“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

I remember years ago when my sons were small, a neighbor’s children coming over to play. This was a pretty frequent occurrence as we both had two children and they were all of the same ages. And more often than not, we adults would enjoy the pleasure of adult conversation while the kids tended to their toddler affairs.
But there was this one day when only the children came to play. My neighbor decided she would take the time to catch up on her to-do list. I chuckled in agreement, only too happy to contribute to her day’s inspiration.
When I brought the kids back to her house a few hours later I asked – expecting an air of accomplishment to deliver her response – “so, how’d it go? Did you get everything done?”
She smiled, giggled, kinda half-cocked her head and said, “I changed my plans. I sat down and actually read the paper – I mean read the paper for the first time in a long time.” (For those of you without the pleasure of children, reading the newspaper usually consists of scanning)
She was in such a state of emotional euphoria I knew it was not because of the knowledge she gained reading the newspaper but from the moment in time she took to just be.

It’s presently mid-afternoon where I am. There’s plenty of time left in the day to accomplish a few more things on my to-do list. The dogs are sleeping, the house is empty, the confusion has settled. Then suddenly out of nowhere . . .
I could hear the silence.
I stopped to listen. I hadn’t heard silence in a long time. Not at this volume.
I decided to forego the to-do list and just listen, breath, enjoy and be !
As I sat there listening to this moment in time I couldn’t help but think how beautiful it is during such unexpected moments to . . .
Let the moment fill you rather than you fill the moment !

Did you happen to catch the Full Moon last night – it’s said to be the biggest it’s been in 18 years – a Super Full Moon !
Do you know what this Super Full Moon in the sign of Virgo means for YOU?
Are you into astrology?

If for no other reason other than to see maybe what I’m so excited about when it comes to astrology, check out my favorite astrologer. Dr Standley is not only an astrologer but a complete healthcare provider – health of the mind, the body, the soul.
I came upon Dr. Standley back in 2006 at a very difficult time in my life. She is absolutely phenomenal at all she does and she does A LOT. She gives a lot. I consider her a friend whose path I am more than happy and more than blessed to have crossed.

There is a lot going on in Astrology. There is a lot going on this year. If you’re trying to make sense of the chaos that may be encircling your life, perhaps it’s time to take an astrological look at it. And I can assure you, there’s no better place to start than going to Dr. Standley’s webiste and learning about Dr. Standley, learning about Astrology . . . but mostly, learning about YOU !
Happy Full Moon !
Happy New Astrology New Year !
Happy You if you take the time to get to know yourself astrologically !

I’m not exactly sure what it is – but there’s something about this picture that captivates me, calms me, inspires me, invigorates me. Maybe amidst all the chaos in life it’s the simplicity of this picture that speaks to me. Maybe it’s time – even if just for a brief moment – to enjoy Simple Serenity !
