Today I am grateful for smiling strangers, for all those choosing to create a new story of hope and love, and for the countless acts of generosity and kindness that take place with greater frequency on this planet every day. I am thankful for a roof over my head, food in my belly, friends and family, and for connecting to more amazing souls every day. I am grateful for music, art, poetry and all that feeds my soul. For love, truth, and all the beauty of this Earth. And I am so thankful for all of you ~ Happy Thanksgiving!
“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances.” ~Rumi
Meet you there!
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” ~KURT VONNEGUT

“There was madness in every direction at every hour. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right… and that we were winning” ~Hunter S. Thompson
“Pronoia: the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having the sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to support you. The more you learn about the connected universe the more pronoid you become…” ~Nassim Haramein
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.
“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.
