Happy Imbolc!

Imbolc is one of my favorite holy days. It is one of the four cross-quarter holidays, which mark the half-way points between solstice and equinox.

I love Imbolc the most, because it’s when the plants start to return above ground. And boy, it hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday, as it does every year, how much I miss my green friends. And I am grateful for any reason to celebrate their return!

Helping out Haiti

Due to the tragic situation in Haiti, I will be donating 100% of the money I receive from sales of my 2010 calendar, between now and the end of January. Open up your heart and your wallet for Haiti, and get a great astrological calendar in the process!

I think I have the flu. Maybe the Swine Flu? I am not sure.

John got it first. Thanksgiving morning, he woke up with a headache, cold sweat, and very strange noises coming from his guts. Does this sound like the flu to you? It does to me.
