Although they won't get as much publicity as Lebron, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the professional athletes and celebrities donning "I Can't Breathe" shirts, what the Hoyas did before Wednesday night's game against Kansas was arguably more impressive. One, because they're a group of 19 and 20 year olds conscientious enough to make that type of political statement. But, more importantly, college athletes have virtually no power. Yes, Division I athletes are on full scholarships, but those are one-year renewable. Meaning they can be revoked if a coach feels the player isn't good enough or if they over-recruited and need some scholarships to free up. They also have the power to not allow a player to transfer schools, and to decide which schools they're allow to transfer to if they do allow them to leave.

Also, they're broke. There's a difference between being surrounded by money and actually possessing money. Most college athletes have no money. And "no money" usually equates to "no power."

This type of powerlessness might not seem like that big of an obstacle, but trust me. When you're a broke 19-year-old Black kid whose status as a student-athletes is in the hands of his coaches and who also happens to be one of the most visible faces at a predominately White university, having the courage to use your one source of leverage — your visibility — to do this type of thing is a big fucking deal.

The Power of a Promise.

To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. – Galatians 3:15-18 ESV

As a former Pharisee, Paul had a scholarly understanding of the Old Testament. But it was after his conversion, when he had received the indwelling Holy Spirit, that Paul truly began to understand that the Old Testament was a foreshadowing of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. Post-conversion, his comprehension of the Scriptures was both magnified and clarified. Familiar passages took on a whole new meaning when he was able to view them through the lens of the gospel. In the case of Genesis 13:15 and 17:8, where Moses records God’s covenant to Abraham, Paul exegetes these all-too-familiar passages by revealing that through them, God had been promising the coming of Christ. He was the “seed” or “offspring” through whom all the nations would be blessed. God’s promise to Abraham would ultimately be fulfilled through Jesus. But what is Paul’s point in bringing this new understanding of God’s promise to light? He was attempting to answer the argument that the Mosaic law, which came after the giving of God had made His covenant with Abraham, somehow superseded or supplanted it.

On the contrary, Paul argues, God had made a binding covenant with Abraham and his “offspring.” That God-ordained covenant could not be nullified or broken. It was a unilateral covenant, made by God and could only be annulled by God. But Paul stresses that at no point did God revoke or replace the covenant, even when He had given Moses the law some 430 years later. In fact, Paul points out, the inheritance tied to the promise of God could be received only through the promise of God. It was not accessible any other way, especially not through the keeping of the law. And the inheritance of which Paul speaks is tied directly to the idea of justification by faith. This was the crux of the problem taking place among the Galatian believers. They were being told that their justification was tied to the keeping of the law, most specifically to God’s command regarding circumcision. In other words, they were being sold a bill of goods that promised them a right standing before God through law-keeping and self-effort, not faith in Christ alone.

Paul wrote to the Colossian believers:

May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. – Colossians 1:11-14 ESV

He prayed for the Ephesians…

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints – Ephesians 1:17-18 ESV

For Paul, the promise of God made to Abraham and fulfilled in Christ, was all about the wonderful reality of a restored relationship with Him, available to both Jews and Gentiles. And this incredible gift was only available through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, His Son. It could not be attained through self-effort. Paul went on to tell the Ephesian believers that he wanted them to understand…

…what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places… – Ephesians 1:19-20 ESV

Our salvation, justification, sanctification and glorification are all tied to the work of Christ on our behalf. Our righteousness comes from Christ. Our right standing before God is as a result of His shed blood. Our future inheritance is tied His sacrificial death on the cross. All that we are and all that we hope to have is based on the finished work of Christ. And for that we have much to be grateful.

None of this negates the necessity of obedience to God in our lives. Faith and works are not an either/or proposition. For Paul, it was a matter of order or priority. Faith comes first. But true saving faith is always followed by good works. Works are the fruit of faith. Works cannot provide justification, but they can certainly prove it. As Paul told the believers in Ephesus, “we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10 ESV). Paul speaks of the inheritance made possible through the promise. That is directly tied to our justification with God. We have been made right with Him and enjoy a restored relationship with Him. Not only that, we are His sons and daughters, His heirs. Paul wrote to the believers in Rome: “This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring” (Romans 9:8 ESV). Just a few verses later in his letter to the Galatian believers, Paul reminds them, “if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (Galatians 3:29 ESV).

Our privileged position as children and heirs of God is a direct result of the promise of God. And it was made available to us by the Son of God. When we place our faith in His saving work done on our behalf, rather than on our own attempts to earn God’s favor, we are made right with God and stand before Him as righteous. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Christ has done for us.

Who lit the torch for Diwali?

November 14, 2007 at 4:28 pm Leave a comment

[Wednesday, November 14, 2007]

The dust has finally settled down. The big hype surrounding the release of Deepavali movies too has come to close.

A total of half-a-dozen movie has hit the screens on Deepavali day creating great hype and expectations among the audience. Vijay’s ‘Azhagiya Thamizh Magan’, Suriya’s ‘Vel’, Sathyaraj’s ‘Kannamoochi Yaenada’, ‘Polladhavan’ starring Dhanush, Jeevan starrer ‘Machaakkaran’ and ‘Agra‘, a movie featuring newcomers.

It was celebration time at various cinema halls and multiplexes last week when these films hit the screens. Fans celebrated in joy the movies hitting the screens.

Let’s check out the response and box office results of these movies.

‘Azhagiya Tamil Magan’

Vijay’s ‘Azhagiya Tamil Magan’ has witnessed a bumper opening. Almost all the shows in Chennai city have been running to packed houses. Vijay dons a dual role. However his role with negative shades has not gone down well with his fans. The movie features Shreya, Namitha and Ashish Vidyarthi in the cast. Rahman’s music has failed to strike the right chord.

