Alyson’s 2/20 Tarot：明朗/通透 Illumination

Alyson’s 2/20 Tarot：明朗/通透 Illumination 昨日凌晨突然清醒 以為已是早晨 看了時鐘發現才僅睡了2個多小時 於是再躺回床上希望能夠再入睡 翻來覆去還是難眠狀態 索性俐落起床 換了一身運動服裝 在自己客廳裡做暖身操、原地踏步走 發揮當日牌卡”創造力”的其中一個特質 ~ 改變原有習性 於是就在醒來、運動、睡覺、醒來、閱讀中 度過已很久沒有如此充實的早晨時光 今天我自己的塔羅牌抽到”明朗/通透” 這也是權杖牌卡之一 權杖，是個人信念、意念的範疇 透過創造力發揮 昨日下午也外出散步 這已暌違好幾個月的活動項目 在春暖花開的天氣裡總算恢復了 傍晚想一想創造力還能如何運用 於是開始整理起廚房的儲物櫃 讓儲存的乾糧食物能在賞味期限裡發揮它們的價值 完成一件一件小事情 這也代表著自己的內心裡很清楚明白 該做什麼 可以怎麼做 能夠如何做 雖慢，可是有確實進行，那就是不同 這也安撫了一直有點內疚的小心靈 知道自己過於懶散 有時也會因懶惰、提不起勁的狀態，對自己生氣 現在好了 開始動了 環境，整齊清潔，淨化了 心，舒坦許多，也就像是經過洗滌般，明朗通透 Yesterday, in the early hours of the morning, I suddenly woke up, thinking it was already morning. Checking the clock, I realized I had only slept for a little over two hours. So, I tried to go back to sleep, tossing and turning, but still unable to doze off. I decided to get up decisively, changed into workout clothes, and did some warm-up exercises and paced around in my living room. I applied one of the traits of "creativity" from yesterday's card—changing old habits. Thus, I spent a morning filled with waking up, exercising, sleeping, waking up, and reading, something I hadn't experienced in a long time. Today, my own tarot draw revealed "illumination," also one of the suit of wands cards. Wands represent personal beliefs and thoughts. Through exercising creativity, I also went for a walk yesterday afternoon, an activity I hadn't done in months. Finally, in the warm spring weather, I resumed it. In the evening, I pondered how else I could utilize creativity. So, I began organizing the kitchen pantry, ensuring that the stored dry food items would be used within their expiration dates to maximize their value. Completing each small task also signifies clarity within myself—I know what needs to be done, how to do it, and what I'm capable of doing. Though progress may be slow, it's still progress, and that's what makes it different. It also soothes the slightly guilty conscience that I've been feeling due to my laziness. Sometimes, I get angry with myself for being too lazy or lacking motivation. But now, things are better. I've started moving. The environment is tidy and clean, purified. My mind feels much more at ease, as if it's been cleansed, clear, and transparent. #DreamCatcher #Tarot #Tarotreader #Tarotcards #Illumination #Wands #Dream #Alyson #塔羅 #捕夢人 #權杖 #明朗通透 #信念

2024 0620 今日塔羅：創造者 Inventor

2024 0620 今日塔羅：創造者 Inventor 昨白天搞砸了兩件事情，精神因前天的晚上，為了準備充裕點好面對昨晚塔羅面談，複習相關資料到凌晨兩點多，後又因太晚去睡覺而遲遲無法順利入睡，導致睡眠不足而恍惚。 第一件事，每天我會在第一聲鬧鐘醒來，起床準備早餐。 早餐準備很簡單兩步驟，按下咖啡機，按下電鍋蒸蛋和饅頭。 然後回去床上賴床一下。 結果昨早上，我忘記了。 想起來時趕緊跑進廚房，要出門時，發現饅頭的中間仍是冷凍狀態，當下沒想那麼多，將蛋放進去午餐袋後，就出門。 等紅綠燈的時候，肚子有點餓，想拿出雞蛋吃，發現只摸到熱呼呼的液狀物質。 看。 我的媽呀！沒有熟的蛋，破殼了，蛋黃流淌在袋子裡，又透過袋子網隙縫滴到車子椅墊上。 顧不了課程已開始進行，清潔、整理要先進行，否則下課時開車門，經過高溫曬過的蛋液，不臭也腥。 今天老師要搭乘火車回台北。 想說順路，載她一程。 到了車站，老師沒下車，繼續在車上跟我聊天。 我不知道車站前停車有科技執法的攝像機，等發現時，已不知道拍了多少照片，罰單會有幾張？罰款會有多少？ 我害怕，卻也無能為力。 自己沒有留心、留意，能怪誰。 晚上要進行面談考試了。 資料好多，頭好痛，肚子好餓，怎麼辦？ 早餐的內容，晚上再吃一次，最是省時，省力，省心。 電鍋蒸著，人先睡著，資料放著，二十分鐘後，醒了，頭不痛了，有食物吃了，可專心讀書了。 今晚有點苛刻自己，無妨。 畢竟，經年累月的積累出來的胖，很久才這樣精簡的一頓，撼動不了已穩若磐石肥肉的。 完成一件拖延二年多的事情。 總算，完成。 原本的一手好牌，被我的漫不經心，拖延至情勢轉變了，不怪誰，但必須得責罰自己。 錯誤的代價，沒上心，等於沒學到，白搭，白費。 如何責罰呢？ 要求自己接下來的暑假，得兢兢業業地整理過往學習資料、資訊，不得延遲。 畢竟，現在是在耕種未來的福田。 現若偷懶，來日，哪來的收成。 今日塔羅牌是『創造者』。 多好啊。 生活的便利起始於創造。 創造的起因於人性。 怎樣的人性會讓人想創造，點子發想。 有時是為了討好他人。 有時是為了拯救世界。 很多時候是為了賺大錢。 更多時候是因為想偷懶。 不管是為了什麼，總之這些的因素轉化成了動力。 動力放在行動十足的人身上，那根本就是上緊發條，加足馬力的情景。 源源不絕的創造力，讓人羨慕不已。 創造力，加上科技產品的應用，生活便利，哄人開心，製造驚喜，製造更多時間得以享受生活，享受人生。 新創意，可落實，會帶來龐大財富。 想法很多，是好事。 想法太多，無法落實，是恐怖的落差，會讓人焦躁，心煩。 有想法，要整理，要釐清，要評估自身能力，要評估輕重緩急，要計畫，要落實。 思慮太多，腦瓜子受不了，會抗議。 若依然沒調整作法，腦袋小宇宙大爆炸，那就糟糕了。 所以，別貪心，別著急，別心慌。 心急吃不了熱豆腐，急躁無法品味細雕慢啄的精緻。 檢視一下。 有時汰換老舊設備，更新老派思維，調整老式觀點，也許就茅塞頓開，發現有時候，想太多了，不知不覺中思緒早就扭歪了卻不自知。 梳理思緒，有助於將創造力發揮價值，並創造價值。 2024-06-20 Today's Tarot: The Inventor Yesterday, I messed up two things. My mind was hazy due to staying up until 2 AM the night before to prepare for last night's tarot reading. I couldn't fall asleep easily, resulting in a lack of sleep and a state of confusion. The first incident happened in the morning. I usually wake up to the first alarm and prepare breakfast. The process is simple: press the coffee machine button, and then the electric cooker button to steam the eggs and buns. Then, I go back to bed for a while. However, I forgot yesterday morning. When I remembered, I rushed to the kitchen, only to find the buns still partially frozen. Without thinking much, I put the eggs into my lunch bag and left the house. While waiting at a traffic light, feeling hungry, I reached for an egg only to find a warm, liquid substance. Oh no! The eggs weren't cooked and had cracked, with the yolk leaking into the bag and dripping onto the car seat. I had to clean up immediately before attending my class, otherwise, the egg liquid would become unbearable under the sun by the time class ended. Today, my teacher is taking the train back to Taipei. I offered her a ride to the station. At the station, she continued chatting with me in the car. Unbeknownst to me, there were surveillance cameras enforcing parking regulations. By the time I noticed, I didn't know how many photos had been taken or how many fines I would receive. I felt helpless and scared, but it was my own negligence. In the evening, I had an interview exam. With so much material to review, my head hurt and I was starving. The simplest solution was to have the same breakfast again for dinner. I set the electric cooker and took a nap. Twenty minutes later, I woke up feeling better, with food ready and a clearer head for studying. I was hard on myself, but it was necessary. After all, years of accumulated weight can't be shed by a single meal. I finally completed a task that had been delayed for over two years. It was my own lack of diligence that allowed the situation to change, and I must hold myself accountable. The cost of a mistake is not learning from it, which is a waste. To penalize myself, I committed to diligently organizing past study materials and information over the summer, with no delays. After all, the present is the time to cultivate future blessings. Slacking off now means no harvest later. Today's tarot card is 'The Inventor.' How wonderful. The convenience of life begins with creation, which is rooted in human nature. Different motivations drive invention—sometimes to please others, sometimes to save the world, often to make money, and more frequently out of laziness. Whatever the reason, these factors convert into motivation. When such motivation drives a proactive person, it's like winding up a clockwork mechanism and boosting its power. Endless creativity is enviable. Combined with the application of technological products, it brings convenience, joy, surprises, and more time to enjoy life. New ideas, if implemented, can bring great wealth. Having many ideas is a good thing. However, too many unimplemented ideas can lead to anxiety and frustration. It's important to organize, clarify, assess one's abilities, prioritize, plan, and execute ideas. Overthinking can overwhelm the brain, leading to protests. If not adjusted, it might result in a catastrophic mental explosion. Therefore, don't be greedy, anxious, or panic. Haste makes waste, and impatience can't savor the finesse of delicate work. Sometimes, replacing outdated equipment, updating old thoughts, and adjusting old perspectives can provide clarity. Often, overthinking leads to distorted thoughts without us realizing it. Organizing thoughts helps maximize creativity and create value. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Inventor

