The Astrology
Well, we are officially celebrating a blue moon. First off, we have six aspects retrograde. We have Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Chiron. Now, Venus and Mercury will be finishing up their retrogrades within the first two weeks of September...about the time of the New Moon. So, really, we are ending this 13th Moon Cycle with a bang. Well, actually, more of a whimper because the thing is that with so many planets retrograde things are going to be slowing waaaay down. I mean really slow down the next two weeks. That, I think, is a good thing because I know, personally, I have a lot of integration that I need to do about all of the weirdness in my own life. Anyhow, this Moon is appropriately ruled by Coyote. The chart looks like something Coyote would make...this is a challenging but harmonious chart. The Moon is at 7 degrees of Pisces. 7 is the number of Spiritual Illumination according to Carl Jung. So we may experience an epiphany or spiritual breakthrough this Full Moon. This is a mostly harmonious chart. There are more positive aspects then there are negative. The Moon is conjunct Saturn. This a fertile time for dreams from the Divine. Most people have a negative view of Father Time but he's also considered the Messenger of the Creator. Saturn, however, is opposed the Sun in Scorpio but Jupiter is in a supportive Trine. Our life force is in a state of equilibrium. As such, it really depends on the individual and what you bring into this Full Moon if this will be a negative or positive experience. The energy itself is balanced out. Mercury in Virgo is being trined by Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus. We are really focused on the down to earth details this Full Moon. We are really focused on the details and results that they bring. Mars, now in Libra to obtain justice, is opposed by Neptune in Pisces but Trine Pluto. This is necessary to see change in those Capricornian institutions but the Media Narrative doesn't support it. We may be seeing the majority of people thinking in a new way but conventional institutions will stick to the status quo. Uranus is still sextiling Neptune but it is also Trine Pluto that is sextiling Neptune too. These three are really working to change the Collective Conscious Narrative. However, the North Node is squaring Pluto challenging the Doomsday End of the World perspective. The Oracle Stone: Green Agate This is a simple but effective Heart Chakra stone. The soothing green energy helps bring balance and harmony. This stone is one of growth and connecting to nature. When feeling out of balanced or too flighty this stone can help you come back to the Center (the Heart) perspective. If you are looking to grow in any form- personal, physical, or financially- this is the stone to use. Full Moon Meditation I haven't done one of these in forever. I don't have a lot of time but I have to note that Donald Trumps Mugshot does look a little like the Soul Shrinker. I just thought that was funny. There has been a lot of gossip. I didn't know the first Republican Debate would take place during this 13th Moon cycle but that was perfect timing. Just so much mud slinging in those debates and it really didn't amount to anything. We bought a new car, which on the eve of Mercury Retrograde and with Venus Retrograde I was very apprhensive about...and I still am. The day after driving it off the lot (it was used) it threw up a Check Engine Light. The Husband diganosed it himself and it's something undre warranty but it's not a good sign. The vehicle is a Chevy Volt which I never thought I would own and my nephew, who's worked at several Chevy dealerships as a tech, told me never to buy one. The Husband was hell bent on an electric car to replace the one he crashed so...we got the Volt. My favorite car, the Cruze, is no longer made anyways but it still stings. I am not excited about an unreliable electric vehicle. With the check engine light right off the bat I just have a bad feeling about it. So, that is what I have to say. I know it's not much but I am writing this quickly before I tuck my little one into bed and I make the video for this moon cycle. I just wanted to add on this little snippet.

So, I watched the first episode and then I stopped. I did watch the New Rockstars Breakdowns of the episodes and the final episode. To say this series was super disappointing is an understatement.