IDS Waximaize Grape 5lb
PRICE: $32.47
Complex Carb Supplement. POTENT Fast Acting for Bigger PUMPS. Increases Blood Volume! 40g of High Molecular Weight Carbohydrates. Waximaize is a corn based modified starch with unique properties in the human body. While most complex carbohydrates from normal food sources remain in the stomach to be digested, broken down into shorter carbohydrate sugar chains before entering the bloodstream, Waximaize with its unusually high engineered molecular weight "Drops" through the stomach at twice the speed! Because of this, Waximaize remains a complex or long chain carbohydrate as it enters the small intestine for absorption. In addition to this, Waximaize has a very low Osmolarity which allows it to quickly and effortlessly cross into the bloodstream intact. Stage 1. Once in the bloodstream Waximaize draws subcutaneous water (Water trapped just under the skin) into the bloodstream, quickly increasing blood volume. This initial response reveals definition in the muscle previously washed out by the thin film of what was previously perceived as body fat. Stage 2. This increased blood volume causes visible veins to appear in the limbs to carry the increased blood volume to muscles. This vascularity adds to the appearance of a leaner physique. Stage 3. this increased blood volume delivers Waximaize to waiting muscles, overloading glycogen stores for an unparallel "full" feeling. This glycogen loading fills muscle bellies revealing previously unseen peaks in size. Waximaize in combination with other supplements including Creatine, Testosterone Boosters, Stimulants, N.O.Products, or Amino Acids will dramatically increase the speed and efficiency of absorption into the bloodstream and subsequently to muscles.

What Do You Weigh?

16 Jan

What do you think this vintage chick is weighing?

It's In Those Shoes

Weigh What's Really Important

Weigh What’s Really Important….SELF RESPECT!!

This ad from the Body Shop isn’t a current one, but its message is timeless so I thought it deserves a blog post. And I was having a little fun with it 🙂

Though I love Holiday season in general, dressing up is definitely one of my favorite parts! Yet, with so many different events, parties, get-togethers and mixers to attend, choosing what to wear, can get a bit frustrating! So, I though it would be fun do a post covering a few different functions like a casual work party or a family get-together for example, girls night out and finally, a dressier, date-night type occasion.

For me, Holiday dressing doesn't automatically imply getting super dressed up! Take festive outerwear for example, a beautiful plaid jacket in a signature Holiday black and red color combo captures the spirit of the season without looking too formal! Perfect for any casual function, not only does it look great but it will also keep you warm and cozy for the rest of the season:) For today's look, I paired my red checked moto jacket with all black pieces and accessories to really make it the focal point of this look! Fun little finishing touch, an oversized plaid blanket scarf to make that red really pop!

A little fun, a little edgy and sexy, a feathered skirt and a tailored blazer are a match made in fashion heaven and a great alternative to a little black dress! Aside from my general love of separates, what makes this particular feather mini & fitter blazer so great is their versatility. You can pair this mini with tailored pieces like I've done for today's look or wear it with a slouchy turtleneck sweater and boots for a slightly more casual vibe. And the same can be said about the blazer! Dress it up with tailored bottoms or down with a pair of jeans and cute loafers. Basically, the possibilities are endless! For today's outfit, I was going for a really dressy, polished look, so I added strappy heels, a fun gold clutch and some beautiful layered jewels in gold.

Dresses are my achilles heel, and fun, sequin number are my ultimate weakness, especially for the Holidays!:) Love the way sequins catches the light, sparkles and shines in a beautiful rainbow of colors! Once again, a great alternative to a little black dress, sequin dresses add that perfect dose of glitz and glamour and create a really strong impact. Because they are such a statement piece, I prefer to pair them with really simple accessories so that they don't take away from the dress. A cute pair of heels and a simple clutch is really all you need to shine! Finishing touch? A few layered rings, red lips and tousled waves! And voila! A perfect date-night look!

EXPRESS red checked moto jacket ( similar option here ), mid rise skinny jeans, ribbed turtleneck sweater, rhinestone embellished feather mini skirt, 22 inch Studio stretch peak lapel jacket, One Eleven caged back bralette, Aztec sequin embellished mini dress

Peeps March 24, 2008

Posted by voolavex in Uncategorized.
Tags: , , , ,

Peeps are iconic in the US.  Who does not know of Peeps.  My husband found two Peeps links that are funny and witty and sharp.  I must share them.  As a kid I never actually ate peeps – not a marshmallow person but I did keep them until they were hard enough to play with safely – couldn’t have a squishy peep.  Now I find out I am not alone.  What a comfort.  I present for your pleasure :

Take a peep!

If you tell me your three faves I will tell you mine!

Capes, Cowls, and Credibility: a round table discussion with the authors of Corrupts Absolutely

Here's our second round table discussion with the boys and girls behind Corrupts Absolutely? I already offered a brief roll call of our contributors, so there's no need to be redundant. Just go have a look at yesterday's round table, where you'll find out a little bit about each author, as well as links to their websites and blogs. Now, onto the topics.

Considering how people behave with mundane power, do you believe the old adage, with great power comes great responsibility, translates well to superheroes? Do you think there is more accurate axiom that could be said of superheroes?

Cat Rambo: I think it absolutely translates well. Because if they're not doing that, then they're supervillains, not heroes.

Jeff Strand: The best axion would be: "It's not always necessary to destroy so much stuff while you're battling supervillains. It's not like the economy is in fantastic shape right now, so if you could avoid throwing Doctor Destructorium into the side of an expensive building, it would be appreciated."

Lee Mather: Yes, I think it translates well. If they weren't responsible then we would be in serious trouble. In essence, they're the older brother, the policemen, the government. Because they're so much stronger than us, we have to trust in them. Whether I believe in the reality of the axiom though is another story… plus the adage "with great power comes an opportunity to oppress the little guy," doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Karian Fabian: How about results may vary? Each person reacts differently. Consider winning the lottery: Some will use the money responsibly and benefit themselves and others; others will blow it in an orgy of spending and end up back where they started—or worse. Some people handle fame with grace and are an inspiration—others seem to live to be tabloid fodder. If you enhance a person, you still have the basic person, and that will determine what they do with their enhancements.

Wayne Helge: I think it all depends on how the hero comes into the powers. If you have Spider-man growing strong and agile overnight, he's going to abuse it because he doesn't know how to handle it. If you have Bruce Wayne training for years and years, adapting his life, his mental process, his behaviors; he's going to adjust as he goes and be ready to manage his abilities once he realizes he could wipe the floor with a room full of tough guys. What's the axiom? Jack White probably said it best (albeit in an entirely different context) when he said, "steady as she goes."

Tim Marquitz: I think the adage presumes a morality that is rare in modern times. I believe super-beings in the current age would be far more selfish, far more mercenary in the use of their power than those of the 20’s, 50’s. There would be exceptions, of course, but I think real super powered beings would imitate the comics where more and more are becoming anti-heroes.