2024 0527今日塔羅：創造力 Creativity

2024 0527今日塔羅：創造力 Creativity 昨天午後，空氣中還有一絲正午的悶熱氣息尚未散去。 剛採買完一週食物，回到家，有點呃，有點累，有點倦。 又是一陣小忙碌，把東西整理好，坐在客廳沙發裡。 不想勞動了。 不想腦動了。 就先這樣靜靜地，呆呆地，空空地，讓時間溜過去。 睡著了。 醒了，因口渴。 繼續，又睡著了。 醒了，因在沙發上不舒服。 一身汗臭，不想弄髒床，繼續窩在沙發。 又睡著了。 再度醒來，半天時機間已過去，微微橘紅的雲邊在遠方，被灰階的雲朵遮蓋住，連光芒都迷濛。 再度忙碌起來，準備晚餐，準備便當，整理清潔。 這人煙火氣挺扎實的。 坐下來，吃了水果，喝了熱茶。 對我來說，一週的開始在週日夜晚打開塔羅的那一刻。 今日的塔羅牌是『創造力』。 今天的腦袋世界會很精彩。 『19 世紀的美國作家華萊士·D·沃特爾斯 (Wallace D. Wattles) 曾聲稱：「思考是所有勞動中最艱難、最累人的。」有項新研究表明，思考得太用力和時間太長真的會耗盡你的大腦，就像運動會消耗身體一樣。』 因此認為，創造力的發生在擁有充足的休息之後。 經過週末假日調養生息，全身細胞充滿了能量與營養，創造力也就蠢蠢欲動，急著想脫網衝出。 我認為，這是好事。 『法國巴黎 Pitié-Salpêtrière 大學的臨床心理學家 Mathias Pessiglione 解釋說：「在有影響力的理論中表明，疲勞是大腦製造的一種錯覺，讓我們停止正在做的任何事情並轉向更令人滿意的活動。但我們的研究結果表明，認知工作會導致真正的功能改變——有害物質的積累——所以疲勞確實是一個讓我們停止工作的信號，但目的是保持大腦功能的完整性。」』 創造力活絡是件讓我感到興奮的情景。 創造力，產生有趣的點子或巧思，讓愛情、感情加溫。 創造力，在無趣的工作裡創造一些小趣味，讓有趣的事情為平凡生活添加生動氣息。 創造力，是尚未被雕塑的水晶、寶石。 繽紛的色彩吸引人的注目，被期待著經過設計、切雕磨後的模樣。 創造力讓每個人生動活潑起來，眼神晶瑩，剔透，就像是閃閃發亮的希望。 今天，我們暫時拋開理智，拋下規則，試著用心智看世界。 也許我們會有很棒的收穫，關於創造力，關於新構想，關於打破舊習。 2024 0527 Tarot of the Day: Creativity Yesterday afternoon, the lingering heat of noon was still palpable in the air. After shopping for a week's worth of groceries, I came back home feeling a bit, well, tired and weary. After a brief period of busywork putting everything away, I sat down on the living room sofa. I didn’t want to do any more physical work. I didn’t want to think either. So, I just sat there quietly, blankly, letting time pass. I fell asleep. Woke up, thirsty. Continued, fell asleep again. Woke up, uncomfortable on the sofa. Sweaty and smelly, not wanting to dirty my bed, I continued to nestle on the sofa. Fell asleep again. Woke up again, half a day had passed. The edges of the clouds were tinged with orange-red in the distance, shrouded by gray clouds, making even the light look hazy. Got busy again, preparing dinner, preparing lunchboxes, cleaning up. This bustling human atmosphere felt solid. Sat down, ate some fruit, drank hot tea. For me, the week begins the moment I open my Tarot deck on Sunday night. Today's Tarot card is 'Creativity.' Today, my mind will be vibrant and lively. "The American writer Wallace D. Wattles claimed in the 19th century: 'Thinking is the hardest and most exhausting labor of all.' A new study suggests that thinking too hard and for too long can really exhaust your brain, much like physical exercise tires out the body." Therefore, it is believed that creativity occurs after ample rest. After a weekend of rest and recuperation, the cells in the body are brimming with energy and nutrients, making creativity eager to burst forth. I think this is a good thing. "Clinical psychologist Mathias Pessiglione from the Pitié-Salpêtrière University in Paris explains: 'Influential theories suggest that fatigue is a kind of illusion produced by the brain to make us stop whatever we are doing and turn to a more gratifying activity. But our results show that cognitive work leads to true functional alterations—accumulation of noxious substances—so fatigue indeed is a signal that makes us stop working but for the purpose of preserving the integrity of brain functioning.'" The excitement of active creativity is a scenario that excites me. Creativity generates interesting ideas or clever thoughts that can warm up love and emotions. Creativity brings little joys to dull work, adding vibrant touches to mundane life. Creativity is like unsculpted crystals and gems, their vibrant colors attracting attention, anticipated to reveal their designed and polished forms. Creativity makes every life vivid and lively, with sparkling eyes, clear and bright, like shining hope. Today, let's temporarily set aside reason, abandon rules, and try to view the world with our minds. Perhaps we will have wonderful harvests about creativity, new ideas, and breaking old habits. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Creativity

