What This Card Means to Me
This card is the reason why it is so important we need to be true to our Authentic Self and hold healthy boundaries. We can turn a blind eye from the truth, but we can’t run from who we are. In the end running from this truth will trap us and rob us of hope. Money can’t buy the dignity, respect, and compassion that we need to be giving ourselves and others. Only defining solid, healthy boundaries accomplishes that.

Now as a writer with everything we’ve gone over with this card what comes to mind? Start writing! Doesn’t matter what it is. Stretch your mind and let The Devil (the card) speak to you.

Happy writing!