A more appropriate adage would be the one Corrupts Absolutely? asks. Does power corrupt? I believe so.

Kris Ashton: I think Stan Lee nailed the essence of superheroes with that line. It even applies to The Punisher and Batman, who aren’t meta-humans as such. When you have a power others don’t, how you use that power defines you.

William Rose: I believe that adage is a good guiding principal. It's an ideal which should be strove for, but usually isn't.

Ed Erdelac: I think Lincoln hit the nail on the head using the absolute power quote for this book. But in the ideal world of superheroes as it has been established, I like 'Power has only one duty -- to secure the social welfare of the People.' - Benjamin Disraeli, Sybil. That's the kind of quote Captain Ameria could get behind, I think.

Jason M. Tucker: Uncle Ben was right. With great power comes great responsibility for damned sure, but even Spiderman had trouble with that in the beginning. He let the thief who ended up killing Uncle Ben slip past him. Talk about instant karma. Even though the adage is apt, it’s not something that I believe would enter the mind of most who developed superpowers. Unfortunately, I think the world would become a might is right kind of place. More than it already is. Power would very likely breed more corruption.

Wayne Ligon: I think that phrase, "with great power comes great responsibility," should be carved on every courthouse and statehouse in the land. If Stan Lee could be considered to have done anything truly great, it was distilling that phrase out of the human consciousness. I do believe in it. It is, like most high ideals, a goal to strive for instead of an everyday reality. You can tell tons of interesting stories about heroes that reach for it and fail AND heroes that reach for it and succeed, if only for a brief time.

Which superhero do you find to be the most implausible in terms of their behavior with relation to their abilities?

Cat Rambo: Superman. I think he'd be a much much colder fish than he's ever portrayed, and much more like Dr. Manhattan from Alan Moore's Watchmen than anyone might think.

Jeff Strand: I always felt that Underdog should have been angrier at the injustice suffered by house pets. He never seemed to care that much that dogs were on humiliating leashes and forced to eat the same gross food every day. I'm not sure this completely addresses the question you asked, but everybody else took the good answers.

Lee Mather: There are two – (ironically, two of my favourites) that don't stand up well in terms of plausibility. The first is Batman. Surely with so much wealth you would just invest in an army of vigilantes and get them to do all the dirty work while you sit back with a beer? Secondly, it has to be the Hulk. The whole point of him is that he is rage / the ID personified, so there should be no morality sneaking into his actions. I'd like to see him pull the legs off someone who cut him up in traffic, for example.

Karina Fabian: I have to go with William and Wayne—the comic book industry has reinvented our heroes so often that it’s hard to say which is implausible. You’d have to pick an iteration. I will say this, however: I’m disappointed in the trend of remaking superheroes into something against their original writing just to fit a political or social agenda. Make a new hero if you want to do that, and have him or her fit in smoothly. Save the slash for fan fiction, in particular.

Wayne Helge: Sad to say, but Spider-man's history of peer torture at the hands of Flash Thompson should have left him scarred and ready to abuse his new-found powers . It's sort of like winning the lottery. On the day after Uncle Ben's murder, I think he would have kicked the shit out of a lot of bullies. And it would have ruined him. But, on the up-side, it would have saved us from the dance scene in Spider-Man 3. I think.

Tim Marquitz: I always found Superman to be unbelievable. Maybe I’m just a horribly flawed person, but being more powerful than damn near everybody is a temptation I couldn’t pass up. There are way too many opportunities for personal satisfaction that I just can’t see Superman passing them up and always fighting the good fight.

I kind of see Hancock as a more realistic version of Superman. It’s easy to be flawed when everything comes to you so easily.

Kris Ashton: Wonder Woman would have to be up there: I’ve never bought the premise of her character on any level. Plausibility was something comic book writers had to tackle as their audiences became more sophisticated in the 1980s. They now have it down to a fine art.

William Rose: That's a tough question to answer, mainly because we now have so many different variations of the same hero from which to choose. And there are some heroes I dislike so much that when I consider them I really have to wonder if I'm being fair and balanced. Is this really implausible? Or do I just think that hero is kind of lame? So I think I'll have to take a pass on this question.

Ed Erdelac: I hate to say Superman, as it seems easy. To be raised by humans and yet inherit none of their prejudices, to be all-powerful and a total humanitarian. That would be great if there was such a person, wouldn't it? I love Superman. But I'm a Catholic, so I was raised to believe that's possible. Batman is pretty implausible too, though if you think about it. He's a 1 percent-er, and how many mega-rich folks would take the time to leave a note if they knocked off your rearview with their Maserati, let alone spend their nights protecting single mothers taking ill-advised shortcuts through back alleys? These are the two most popular guys DC has though for a reason. Because that's the kind of hero people would like to be out there....a guy from humble beginnings who is empowered and does the right thing, or a privileged guy who looks out for his fellow man. Batman is Jesus for atheists.

Jason M. Tucker: As much as I love the character of Superman, someone who has that much power would be very dangerous. How could one man be that good, standing for Truth, Justice, and the American Way all the time? Perhaps aliens don’t have the same strata of emotions that humans do, because you would imagine that all it would take was one little meltdown for Superman and the entire world would be screwed. With all that power, the folks in the DC Universe best thank their lucky stars that Supes was found by the Kent family rather than, say, the Manson Family. Now, there’s a story idea.

Wayne Ligon: None, really. Most superheroes we know are a product of multiple writers over a long period of time and not all writers are created equal. Any superhero can be written well and any superhero can be written poorly or mishandled.
Usually when people raise this question, Superman is the first character that comes to mind. So, I'll use him as an example.

Some have risen to the challenge of writing interesting stories for Superman while others have let themselves get blindsided by minutia. They look at, say, the vast array of abilities Superman has and think ‘there’s no way I can create any real tension here; he can solve any problem I could possibly pose’. That writer isn’t looking at the character of Superman, he’s looking at a laundry list of abilities, which is the wrong way to approach any character. It’s reminiscent of people thinking that, for instance, rich people have no problems. Of course they do. They have different types and kinds of problems than most, and they still have all the problems that come from being a human being. Writers that think Superman is not a very human being are completely missing the point.

