Girl Band


I really want a girl band. Sometimes, when I really think about it... it might be the only thing I've ever really wanted.

How does a woman achieve her goals in a world full of so many distractions? I spend a lot of time listening to other people. I spend a lot time watching others perform. I spend a lot of time reading what other people think. Sometimes it seems that my only thoughts are judgements of others creative endeavors and a light jealousy (often not so light) of those who know how to complete projects. How to take a bite of the sky and swallow it. It must change. This life is too short. I want to be proud of my life.

Don't stop, no it's never enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough

I Believe In Faries... and Astrology

This week has been interesting in the stars and on the land.

Mercury will be in Retrograde for most of October and the full lunar eclipse or Blood Moon on the 8th was in my sign of Aries.

It is the time of year when Mercury's orbit slows and appears to move backward in the sky. This retrograde is said to cause disturbances in communication because it is moving backward from the

It makes sense to feel like one is moving backward in life... While everyone else gets out their telescopes to watch you mumbling and stuttering your lines.

The Aries Blood Moon effects impulse control and fires up everything Aries. Courage and a short temper. Independence and self-involvement. This very cool Mystic Mama article goes in depth.

Recently, on direct communications with people it seems that I can't get my words out of my mouth. However, I am feeling more courageous. Meditation is helping to sooth the raging fire in my soul. That pesky impulse control though. It's always been a problem ;)

All I Want...is a Magic Princess Trip



I wrote an essay about Joni Mitchel when I was in college. The most important thing I took away from it was a line from her ex-husband. He said she was on her "Magic Princess Trip". Other than sounding horribly bitter and condescending it made me want to go on one. You see once I hit Junior High I took on a dark atmosphere as part of my personality... I have been ashamed of the glitter and hearts of my sugar and spice filled center. It is time to address the feminine. Basically anything that I'm too embarrassed to put on a social network because I don't want people to know that I'm actually super girly is going here. Not that I'm embarrassed to love Joni. She just seemed like a great place to start. A woman that was seemed so delicate, while strong, and so honest about what she loved.

I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free

Let us take a moment to discuss how Blue is possibly the best album ever written. If you have somehow never given it a chance or have missed out on the greatness that is Joni Mitchell please do yourself a service and listen to the full album.

Love and kisses.