There were a lot of problems with this series. First, instead of depending on shocking us with who turns out to be Skrulls...something they could have left in suspense and certainly they could have implied a few that were off camera....the series went with a tired old ploy of international terrorism. The series should have been thrilling but even in the first episode I saw that Gaia would change sides and probably be in the final battle. Nothing in the series was really a surprise. What they went for was very subtle. The final boss battle episode fell into the uncanny Valley. No one wanted to see a weak Nick Fury. They made a murky international terrorist series instead of an exciting unmasking of Skrulls in high places that would have been more fun. Plus it took itself too seriously. The idea of thr Skrulls trying to destroy the world by triggering a World War with Russia was also a bad idea....because we are on the very real edge of war with Russia because of it invading Ukraine...I think it was just too much like the news headlines. Collective Unconcious We had another existential crisis with both G'iah and Nick Fury. I found that interesting but it is a bit boring that everything is reflecting the existential crisis theme this year. I don't mind being right about a theme but this one is far too strong. I think the almost universal rejection of this series is what is interesting. The old plot that was so popular right after 9/11 of terrorism has lost its hold on the imagination. This is a very good thing. So, that is my major take away on the Collective Level with this series. Overall, I was very disappointed. A really interesting story where the skrulls were pulling the strings of the world's elite to guide them towards something nefarious would have been more difficult but a lot more interesting. I really wanted to do a longer reading Libra season because a lot is going on Astrologically dueong this season. We will be wrapping up the Venus Retrograde. Mercruy is going retrograde the first day of Virgo season and Uranus will be going retrograde. Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto, Chiron and Neptune are already retrograde. So on the 29th in particular, when Uranus goes retrograde we will have six aspects retrograde. What that means is it will feel as though everything comes to a stop. Things will be slower then molasses.
When planets are retrograde its time to Review, Renew, and Integrate all of the stuff that has happened in the previous cycles. This is a big one because with six aspects retrograde there is a lot to review and Integrate. So, I decided to do a reading for this period of time. The Medicene Card For a Medicene Card I pulled number 9, Butterfly. First, 9 is the number for endings. Now Butterfly Medicene Is Transformation. So this Virgo Season Is going to transform us. We're going into this like Catelillar with a limited point of view. Like Catepillar we are going to enter a chrysalis and be transformed into Butterfly that has a higher perspective. Oracle Stone For the Oracle Stone I pulled Kambaba Jasper. This gorgeous stone is known as the Shaman's Journey Stone. It is a great companion when writing in a journal and doing inner personal work. Again, we have this message of going within this Virgo Season. Advice Card Our Advice Card is number 54, The Sweat Lodge. Fifty four breaks down to 9, so again we have the number for endings. The Sweat Lodge is similar to entering the Womb of the Mother. There we face the darkness and feel into the Void of existence that is the Divine Feminine principal. Here we may have visions or become aware what it is that makes us fear the dark. When such phantoms show themselves we can then work with them and bring them into the light of our conciousness. That is the essence of Shadow Work. Clarifying Card Not surprisingly I pulled number 20, the Dark Lady as our Clarifying Card. The Dark Lady represents the Subconcious and Shadow Work. Overall the message here is that we are going deep within this Virgo Season. Not only are reviewing things but we're also at the end of many cycles. Knowing that we are at this end point we can work with the energy of those previous cycles represented by the planets that have gone retrograde. The Shadow Work here may have to do with how we dealt with challenges over the last year, since theblast Virgo Season. If you really want to go deep look up the period of time the six planets were last direct. The main Shadow Work question is there anything I've been avoiding dealing with? If there is something that has been put off during the last year now is the time to deal with it. I know, I've been talking about Cycles of 12 we have a thirteenth Moon. These happen every once in awhile and the coincidence that I had synchronized these systems was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Blue Moon Cycles usually happen only when the Moon's Nodes change signs. I kind of consider them the hidden escape hatch.
