a good story told

A good story is like a Zen koan.

You hear it & each time, depending on where you're at & what's going on in your life, it strikes a chord.

You resonate to something in the telling & these reverberations lead to an insight or some revelation.

That's the true gift of a good story. It's why everyone loves a good story.

omens & portents

In older times, today's aggressive energy may be construed as an omen of impending war. But nowadays, it is looked upon as a golden opportunity (Jupiter) to pursue skills, talents, hobbies, desires and passions (Mars). A terrific boost for feminine interests, the arts, social and cultural affairs.

Whatever the outlook, there is much that is volatile. So pay attention!

VALENTINE !

Lots of Love, me

the winter of my discontent

so much for being an ambassador of goodwill and kindhearted support ! ! !

when I opened my mouth or typed those words - what was my intended outcome ? ? ?

whatever it was, it is painfully obvious that I did not get the desired results

and although I am not above groveling or eating humble pie. . . .

I am disconsolate over missing my mark totally.

more snow on our backyard

our life's purpose

for the lucky among us, our careers are being who we are

there is no retirement from that

bbbBBRRrrr ! ! !
