tasseography with coffee

when i was little, mommy always used to say, "it will always work it self out in the wash" and "que cera cera." mandi always had a hard time accepting this. so then, to prove it, mommy turned to tasseography with our daily tea at lunch. most of the time the answers would come up in her tea leaves, probably because she didn't strain her tea from the pot. these days amongst my scrying, i have turned to tasseography with coffee grinds. tasseography is much harder for me than tarot cards and runes and scrying with a crystal. this is probably because for the most part, tasseography is yes or no answers, traditionally. A habit i have picked up from mommy in my tasseography is to read it more like a one draw tarot card. it tells you more about how to read the present than to read the future. and of course, i was never looking to read the future, even at 4. i was looking to read the hear and now for the "it's going to be ok for now" beyond just a blanket statement to a four year old of "que cera cera." so what did i read in my coffee grinds this morning? continue to ration coffee by running grounds through the pot more than once, like they did in WWII. Money will come when it comes when it is supposed to come, be thankful that it is coming at all. Sell the duplicate stamps if need be, but do your research and get yourself a scotts guide and a proper place to put them. stop using tape as it is not even accepted for "defunct" stamps. remember that you have to spend money to make money, so even if you have to buy those glassy things to submit them in, even if you have to buy a scotts guide, it will payoff in the end even though the minimum amount you can sell to certain buyers is $100, and even though you're not in the mood to get rid of that much in multiple stamps, do the smart thing and find the duplicate that's worth the most and sell those. find a way to live off of 184 dollars in food stamps. try to pay bills with 194 and still get yourself something you'd like. life can't be all bills and no presents or you will be miserable. sounds like mommy? well maybe a little mommy rubbed off on manda with the learning of the not so authentic tasseography of coffee grinds. just maybe. lets hope so. and try not to dream that mama and grandmama are mad at you. that's not realistic.