The Thirteenth Moon is totally different from the others. When you look at the other Moon's they have plants or elemental names. This is the only animal in the thirteen Indigenous Moons. We are in the Age of the Animal...and in the Tarot it's symbolized by the Wolf and Domesticated Dog. They didn't have Coyote. Yes, some may argue that the Thirteenth Moon belongs in the center. Some may argue that Coyote is the Demiurge of the Indigenous Spiritual Tradition, just as they can for the Pale Fox of the Dogon tradition or Loki in the Norse tradition. The Coyote is the Trickster. In Indigenous Tradition Coyote is sacred. Jamie Sams in her book for her Medicene Cards calls him, "Medicene Dog." Not Surprisingly, in the cards Coyote is number 13. In fact, she has a wonderful paragraph I must share with you: "...You may have conned yourself, your family, your friends, or even the public at large into believing that you know what you are doing. But, listen Coyote. You are balled up in your own machinations. You have created a befuddled, bewildering, confounding trick. Pick up the juggler eyes from the ground and put them back in their sockets. Sew through the genius of your acts of swlf sabotage. Find it amusing and laugh, trickster, laugh." Pg 90 We are all Tricksters. Every single one of us have that Mercurial mind that flows but can be poisonous if we are not careful with it. All of us sabotage ourselves, especially if we take life too seriously. Kathy Callhan describes Coyote Moon as, "...an animal of contradictions...he at times creates the world and st other times destroys it. He is sometimes the hero and sometimes the Antagonist. He is both a clown and wise healer...the lesson of Coyote is to embrace the moment and expect the unexpected." Pg 27 She explains that Thistle is the plant associated with the 13th Moon explaining all the benefits but offering this, "Yet, just try to touch this plant. It's sharp teeth reach out and prick you harshly. The many offerings of thistle are thus hidden behind a most effective defense system. " Pg 26 The 13th Coyote Moon is one of contradiction but also laughter. Jamie Sam's is one of my favorite teachers but she openly says that she carries Coyote Medicene. There isn't a 13th step to Alchemy that I know of...although, I am only now going through and synchronizing the systems and similar to Abrham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs I may find something lurking there overlooked or not mentioned because it didn't fit into other people's paradigms. However, we're not going to stop there. If that was all that I had for you that wouldn't be enough. Instead, if you look at my hand drawn chart you will see that with the Coyote Moon I placed two other symbols... The first one is Eris. I don't know if I've gone into the 13th Wanderer's story. Remember originally the word planet meant Wanderers and there were seven. The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Only in modern times did we change the meaning of Planet and Moon. Not only that but we decided that Sun's were there own classification. Yet, if you go by the old definition and add the other planets- Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto it makes 10....but you're excluding a few planets if you were looking from outside the Solar System. Instead, if you add the Earth, Chiron and Eris you have thirteen planets...Chiron is considered a minor planet, while Pluto and Eris are Dwarf Planets. That makes Eris, the Univinted Feminine and Shadow of our Subconcious, the 13th Planet if we were to think outside the galaxy. That's a little bit of Coyote Medicene. So, because she is the unacknowledged thirteenth wandering body in our Solar System, and Plant X if we elevate her and Pluto back to Planet Status...she is consistent with the 13 Moon. Eris was a trickster, in a way, causing the first War as documented by the Greeks. Her story of the Golden Apple could be linked to Eve and the villianization of the Divine Feminine Archetype and Subconscious. Silly men didn't seem to realize how powerful the Subconcious is and that it contains so much. Yes, it has the Shadow within it but also our direct line to Divinity (changeless tap into the subconcious), to Out or Body Experiences during the sleep cycle and the Shadow. To take the Thirteenth symbol and Thirteenth Moon even further to show it is actually a cycle of completion I included the 13th Zodiac Sign. The Poles of the world have shifted as predicted. The North Pole is now in Russia instead of Canada. As a result the Zodiac Constellations have shifted as well...and you could say Ophicus is the 13th hidden esoteric sign. Similar to Eris not many want to embrace or place deep meaning on this concept. The idea itself was argued by a NASA scientist and I don't think he had any idea the storm he would create in the Astrology field...who