Eyeball Deep in the “Re-” Activities
September 6 – September 29 is a Mercury Retrograde, which means we’re smack, dab in the middle of it. If you haven’t a clue what a Mercury Retrograde is, read about it here, explained beautifully by my friend, Lisa.

Back to Life, Back To Reality
I ‘got my frump on’ real good last night, had a good cry and woke up feeling much better this morning. Nancy, I saw your comment this morning, and you are so right – the one thing we can count on in this life is change – and that’s about the only constant we’ve got! [...]