If there was a time that really brought this home, it was the end of the Silver Age. You had writers artificially shackled by The Comics Code who had little choice near the end but to continually resort to self-parody or nonsense stories in order to create any hope of tension, because the Code prevented them from portraying superheroes and the world they lived in with anything approaching reality. I’m not a big proponent for superheroes being totally realistic; but a healthy dash of reality and a good helping of verisimilitude help to add enough of a grounding that it once more becomes possible to tell good stories and still keep almost all of the ‘tropes’ intact at the same time.

Things I’m Loving – March 2017

As I mentioned in my last post, the past few weeks have just flown by. I can hardly believe our daughter is over a month old already! Having a newborn is definitely not the easiest thing in the world…I have never been more sleep-deprived in my life…but I wouldn’t want to miss a single coo or smile! We’ve had a lot of family visit over the past few weeks to visit the new addition and also give us a hand so we have managed to get out of the house a bit and I managed to make sure not every item on this month’s list is baby-related. 😉  (more…)

Things I’m Loving – February 2015

February was quite a busy month. So busy that when I went to write this post, I discovered I hadn’t ever finished my January Things I’m Loving post! I knew I’d worked on it but I forgot that I still needed to add photos and hit Publish. >_< Oh well. It’s done now. The one good thing about it I suppose is that it further supports my decision to cut back on my commitments. I’ve just had too much going on and was beginning to feel rather run down. I did reduce my hours on one project so hopefully I’ll feel like I have a little breathing room for a change. Considering this post isn’t a month late, maybe it’s already working! ^_~ (more…)

Showa Kinen Park in Autumn

It’s hard to believe that it’s already the end of November! Living in Hawaii, seasons just kind of blend together and sometimes it doesn’t really feel like time is passing. (Then I check to see how long it’s been since my last blog post and I’m shocked!) I’ve been hearing about the beautiful autumn leaves (and now snow) from family and friends in Virginia so I’ve been feeling like I’m missing out on Fall. My solution: looking through my Fall photos from Japan! Last year we enjoyed a lot of time in Showa Kinen Park and the autumn leaves were simply gorgeous.

Lots of people visit the park during the peak season for the autumn colors. It’s a bit similar to the viewing of cherry blossoms in Spring except it doesn’t quite draw the same crowds (the cherry blossoms only last a few days so everyone is viewing them at one time) and you don’t have the picnics beneath the trees.

Still, we tried to go on weekdays when there were fewer people. There was an exhibit the park presented with images created from flower petals and twigs from trees. These must have taken a lot of time! The first image is from an anime named Gatchaman Crowds while the second is a scene with fireworks and autumn leaves.

The entire park was filled with beautiful autumn leaves so we just enjoyed walking down the various paths and enjoying the beauty while enjoying a hot chocolate from a vending machine.

Resized-P1050301 Resized-P1050313

We even found some flowers blooming!

The Japanese garden section had some of the most beautiful autumn scenery so we spent quite a bit of time there. There were some turtles enjoying the scenery and fading light as well!

With that trip down memory lane, I’m feeling more in the spirit of the season! 🙂

Culture Day in Japan

I was just relaxing and checking the news after a busy day of class and work when I realized that today is Culture Day in Japan! Of course we missed all the celebrations this year but we were in Tokyo last year for Culture Day and had a great time at the celebration held at Meiji Shrine. Remembering that led to an immediate search through my photos to relive some fun memories.  (more…)

Night -blooming Cereus

I’m back! It has been such a busy couple of weeks…I organized an event on campus, started a new job, and had midterms. I’ve had a lot of fun while being busy because these are all things that will give me great experience and help me figure out my career path but it has been exhausting. I just finished my last midterm exam this morning so I wanted to celebrate with a post of something happy and light. Thus, I present to you the night-blooming cereus! (more…)

Taking a Walk to Fight Breast Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this year I decided to join the fight and participate in a walk put on by the American Cancer Society here in Honolulu. Like a lot of people out there, I have family members who have fought and some who are still fighting this disease. Leading up to the walk, I learned a lot about what the American Cancer Society does with the money raised, including making mammograms available to women who need them and funding research to not only find better ways to fight the disease, but to hopefully one day prevent it from ever occurring. That is something I will definitely get out and walk for! (more…)

Memories of Tokyo Fireworks

I know the temperatures are starting to fall in a lot of places but not here! The unusually hot weather that arrived at the beginning of the month seems to have decided to stay and if today’s hot, humid weather is any indication, we’re in for more. All this hot weather has me thinking back to the last festival we went to before leaving Japan: the Showa Kinen Park Fireworks Festival! (more…)

Hi Guys.

Hi guys,

First of all, I miss blogging. Secondly, I miss dating. (truly, in that order!)

But sometimes work life gets in the way of the fun things and you have to put your hobbies (writing, online shopping, manhunting) to the side and put your all into sheets and sheets of Excel. And other un-fun things.

You do get to steal away those few moments and few free nights away with your friends and even occasionally catch a sunset that reminds you that it’s all kind of worth it. Kind of.

So I leave you with a fantastic Venice sunset that I actually got to witness tonight. I hope you are all out taking every single possible advantage of summer. And my plea for actual dating stories remains unanswered – so please write me!

See you on the flip side,

Danvers Residents Proud Of Local Olympic Hockey Hero Meghan Duggan

DANVERS (WBZ-AM) -- After bringing back two silvers in the past two Winter Olympics, the U.S. Women's Hockey Team picked up the gold--which means a celebration in Danvers for a local hockey hero.

Meghan Duggan, the team's captain, is a Danvers native. There are signs in local business windows wishing her luck.

Locals tell WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Ben Parker there's no question she's the pride of the town.

"Yes she is, big time," said Cindy Nelson, who has lived in the town her entire life. "I'm looking forward to having her wave the flag on the fire engine."

Nelson said there's been a lot of buzz about Duggan and the games around town, and said she plans to be there when the medal comes home.

"They've celebrated every time she's come back from the Olympics, so this one's gonna be even better," she said.

Bob Nucci has lived in Danvers for 20 years, having moved there arount the last time the U.S. Women's team won gold.

He said this win is a testament to how great an athlete Duggan is, and that not a lot of people can say they have three Olympic medals.

"You should be proud of someone who's worked that hard," he said. "She's an exceptional athlete, and I think it's kinda neat to have a local person that's done so well."