basically rejected the idea. Yet, here we have a completion with 13 too. Ophichus was a physcian taught by Chiron. His symbol was the Serpent but only one around a staff unlike Herme's. Often times in myths his constellation is associated with a Seed House or Granary. That's important because in the Dogon myth it was the Granary from which Fire was stolen by the Pale Fox who was said to have created the world. In many cases, Ophichus is associated with the theft of fire. Yet, from a purely symbolic point of view he is a human that has mastered the inner chakra system. He has Mastered the Snake energy, the Mars energy, so that he is holding it timely in his arms. There are actually two different snake constellations that Ophichus holds. Those two snakes could easily be the Concious and Subconcious he transmuted through Alchemy. To me that is what Ophichus represents. He's followed Chiron's Rainbow Bridge of the Chakras and he has mastered them. By being our Thirteenth Zodiac Sign and just now coming into it he signals the completion of Mankind's Underworld Journey. Enough people have woken up so that the entire Collective will wake up. That Eris and Ophichus (which the Sumerians were aware of and recorded) are now a part of the Collective Consciousness is no coincidence. The Thirteenth Moon is one of deep esoteric mystery. There is a simplicity to it and yet a wonder. The Thirteenth Moon, where we learn to laugh at our folly and actually learn from our lessons, unlike poor Coyote, may be our ticket out of the seemingly endless cycle of Incarnation. When we Master our Inner mind, our subconcious and transform it into a flexible form capable of perceiving that this world is a wonderfully simple compressed school, to borrow Robert Monroe's term, where the students forgot they were in school and the reason why we are here...you can't help but laugh at the inane things everyone takes so seriously. We came here to amass experiences so that we could be unique souls capable of being Companions, to borrow Edgar Cacye's term, to the Creator. Is there something more then the Creator? If the Creator we know and refer to is represented as just the Divinr Masculine... sure seems as though there is because there absolutely is a Divine Feminine...and there is a mystery in that thought too that I will not go into here.
,I'm going to get straight to the point here...I thought the movie dragged and that it is my least favorite of the Guardian's Trilogy. That said, it was a really solid performance by all of the stars. I really watch these movies because of the chemistry between all of the actors and their phenomenonl performances make even this really fun. That this is the only Marvel product that hasn't tanked this year says a lot.
All of that said lets get into the part that I enjoy the most...what I think it means for the Collective Unconscious. First, there is the existential crises them...again. We've seen that in pretty much every movie that is coming out this year. Even when it comes to the Dune II trailer there is an existential crises. So, this is the most dominant theme this year. I've heard a lot of different people saying that the United States is in an identity crises. How this is going to be resolved I don't know. Especially since I think that individuality is at a peak. Will the Existential Crises continue to be the norm? They were common before and I think the last time that we, as a society here in the United States, went through this was in the eighties. Of course, that ended with Ronald Regan being President and things really changing. Based on the titles of the movies next year, yes, things are going to change. I think there will be a back to the basics sort of feeling next year where things feel as though they are rebooted but in a really strange way. What I really found the most encouraging was Rockets line to the High Evolutionary along the lines that he wasn't trying to perfect nature to make it better but that he hated it. That was really reassuring. For a long time people have been trying to change the way things are...even in Alchemy the process is supposed to perfect nature....and there is the belief that only humans can raise nature to an even higher state of being. As someone who has rejected the idea of Utopia and the Return of Eden types of mentalities because I feel that they are futile attempts to argue with the way things are...seeing Rocket reject the High Evolutionary was perfect along with the story of self-acceptance. Humanity has rejected it's state of being for too long. The idea that we are different then all other life on this planet has given rise to all sorts of things. We are said to be a little higher then the animals and a little higher even then Angels because we have Free Will. There has been, in most spiritual literature, an almost survivors guilt sort of feeling