2024 0606 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress

2024 0606 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress 前一天晚上，我與整個世界斷了連結。 看著塔羅牌，腦袋空空的。 翻轉塔羅牌，思緒空空的。 這是長期內耗造成的困境。 這次內耗的形成原因不在他人，在自己。 總是貪心地想要了解更多事情。 總是貪婪地想要知道更多知識。 尤其是身心靈這塊領域。 無論是古老的東方還是遙遠的西方。 無論是過去還是現在。 只要清醒著的時間，聽課、上課，幾乎佔了絕大部分的時間。 能吸收嗎？ 有消化嗎？ 時間不夠吸收，不夠消化。 但學習的機會都是唯一。 也許等有比較多時間可以進行時，課程已不再招開。 我們永遠不會知道未來是什麼情況等著我們。 所以，我珍惜當下的做法就是，若有需要學習的課程，只要時間允許，就排進時間表裡。 原來，我看似無所事事的休息期，被自己的恐慌和貪心給佔據了。 雖然我已跳離職場，卻又忍不住擔憂若不跟進相關議題和資訊，與職場的脫節，是否會造成封閉的自己。 這證明了我是平凡人啊。 自以為能夠淡定，可能是壓抑。 自以為能夠疏離，可能是逃避。 建立自己安全的情感狀態，迫在眉睫，得注意與面對。 想念溫暖的土壤。 想念清新的草地。 想念艷麗的花朵。 想念和煦的微風。 想念涓涓的小溪。 想念無際的天空。 想念我四處逍遙的自然風景。 今日的塔羅是皇后。 皇后，更深層的含意是大地。 大地，更直接的連結是母親。 你心中的母親是什麼模樣？ 我的姪子姪女分別落在兩個世代，一個世代現在剛大學畢業，另一個世代是落在青少年，他們彼此之間剛好相差十歲。 在年長姪子姪女世代，他們認為他們的母親是世上最棒的。 帶著他們一起玩，一起瘋狂。 帶著他們一起打遊戲，探索世界，學習成長。 進得了廚房，上得了廳堂。 進得了遊戲間，上得了學習殿堂。 較年輕世代的姪子姪女，對於媽媽，是溫柔、美麗、優雅的形像。 輕聲細語的溝通、交流與叮嚀。 跟他們一起研讀聖經，一起面對生命中的所有艱難。 他們知道，父母雖然是成人，是所謂的大人，也是會恐懼、害怕，想躲避，不想面對。 對我來說，我母親的形像，是堅忍的屹立不搖，是超猛的行動力，個子雖嬌小卻有著無比強大的力量。 母親的聲音，是爽朗的笑聲，是快速用力的切菜聲，是噗哧噗哧鍋上熱湯滾動的聲音。 皇后 ~ 是滋養與孕育。 是溫暖與安全。 是掌控與占有。 是守護與維繫。 是付出與傳承。 是依附與束縛。 Tarot of the Day for 2024/06/06: The Empress The night before, I disconnected from the entire world. Looking at the Tarot cards, my mind went blank. Flipping the Tarot cards, my thoughts were empty. This is the dilemma caused by prolonged internal exhaustion. The cause of this internal struggle lies not with others but within myself. I always greedily want to understand more things. I always greedily want to know more knowledge. Especially in the realm of body, mind, and spirit. Whether it is the ancient East or the distant West. Whether it is the past or the present. As long as I'm awake, most of my time is spent listening to classes and attending lectures. Can I absorb it? Can I digest it? There isn't enough time to absorb or digest it. But the opportunities to learn are unique. Maybe by the time I have more time to engage, the courses will no longer be available. We never know what the future holds for us. Therefore, my way of cherishing the present is that if there is a course I need to learn, as long as time permits, I schedule it. It turns out that my seemingly idle rest period was occupied by my own panic and greed. Although I have left the workplace, I can't help but worry whether not keeping up with relevant issues and information will lead to a disconnect that will close me off. This proves that I am an ordinary person. Thinking I can remain calm might just be repression. Thinking I can be detached might just be escapism. Establishing a safe emotional state for myself is urgent and must be addressed. I miss the warm soil. I miss the fresh grass. I miss the vibrant flowers. I miss the gentle breeze. I miss the trickling stream. I miss the boundless sky. I miss the natural scenery where I roamed freely. Today's Tarot is the Empress. The deeper meaning of the Empress is the Earth. The more direct connection to the Earth is the Mother. What does the mother in your heart look like? My nieces and nephews are from two generations: one has just graduated from college, and the other is in their teenage years, with a ten-year gap between them. The older generation of nieces and nephews believes their mother is the best in the world. She plays with them and goes crazy with them. She plays games with them, explores the world, and learns and grows together. She can handle the kitchen and manage the living room. She can navigate the game room and the hall of learning. The younger generation of nieces and nephews sees their mother as gentle, beautiful, and elegant. She communicates, interacts, and gently reminds them. She studies the Bible with them and faces all the challenges in life together. They know that although their parents are adults, they also experience fear, want to hide, and sometimes don't want to face things. To me, the image of my mother is one of unwavering resilience, incredible action, and immense strength despite her small stature. Her voice is the sound of hearty laughter, the swift and forceful sound of chopping vegetables, and the bubbling of hot soup on the stove. The Empress ~ Is nourishment and nurturing. Is warmth and safety. Is control and possession. Is protection and maintenance. Is giving and inheritance. Is attachment and restriction. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Empress

