Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife or significant other -
Think of someone who's crying out for a companion.
Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children -
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive -
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -
Remember that not one of us is without error and we all answer to the
Divine.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and
Thank the Divine you're alive and still around.
I enjoy doing Healing Touch on others. I've completed Healing Touch
Levels I, II, and III. Someday I would like to begin HT Level IV; I also perform Distant Healing. I am interested in learning Animal Reiki. Spending my time
with my grandchildren, my DH, long walks on the beach under a full moon, gazing at the stars, the rain in the summer (but dislike the humidity), love the
thunder and lightning, rainbows, gardening, dolphins, reading about astrology; automatic writing, counted cross stitch, tole painting, and bead work. I like to
collect Angels, crystals, dragonflies, and windchimes.
I am an Aquarius.
One thing life has taught me: If you're interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come
to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else. - Eleanor Roosevelt. And I love this: Life should NOT be a
journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well reserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine
in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming . . "Damn, What a ride!!!"

In this special moment in life . . .
Think freely. Practice patience. Smile often.
Savor special moments. Live God's message.
Make new friends. Rediscover old ones.
Tell those that you love that you do.
Feel deeply.
Forget trouble. Forgive an enemy.
Hope. Grow. Be crazy.
Count your blessings. Observe miracles.
Make them happen. Discard worry.
Give. Give in. Trust enough to take.
Pick some flowers. Share them.
Keep a promise. Look for rainbows.
Gaze at stars. See beauty everywhere.
Work hard. Be wise.
Try to understand.
Take time for yourself.
Laugh heartily. Spread joy.
Take a chance. Reach out. Let someone in.
Try something new. Slow down.
Be soft sometimes. Believe in yourself.
Trust others.
See a sun rise. Listen to rain.
Reminisce.
Cry when you need to. Trust life.
Have faith. Enjoy wonder.
Comfort a friend. Have good ideas.
Make mistakes. Learn from them.
Celebrate Life . . .

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

Capricorn Full Moon Ritual:
Invoking the Spirit of Creativity and Art
On this night the full moon is in the earth sign of Capricorn, opposite the sun in the water sign Cancer. Their gift to us at this particular lunation lies in the interplay of the elements: earth mixed with water makes clay. As told in ancient creation myths, the stirring together of elements resulted in the earth and all its creatures. In the same way, by mixing these two elements together in a sacred way, we can work magic to invoke the spirit of creativity and art into our lives. Just as, down through the centuries, the skilled potters, builders, and sculptors worked with the soft dough of clay to produce beautiful bowls and urns, adobe homes, and great works of sculpture. ....

Intuitive Message for the Capricorn Full Moon:
Strong in Broken Places
by Julia Bondi
"Your vulnerability is your greatest strength"…this mantra is the underlying secret of the archetype of Cancer. Many of the key watchwords associated with the sign of Cancer, "feeling, sensitivity, and caring", are not commonly thought of in our modern western culture as strengths but sometimes as weaknesses to be protected. Yet, the strength we assign to Cancer's opposite sign, Capricorn, derives from Cancer. Without the true foundation of Cancer's developed feeling nature Capricorn can only display the appearance of strength in an attempt at control and domination....

3-Minute Full Moon
Ritual
by Dana Gerhardt
Draw your hands to your heart. Massage this area. Feel that you have become the goddess, capable of balancing the earth and harmonizing its opposing forces. In particular you are tuned to the forces of Capricorn and Cancer, signs devoted to responsibility and nurture. They represent the forces of "father" and "mother," protecting, securing, holding, and stabilizing, each in their way. Out of balance, they raise the shadows of authoritarianism and helplessness. When we confront their shadow expressions, we feel lonely and unsafe; we feel un-fathered and un-mothered. This negativity circles the globe like a dark smoke. Know that if you breathe in this smoke you have the power to transform it in your heart-breathing it out as the pure white light of the goddess......

Learn how to read the sky.
Keep the moon's two rhythms.
Honor the four turnings.
Enjoy the nuances of daily moon signs.
Know when to be a quitter.
Don't be frightened of void-of-course moons.
Let your moon practice be ordinary.
If you can't stand behind our troops;
please feel free to stand in front of them.
An ye harm none, do as ye will.
