Happy Little Things

Two eclipses...back to back...should be be happy or scared? I am not an expert on astrology but I would say: let's go ahead and be both. The first eclipse was a solar new moon eclipse and occurred last week on April 19. The next one will be a lunar full moon eclipse on May 5. The themes for both of these eclipses are similar: destruction of what is no longer working in your life and creation of something even better.

Two questions for you: Do you feel like your days are a little blah? Not much motivation to get up and get going?  If you answered yes to those questions, you are most definitely not alone!

I don't mind telling you...

There was the year I tried very hard to do all of the things society tells us we should do and it was a hilarious series of mishaps and disasters. Ever since then, we have forgone society's rules. My favorite Valentine's Day was the year I came downstairs and there was a giant bag of Doritos and some chocolate...
