This is something I do on my website and at another group I own. I draw a Fairy card and post it's meaning, and turn it into an "assignment" which others can choose to follow to help them improve their lives - the Faerie Way!
* Artwork by Jeffrey Bedrick *
The faeries know and understand the importance of having dreams, aspirations, and high hopes, and they encourage us to allow ourselves to fantasize about the future and let our hopes soar to new levels. Often we squash our own dreams by telling ourselves that these dreams are silly, or that they will "never come true". Many times our Ego gets in the way and tells us that our we are not worthy of our dreams! The faeries guide us to ignore these doubts and allow ourselves to dream big and beautiful dreams for our future and begin creating and manifesting what we truly want in our life!
Your Faerie Guidance; "Follow Your Dreams!"
Card Meaning (from the guidebook by Doreen Virtue)
"Meditate on your heart's desire. Rearrange your schedule so that you're spending time in ways that are truly meaningful to you.
"Sometimes it's difficult to know what you truly desire. You have so many outside influences, as well as personal fears, tugging at you, demanding, "Pay Attention to Me!" You wait for a free moment that you could devote to your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Yet that moment never seems to arrive.
"The fairies ask you to take charge of your schedule. First, they ask you to meditate on your heart's desire. Make a list of five priorities in your life. Then - write down a schedule - in ink - so that you'll spend the necessary time engaged in these activities. It is not important what you specifically do during these times; what's important is that you invest time and energy in that which makes you happy and fullfilled!"
Affirmation: "I deserve the best. I take charge of my schedule and my life!"
ASSIGNMENT;
Write down the above affirmation in a place where you will see it daily and say it to yourself often!
Make a list of 5 priorities in your life - things that make you happy or will help you achieve your goals and dreams (post here)
Schedule some time, (once a day, once a week, or otherwise) to spend devoted to one or more of the things on your list.

This is awesome!! I have a set a Fairy Cards by Brian Froud that I haven't made time for in about a year. :( I don't even have time to actually "do" this assignment. But I intend to come back! I have important doctor appointments in a little bit. I was meant to see this. If I forget about it on accident, if you have the time, will you please hold me accountable? If you don't have the time, that's totally cool, I completely understand. It is my responsibility. I miss my fairies..... They keep me grounded and connected with MYSELF. Thanks for this post!! It's amazing to me! We are all connected. Namaste!

Making a Promise to myself;
I will start applying this schedule to my life starting this coming week, Sunday, Feb. 15th. I ask for the Fairies' help and guidance in achieving my goals by taking time to spend working on my dreams and doing things that fulfill me and make me happy! I deserve the best and I take charge of my schedule and my life!
I did a tarot reading for myself to get some further advice on how to achieve my goals....
Card 1; Obstacles to overcome - The Knight of Pentacles. This card is asking what blocks I have from my past that may be hindering me from attaining my goal. In this deck the Knight of Pentacles represents loyalty, service, and responsibility. I have been feeling conflicted about where my loyalties should lie - where I should direct my time and energy, and how to balance between serving others and serving myself. I think this card is telling me that once I overcome this inner conflict and find peace with where I should direct my service, I will become settled on my path. The book says; " This Fey is linked to the earth and his personal belongings, but his service toward others have led him far from them. This upsets him, but the distance helps him understand the real importance of the things he loves." I definatley can relate. The more I follow my dream, it seems like the less time I have for myself. But I am also finding that in serving and helping others, I am fulfilled in ways that I couldn't be if I was just doing things for myself. Furthermore from the book; " Loyalty is not aimed at only one person or at a duty in a strict sense, to words said, or to promises. Loyalty is a sentiment that is linked to coherence in things we belong to and love (this group, my website, my family & friends). Through loyalty, with regards to our values or our origins, it is possible to discover a part of our actual identity."

Card 2; Present Advice - 6 of Pentacles. What shall I do to understand the message of following my dreams? (from the oracle reading) This card represents the spirit of giving, charity, generosity. I need to remember that happiness comes to those who give freely. This really seems to tie in with the previous card; my service towards others will fulfill me and lead me towards satisfying my own dreams. I think if I have an attitude of joyful giving - in ALL areas of my life - I will reap the benefits of abundance within my own life. from the book; " To give, to share, to resolve the needs of others. Charity and goodwill are integral parts of sensible wealth. A secondary signifigance comes from not differentiating between who will become the beneficiary. Generosity is without judgement and needs no glory." Once I truly learn to give without expecting anything in return, to give of myself freely and totally towards the people and purposes that make me happy, I will be able to move forward and free myself of any issues that hold me back.

Card 3: Outcome / Final Goal - Temperance. I can achieve balance! It is within my grasp! I have been so overwhelmed with te many tasks of mom, wife, teacher, tarot reader, friend, etc... I thought I could never acheive balance. But this card is showing me that I can achieve this balance, I can attain the life I desire, with time for myself and quiet solitude as a part of the whole rewarding package! If I just learn to let go of my feelings of bondage, embrace the spirit of giving, I can find this inner peace and balance that I so desperatley seek! From the book; "Water, air, earth and fire sparkle together. Not distinct and seperate, but together. Not united and alone, but singing with different voices. The Fey who cures, who heals, who mitigates and dilutes, appears after the night. She is the dawn Fey. Hers is the soul that soothes wounds and torments. Memories fade and lights are relit." This is how I can feel, who I can become, when I surrender myself to my calling and my talents, I know it, I feel it deep within me. "Soften one's approach towards others, care, rest refresh, recuperate energy (one of my goals is to make time to meditate and refresh my spirit.) silence, sweetness, softness, lose oneself in passion, patience, receptiveness, attention."