Alyson’s 5/20 Tarot：愛 Love (52-57)

Alyson’s 5/20 Tarot：愛 Love (52-57) 問題：我5/19的未來日記主題 抽牌：愛 Love 這週有兩天的塔羅牌是『愛』，感覺真是美好。 宇宙呼應著我發散出的愛。 宇宙回應著我播送出的愛。 宇宙說，我也愛妳，Alyson。 這週其實非常的忙碌，沒有一天可以睡飽，從週一到週日，每天都需要上課。 雖然非常疲憊，非常倦。 阻擋不了興奮與滿足愉悅的心情。 志工培訓課程第二階段昨日開始啟動。 第一堂課的課程內容就非常專業與艱澀。 我和朋友們之間開玩笑說，「第一階段的課程內容和第二階段的課程內容，這”階”一下子，跳好高，好大。看來，這是巨人的階梯呀。」 學習讓我們慢慢地成長，成長為也是巨人的模樣。 然後，我們再牽著別人的手，帶著，陪著成長。 支撐著這麼多的付出與分享，就是因”有愛”。 今天的老師，像是一座礦山，蘊藏豐富，引經據典。 每個人筆記寫滿滿。 之前較少發言的同學，在今天，開始主動，真是讓人覺得很開心的轉變。 老師在課堂上沒有藏私的教導，我們用熱切的眼神，振筆疾書的寫筆記，熱情踴躍的發言與分享。 在這樣的氛圍中，不用擔心被批判，被評價，被教育，被攻擊，被指責。 好好地說話，溫柔地眼神，溫和地語調，溫暖地用字。 即使我們在討論的不是風花雪月，我們在學習的是嚴肅地課程。 可以付出，可以協助他人，可以學習，可以分享，一件事情有這麼多的價值。 我很感謝，感恩。 有這樣的機會參與和學習。 當付出愛的時候，我們自己也是被愛著。 愛，是心中坦然的展現，不管是接收還是付出。 愛，是花朵綻放的美麗，不管是交流還是互動。 愛，是粘著劑，將你的心，我的心，他的心，大家善的心，緊緊黏在一起，化為一股強大的能量，且堅硬不可催。 愛，是你有我，我有你，風吹雨打，時光冉冉，陪伴對方，一起走下去。 Alyson’s 5/20 Tarot: Love (52-57) Question: The theme of my future diary for 5/19 Card drawn: Love This week, two days featured the tarot card ‘Love’, which feels truly wonderful. The universe resonates with the love I emit. The universe responds to the love I broadcast. The universe says, "I love you too, Alyson." This week has been extremely busy, with no chance to get enough sleep from Monday to Sunday, as I have classes every day. Despite being very tired and exhausted, I can't help but feel excited and content. The second phase of volunteer training started yesterday. The first class was already very professional and challenging. My friends and I joked, "The content of the first phase compared to the second phase is like taking a huge leap. This seems like a giant's staircase." Learning helps us grow slowly, becoming like giants ourselves. Then, we can take others by the hand, leading and accompanying them in their growth. What sustains all this effort and sharing is ‘love’. Today's teacher was like a mine rich in resources, quoting extensively from various sources. Everyone took copious notes. Even students who rarely spoke up before started to participate actively today, which was a delightful change. The teacher selflessly shared their knowledge, and we eagerly took notes with fervor, actively participating and sharing. In such an atmosphere, there's no need to worry about criticism, judgment, correction, attack, or blame. We speak kindly, with gentle eyes, a soft tone, and warm words. Even though we are not discussing romantic or poetic subjects, we are learning serious courses. Being able to contribute, to assist others, to learn, and to share brings so much value to a single thing. I am very thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to participate and learn. When we give love, we are also loved. Love is the serene expression in our hearts, whether receiving or giving. Love is the beauty of flowers blooming, whether in exchange or interaction. Love is the adhesive that binds your heart, my heart, his heart, and everyone’s good hearts together into a powerful and unbreakable force. Love is having you and having me, weathering the wind and rain, as time passes, accompanying each other, and walking together. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYurSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Love