Pat Vitali stayed up to watch the game. It was a close one, but he said he wasn't worried, and thought a gold was inevitable this time.

"We knew it would be a close game, but her being from Danvers, there's no second place allowed," he said.

Somerset Creamery – Somerset MA

2 09 2009

One thing that no one tells you when you get a new catalytic converter for your car is that you need to drive it for over a hundred miles and a bunch of starts before the computer resets and you can get a new inspection sticker. My impatience had been raging so I spun the dial and aimed toward Fall River. It was nearby that I scored a Cranberry Bog cone.

somerset creamery ice cream mass ma

After a first stop in Fall River found Kone Head closed since February, I drove a bit west and landed here at Somerset Creamery. Begun in 1937 by Victor Spanick, the store remains in the family, and the Cape Cod location in Cataumet is run by his grandson. Other than a lapse while Spanick served in World War II, the creamery has been constantly in the business of providing ice cream to South Coast residents.

While they used to have three locations in the area, including the Milk Can which was a building in the shape of a milk bottle, but now all that remains is this spot on Lee’s River right before the Swansea line on Rt 6. The building looks as though it has recently had a serious facelift, with a new clean shop put on the front of the old creamery where they still make the ice cream. While there are lines directing customers through the store, there’s no inside seating, but outside provides some great vistas to the river that runs from behind the store all the way to the ocean.

The clean interior and pervasive smell of waffle cones is very inviting, and makes all of the flavors in their shop seem worthy of a taste. With recipes over seventy years old, it’s a pretty safe bet that most of these offerings are tried and true. A sign on the door proclaims that they’ll be closing around Columbus Day, depending on when the ice cream supply dwindles. My biggest dilemma came when I realized that since it’s now September that the special flavor is Indian Pudding.

I sampled the Indian pudding and swooned, but realized that since I was down here needed to at least sample the flavor that is exclusive to this place. After I did, I realized I could have more Indian pudding elsewhere, but the cranberry bog was necessary. A cranberry ice cream with sweetened cranberry halves (not craisins!), walnuts and chocolate chunks, a simple taste of this was enough to know it was special. The flavors collided with each other, but none dominated, and the ice cream itself had very subtle flavors and hues that allowed everything hanging in the mix to bring a lot to the table.

As you can see, there’s not a cone in that picture. I didn’t drop it or anything, I just ran out of batteries. I even switched them out for my primary back-up pair, but despite a recent recharging, they couldn’t get the camera on at all. When the drippings started to cover my hand, I threw in the towel and just ate it, then dug through my car for my emergency pair of non-rechargeables and snapped this shot that I had so well framed until the power died. Close your eyes and you can imagine the cone right there.

Cone – small $3.10 medium $3.70 large $4.20

Sundae – kids $3.40 regular $5

Frappe $3.95 extra-thick $4.60

I wish you would carry kahlua chip on a regular basis rather than a special for a limited amount of time. Also your coffee chip flavor is good but the chocolate chips are too hard for the ice cream recommend a good quality flaked chocolate instead.

Thank you

Coming soon: Mobile ads that talk to you

MicrophoneIt may be April Fools’ Day, but Nuance says that ads talking back to you are nothing to laugh about. The 20-year-old software firm this morning announced an initiative that’s designed to create two-way conversations between consumers and mobile advertisements.

The Burlington, Mass.-based firm’s Voice Ads product seems to have a fairly simple execution. The promos—via text or audio—prompt mobile consumers to tap a microphone button in the ad unit and then speak to it. If they do, a brief marketing script begins that’s meant to engage the person in a dialogue and ultimately lead to a sale.

Currently, the format hasn’t been tested by brands. But a lot of big industry names have partnered with Nuance with the promise of getting clients on board, including agencies Leo Burnett, OMD and Digitas as well as mobile nets Millennial Media, Jumptap and Opera Mediaworks.

“Mobile advertising hasn’t worked well,” Peter Mahoney, Nuance cmo, told Adweek. “Engagement has been a challenge, and we think that’s where voice ads come in.”

While Mahoney hopes to generate traction among advertisers on streaming music services like Pandora, he said, “we see great opportunities for this product in other formats, such as digital TV and automotive [in-car] apps.”

Meanwhile, Brett Leary, Digitas vp of mobile, explained his agency’s interest in the product via a statement. “Compelling user experiences are critical to mobile advertising—you have only a few seconds to capture the interest of a demographic that is always on the go, multitasking, and seeking instant gratification,” he said.

Laura Schneider, mobile specialist for OMD, added, “Infusing voice as part of the ad experience gives us an entirely new landscape of creative assets and capabilities that will transform a brand’s ability to quite literally speak directly to their target audience.”

Here is a list of all the authors flashing this week, along with a brief snippet from their latest free work. Click the link after the snippet to be taken to the complete story on the author’s home page

Here Kitty, Kitty: Chapter 6.2 by Carol Pedroso

Meg insisted everyone call her grandma and by the time the kits woke up from their nap Simon was fully up to date.

Simon sighed. “So, we have a rogue witch to worry about. As well as hunters and maybe the vamp who changed me. Have I missed anyone?”

Kitryn shook his head while dishing up the kits’ food. “No, that sounds about right. We need to work out a plan. My group may be gone, but what if this witch targets other shifters or paranormals? And we need to make sure the hunters haven’t managed to track us at all.

The Sheriff #54 (13.2) by Julie Lynn Hayes

The ordeal was finally over. Jordan and his little friends were safely locked up where they couldn’t hurt anyone, particularly Dustin. Harlan had assured Roy that bail would be set high, once he made his report to the judge. With his accomplices already having rolled on their friend in order to reduce their own sentences, Jordan would be going away for quite some time.

They’d driven to the police department to see if Harlan needed them for anything. Jordan didn’t look quite so self-assured now. In fact, the pretty boy looked downright scared, as the reality of what he was facing hit him. He sat beside a deputy’s desk, handcuffed, while the deputy typed up arrest papers. As Dustin and Roy walked past, on the way to Harlan’s office, Jordan cleared his throat, as if he had something to say to Dustin.

