Events have been transpiring in this Snowdrop's life!
It appears that I may have found a way to earn a little bit of my living, although I am not yet certain that I want to take it, and I'm currently doing a lot of "due diligence" to make sure everything is above board with the company and such. It would be working on the basis of a "contract for services", so I would not be an employee as such of the company but officially "self-employed".
The job:
Premium-rate telephone tarot reader.
If I do it, then I am going to approach this as being very much me providing a counselling service, and not a fortune-telling service; the former means that I am taking their money to provide help and assistance. The latter would be to take advantage of other people's credulity.
As I've mentioned before, I take the Tarot seriously, because as far as I can tell, it does actually work. I just refuse to make any claims as to how it works. So for me, to take people's money because they expect me to see the future or communicate with spirits or whatever, is dishonest and wrong. However, if I can offer practical help and support by using the medium of Tarot as a counselling technique (even if they believe something more about what is going on) then I feel that I have done right by them and used the talents I have to the greater good.
So that may or may not be what I am doing by this time next week.

In other news, I have had a regular check-up with my GP over my depression and he has decided that it looks like it's time that I can start to phase out the citalopram! This feels like a real lift for me, because it's been just over 18 months since I started on the drug and, while it has definitely helped, and while you are always grateful for your crutch while you're in need of it, it also feels a lot better to be able to walk on your own two feet again, too. Things have seemed a lot more positive the last couple of months, and one way or another, it looks like the worst of the depression is passing for the time being.

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
