You have to be careful what you think....

So the other day I was perusing possible job opportunities in other parts of the country, and I noticed some potential 'upgrades' that would involve carrying a firearm. Not my favorite thing, but I'm open to new things, so I allowed myself to feel what that would be like, carrying a firearm in the course of the workday. I thought some firearm training may be in order so I began looking around locally for a place that teaches on these things. I could not find anything in my area that felt right.

Then I get this call, out of the blue, a message left on my cellphone but clearly intended for someone else. It was a the gun club, from the area of the country where I was looking for employment, saying that they had a good gun for me, one they thought I (whomever they were leaving a message for) would like, a .22 revolver. The gentleman on the phone continued to talk about the gun, describing it and it's history in detail. I laughed hysterically when I heard the mis-placed message on my voicemail! Is that what they call a sign?

Later in the week, I was preparing for my exercise class, getting some lotion from the bathroom counter. I had the random thought, "I wonder what would happen if something really important fell into the toilet?" Don't know where that came from, but suddenly....the lotion slipped from my hands, hopped up and jumped up and hit the side of the cabinet, ricocheting off the bathtub and landing in the toilet! The whole time lotion was flying all over the place. Again I was laughing hysterically through the whole thing.

Perhaps I shall turn my thoughts to how I would spend lottery money.....

YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN JERSEY WHEN....you are waiting patiently for your car at the parking valet and pop into the waiting vestibule for some warmth, and notice that the heater is chained to the bench.....so no one can, like, steal it, man.....

Astrological Sharing

Grand Cross and New Moon on Friday

This Friday brings a beautiful Full Moon in the sign of Gemini - this is a fast-paced sign that loves variety and change! It's all about communication and the sharing of ideas - verbally or through high tech means. This Full Moon is part of a very special alignment taking place on this day - a mutable Grand Cross. Gemini Moon will be shaking hands with Uranus in Pisces, Saturn in Virgo, and Sun in Sagittarius, all at about the same 21' mark! This is indeed a unique occasion.
Uranus is all about sudden change and innovation, social movement, causes to help the planet, group energies. Saturn has to do with lessons learned, and discipline, but can also bring rewards from hard work and effort. and The Sun shines in playful and adventurous Sagittarius, reminding us of our love of freedom and adventure and maybe even travel.

When I felt into this occurance, I sense that these planets are aligning this way to hold a space for something to occur. The orb of the square is so exact, it must be magic, for the Universe to set things up in this way! I can sense each planet taking one step closer to this meeting with each moment, each breath, each day, all planning for this special roundup. Their movement feels quiet, on purpose, and deeply aligned.

Feel deeply into your heart as we progress to this magical event - it feels as though whatever you have been working toward, from the depths of your being, whatever it is your heart Truly wants, is indeed possible. These planets and the cycle they represent are holding a space for this to occur, witnessing the birth of the ignition of your deepest longing. What is it? Do you know? Does it make itself known in a whisper? or is perhaps more glaringly obvious? The time is now for your Heart to open. Yes, you can.

It's been an interesting holiday season so far. I don't tend to throw myself enthusiastically into the holidays, I am learning slowly to experiment with what feels right for me and my little family, what brings the deepest expression and is within my means. Yesterday, I had occassion to brave The Mall as I had to return some items; I was not intending to "Christmas shop." Yet I knew I would meet up with a multitude of holiday shoppers in the process. I could have anticipated a lot of stress, but instead, I chose to head for the mall at a time that felt intuitively 'right' for me. I went with an open mind, well-fueled and properly Meditated, and sang in my car the whole way there. My morning had been beautiful; a shot of acupuncture mid-morning and I was feeling fine.

I was so surprised at how well-behaved my fellow mall patrons were! I observed people being kind to one another, looking happy as they shopped. One little three-year-old sported a rudolph-the-rednosed-reindeer nose that lit up, blinking away! People made eye contact and responded to my hearty "good morning" or "happy holidays" with the same. I was really overjoyed at how humanity was behaving well. Save for one female blowing her top that another patron swiped her parking spot, humankind appeared to be happy.

My highlight of the morning was finding a store that sells nothing but popcorn! All kinds, all varieties! This made me very happy indeed.

My shopping trip, the one in which I actually bought nothing, was so unexpectedly wonderful. It taught me a good lesson not to have preconceived notions that things 'won't work out" or will be hard. This trip was bliss.

Happy shopping....