where Humanity has felt guilty for being different. There are a lot who believe that Humanity is a virus on the planet and not a benefit. Meanwhile there are some who really think we should Engineer absolutely everything 'improving' on things from the way that society works, to babies, to the amount of grain in plants or the bone structure of the animals that we eat. There has been some of that for generations- after all we breed animals and we have created different types of plants but there is a point that is too far. I think the High Evolutionary was a great way to explore how far is too far when it comes to engineering life. There could have been so much more to it then what they covered. They could have done the story a little bit differently to focus more on the High Evolutionary. Honestly, though if we are ready as a species to just accept things as they are instead of trying to constantly change things I think that all of us would be better off. There has been an emphasis of trying to take humanity back to Eden or to create a Utopia for a very long time. Making life more comfortable for our fellow human beings should be a priority but there is a point where if life were too easy it would be a bit pointless. Kind of like with Socialism...if you pay everyone the same wage no one wants to do the harder jobs. No one. The truth is the struggle is part of what makes life so sweet and success even sweeter. When things are too easy they are boring. For example, I learned that anyone can be published and it's really easy. The hard thing is selling your book which takes work and some money. Getting into the right hands to promote it is hard...there are a lot of books out there. Does that sort of cheapen the experience...a bit. I feel a lot better about the short story that I had published that had over a million people read it...even though I didn't make a dime off of it...because there was as a lot of competition and my story was chosen. The idea that we need to 'fix' things, though, instead of learning to live with what exists is at the heart of so much. Just like the Alchemical idea that there is an elixer that grants immortality, youth, and perfect health....let alone anything. I heard someone state that being in Unity Consciousness grants healing...yet, if someone came into this life with a particular disability to learn from the experience of being disabled (and naturally forgot that is why they chose that incarnation for that reason) to lead them to the hope of being healed (which can happen if there is something the soul can learn from it but the Disabled life lessons must have run its course) seems misleading. We reach for all of these solutions...these cheat codes trying to make life better and easier. Yet, if there were not that Saturn effect of limitation life would be boring. In Guardians of the Galaxy, let's say, the High Evolutionary was able to make what he considered a perfect being right off the bat. Then there would have been no Rocket Racoon who is a beloved charecter...it's his struggle with his very existence, history and self that makes the charecter so endearing. You could go on to say why would a soul choose a life like Rockets...but then it's clear all of the benefits that character has despite a horrible origin story. I can see a soul agreeing to that life for the benefit of just the potential of being a Guardian of the Galaxy at some point. The Soul would know that's a potential but the Avatar would wonder through the entire experience why any soul would choose such a life. The same thing can be said of someone who comes into this life with a challenge. Take dwarfism, which comes with all of its disadvantages. But, someone like Peter Dinklage has a wonderful acting career because he landed a dream role...the Soul may know that's the opportunity given and take the life for that potential of turning what seems like a disadvantage to something beautiful. I had a friend who had dwarfism who had wonderful parents and ended up fulfilling her dream of being Alice in Wonderland in a Disneyland Parade...again, the challenge makes the highs and lows in that person's life even more sweet. So, if people learn to accept things as they are and the idea that trying to 'perfect' them is a distortion because it assumes something is flawed as it is now. The idea of accepting things being perfectly imperfect is a conclusion I came to a long time ago. If this life were 'perfect' and easy with no 'skin' in the game...so that we couldn't lose anything...it would be very boring. The addictive nature of this world is the fact that we can lose everything in the blink of an eye just due to a random turn of fortune or gain everything by the same turn of fortune. That is where the beauty of life is...in the challenge, in the uncertainty, and making something wonderful despite the challenges.

