Show up for yourself

As the spotlight of the Full Moon begins to slowly wane, the intensity of the Sun gains momentum as it shifts into its favorite sign, Leo. Now that things look so vastly different than they did before, it may be easier to come as you are, so to speak.

The time to be silent, the time to toe the line and the time to hide among the crowd is done. You see, when you realize the extent of your own autonomy, you discover that it’s not so easy to push you around.

When you don’t believe in something, you’ll believe in anything. At some point this week, you’re being encouraged to put your hand on your heart and make a truly “right for you” choice.
Sure, it may ruffle some feathers. Sure, you may get some push back. If that happens, then ask yourself what are their motivations for doing that? Chances are, it’s more about their own insecurities than it is about you doing what you want to do.

Show up for yourself. Show up unapologetically. Also, keep in mind whether you do or you don’t, some people are going to say things about you regardless. The question is, do you even care?

 My son was barely 10 years old when we moved into our most recent home. On the day we arrived, I told him to get on his bike and ride around the neighborhood to look for kids to play with. Without concern or care, he promptly did just that.  I knew when he didn’t come…

Black willow provides many ecological benefits 

September 11, 2024
I often spot black willow trees as I’m kayaking along a riverbank or lakeshore. While perhaps less picturesque than its (non-native) cousin the weeping willow, black willow is native to the Northeast and provides a host of ecological benefits. Willow trees are in the Salix genus, along with pussy willow and more than 20 other…