BEKAH私心推品｜日常精簡化妝五件套

文／Bekah 為什麼會叫「BEKAH私心推品」呢？當然是Bekah在化妝的道路上，所使用過各家品牌化妝品而總結出來的好物，要來分享給大家！過於官方的介紹想必讀者們都已經看爛了，就讓Bekah秉持著我的蜜糖也maybe是你的蜜糖概念，用自己的「語言」強力推薦日常中，不論是上班、上課還是趕時間出門，一包化妝包絕對裝得下的精簡五件套，一起來看看有沒有能讓你心動的產品吧！ 1. 氣墊粉餅｜TOM FORD奢金柔光粉氣墊 有一年生日我收到了這顆亮晶晶的氣墊，記得當時一打開包裝，眼睛差點被閃到睜不開，同時我的笑容也逐漸猖狂，因為實在是太！美！了。「美」僅僅是這顆氣墊的其中一個優點，上妝效果我給無限個榮譽大拇指，毫不誇張地說，它是我的「夢中情墊」。可能有讀者會覺得Bekah太誇張，但接下來的故事會不小心啪！啪！打臉這樣想的人。那天天氣偏熱，已經跟朋朋們在外一整天的我，已經累到不行，但耐不住友情邀約，我還是跟著前往了台北著名酒吧與其同樂。轉眼間已經1點多了，想說去個化妝室拍個照要準備撤了，當我在邊補口紅邊欣賞自己的臉在黑暗中，微微被燈光照耀著，所透出的光澤感時，她來了！那位漂亮的小姊姊開口問我粉底的牌子，她說她看著我很久了，終於逮到機會問我，女生讀者們能懂嗎？！比起被男生搭訕，小姊姊的「求連結」更令人開心！我對這顆粉底的最終評價就是「它不一定斬男，但一定斬女」。 TOM FORD奢金柔光粉氣墊。（圖／取自Bekah個人IG） 2. 蜜粉｜GIVENCHY 新一代魅力4G幻彩蜜粉 Bekah跟Givency蜜粉的緣分在土耳其機場相遇，從此甜甜蜜蜜、難捨難分。我本身膚色偏白所以買的 01色，其餘色號的話就由讀者們自行去判斷自己適合的顏色了。會這麼愛款蜜粉的原因在於它的四宮格，是一開始吸引我買它的原因，Bekah我是個腦波弱的人類，包裝是吸引我的致命關鍵，不覺得四格顏色放在一起這養看起來很美嗎（大跑題）？！總之後來使用他的時候發現，細膩的粉質，拍在臉上超級！舒服！還能校正肌膚的暗黃。有段時間實在太懶得塗粉底液了，防曬霜＋GIVENCHY蜜粉我的唯一搭配就是它們，膚色不均的問題一拍即散。這邊Bekah也想給個小提醒，如果本身粉底就已經偏白了，01色號的蜜粉要斟酌少量使用才不會有過白的問題，或是可以選擇這款蜜粉的其他色號，平衡掉臉跟脖子大色差的狀況。 GIVENCHY 新一代魅力4G幻彩蜜粉。（圖／翻攝自微風精品線上官網） 3. 睫毛膏｜RMK捲翹分明睫毛膏N #02 深咖啡 想要有迷人電眼缺一不可的就是睫毛膏，睫毛夠翹夠長，可以讓眼睛在視覺上放大很多，精神也會看起來更加明亮。RMK的這款睫毛膏是Bekah用過的睫毛膏裡持久不暈妝的，而且刷過的睫毛一整天都不會垂下來。強烈推薦一定要買深咖啡色，不同於黑色睫毛膏給人過於強烈的感覺，深棕色稍微柔和之外也給人一種楚楚可憐的效果。讓Bekah覺得更厲害的是，通常睫毛長短不一，所以很多時候短的睫毛會刷不到就被冷落在旁，但這支睫毛膏神奇的可以抓住黏在眼瞼的每一根睫毛，真的像櫃姐所說的「根根分明」。 RMK捲翹分明睫毛膏N #02 深咖啡。（圖／翻攝自RMK官網） 4. 腮紅｜MAC柔礦迷光腮紅＃Warm Soul Warm Soul 腮紅如其名，上臉效果絕絕子，Bekah推爆這色號，不管淡妝還是濃妝，必選色號就是它。如果說要幫它拍個情景照，Bekah腦中的畫面感會是，模特站在海灘上，微風徐徐，夕陽在背後照耀著，在鏡頭前展露燦爛笑容，淡淡的蜜桃土橘色將落日氛圍感拉滿。腮紅還不只是腮紅，有時候難免咬著急找不到適合搭配腮紅顏色的眼影，這時候直接大膽的把這款腮紅往眼睛上給薄刷上去，顴骨上的色彩則可以稍微加重，匹配的顏色會讓整體色彩更加協調，透著微微的珍珠光感，氛圍感美女從一顆MAC腮紅開始。 MAC柔礦迷光腮紅＃Warm Soul。（圖／翻攝自Selfridge官網） 5. 口紅｜Gucci 唇膏 #214 Call It A Day 什麼顏色的口紅都可以沒有，但絕對不能沒有一款自然裸色唇膏！這支唇膏會被稱作「完美的一天」不是沒有原因的，蜜桃熟成時的顏色，加上Glow & Care系列的深層滋潤感，直接將純欲感拿捏穩穩的。Bekah會大推這個色號的原因是，本身嘴唇是屬於毫無血色的蒼白感，素顏塗時能增加氣色，所以只要懶惰上妝，都會直接塗它。但神奇的是化妝後，塗上它也別有一番風味，整個妝看起來軟軟糯糯的，溫柔感十足。 Gucci 唇膏 #214 Call It A Day。（圖／翻攝自Gucci Beauty官網）

2024 0408 今日塔羅：反映 Reflection 假期結束。 今日又要開始工作了。 已做好各項準備工作來迎接上班日。 濃郁熱咖啡來一杯。 點心零食也來一些。 可有些就是怎麼也都準備不好。 比如熱切想上班的心情，還有不賴床的好精神。 宇宙貼心的提醒大家 ~ 今日，務必要冷靜。 今日，務必別衝動。 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145841674 今天，就當作是要開始面對一大堆的工作的熱身日吧。 休息這麼多天，已不是靈魂有沒有跟上我們的身體這個問題。 而是，心智、意識和靈魂，早已因休假多日而鬆渙。 要將它們喚醒，需要時間。 心智、意識及靈魂要有多些時間甦醒。 在腦子不是理智的時候，千萬別做任何重大決定。 所謂的重大決定是什麼呢？ 對以前曾經是上班族的我，中餐吃什麼，可就列在我的重大事件表內，且重要程度還是擺放在前三名以內的。 我判斷和考量的要素有幾樣， 第一，是否會影響心情？ 第二，是否會嚴重影響心情？ 第三，是否會嚴重影響當天心情？ 這是真實的。 就像每天早上出門前，我的頭髮一定要柔順，不能太過膨鬆和凌亂，不然一整天我都像是有蟲在咬我般的心寧不定，條理不清。 越是忙碌的日子，越是要讓自己保持理智與清晰。 尤其是剛辦完活動的隔一個工作日，或者是剛休完假期的上班第一天。 心情不是還處於興奮，就是尚在發懶，發條還未扭緊。 讓今天的情況簡單一些。 需要鑽研非常努力的事情，先緩緩。 今天，不宜過度激動，過於追逐的情緒和思緒。 Tarot Reading for April 8th, 2024: Reflection The holidays are over. Today marks the return to work once again. Preparations have been made to embrace the workday ahead. A rich, hot cup of coffee is in hand. Some snacks to nibble on are also prepared. Yet, there are some things that just can't be prepared for. Like the eager anticipation for work and the determination not to linger in bed. A gentle reminder from the universe~ Today, it is crucial to stay calm. Today, it is imperative not to act impulsively. Consider today as a warm-up day to face a pile of work. After so many days of rest, it's not about whether our souls have caught up with our bodies. It's more about how our minds, consciousness, and souls have loosened up due to the extended vacation. Waking them up will take time. Give the mind, consciousness, and soul some extra time to awaken. When the mind is not rational, refrain from making any significant decisions. What constitutes a significant decision? For someone like me, who used to be part of the workforce, deciding what to have for lunch could be classified as a significant event, ranking within the top three in terms of importance. My criteria and considerations include: Firstly, will it affect my mood? Secondly, will it significantly impact my mood? Thirdly, will it seriously affect my mood for the rest of the day? This is real. Just like every morning before leaving the house, my hair must be smooth; it can't be too fluffy or messy, or else I'll feel like bugs are crawling on me all day, feeling restless and disorganized. The busier the days, the more crucial it is to keep oneself rational and clear-headed. Especially on the first workday after completing an event or returning from a vacation. Feelings are either still excited or still lazy, like a spring not yet tightly wound. Keep today's situation simple. Save the hard-to-crack problems for later. Today, it's best not to get overly excited or chase after emotions and thoughts excessively. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Reflection