Life is wonderful as it is and making peace with it instead of trying to change it is so much more powerful.oi is one that needs to be tossed out. Life is wonderful as it is and making peace with it instead of trying to change it is so much more powerful. We are at the point as humanity where we could start trying to engineer our species into something 'perfect.' That story, if the Gray Aliens do exist and are our future selves, didn't work out. Going full Hive Mind (granted they didn't end up looking like the Borg) didn't work according to the current Gray mythic lore based on what Bashar taught about them. Too much 'perfection' or 'sameness' creates stagnation and lead to a genetic dead end. Thankfully, this movie seems to point to the idea that premise has been rejected. The entire Guardian series, hindsight 20/20, was about self-acceptance. Part of that self-acceptance in our every day experience is accepting that life is imperfect and that's okay. No one can make anyone else's life perfect- not the President and not a Universal Income- instead people have to come to peace with life being what it is and seeing the beauty in the ugliness. I'm reminded of the Dung Beetle symbolisim, my favorite,where we plant the seed of our spiritual potential into poop (dung) and then as a natural process of the sun's heat new life- spiritual Awakening or Rebirth...happens. Our soul has planted the seed (the Avatars life) into the Dung of Physical Material Reality and with time it does bear fruit. The Astrology
First and foremost, and thank goodness based on the last Moon Cycle (the New Moon and Full Moon charts were wild) this Moon is at 23 Leo which breaks down to my favorite number...five! This is the number for change and indeed we will experience change this month as the Moon Cycle returns to having a New Moon in the first part of the Month and a Full Moon in the second end. If you felt things felt a little backwards since March of 2022 you're not alone. Thankfully, this is a tremendously harmonious chart. The Sun and Moon are very busy again but this time they have companions. Not only are they conjunct in the sign ruled by the Sun, but they are also conjunct Venus and Lilith. They are also in a harmonious trine to the North Node and Chiron. However, the entire stellum is being squared by Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus. We are feeling the Goddess energy balanced with the Masculine this month despite the challenges we are facing with our daily/materialistic goals. Mercury is conjunct Mars in Scorpio. They've dug some truth out of the swamp. Jupiter is trining both of them as though on a bullhorn to inform everyone what has been found. Pluto is also Trining Mars so what has been found is aiding in the dismantling part of the Capricornian systems. Yet, Neptune is opposing Mars because the Collective Consicousness doesn't want to take action on this information. Neptune is still sextiled by Pluto as the fear based Narrative of Media continue to dig their own grave. The Indigenous Moon Blue Moon This Moon falls within the same time period as Hot Winds Moon that we have already seen making this a Blue Moon. This is a time of great change. The Blue Moon is the 13th Moon in the Cycle of Moons. 13 is a number of completion. As this Blue Moon falls in the Eastern direction, the element of Air, this change is in regard to our ideas on that archetypal layer of reality. The Hebrew Letter: Yod The smallest and only letter suspended in the air is the Yod. This is the uppercase Yod and represents the Divine Masculine. This letter may be small but powerfu;- it is used twice in the sacred name of God. Tarot Card The Hermit The Hermit stands upon his Mountain shining his lantern to guide those on The Path of the Seeker. He is our Higher Self and calls for us to Awaken to our true spiritual nature so that we can doscover our Divine Purpose of being companions to the One Creator. Faery Oracle Card Soul Shrinker The card number is 55 which is double change but breaks down to 1 which is Unity. However, this card represents the Faery witness to all the gossip, negative slander and negative thoughts that we send out into the Cosmos. The best we can do is take responsibility for our thoughts. If we are not the ones doing the gossip and slander we need to realize we don't have to accept others negative concepts of us and it will boomerang back to the sender. Tools This New Moon with Gossip, Slander and Bullhorn being mentioned (what did Mars and Mercury find in the Swamp?) loving communication is what I want to cultivate. For Air I'm using Champa Flower as it, in my opinion, has a very loving smell. I will be using Rose Essential Oil to represent water. Finally, I will use a White Candle for purity for Fire. Earth Mineral Grid Ross Quartz Generator: This is the most popular stone for love. The lovely pink shades (especially in this piece that the pink is so subtle) invoke a gentle and peaceful love. Larimar- This Throat Chakra stone is one of the most potent for emotionally honest communication. Natural Larimar- Again, Larimar is a Throat Chakra stone and it is super potent. The natural Larimar has more of a "raw" and wilde energy. Blue Goldstone- A Throat Chakra stone that encourages to use golden language and is reminescent of the sky at night. What we say becomes reality so why not make every word count? Turquoise: A very spiritual Throat Chakra stone that helps you communicate with Divinity. This stone helps you speak your truth. Where to begin really?
