Today’s Tarot: Two of Cups. Attraction, Union, Optimism. If in the romance aspect of life, this is a time to follow that which attracts you. Acknowledge that the heart wants what it wants. Better to go for it, risk rejection, and know once and for all than to sit in darkness and curse the light….
Here are some words of wisdom from my dear friend John. I don’t know what brought this moment back to me, but it did change my perspective on life, the universe, and everything and New Year’s Eve seems like the perfect time to remember. Back in college, four of us went on a ski weekend…
Saw Les Mis today. I fully expect Ms. Hathaway and Mr. Jackman to stand on stage and accept their Academy Awards (her in support and him for leading actor). They both did a terrific job. Hathaway especially blew me away. She has an expressive face and she used it so well to show us Fantine’s…
I am officiating a wedding on Monday (my first Christmas Eve wedding). Interestingly, while I’ve been percolating on the ceremony since the groom asked me to officiate early last week (not a lot of notice, I know, but I’m sure I can handle it), I haven’t written much of it yet. Do any of you…
I have been reading a bunch of blogs and articles on how we need to stop kids from being bullied because they are gay. Today, especially, there are a few articles because Nate Silver (the statistitian who so accurately predicted Obama’s re-election) is gay and the news about it went public yesterday. So, today, blog…
Delta airlines So, here is how Delta airlines baited and switched me into paying extra for my ticket. I have always believed that if you purchase a ticket for a plane ride, then by gum, you should have a seat for that plane ride. And Delta agrees with that part of it. Certainly, they gladly…
So, Skyfall. [spoilers abound so be warned] It was great in many ways. I enjoy Craig as Bond. I enjoyed Bardem as Silva (I do understand that some might call his performance over the top and I agree to an extent. But he did the split between mad villain and toddler who wants his mommy,…
I have been inspired! Here is the list of all my amazing teachers who taught, inspired, and most of all cared. Mrs. Molodovsky: (first grade). She saw an immigrant child who spoke no English and had pretty much nothing. She spent time with me outside of school. She took me to the zoo and while…
Balance, Strength, Flexibility. I could say these are words to live by this week. But then I’d have to add, action, passion, and compassion as well. This draw of cards is pretty impressive, actually. You don’t often see so much positive show up in one three-card draw. Let me go get my shades (’cause our…
Ups and Downs Emotionally? Oh yay! (This week’s cards: King of Cups, Page of Cups [reversed], Seven of Swords) I feel like I should be quoting cheesy 80s love song lyrics here, for some reason. But I think I’ll just say that if you put yourself out there emotionally, if you are honest about your…