2024 0422 今日塔羅：愛 Love

2024 0422 今日塔羅：愛 Love 今天是週一，這週工作日的第一天，大家心情好嗎？ 從前兩週開始學習後，過去那種面對週一的壓力心情，又開始冒出。 有些心情，不是已淡忘，不是已消散。 若人生中又有過去類似的情景出現，那些不舒服的心情都在伺機而動，等著脆弱的時機，全軍出巢行動。 今天的塔羅牌到了『愛』。 什麼是愛？ 這是個簡單的問題嗎？ 大家都如何傳達”愛”？如何表達”愛”？ “愛”對我來說，很難捉模，既是名詞，也是動詞。 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/147445945 在”愛”的這個字，不管是哪種型態，我都跌過大坑，摔過大跤，疼過，痛過，傷過，討厭過，也恨過。 以前，我用行動表示愛，傳達愛，以為時間久了，大家能懂得。 多麼傻氣又天真。 後來，我用行動說出愛，傳出愛，從一開始的彆扭，多次後，自己感到熟練，接收者也就不覺怪異。 多麼直率又直白。 宇宙想告訴我們，今日 ~ 讓我們在愛中享受春風得意的舒爽。 繽紛的花朵從瓶中流瀉而出，讓春意流淌，讓愛流動。 在接受接收的同時，請記得，也要付出，也要主動。 愛，是雙向的流動。 若是單向的，很快地，愛就倒完，不再存在的。 愛，是單純，不能量數，不能計較的。 很多事情都可以有個單位計算，唯有愛，不可數，不可衡量，不可論價值。 在死亡的面前，再大的權勢，再高的地位，再多的爭執與恨，都不成為”事”。 在愛的面前，金銀財寶，珠寶鑽石，再多的財富，都無法為”愛”估價。 今天適合踏出我們平時框起來的小世界，走向他人，走進群體。 愛的關懷，在於一句好話，一段美麗的文字。 愛的行動，在於一下拍肩，一個溫暖的擁抱。 愛的表示，在於一次眼神，一種鼓勵的示意。 在付出愛的同時，不要忘記愛自己。 接納自己的不足。 接受自己的欠缺。 接收他人的關愛。 接下宇宙的訊息。 每個人都是富有且貧瘠的狀態。 愛，能填補胸口落空的那塊，不感到缺失。 前提是，也要付出愛，才有”愛”的收穫。 Today's Tarot: Love Happy Monday, everyone! How are you feeling on this first workday of the week? Since starting our learning journey two weeks ago, the pressure and stress of facing Mondays seem to be creeping back in. Some emotions, they haven't faded away, they haven't dissipated. If similar situations from the past reappear in our lives, those uncomfortable feelings lie in wait, ready to strike at vulnerable moments, waiting to swarm out en masse. Today's Tarot card is "Love." What is love? Is it a simple question? How do we convey "love"? How do we express "love"? "Love" for me, it's elusive, both a noun and a verb. In the word "love," in whatever form, I've fallen into deep pits, tripped over obstacles, felt pain, hurt, been wounded, loathed, and even hated. In the past, I expressed love through actions, communicated love, thinking that over time, everyone would understand. How naive and innocent. Later, I spoke love through actions, conveyed love, starting from awkwardness, but after many times, I felt proficient, and the recipients no longer found it strange. How straightforward and blunt. The universe wants to tell us today ~ Let's enjoy the refreshing breeze of spring in love. Colorful flowers pour out of the vase, letting the spring flow, letting love flow. While receiving, please remember to give back, to take initiative. Love is a two-way flow. If it's one-sided, love will quickly run dry, cease to exist. Love is pure, immeasurable, incalculable. Many things can be measured in units, but love cannot be counted, measured, or valued. In the face of death, no matter how great the power, how high the status, how much dispute and hatred, they all become nothing. In the face of love, gold and silver, jewels and diamonds, no matter how much wealth, cannot evaluate "love." Today is a good day to step out of our usual boxed-in worlds and reach out to others, join the community. Caring in love can be a kind word, a beautiful message. Actions of love can be a pat on the back, a warm hug. Expressions of love can be a glance, an encouraging gesture. While giving love, don't forget to love yourself. Accept your shortcomings. Embrace your imperfections. Receive love from others. E mbrace the messages from the universe. Everyone is both rich and impoverished. Love can fill the emptiness in the chest without feeling lacking. The condition is, you must also give love to reap the rewards of "love." #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Love

