Work is Love Made Visible -Anon

I recently gave a presentation for my Leads Group on how I became interested in becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist. Here is a small part of my story:

My father is Italian, my mother is Swedish, they met in Greece, and when my brother was a year old, they emigrated to America. While I was born in Washington DC and lived in

It's 09/09/09 and spam texts (spexts?) about what a lucky day you will have by forwarding this message. "Luck is being prepared for opportunity when it comes" is what springs to mind, this Moon in Taurus & Mercury Retrograde Tuesday.

I started the day around 6:30 am posting on Twitter that now was a good time to re-assess all you value most. Health, time,

Orgasms Written in the Stars

Published in Quotes, Astrology by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Brezsney's Libra horoscope for this week:

The Madonna of Orgasm Church is a Swedish institution. Its leader claims that the sect is not obsessed with sex, nor are orgies included in the regular worship services. Rather, deifying the orgasm is a symbol for cultivating a lust for life. Making love is just one of many ways to experience peak states and

Hold Me

Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Hold me, hold me,
never let me go…
Hold me like the leaves
at the end of the branches

And when I die,
Let me fly, let me fly-
Fly like the leaves
from the trees
when they’re falling…

Hold me, hold me,
never let me go…
Hold me like the stars
up above when they’re shining…

And when I die,
Let me fly, let me fly-
Fly like the stars
from the sky

Letter from Joanna Macy

October 27, 2008

Dear People,

Well, it's happened. The financial meltdown so long predicted has begun for real. Even if we knew it had to happen, it's scary. Stock markets crashing, foreclosures skyrocketing, the biggest banks going belly up, jobs disappearing. With so much suffering for so many, and more losses foretold, it's hard not to feel the panic.

Create New Visions

Published in Reflections, Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Life is a continual process of letting go...
and moving forward... letting go... and moving forward...
For there are times when our souls are set on fire, & deeply cherished dreams must die...
and we are forced, once again, to
CREATE NEW VISIONS
to weave new tapestries from the fragments of the old...
Yet these new visions, born from the fire of wisdom at

Today's Tarot Card : Projections

In a cinema hall, you look at the screen, you never look at the back--the projector is at the back. The film is not there really on the screen; it is just a projection of shadow and light. The film exists just at the back, but you never look at that. And the projector is there. Your mind is at the back of the whole

Thoughts on Trust
Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

We take so much of the universe on trust. You tell me; “In 1950 I lived on the north side of Beacon Street in Somerville.” You tell me; “She and I were lovers, but for months now we have only been good friends.” You tell me: "It is seventy degrees outside and the sun is shining.” Because I love you, because there is not even a question of lying between us,

On Friendship
Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."
Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you

Soul Mates
Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change you life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and

Thoughts on Practice

I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of

Not Your Mother's Broomstick
Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (2)

For me, Pagan spirituality and a sex-positive philosophy are not different; they flow together like yin and yang, providing a support that helps me view the world. Together, they give me a lens with which to view the world, a belief system, a set of ethics, and a finely-tuned language. Within Paganism there is room for honoring all kinds of sexual

I found this poem To Realize on my friend Emma's blog, JubileeFarms, and had to repost it here:

life in the circus ain't easy
but the folks on the outside don't know
the tent goes up and the tent comes down
and all that they see is the show
and the ladies on the horses look so pretty
and the lions are lookin real mad
and some of the clowns are happy
and some of the clowns are sad

but underneath
there's another expression
that the makeup isn't making