“Hey, Dusty…”

Slapout: Chapter 05 by Jon Keys
Alec took another sip of the ice cold beer in his hand. He enjoy the wonderful deck and its miles of shade cloth. Gage and Ben spent an entire summer building it and lacing the sailcloth across the sturdy frame. When Alec arrived he’d located one of the thickly cushioned patio chairs and sprawled across it.
Gage waved the enormous set of tongs he used to arrange the coals toward Alec. “How’s the beer? We got it earlier when summer when we spent the weekend in Amarillo.”
Alec swallowed before lifting the bottle in his direction. “It’s damn good beer. I could get to like that.”

An Offer I Can’t Refuse by Michael Mandrake
Much to my dismay, I had become one of those humans. I’d gotten used to the way things were done. Vampire rule was crafty and well, even if it did seem like more of a dictatorship, the world seemed to thrive on the bloodsucker’s domination. Although vampires could be just as greedy as humans, all the rulers seemed to get along a lot better than their human predecessors. There were still some humans in lower positions in the governments to negotiate with the people, but the vampires held high rank.

Denied: Chapter Twenty-one by Cia Nordwell

“Someone attracted the flame wasps to the crew with pheromones? How did someone get a queen’s scent?”

Aparoe shook their head, studying the screen in their hand. “This isn’t an attractant. The scent isn’t even flame wasp pheromones; they’re twisps.”

“What are twisps?”

“Stick-like figures that migrate in swarms. They consume organic material then move on, leaving behind barren paths behind them. Nothing can stand against them because they don’t seem to have any higher functions. They just… consume. They don’t even leave waste behind; anything they consume is emitted through vents on their backs. That is carried on the

Raspberry Sour Cream Crumble Bite

DSCF5669 (640x480)

These are my version of ‘Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake’ from Baked in America. by David Muniz + David Lesniak (the link is to amazon.uk’s this book’s page)

I was surprised to know that people call those cakes ‘coffee cake’ in USA, even there is no coffee in it.
Here, in Belfast, it will be perhaps called a ‘tray-bake’ (and maybe ‘square’ ‘slice’ ‘bite’ ) or just simply a ‘little cake’. As I wrote in Rice Crispy Square, we love tray-bake here, and anything baked in a tray can be tray-bake.

When I tried the original recipe first, somehow, there was a pool of butter on top among crumble mix while it was baking. The result was very buttery, short crumble coating on top of cake.

However, I prefer to cut down a bit of butter, so I reduced the butter ratio, to make it more like usual crumble. It hold crumbly shape better and I like it this way.

Blue berry was nice, but I just didn’t have a packet at home the other day. I had frozen raspberry, so I used it instead. It worked well.

(Aug 2013)

Rice Crispy Square – Tray Bake

Tray bakes are so popular in Northern Ireland, either in coffee shops or at home. Tray bake recipes varies from a simple no-bake, melt and mix choco type (such as rocky road or fifteens) to biscuits base one (like caramel short bread) to little cake squares. Anything made  in a tray (except fifteens, which is concerned as tray-bake, but just rolled like a log and cut) and cut is tray-bake.

This is no-bake, simple tray bake, but very popular among my family and friends. It’s Mars bar rice crispy with fair-trade milk chocolate on top. There is so many rice crispy recipe on line, but I think Mars bar one is nicer than just chocolate. And it is important not to use cooking chocolate to cover the top. Use good quality milk chocolate, over 30% cocoa one. Then the rice crispy bars become good not only for kids but also for grown-ups. (I think.)

A good thing about tray bake is that it can feed so many people with little effort and time. I made so many tray bakes since I moved here. Sometime, I will make up a few of different types for a coffee morning or for school events.

This was selection of THANK YOU, TEACHER! tray-bakes for my 5 year old son’s teachers I made in the end of June 2013. He goes to a special need school and has lots of people around him who I want to thank at the end of year. So, instead of giving each teacher a box of chocolate or flower, I made up big batch of tray-bakes or little cakes for their stuff room.

The selection this year was, tray-bakes (rice crispy, rocky road, lemon drizzle cake), mini berry tart and mini  éclair.

Fiscal Localism on Rise Worldwide

Spain town reintroduces peseta to boost economy
BBC News, Madrid

A small town in northern Spain has decided to reintroduce the old Spanish currency – the peseta – alongside the euro to give the local economy a lift.
Shopkeepers in Mugardos want anyone with forgotten stashes of the old cash at home to come and spend it…
More than 60 shops in Mugardos, a small fishing town in Galicia on Spain’s northern coast, are accepting the peseta again for all purchases, alongside the euro.
It is an attempt to get cash registers ringing – and help lift the town out of a long and painful economic slump.
Shopkeepers were sceptical at first, but they now say the scheme is a great success.

Currency bill backers want alternative to ‘paper dollar’
The Salt Lake Tribune

Larry Hilton, a local attorney and supporter of the “sound money movement,” said that “un-backed money” created by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy, is “hanging over us like the sword of Damocles waiting to just come down in an avalanche and destroy the value of our currency.”
While the bill says the use of gold and silver coin as currency would be voluntary, it requires the Legislature to study the “possibility of establishing an alternative form of legal tender,” and to come up with further recommendations for the 2012 session.

Fiscal Localism On Rise In Germany
National Public Radio

The Havelbluete, the Augusta and the Chiemgauer might sound like the names of locally brewed beers, but they are in fact micro-currencies which, like micro-breweries, are in abundance in Germany. There are more than two dozen local currencies in circulation, and 40 or so initiatives are about to start printing their own banknotes. These notes are not gimmicks….

Germans take pride in local money
BBC News/Magdeburg, Germany

The next time you venture out for lunch in Magdeburg, check what kind of loose change you have in your wallet.

The local banknotes are issued at a rate of 1:1 to the euro

Like any other city in Germany, the normal currency here is the euro. But bizarrely, they also have another currency in circulation: the Urstromtaler.

Before you doubt its existence, it is not “Monopoly” money – it is very real. At a jewellery shop in the city centre, Gerfried Kliems explained how people use the regional currency.

“It’s quite simple,” he said. “The money you spend stays in the region. When I accept Urstromtaler in my shop, I then have to see how I can spend the local banknotes. You get to know everyone who’s participating in this project, and at the end of the day, you have a good feeling about life.”

More than 200 businesses are using the regional currency, including shops, bakeries, florists, restaurants. There is even a cinema which accepts Urstromtaler.

