Prompt Create a spread that explores how gentle you are with yourself. If you find gentleness difficult, explore why that might be. Try and use gentle techniques – soft touches, soft colours.Oracle: Where is gentleness required in your life? Who requires it of you? How can you treat yourself more gently?

I went with the idea of "gentle as a lamb" and an Easter card card that I had in my stash....

Oracle: What do you need to attain balance? Where are you off balance? What is needing to be more balanced?

For this one...I remembered some balancing Hippo stickers and as they were in a drawer in the bureau Bill's grandfather made that was on its way outside to the garage I grabbed them quick!

Colour me positive: quote....all the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today
