Autumn Equinox







On the Autumn Equinox, Night is equal to Day, Dark is equal to Light= BALANCE! It is always very interesting to me that every year at this time, the Sun is in the sign of Libra, the BALANCED Scales! The balanced scales of Justice, for example, stiking the right balance for the highest good of everyone involved. The ancients really knew what they were doing! Yes, we have technology and education, etc but they had the stars, sun, moon, planets, nature and each other to keep them balanced, in peace, harmony & fairness, always moving forward. At this equinox, the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west (equal). In the northern hemisphere, before the autumn equinox, the sun begins to rise and set more and more to the north, and afterward, it begins to rise and set more and more to the south. The Autumn Equinox begins at 00 Libra, a time souls seek balance. This equinox solar affect may produce a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, providing easier access to other dimensions beginning around 24 hours prior, and ending around 24 hours following the exact Equinox time. The ancients taught that doorways or thresholds into the mysteries are more easily accessed during the equinoxes and when we consciously engage this timing we are taking advantage of the opportunity to further activate our own experience of these sacred timings and what they have to offer us. This is a great time to be on the land, in a power spot that calls to you, whether that is in a forest, near a body of water, on a mountain, in a sacred site or in your back yard. What is important is to create the time and space that supports a direct experience of the mysteries that are ready to reveal themselves to you.

Full Moon, Harvest Moon



This full moon is the Harvest Moon- it casts enough light for farmers to do their work late into the night. Above, Lady Liberty also works by the light of the full moon! This picture is celebrating two Goddesses- Liberty and Luna! The full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox is called the Harvest Moon, because all harvesting is usually done by the equinox, getting the earth ready for resting in fall and winter. This harvest moon is very close and bright! It was really bright for my night drive to Denver- showing me the way! This time of year is perfect for moon-watching. We watch the moon, as well as the moon watching over us...

9-11

New 911 Memorial






Prayers for 9-11 have been written & repeated every year now for 10 years. This decade has been the decade of pain, mourning and grief.
Today, the mayor and president will not even allow prayers to be said at the 10th Anniversary of 9-11! Also, they have limited gratitude or remembrance of the 400 firefighters and police officers that were killed while saving others. This has been called a clergy ban, or religion ban by some in the media. That's too bad, many religious leaders of many faiths have stood at ground zero and wept while saying prayers, including the Pope. We Americans are a faithful people- this ban is an unspeakable injustice to us all!
Ground Zero is only a zero to the politicians; it is Hero Ground to all of us Americans who felt and still feel today the stinging pain of an incalculable loss- the loss of thousands of innocent people, as well as hundreds of rescuers- our Heros of 9-11.
"Monitor your thoughts, for they become your words. Monitor your words, for they become your actions. Monitor your actions, for they become your habits. Monitor your habits, for they become your character. Monitor your character, for it becomes your destiny."

Labor Day in the USA



How is your Labor Day? Mine is always a Labor of Love... working in the garden, around the house, on relationships, or on myself! Out of the office for a day doesn't equal out of touch. Labor Day in the USA usually means catch-up time for most of us, especially with almost everyone taking their work home with them, or carrying the virtual office at all times to plug in anytime! Love the extra time to do whatever, though it is still not enough time!