Germany’s Local CurrenciesEconomic Cure or Fool’s Gold?

Der Spiegel

How many currencies does Germany have? More than one, it turns out. In an effort to boost their local economies, 22 regions in the country have introduced their own alternative tender — but are they worth the paper they’re printed on?

At some point in the spring of 2004, the money ran out in the village of Güsen in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt. At least, Frank Jansky wasn’t receiving any. “People couldn’t pay their bills anymore,” says Jansky, who runs a lawyer’s office in Güsen, where he represents mainly tradesmen and small construction firms.

Around that time, Jansky heard about regional currencies and thought: “That’s it.” His idea: Instead of using euros, eastern Germany’s increasingly pauperized population ought to be able to pay in goods and services. The regional currency would be known as the “Urstromtaler” (the name is a play on words, combining “Urstromtal,” the name of a Saxony-Anhalt valley, with “taler,” the name of an old German currency — which incidentally also inspired the name “dollar”).

Struggling US towns print their own currency
If you’re fresh out of dollars, perhaps a Detroit Cheer, Bay Back or BerkShare will do.
Daily Telegraph/New York

Communities across America are bypassing the dollar and creating their own currencies in an attempt to help both consumers and businesses struggling in the recession.
The idea, borrowed from the Depression era when the currencies were known as “scrip”, is designed to boost local spending and keep money circulating within the community.
Typically, a group of businesses print a new currency which shoppers can then buy at a discount – typically one dollar will cost 90 to 95 cents – and spend at full value with participating companies.

Some of the currencies have been around for years but the recent economic downturn has encouraged others to follow suit. According to some estimates, there are now more than 75 local currency systems across the country.

Others include the Ithaca Hours in upstate New York and the Plenty in North Carolina.

Under US law, small communities can produce their own currency so long as it does not include coins and does not resemble federally-issued money.

The currencies are not a tax dodge as the income to participating businesses is liable to tax…

Americans are not alone in creating their own currencies to cope with the credit crunch. Lewes, the famously independent-minded county town of East Sussex, created its own pound last year. There are now 31,000 Lewes pounds in circulation and more than 130 traders accepting them.

In the German city of Magdeburg, more than 200 businesses accept the Urstromtaler, one of an estimated 16 regional currencies in the country.

From Stalwart To Skeptic, Germany Rethinks EU Role

National Public Radio

The financial calamity of the European Union’s sovereign debt woes has shaken the pillars of the postwar ideal of a united Europe. The debt crisis and the global downturn have left many European countries looking inward these days and viewing Brussels as increasingly irrelevant.

Germany, long a postwar champion and financier of European integration, is flexing its muscles more independently. And more of its citizens are questioning the country’s leading role in the European project.

On a recent day, Christian Gelleri buys a sandwich and a glass of Hefeweizen at a rustic, sun-filled outdoor beer garden along the Inn River in the Upper Bavarian town of Stefanskirchen.

But the 40-year-old isn’t paying with euros. The bar also accepts chiemgauer, the thriving local currency named after a region in Bavaria.

A Euro Substitute?

The alternative currency is not some gimmicky fundraiser. It may look a little like Monopoly money, but the chiemgauer is real. One chiemgauer equals one euro. It’s been around for eight years, almost as long as the euro, the common currency now used by 16 of the 27 EU members.

Gelleri, a high school teacher who established the chiemgauer, is proud that more than 600 regional businesses — from drugstores to architects — now  accept the microcurrency.

“The chiemgauer is connected to the region. You can’t speculate with it, you can’t buy stocks or options or shares with it,” he says.

In other words, you can only spend it in the area. Organizers insist the currency is meant to promote a “buy local” mentality and is a complement to the euro. The chiemgauer is not backed by federal or local governments, though some banks are offering loans and checking accounts in the currency.

But the fact that there are more than two dozen regional currencies like this in Germany — the most anywhere in the world — underscores the German ambivalence toward the euro.

Adoption of the euro was supposed to lead to a deeper, more coherent fiscal and political union. But the single currency hasn’t really delivered on either.

And intended or not, the microcurrency trend plays into German nostalgia for the deutsche mark, the national currency that the euro replaced.

“The existence of the chiemgauer and some two dozen other regional currencies in Germany underscores the country’s ambivalence toward the euro.”

Systematic – 07:22GMT

Heaven-bent for suicide and lifted from a promissory life, I spent my passion undermining solitary refuge as a systematic impulse-follower.

She said to me, “listen son, I’ve gotta tell you something you may not wanna hear. I ate that last piece of taffy you had saved up, and it was glorious. I know you were planning to give it to your grandma next week, but guess what? Now we’re even. Don’t you go around promising me trips to Hawaii anymore, you arrogant prick. Just because I birthed you doesn’t mean I need to be your friend. Fuck those stereotypes. Now are you staying for dinner or aren’t you?”

Is that all I am? A systematic impulse-follower? I can paint over my stripes, but it’ll chip off and reveal my ugly nature before too long.

I miss having the option to chew my food.
I really wish I could use my arms, too. Fork, knife, the whole deal.
Maybe I crossed too many people to be a free man.

What I Found: Old Navy Fair Isle Cardigan

Do you ever have clothing items (or maybe home decor items, or insert-anything-you-can-buy-here thing) that you see, and you think, “Wow, that’s cute, but I’m going to wait for a better sale,” or “I love that, but I don’t need it, so I’m just going to sleep on it.”

No, don’t ever sleep on it. Buy it now, then let it sit in your closet with the tags on until you make your final decision.

I’ve learned this lesson so many times. There’s a faux fur vest that my mom talked me out of when I was in high school that I will still reference to her as something I wish I had. Since I know my mom will read this, I’ll ask her: Mom, were your exact words, “Faux fur vests will never stay in style”? And my next question: Mom, what is in style EVERY SINGLE YEAR? Faux fur vests. That vest — which was from Gap — will forever be the one that got away.

A couple years ago, the item I wanted but didn’t buy was the military green vest. I saw it at Old Navy, but didn’t act on it, and then basically every fashion blogger I follow was wearing it (or a more expensive version) and when I finally decided I better buy it, it was gone. Thankfully Old Navy came out with it again last spring, so I bought it immediately and have probably worn it more than almost anything else I own. Crisis averted!

