The Star Fairy
I love how we share the good things in every day here, and how focusing on the positive makes us all feel better. Nothing like appreciating the wonderful things right around us!
Today I am also enjoying anticipating good things to come, both things that seem pretty certain, and other things that are just dreams at this point. I find when I can look forward to them happily and not worry about the details of how they might happen, it feels great. And on this cloudy February day, I’m doing just that. Some are longer term: I’m dreaming of summer travel and seeing old friends. I’m imagining how wonderfully helpful the alternative treatments we are doing will be for my son, enhancing his life, abilities, and comfort. Some are short term: I”m anticipating a visit from an old friend today who I haven’t seen in a decade, and meeting her son who is the same age as DS. And I’m anticipating my first meeting with some other women in an art and magic group tomorrow night! These thoughts fill me with joy!
There is also something we can see in the night sky that we can work with in anticipating our dreams. On a clear early evening look to the west and you will see two very bright “stars” which are actually planets. The brighter one, lower in the west, is Venus, and above her, more to the east is Jupiter. They are the first to appear as the sky gets dark (and then the bright star Sirius, which is much further east). Over the next couple weeks, they will be getting closer and closer until they meet on March 13/14. This is fun to watch because it is beautiful! Astrologically, it is also a joyful conjunction. Venus is the planet of love, attraction, beauty, sensual pleasure, and wealth. Jupiter is all about expansion, optimism, travel, learning, luck and growth. I invite you, as these two come together, to anticipate goodness coming to you, and to entertain the possibility that the Universe will bring it to you as they draw together. Employ Jupiter’s gift of optimism and openness to growth, and Venus’s gift of honoring what gives you pleasure, and anticipate something(s) wonderful! Keep it secret or share here if/when it feels right. I wish you all a dream come true!
My everday magic today:
ginger-honey-lemon tea! So yummy, and I know it will help this cold pass quickly!
the wonderful body worker (Anat Baniel Method) who has been working with my son, and the increase in calmness and comfort he seems to feel after each session!
my amaryllis is blooming! Two huge red blooms, so perfectly open and radiant… love them!
orchids and azalea and the one whose name I forget are also still blooming!
yesterday we saw crocuses blooming outside! This is unheard of for this area in Feb. Despite the strange weather, I find joy in the signs of spring.
our playful puppy dog!
watching Dr. Who with DH, and delighting in the plot twists
listening to an audiobook of the Hobbit adapted as a sort of audio play… so fun!
sweet, snuggly kitties
