About Me

My photo
Living close to what matters, I strive to remember that the greatest story of all is the one I am living and so to live full and well. This is certainly a work in progress!I am a mixed media artist, healer, mom, wife, muser, lover of the natural world. I am learning always about how to listen with care to what's inside that wants to be expressed, brought out into the light of day...to the stories and adventures of people I care about, and to the folks I share this world with, to honor life's impulses and flow and act to make real the dreams I hold within. I hope to share with you the journey of life, full of creative juice, magic, mystery, and the unexpected!

ur happy place 10/26


For the New moon from jan spiller's website, www.janspiller.com:
enjoy... till next time..xx

NEW MOON REMINDER… Wednesday, OCTOBER 26, Scorpio 2:56 pm EST, is the New Moon Power Day in October! Don’t miss this opportunity to make wishes for goals you’d like to reach and experiences you’d like to have.
Because this New Moon is in the sign of SCORPIO, it’s a powerful time for new beginnings in relationships that evoke your passion: perhaps with a sexual partner or a business partner. It is the most potent New Moon of the year for wishes involving Soul Mates or relieving personal debt. Things you may have wanted to happen in your life for a long time can begin easily manifesting through using the boost of this profound and potent New Moon.
For success, your wishes must be handwritten on paper and ten wishes maximum are allowed on each power day. The most potent time is the first 8 hours AFTER the exact time of the New Moon; within the first 48 hours will still work. The potency continues to exist for another twelve hours, but is weaker. For clear success, it’s best to avoid wishing during those hours when the Moon is Void of Course.
Therefore in OCTOBER 2011, your most potent times for wishing are:

Wednesday: 3:57 pm – midnight

Thursday: clear for making wishes all day and night

Friday: 12:01 am – 7: 48 am, 10:45 am – midnight
These times are in Eastern Standard Time and need to be converted to your local time zone. The Moon Box on the Homepage of this site will tell you how many hours difference your location is from the Eastern Time Zone in the US.
Among other things, SCORPIO rules the passion necessary to propel us to a victory. The energy of SCORPIO is discipline and fixed on its goal, especially if that goal involves a relationship.
Because the New Moon of November is in the sign of SCORPIO it is the most potent time of the year for wishing to increase your psychic or psychological abilities; the wisdom to see how to create a deeper bond with someone important to you; the insight to see how to resolve situations involving debt

if all this wasn't enough, a happen chance meeting with sister beachcomber,
nancy from rochester, ny and a bday girl on the beach with her fiancee. nancy and i took some impromptu souvenir pics for them on their camera, they insisted on sharing their batch of Russell Orchard's freshly baked apple cider donuts ...with the sun set we raced off to our respective cars, - clutching our donuts, laughing and waving so long ....worth showing up for , don't you think? as sabrina ward harrison writes in
