Moon When All Things Ripen

Are you feeling more dreamy today? Have the urge
to dive in and bring to life a special fantasy of
yours today?

Well, it's not your imagination. Tonight is the Full
Moon in Pisces. The dreamy, mystical and beautiful
Pisces energy is swimming all around us.

This Full Moon has many names. You can even make
up your own names for the Full Moon. My favorite
name which I just found today is Moon When All
Things Ripen.

If you have Pisces as your sun or moon sign, this
is your time! For the rest of us, we can still
use the energy of this last Summer Full Moon
for many things.

You can:

Meditate for ten minutes tonight.

Take a healing bath or swim.

Write down a list of your most outrageous
fantasies and dreams.

Splurge and buy something you have been
dreaming about for so long that makes
you feel beautiful and special.

Start a dream journal to keep track
of your dreams.

Watch romantic movies.

Read poetry tonight.

Wear blue and silver.

Have a heart to heart talk with a
loved one about things on your mind.

Donate money or time to any Ocean
related charities/foundations

Pretend your a mermaid/merman!

These are a few suggestions, anything that
delights, captures and makes you feel
beautiful is what you should do tonight.

Remember, the energy of this moon
lasts another night. Wishing you all
a wondrous Full Moon night.

Stars

I found a new poem to learn.
Enjoy

Stars by Emily Bronte

Ah! why, because the dazzling sun
Restored our earth to joy
Have you departed, every one,
And left a desert sky?

All through the night, your glorious eyes
Were gazing down in mine,
And with a full heart's thankful sighs
I blessed that watch divine!

I was at peace, and drank your beams
As they were life to me
And revelled in my changeful dreams
Like petrel on the sea.

Thought followed thought star followed star
Through boundless regions on,
While one sweet influence, near and far,
Thrilled through and proved us one.

Why did the morning dawn to break
So great, so pure a spell,
And scorch with fire the tranquil cheek
Where your cool radiance fell?

Blood-red he rose, and arrow-straight
His fierce beams struck my brow:
The soul of Nature sprang elate,
But mine sank sad and low!

My lids closed down, yet through their veil
I saw him blazing still;
And steep in gold the misty dale
And flash upon the hill.

I turned me to the pillow then
To call back Night, and see
Your worlds of solemn light, again
Throb with my heart and me!

It would not do the pillow glowed
And glowed both roof and floor,
And birds sang loudly in the wood,
And fresh winds shook the door.

The curtains waved, the wakened flies
Were murmuring round my room,
Imprisoned there, till I should rise
And give them leave to roam.

O Stars and Dreams and Gentle Night;
O Night and Stars return!
And hide me from the hostile light
That does not warm, but burn

That drains the blood of suffering men;
Drinks tears, instead of dew:
Let me sleep through his blinding reign,
And only wake with you!

Lucky Day

I love Friday the 13th. I always feel like
it's an extra lucky day. Which is totally
opposite of the superstition surrounding this
day.

It made me think of the concept of Luck.
Is being Lucky a state of mind? Or are some
people just kissed with good luck or bad luck?

For me, some days just feel Lucky. I wake
up and feel like everything is going to go
my way. Other days, when I feel like I woke
up on the wrong side of the bed. I do my best
to attract more luck my way.

This is what I do. If you have any tips you
make yourself more, lucky. I love to hear.

My Good Luck Tips

1) I say in the morning and in the afternoon,
"I am open and receptive to any and all
prosperous good that come my way."

2) I wear a color in a shirt, necklace,
bracelet or a burn a candle in things I wish
to have more luck in:
Creative success: gold, yellow, orange.
Financial good: green, gold.
Strengthening love: pink, red, blue.
Better Health : green, red, pink.

3) I do a favorite activity that makes
me happy for at least 30 minutes.

4) Take at least 10 minutes with quiet
to let my mind rest and let my imagination
go free.

5) If I get any intuitive feelings I need to do
or go somewhere, I do. Most of the time
I find something just for me that I need.

6)Say thank you for all that I have right
now to the food I have in my frig, my clothes,
friends, money in the bank, etc

7) Remind myself, that I'm always Lucky in
one way or another. Just have to recognize it.

I'm wishing all of you a very Lucky Friday
and weekend.

Summer

The days and nights of summer are beginning to wind down.
You don't need a whole lot of money to enjoy summer.
Just the willingness to embrace joy and beauty
wherever you are.

Have you gone to the beach? Worn flip flops?
Taken a walk aimlessly for fun? Brought something
for yourself purely beautiful and makes you smile?
Sat to watch the sunrise or the sunset? Spent a day
doing your favorite activity?

We only get one summer a year. Enjoy it. Revel
in the freedom and sunshine.

The Wild One

Last week, while I was getting over my
summer cold. I finally got to see
"The Wild One" starring Marlon Brando.

I've seen a lot of his earlier work. This
movie to me shows why Brando is fab.
He says more with gestures and movement
than most actors say with their lines.
Since I was trained in Method acting,
watching him brought back memories of
lessons I learned from my teachers.

Enjoy Brando when he was hot, sexy and
simmering!!



TCM is doing Summer under The Stars.

it out and see if one of your favorites is being
showcased.
