Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)

Pretty sure this video/song influenced my early concept of holding on to anything during a transition, i think i may have been age 7:




What can I say but that i am a product of the 80's ballads of heart-wrench (that's right, i thought i made this up from a connection of my verbally challenged words in usage but alas wordnik thank you: http://www.wordnik.com/words/heart%20wrench)

at this pivotal point in my life, at yet again another restaurant gig, white rabbit experiences and my eyes continually opened, sharing joy amongst new coworkers once again through the stage of the industry: i am grateful for this moment in the time.

my long haired formon friend, your words resonate through to me like divine inspiration, truthful and piercing, oh how we find fellow sunbeams now embracing the light within and all around!

you will be missed in my every day presence of the hustle and bustle, though i look forward to the prophecies to come wise one

Om namo guru dev namo
i honor the teacher within you

Circle of Light & Love: Full moon in Leo, transition to the Piscean Sun

under the moon lit sky, in the northwest night, shared a howl amongst new friends round the smoke of a circle fire.

I breathe my arms wide to the open sky above, giving thanks and reverence to the bright full ball of overhead light. Restless nights, early morning awakeness, sun rising as i lay my head to dream slumber.

I have been embraced by this transition of the moon's energy, finding the many meanings to this current phase of the moon and sun cycles.

As I gathered amongst friends past and friends new for a celebration of signs in the Freelard neighborhood, thanks to hospitality of Brian Cisneros, I was once again inspired by a night of music, creative costumes and shared lore!

I searched for clarification of why numerous creative minds have been collectively gathering in my path throughout these past few days of full moon nights and found that as we leave the new moon of Aquarius, we are now embracing the present full moon in Leo:

The Moon waxes to full on February 18 at 12:36 a.m. PST / 3:36 a.m. EST. Full moons signify the completion, culmination of what may have been initiated during the previous new moon in Aquarius which encouraged us break away from old ways, bad habits, unhealthy ties, and seek a new way of being/living/seeing/thinking/interacting. This Full Moon in Leo dares us to be courageous enough to walk the talk ... live the dream.


Thank you Jessi for your early evening shared healing through the tarot. This site speaks similar truths of the relationships of the past which impacts our present.

continuing in duality (I am right/your wrong, good/evil, black/white and I win/you lose.) Is the old energy and will not lift you to a higher consciousness approaching 2012. Remember that, it takes two to keep the flames of fighting going. Don’t get entangled in other people’s addiction to drama, band wagons of hate. Let it go. Rise above

As for my ever focus on healing form the past and moving forward to the future, I am reminded by this site
http://virgomagic.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/leo-full-moon/

The part of the body ruled by Leo is the heart, and this Full Moon wants to break our hearts open — not to destroy us, but to dissolve these old wounds of separation. If we can open to the feelings that arise and allow them to flow through us, rather than closing our hearts to the pain, the fire of the heart can burn more brightly. From this heart-centered place, we can see with innocent eyes, opening new possibilities for inspired action.

I love what this site says about the full moon of this February as it relates to the cold Winter.

February 18th full moon is also the date of an auspicious Buddhist holiday, Magha Puja
http://mundoexchange.org/2011/02/magha-puja-magha-puja-or-makha-bucha-day/

Friday 18 of February signifies the Magha Puja - Fourfold Assembly or Sangha Day. Marks the day Buddha addressed a meeting of 1250 arahants. The spiritual aims of the day are: not to commit any kind of sins; do only good; purify one’s mind. Magha Puja is a public holiday in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia – and is an occasion when Buddhists tend to go to the temple to perform merit-making activities. This National Holiday honors Buddha and his 1st teachings 9 months after his enlightenment. It is believed that on this day the Lord Buddha taught his ways and ordained his first disciples. Thais and volunteers often celebrate by going to a local wat or temple. At sunset Thais light candles and incense and circle clockwise around the main temple,meditating on inner peace, good thoughts, and good ways.


I am ever grateful for the shared creativity and looking forward to the Piscean sun sign with the middle of February passing and the new month of March my birth month.

on February 18, the Sun leaves cerebral Aquarius for spiritual Pisces, where intuition and insight sometimes rule over logic and reason. The Sun transits Pisces until March 20th.


My little white rabbits tell me this teeter is about to catapult something forward and i am actively involved in the effort, then surrender to what lies ahead.

Continually grateful for the sound of musical beats, creative minds and the sharing of open souls.

I heart NPR & PBS

Just Signed Petition to stop the House from cutting NPR and PBS. Cutting funds for these programs which inform our public of current issues & increase knowledge from age 0-100 is an attempt for governmental control of our media resources. I do not support the House's decision, please sign this petition to ask our current house not to cut these programs. Thank you! Pass it along!

Encircled by the New Year's Full Moon

A monthly balance of the full moon is a special time cherished with every moon I can remember. Whether I be encircled by the women's groups which I was so blessed by Shenayda's healing reiki, (thank you continually Shenayda for your inspiration and astrological influence in my life past and present http://www.shenayda.com/about/
)

Alone in my northern land of Seattle, I embrace this time to reflect on myself and the month past, while preparing for a new month to be present in my endeavors.

Having recently found this website, I just adore the Astrogrrl's postings on this site, such fullness of thought, worth checking out for this January Full moon in Cancer:
http://www.astrogrrl.com/2011/01/full-moon-in-cancer-january-19-2011.html#axzz1EPT12zGt


One of my many goals with this new year is to present links and support the insights of fellow bloggers, with respect to their shared sites I will provide snipits on my blog, giving the entire link and photo credit for these found sites.

I look forward to sharing these discoveries with you all

where has the year gone already?!

So i never make resolutions for the new year, but this year, I have been telling myself I will be better at...

...keeping in contact with friends and family
.... telepathy and dream talk isn't getting through I guess.... i better get a data phone for facebook status updates

....accepting that facebook is overrunning people's minds and actions so instead of a coffee date/lunch date/ anything face to face.... i am giving into a data phone

.....updating my blog
.... first post 1.14.11

....going to bed before the sun rises..... it's 4:45, i think I still have an hour!

oh the obsessions of an artist/ entrepreneur/ silly person. I'm looking forward to beaches and endless sun, in the meantime, I'm continually pressing forward to make things happen...

I have spent the last week of my return to Seattle from a much needed 3 week holiday with family and friends to refresh and renew, and get sick too getting back to health and back in a schedule, I feel kind of in a daze, so many things happening so quickly and in so many directions.

Change, continually happening.

I'm at the tipping point of the biz thing, I have a project in the present continual works, and I can feel it is getting closer to the time when I can actually believe what is in front of my eyes, no longer a dream or a hope, but an actualization.

Warrior Diva since 1985

today I rediscovered my inner self

influenced at an early age, or perhaps encouraged at an early age, to be my strong, determined, independent self fighting against darkness and swirling in the sky with a flying white horse. Oh how some things we don't realize about our path manifest later in life, even some 20 years later, the message is true:

Children have wisdom, listen. Children are light, see.

Previous to the multiple life experiences which were in the path to my existance, I had that inner soul fighting to be a warrior in a childs body. Now I have a somewhat grown-up body but I still feel so much like a child, embracing that inner child I maintain my inner strenght.

Thankful for this remembrance via the campaign to raise awareness against child abuse from Mashable.com - Facebookers Changing Profile Pics to Cartoon Characters to Fight Child Abuse.

Those who know me true, know my determination to focus on this issue in the only way I know possible - to spread light and love to all compassionnately so that those whose hearts are hardened by past experiences, current struggles, and future anticipations can feel support and care.
