Hello my Starchildren!
I would first like to share with you that soon after my final final yesterday I went downtown to several shops who I thought might be willing to retail my cards and got contact information. (NO wasted time here!) Today I had a meeting with two of them. One, who owns a small shop, said to try back next month because he was going out of town and wasn't buying anything at this moment...but he would...The other, a husband and wife team, who I realized I had met at a party at my old roommate's (a fellow Michelle![mich-ellow?]-pardon the association-at least it's free!)
ANYWAY---I met them several years ago, (in Eugene there are only about 2 degrees of separation) and they BOUGHT 5 SETS WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE!!! WOOHOO! I hope I did not look too surprised, since I am trying to act all professional and all, but---I did not expect them to buy 5! So on that note, I would like to plug LETTER HEAD on 8th ave. in Eugene, as folks with really great taste...(it really is a sweet boutique, and I am proud to have my work represented there!)
Astrologically, it looks like we need to rest and recreate with friends and family Saturday to get ready for a powerful and challenging week ahead! This week, Jupiter in Scorpio is squaring Saturn in Leo. This is a very strong aspect, and Vesta and Mars thrown in the mix are really messing with the bottom line! Is it time to buckle down? Have you been creating the abundance that you want in your life? Are there things you would change if you could? YOU CAN! It might just not be overnight...unless you see it from the Universe's perspective, that it is all happening in the blink of an eye!!!
Today I got a message from my bestest gal pal ever, and it was about perspective, rich vs poor,where a rich,city-dwelling,father takes his son to a farm to see "how the other half lives", and the son sees the farmers as the rich ones "we have one dog, they have four, we have a pool into the middle of our yard, they have an endless stream..." etc...It IS how you view things that makes you feel rich or poor.
Coincidently(...LOL-or is it...) I came across this passage from the Tao Te Ching today as well...
Chapter 11...when Doris gets her oats...(oh, wrong one)...try this:
We put thirty spokes together and call it a wheel,
But it is the space where there is nothing that the utility of the wheel depends.
We turn clay to make a vessel,
But it is on the space where there is nothing that the utility of the vessel depends.
We pierce doors and windows to make a house,
And it is on these spaces where there is nothing that the utility of the house depends.
Therefore, just as we take advantage of what is,
We should recognize the utility of what is not.
Lao Tse
What more could I say...Think on that till next time!