Since late October or early November, I’ve been getting daily emails from Old Navy about their sales and promotions. Almost every email contains a model wearing this super cute black and white open-front fair isle cardigan. The actual model keeps changing, but the sweater is always the same. It’s in some of their holiday commercials too. Look how fun this model is having while wearing my sweater? I should be having that much fun.

Anyway, I loved it, but I knew I didn’t really need it. Plus, it was never as cheap as I wanted or needed it to be.

I got an email from Old Navy sometime last week or the week before about a mega awesome deal on sweaters. The model in the email was of course wearing my sweater, so I decided now was the time to jump. A few of my favorite bloggers were wearing it too, which started to worry me. I clicked the exact picture with the model wearing my sweater, hoping it would take me directly to the sweater online, but the sweater was nowhere to be found. Well, it was on their models all over the site, but it wasn’t available to purchase. I was so sad! I visited my favorite Old Navy brick and mortar store, with no luck.

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping this morning at my nearest outlet mall and decided to swing into the Old Navy, mostly to try on a totally different sweater. Anyway, as I was making my way to the dressing room, lo and behold, there was my open-front sweater! And they had two in my size! I grabbed the one that looked to be in the best shape and took it with me to the dressing room…and then eventually to the checkout line. I’m so in love with it and so glad I found it. Might have to be a contender for Christmas. Doesn’t this model look Christmas-appropriate?

I have a few open-front cardigans that I love, but I prefer to wear them how the model here is wearing them: pulled closed and cinched in at the waist with a thin belt.

FAITH: Hard to Have When You Don’t Really Know What it Means!

Sure. Thanks. You too. Whatever.

We’ve all heard it, and most of us have said it when other words of support and comfort have eluded us. Have faith. When things are so spectacularly crappy, it really feels like lip service, doesn’t it? It’s a phrase intended to encourage and soothe, but in reality it has lost some of its magic in the cloud of cliché.

What the heck is faith anyway? An answer without a side of dogma would be nice, right? Like, what is the concept of faith when you detach it from an association with a higher spiritual power or religion? Is it still a thing? Or does it get subsumed by similar personal concepts like aspirations, opinions and perspective?

Faith outside of spirituality is very much a thing! Exploring the concept of faith in this manner, I hope, will take it out of the realm of cliché for you, and put you back in touch with what it really means.

Having faith is something you do every day, even in the smallest of choices. You have faith when you load the dishwasher and expect clean dishes. You have faith when you try a new recipe or go on a date. (First date! HUGE faith there!) Folks at the blackjack table have faith, and so do people saying their wedding vows.

Yeah, and?

Faith, very simply, is a belief in possibility. It’s knowing that in regards to a situation or choice that may not be 100% within your control, there is the possibility of a favorable outcome. We know that everything is possible even by slim margins, thanks to the dry bones of probability and statistics, so why is faith so hard to have? (Really. Please answer that for yourself and sort it out.)

You have faith that the dishwasher won’t reward you with a cascade of rampant suds. You have faith that the new recipe will be edible. Good grief, we walk down the wedding aisle with faith in happily ever after. Every single choice, every risk, from large to small, that you have made or will ever make, has all required belief in possibility.

Every single breakthrough in science has begun with the belief that there was the possibility of something more, or something that could not be seen. Our most prestigious accomplishments and most concrete scientific truths began as an exercise of faith.

Faith is not an emotional extractive of our decision making process. It IS our decision making process.

When having faith seems just too, too much to ask, daydream about possibilities instead. It’s foolproof faith, because everything is possible.

As always, you take my love, blessings, and wishes for well-being wherever you go! Keep in touch on FaceBook @highpriestessbrooke and if you dig my insight, hit me up for a Holistic Tarot reading at

MAGICKAL MOONSTONE: Definitely Not Made of Green Cheese!

Luminous. Pearly. Iridescent. All these lovely words accurately describe the gorgeous, seemingly mysterious, gem of moonstone.

Since my last post went deep into Cancer territory, I thought it would be helpful to follow up with some information that might prove to be a useful elixir while you heal the wounds uncovered by yesterday’s new moon. (The effects of which may unfold over the next week, so be nice to yourself.) Moonstone is the flavor of the day today, and it’s definitely not green cheese!

A piece of moonstone is practically the last word in gems or minerals that represent the female aspect of duality; it is directly linked to the Goddess. Ruled by water, it resonates with the zodiac signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. You do not need to be born under one of these houses in order to benefit from its properties! Carry it during these astrological aspects, or at any time you feel drawn to the characteristics of water.

Moonstone’s name is no accident, either. It is associated with our moon, and thereby represents the aspects that go with it. Intuition, psychism, fertility, nurturing, emotional and physical healing are all within moonstone’s capabilities.

Moonstone is also a highly protective substance, particularly in regards to emotional manipulation, dishonesty, theft, and deceit. Just as the moon’s rays shed light on secrets that would prefer to stay hidden, moonstone amplifies “woman’s intuition” and can give you advance notice of someone’s less-than-honorable intentions or uncover guilt, especially when coupled with garnet. In addition, I know of several Wiccans who wear it for alertness and safety during travel, and to keep remote tabs on the safety of loved ones.

Moonstone is an emotional equalizer. Just as water always finds equilibrium, moonstone can help promote balance during times of spiritual stress. This is of tremendous value while you grow and change as your wounds heal. A bit of moonstone in your pocket to use as a worry stone, or even better, mounted in silver and worn as a necklace (preferably long enough to lay over your heart,) can keep your feelings in balance so that you do not lose sight of your healing journey.

It promotes spiritual growth, restful sleep, and invites you to have healing, useful dreams. It also strengthens psychic perception, and promotes reflection and contemplation.

A note of caution: Be prepared for the effects of moonstone if you’re an empath or a sensitive, especially for 3 days on either side of a full moon. Those silvery rays of enlightenment may look watery and gentle, but they are powerful enough to wear down the mightiest of fortifications if left uncontrolled. Make sure you actually want to know the truth before you tip headlong into her waters. Her calm tact will not shield you from things you preferred to be unaware of!

As always, my blessings, love, and luck travel with you. Keep in touch on FaceBook or if you’d like a glimpse at your future beyond the scope brought by moonstone, book a Holistic Tarot reading via phone or skype at
Rev. Brooke
