Not to mention the eclipse in the south node scorpio... all past life karma coming up to view again... I love your attitude. I am about to turn 63 in December. I love Kenny but haven't listened to any of his new stuff. Thank you for this gift this morning! I too am a wayward yogini... I chose being a Temple Priestess more often for someone really special... 27 years. I find life is such a gift, especially as you say, when we slow down. When I left a corp entertainment job in 2000 I said, "Slower, and deeper." Best decision I ever made.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear you are also a wayward yogini. I need to read up more on this particular new moon, very interesting.

I enjoyed your recent post as well. Will look forward to reading more from you.

I was away all day, but when I looked around... when I listened to Loggins, well, I still haven't gotten rid of your youtube music link. Not listening currently, but when I came in I listened to another song before I left the desk. It's like each topic on the main page looked interesting and worthwhile!

Check out Kenny Loggin's Leap of Faith and Unimaginable Life, both I'm sure released during a time of great change in his life. There are at least five or six songs that I never tire of, both the rhythm and the lyrics. They have been the mainstay to my writing, coupled with an ever ending list of other amazing musicians. What would the world be without music? A question closer to home, what would my writing be without music? A post I'm working on. 💟

I welcome the suggestions. I wrote a book in between two cancer treatments, one in 2011 and one in 2013. 2012. I had wanted to write a funny book but it turned into a 504 page book that was a letter to God. If my brain was about to turn to mush because of chemo, I wanted to say it like I meant it. I questioned why my relationship to men was what it was. I was listening to an Icelandic singer? group? I don't even know what they were. I didn't know he had this new album. I still listen to his previous albums in a trance like state whenever I really want to write... https://olafurarnalds.com/ For Now I Am Winter. I didn't even try to market my book. I didn't feel I was in a place I could stand behind it totally. I put it on Amazon. I didn't try to sell it. I didn't market it. I took it down a few years later because that intimate letter to God was a bit too much to reveal. In July of 2019 three copies of the book were selling for about $1479. Huh? I intended to edit it. I couldn't. It's time to move on. I'm almost ready. No. I am ready. When I published the book on March 9, 2013 my life with men changed. It was instantaneous and solid. Now only one copy of it is still on sale used... I only have three copies of it here. My life has changed so much since then and I'm really glad I had the time and opportunity to write that book in 2012. It opened up lots and healed even more. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0988938707/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0

I just saw that this year two copies of it were sold by used sellers that didn't deliver the book. Needless to say, writers don't get anything when booksellers sell their books used.

This new moon in Scorpio nearly killed me yesterday.

I've been reading up. Wanted to share this with you.

The name of the game for this astrological event is surrender—and trust. Eclipses aren't known for being the easiest transits, but under this week's sky, you may just find unexpected opportunities and blessings are just around the corner. 💟

Gosh Karen, I'm having a tough time as well. Thank you for prompting me to look up a new moon in Scorpio (my birth sign btw). Gosh, no wonder I'm struggling. But from what I'm reading, this struggle is working toward better days. I'm holding onto that thought. Join me!!! 💟

Yes! So thankful for second chances. Tonight my husband and I will go out to dinner in celebration of our first date 15 years ago. A second chance after so much hurt for both of us.

The story about your book is incredible. Wow! Life is so interesting, and our stories... I'm happy to hear that your book was a turning point for you. Mine was as well. Actually you used the word healing, and that's accurate for me as well. I left behind a great deal of trauma and hurt on those pages. Thanks for sharing that story. 💟