Boy has this recent moon cycle been a difficult one. I've had so much going on that it's been a bit bananas. First, we tried to take a family picture at Knotts Berry Farm in an old timey west style. We did end up with a picture but it wasn't what I wanted. I let my eldest daughter choose my outfit and she chose a cowgirl outfit which isn't what I would normally wear (I would have done the Salloon Girl) but then she fought so hard not to be in the picture it was awful. She got into the outfit and everything but had a full on fit when it came to taking the picture because she said that she was afraid of the camera flashes. I told her I would never make her take another. I expected my youngest daughter to be the most difficult but she handled it like a dream. She was absolutely adorable in the picture. Then we had a party at my husbands work. Boy was it hot, easily a triple digit day and it was outside. My eldest daughter was excited about the bounce house but then wouldn't go into it and threw a fit, again. So that was more difficult then it needed to be but all of us still had fun. Both kids fell asleep on the car ride home they were so exhausted after being in the hot sun for so long. My eldest daughter started school and had her fifth birthday. That was a huge deal and it was a lot within the same week. I was afraid that she would throw a fit about being left at school but she was so eager for it. She has been looking forward to school and making friends because of her Dad for a very long time. There is some anxiety there because she is the minority in her school- the majority of the kids are Hispanic at around 80%- and most don't speak English. So, we do worry that she's not going to learn at a normal rate since most of the children at the school are learning English as a second language and will probably draw most of the attention as they struggle. She did make one friend, but it's difficult to make friends when most of the kids are boys (and at that age boys and girls naturally don't tend to play together) and don't speak the same language as her. We are thinking that we are going to tighten our belts and send her to a private school where she can make more friends. At the very least we want to do that by Middle School because the Middle School by us have Security Guards who look like police officers making us wonder how safety of that school. My daughter had a wonderful birthday. She was allowed to be at the front of the line when they left school and she was so proud in her birthday crown. She was adorable and I do like her teacher. We were supposed to have the Husbands Aunt and Uncle along with his parents over for her birthday but his Aunt and Uncle cancelled the day of because his Uncle wasn't feeling well. Then his parents were over two hours late. We knew they were running behind because his Dad always calls to ask the Husband about the traffic but it made for a very interesting day as my daughter wanted to open her presents right away. Then not very long ago our 18 year old cat passed away. She passed away in her sleep after two days of being very lethargic. She just died of old age. Eighteen years old is actually pretty old for the type of cat that she was but that was really sad. Then this past weekend our big dog, Apollo, who was thirteen passed away. That was really tough. He was a great big dog. He was super good with the kids. Even at the end he didn't snap or even whine even though he was in a lot of pain. The Vet thinks that he had advanced Cancer and there was tumor somewhere in his digestive tract. He was peeing blood at the end and couldn't walk. Boy was that hard to watch. Add to that keeping up with maintaining the YouTube channel and I've been pretty busy. I told myself that if any of the weekly Oracle videos had ten views I'd keep up with it. While they are not consistent several of the signs manage to break twenty each week so I've stuck with it. I've seen a lot of subscribers pop up from that so it is really encouraging. I am not very far from being monetized, I've been making little gains so, that is really good. I shared on here my video on Individuation and Unity Consciousness. Honestly, for my channel, that video blew up. Following up with the Video on meeting my Higher Self is a bit difficult. While I had no problem sharing that experience on here it's a bit different in video format. I can't figure out which format I want to do...do I want to tell it as a story or do I just want to list three things that I learn? The second of the two would probably be the more popular video. Lists do really well on YouTube for some reason. But it's also a little more difficult to chop up what I learned into different sections instead of a cohesive story. I also watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I have a review to write on that and I did watch one episode of Secret Invasion. I may share my opinion on that as well. So, that's what I've been up to...it's been busy and full of emotions. Definitely a roller coaster ride. |
