t have to haunt us–they can be the motivators for positive change.

With encouragement,