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress 讓我熱淚盈眶，讓我溫暖力量滿胸膛 讓我謙卑跪下，讓我平靜祥和又安康 焚香，仰頭，靜心，凝視 向您呼喚，不敢高喊 您沉默，您不理 您低眉看似俯瞰紅塵，也許看人們的前世今生 只要您在哪，那兒就是我的家，我歸屬的地方 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145031173 生日快樂！觀世音菩薩 觀世音菩薩的聖誕日，我前往林口竹林山觀音寺幫觀音菩薩慶生，祝賀她的生日。 乾媽 ~ 我是神明的孩子 小時候非常羨慕哥哥和弟弟都有乾媽，我卻沒有。 曾問過媽媽，為何我沒有。 爸媽說，因為我小時候非常愛哭，又愛跟弟弟吵架，沒有大人喜歡我，沒有人想當我的乾爸或乾媽。 我在夜裡哭泣。 我覺得我很棒的呀！ 我太小了，不管是哭泣，或是因太愛哭被媽媽抱在懷裡睡覺的記憶。 羨慕現在的孩子，父母將他們成長，紀錄在相機裡，電腦裡，還有影片裡。 最後，觀世音菩薩成為了我的乾媽。 在我們的文化裡，許多與神明有緣分的孩子，會認神明做乾爸或乾媽。 我們是神明的孩子。 慶生 那天，我比原先預期的晚半個小時起床。 以前長輩和朋友們的睡眠是隨著年齡增長而遞減，我連這點都與眾不同，現在年紀多了，睡眠時間更長了。 沒有睡飽，無法清醒，頭會痛。 所以即使神識有點舒醒，但眼睛張不開，腦子無法運轉時，我就會繼續貪睡一下。 準備了水果，擺放在好看的竹籃裡，到時候就提著進廟裡，直接放在供桌就可以。 記得家裡在這樣的日子，媽媽會事先去買紅龜粿或壽桃這類中式糕點給神明慶生。 我想著自己愛吃的是蛋糕，於是就準備蛋糕。 直覺力 晚起，當天所有的時間都需往後延。 賴床時，腦海中曾閃過一個思緒，非常短暫，快得沒能抓住那訊息。 直到進入蛋糕店，聽著店家跟排在我前面的那位客人說，小型蛋糕已售完的話語，這時，早上沒能抓到的訊息，馬上連結到腦海，並清晰有了畫面與現在眼前發生的場景一樣。 我的直覺力慢慢得回來了，經過我散漫了六、七百天後，感動。 是觀世音菩薩和眾神明的庇佑。 祈禱與祝賀 取了六根香，在廟的右邊側門裡面有點香檯。 高舉點燃的香，然後從右邊側門走出。 走至天空爐前，頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將三根香插入廟大門正前方的香爐裡。 後退，頂禮，三拜。 從廟的左邊側門進入廟宇裡。 站在中心排，面向前方的神明佛像。 頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將手上還有的三根香插入前方香爐裡。 後退，雙掌合起，三拜。 從十幾年前，我前來廟宇，除了特別的三次以外，皆無任何的祈求。 第一次是請求指引工作選擇。 第二次是爸爸住院病危通知。 第三次是拜託照護奶奶爸媽。 今日目的是慶生，當然就是祝福生日快樂，然後國家安康。 小幸運，也是小福報 停車位 當我車子快接近廟宇附近的停車場時，前方塞車了。 將車子右轉，打算繞一圈，到後面馬路的停車格。 轉了一圈後，注意到原塞車的路口已無車，那就試試看，也許有比較近的停車位。 過了紅綠燈，馬上，右前方就有個停車格，還是最後一個。 就這樣輕易且順利將車停好。 供品位 進入廟宇，非常多人，供桌上滿滿的供品。 尋思要找空位擺放水果和蛋糕，走到白虎邊的第二排桌子，剛好看到有香客在收他們的供品。 超級幸運的呀！ 請他們慢慢來，我可以等一下時間的，沒關係的。 在這樣神聖的日子，許多人都面帶微笑與欣喜心前來。 我的竹籃和蛋糕盒，都是方型且盒子狀，可以疊起來擺放。 在這樣隆重日子，神明不會跟信徒、香客計較東西擺放是否有端正。 結緣品 第一次注意廟裡的活動情況，以前總是只有拜拜，沒有留意其他。 廟宇中間，出家師父們帶領信眾唱誦佛經。 正想往那裏靠近，突然聽到物品撒落的聲音，我趕緊前往協助撿拾。 以為是某信眾的供品，撿起來後才知道是中間師父們丟出來要送給有緣粉的信眾們的糖果。 我很幸運，撿到了兩顆。 在我不懂的情況下，不同的糖果繼續發送。 站在第一線的一位姐姐，突然轉身，將她手指攤開說，歡迎結緣，分享她掌中的糖果。 我拿了她的糖果，並用我撿到的另一種，送給這位姐姐，祝福她。 糖果繼續分送著。 我覺我有拿到兩種，已是非常幸運的事情，不須每一種都要拿到，更不須要拿到很多。 有好多人受到觀世音菩薩的協助，發送著還願品，跟大眾結善緣。 還有大悲咒水，經過觀世音菩薩的加持，回家加入飲用水，從身體內部，每一細胞都有著佛經的保護。 祈禱位 觀音菩薩聖誕日，廟宇的委員會請了師父前來唱誦佛經。 關於佛經，對我們來說很有距離，裡頭全是看不懂的梵文意思。 就如同基督教有讀聖經班，佛經也有讀經班，讓想要了解的人有機會可以研讀。 外圍發放著糖果餅乾，中間的唱誦佛經持續著，我站在一旁跟著頂禮，膜拜。 隨著師父唱誦的聲調，我的身體很輕鬆得輕微舞動。 那是讓我很沉浸的音律。 看到一位長輩也想頂禮膜拜，我側了身，讓她可以更為靠近一些。 我想，這也是一種志同道合吧。 在這樣近的距離，我與觀世音菩薩金身在同一個小空間裡，隨著唱誦聲音的流淌，我的心思只有佛經，只有當下。我的心中，溫柔燦燦。 回家 ~ 溫暖的溫柔 儀式告一段落。 觀世音菩薩的金身需要回到大殿之中。 這是第一次看到竹林山觀音寺觀世音菩薩的金身。 小小的，黑黑的，應是被長年鼎盛香火燻的。 原本想拿起手機拍攝或錄影。 在發現菩薩金身應該會經過身邊時，我一心只想好好看看菩薩，只想感受當下。 菩薩金身被人抱著朝我邊前進，我用右手跟觀音菩薩金身打招呼，輕聲對她說，『觀音菩薩，生日快樂。』 在菩薩金身從我眼前經過時，我瞬間熱淚盈眶，站在原地久久無法移身。 像是被光溫暖包裹著，擁抱著。 我像是被乾媽抱在懷中，她溫柔的撫慰我。 我在心中對觀世音菩薩說，我回來了。乾媽。 咖啡味 竹林寺大門旁的停車場邊邊開了一家小小咖啡廳。 一位年輕男孩的創業，裡面位置不多，也沒有洗手間。 我喜歡這地方的可愛，和老闆的親切。 詢問了併桌，獲得對方親和的回應。 老闆還記得我，我們聊了農曆春節他與廟宇如此近的距離，他的所見，所聞，所感，所想。 有時我們都需要像是朋友，可互相聊聊的人。 不熟悉但認識，這樣的淡淡，很好。 後記 離開了廟宇，將蛋糕分享給哥哥嫂嫂，分享給社區守衛和打掃大姊。 吃觀世音菩薩加持過的蛋糕，大家都平安，都沾染到溫暖的光。 回到自己的家中，想將慶生寫下紀錄，也想知道當觀世音菩薩經過我身旁時，她跟我說了什麼，讓我的高靈感動到情緒無法控制，即使過了一些時間，跟哥哥分享時，依然是想流淚，依然馬上紅眼眶。 塔羅抽到了『皇后Empress』。 我又哭了。 是媽媽。 張開雙手，等著我撲上前，抱著我。 是媽媽。 滋養孕育，等著我撲上前，餵飽我。 是媽媽。 溫暖守候，等著我撲上前，撫慰我。 是媽媽。 安慰支持，等著我撲上前，誇獎我。 是媽媽。 林口竹林山觀音寺： https://www.zlskyt.com.tw/ 紅龜粿： https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E7%B4%85%E9%BE%9C%E7%B2%BF 壽桃： https://www.klintainan.com/Goods/92 Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot: Empress Let my eyes brim with tears, let warm strength fill my chest, Let me kneel in humility, let me be serene, peaceful, and healthy, Burning incense, looking up, quieting my mind, gazing, Calling out to you, not daring to shout, You remain silent, you don't respond, With lowered brows, seemingly overlooking the mortal world, perhaps seeing people's past lives and present, As long as you are there, that's my home, the place I belong. Happy Birthday! Guanyin Bodhisattva On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I went to the Guanyin Temple in Linkou Zhulin Mountain to celebrate her birthday and offer my congratulations. Godmother ~ I Am a Child of the Deities When I was young, I envied my brothers for having godmothers while I didn't. I once asked my mother why. My parents said it was because I used to cry a lot and argue with my younger brother, and no adults liked me or wanted to be my godparents. I cried myself to sleep at night. I thought I was great! I was too young to remember whether it was crying or being cuddled to sleep by my mother because I cried too much. I envied today's children, whose parents record their growth in cameras, computers, and videos. Finally, Guanyin Bodhisattva became my godmother. In our culture, many children who are destined to have connections with deities recognize them as godparents. We are children of the deities. Celebration That day, I woke up half an hour later than I originally planned. In the past, the sleep of elders and friends decreased with age, but I was different. As I grew older, I slept longer. Without enough sleep, I couldn't stay awake, and my head would ache. So even if my consciousness was somewhat awake, if I couldn't open my eyes or my brain couldn't function, I would continue to indulge in sleep. I prepared fruits and arranged them in a beautiful bamboo basket to take them into the temple and place them directly on the altar when the time came. I remember that on such days, my mother would buy traditional Chinese pastries like red turtle cakes or longevity peaches to celebrate the deities' birthdays. Since I loved cakes, I decided to prepare a cake. Intuition Waking up late meant that everything for the day would be delayed. While lying in bed, a fleeting thought crossed my mind, so brief that I couldn't grasp the message. It wasn't until I entered the cake shop and heard the shopkeeper telling the customer in front of me that the small cakes were sold out that the morning's missed message instantly connected in my mind, vividly matching the scene happening before me. My intuition was slowly returning, which moved me after my absent-mindedness for six or seven hundred days. It was the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other deities. Prayer and Blessing I took six incense sticks. Inside the temple's right side door was an incense table. I raised the lit incense and walked out from the right side door. I walked to the sky furnace, paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner directly in front of the temple door. I stepped back, paid respects, and bowed three times. I entered the temple from the left side door. Standing in the center row facing the deity's statue in front, I paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted the remaining three incense sticks into the incense burner in front. I stepped back, clasped my hands together, and bowed three