New Moons are a blank page on which to speak your dreams out loud. Today is a powerful time to set intentions for things you’d like to create, develop, cultivate, make manifest. There are many ways to initiate this communion with the Universe from lighting a candle to elaborate rituals. What matters is that you’re committing yourself to your vision, and open to receiving guidance, healing, support from Spirit. This is a big one. Time to live your dreams!
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him—and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status—that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again.” ~Ella Fitzgerald
Love this so much. Women helping each other succeed is such a beautiful thing.
Love Woody! We can govern ourselves and help take care of each other. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Eddie Wang and his friends are working to supply enough sleeping bags for more than 3,000 people in King County, Seattle. Wang says he knows the sleeping-bag project can’t address the underlying causes of homelessness. But he says, “It’s important because we all have basic needs. A warm place to sleep is something we take for granted every night.” Love this project and the video is so moving and inspiring!!
You can read more about Eddie Wang and the project at the link below. Much love!!

“Feminism is a tremendously underestimated force, viewed in the present context primarily as a woman’s concern. The understanding has not yet percolated throughout society that the advancement of women is a program vitally connected to the survival of human beings as a species. The reason for this is simply that institutions take on the character of the atoms which compose them, and what we are most menaced by in the twentieth century are dehumanized institutions. If women played a major role in policy formation and execution on the part of these institutions, I think they would have a far more benign and ecologically sensitive kind of character. So I see feminism not as a kind of war between the sexes or any of these stereotypic images, but as actually a kind of effort to shift the ratios of our emphasis that is expressed through our institutions.” ~Terence McKenna
“Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.” ~Henry David Thoreau
Because he detested slavery and because tax revenues contributed to the support of it, Thoreau decided to become a tax rebel. There were no income taxes at that time and Thoreau did not own enough land to worry about property taxes; but there was the hated poll tax – a capital tax levied equally on all adults within a community. Thoreau was jailed in 1846 for refusing to pay taxes in protest against slavery and for publicly condemning the U.S. invasion and occupation of Mexico.
“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” ~Matthew 23:12