times. Since ten years ago, when I came to the temple, except for three special occasions, I had no requests during my visits. The first time was to seek guidance on job choices. The second time was when my father was hospitalized and critically ill. The third time was to ask for care for my grandparents. Today's purpose was to celebrate, of course, to wish for a happy birthday and the well-being of the country. Small Fortunes, Small Blessings Parking Space As my car approached the temple's parking lot, there was traffic ahead. I turned right, planning to go around and park in the parking spaces on the street behind. After making a circle, I noticed that the intersection where there was traffic before was now clear. So, I decided to try my luck and see if there was a closer parking space. After passing the traffic light, there was immediately a parking space on the right side, and it was the last one. So, I easily and smoothly parked my car. Offerings Entering the temple, there were many people, and the offering tables were full. I wondered where to find space to place the fruits and cake. I walked to the second row of tables on the side of the White Tiger and happened to see worshippers collecting their offerings. Super lucky! I asked them to take their time as I could wait. On such a sacred day, many people came with smiles and joy. My bamboo basket and cake box were both square and box-shaped, so they could be stacked and placed. On such an important day, the deities wouldn't mind how neatly offerings were placed by the worshippers and visitors. Bonds It was the first time I paid attention to the activities in the temple. Before, I only prayed without paying attention to anything else. In the middle of the temple, the ordained masters led the worshippers in chanting sutras. Just as I was about to approach them, I suddenly heard the sound of items being scattered. I hurried over to help pick them up, thinking they were offerings from worshippers. Only after picking them up did I realize they were candies thrown by the masters in the middle to be given to worshippers who were destined to receive them. I was very lucky to pick up two. Without understanding why, different candies continued to be distributed. A sister standing in the front suddenly turned around, opened her hand, and welcomed me to share the candies in her palm. I took her candy and gave her the other one I picked up, wishing her well. The candies continued to be distributed. I felt lucky to have picked up two kinds, which was already a very fortunate thing. There was no need to have every kind or to have many. Many people received help from Guanyin Bodhisattva, offering their gratitude and forming good karma with others. There was also the water blessed with the Great Compassion Mantra, which, when consumed at home, protected every cell of the body with the sutras. Prayer Space On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the temple committee invited masters to chant sutras. The sutras were distant to us, filled with Sanskrit meanings we couldn't understand. Just as Christianity has Bible study classes, there are also sutra study classes for those who wish to understand. Candies and cookies were distributed on the periphery, while the chanting of sutras continued in the middle. I stood aside, paying respects and worshiping along. With the tones of the master's chanting, my body relaxed slightly, swaying gently. It was a melody that immersed me deeply. Seeing an elder wanting to pay respects, I stepped aside to let her get closer. I thought, this is also a kind of mutual understanding. At such a close distance, I and the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva were in the same small space. Flowing with the chanting, my mind was filled only with the sutras, only with the present moment. My heart was warm and radiant. Going Home ~ Warm Gentleness The ceremony came to a close. The golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva needed to return to the main hall. It was the first time I had seen the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva at the Zhulin Mountain Guanyin Temple. It was small and dark, likely imbued with the incense smoke of many years. I had initially thought of taking out my phone to capture or record it. However, when I realized that the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva would pass by me, I focused solely on observing her, just wanting to feel the present moment. As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was carried towards me, I greeted her with my right hand and softly said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, happy birthday." As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by me, tears welled up in my eyes instantly, and I stood there unable to move for a long time. It felt like being enveloped in warm light, embraced. It was as if I were being hugged by my godmother, her gentle comfort soothing me. In my heart, I said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "I'm back, godmother." Coffee Flavor Next to the parking lot by the gate of the Zhulin Temple, there was a small coffee shop. It was started by a young man, with limited seating and no restroom. I liked the quaintness of this place and the friendliness of the owner. I asked to share a table and received a friendly response. The owner remembered me, and we talked about the proximity of the Lunar New Year to the temple, sharing perspectives and experiences. Sometimes, we all need someone to chat with, even if we're not familiar but acquainted. Such light connections are nice. Afterthought Leaving the temple, I shared the cake with my brother, sister-in-law, community guards, and the cleaning lady. Eating the cake blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, everyone was safe and bathed in warm light. Back at home, I wanted to write down the celebration and also find out what Guanyin Bodhisattva said to me as she passed by, which moved me to uncontrollable emotions. Even after some time had passed, I still felt like crying when I shared it with my brother, with tears in my eyes. I drew the Tarot card "Empress" again. And I cried. It was my mother. With open arms, waiting for me to rush into them, embracing me. It was my mother. Nurturing and feeding me, waiting for me to come to her. It was my mother. Warmly waiting, ready to comfort me when I rush to her. It was my mother. Offering solace and support, waiting for me to approach, ready to praise me. It was my mother.
