Skye’s Looking Up
Good Morning,
I had originally planned to rerun an article that I wrote last year about New Year’s
Resolutions called Year-
Oh and yes, my little one really loved Christmas. He tried to convince me on Sunday
that we needed to do it all again today! My teens both said repeatedly that this
was one of their all-
Hope you all enjoyed 2004 and that you find what you’re looking for in 2005.
Take care,

January 2005 Astrology Forecasts
The horoscopes went up last week and are rather bleak. I hate to tell you that everything is all milk and honey when it isn’t really going to be that way. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It’s my intent to give you a head’s up so that you can protect yourselves from as much negativity as possible. We also left the December forecasts up, but they were lowered to the bottom of the page.
Professionalism is an umbrella term used to describe many different aspects of business conduct. Customer service, work ethics, and business integrity are often grouped together with professionalism and it’s all mixed up in people’s minds as one big concept. Each of these are actually very different aspects and have nothing to do with professionalism. Just like fondness, friendship, and lust are all lumped under the word ‘love.’ In truth they are not exactly the same as ‘love’ but when we think of saying “I love you” many of those ideas cross our mind. When in fact love is something completely different but very similar to those other things. Such is the case with the word ‘professionalism.’
Feature Article of the Week:
Today, I am seeing the planet as a physical item spinning in space rather then as the conglomerate energies of all of it’s inhabitants. We ride on this big blue rock year after year around and around it’s sun. Is it no wonder that some of mankind’s first gods were the sun and the actual vehicle we ride around on itself. Every time I’ve tried to think about what it is I’m supposed to tell you today in reference to New Year’s Resolutions, I just keep seeing this stupid arrogant cowboy riding around on a planet as if it’s a bucking bronco and thinking that he’s got any control whatsoever as to where she’s taking him. Yeah, he can destroy her, but she won’t ever let him choose the route they take as they fly through the cosmos together. New Year’s Eve celebrations aren’t about something so arbitrary as the fact that I’m going to hang a new calendar on the wall. It means that like a bronco rider, we have managed not to fall off and have ridden her around the sun one more time.
We have worshipped the sun for its warmth and the life force that its light provides us. We have worshipped the moon from respect of her ability to move the tides and for somewhat controlling the cycles of reproduction. We have worshipped volcanoes for fear of upsetting them. We have worshipped rain, lakes, rivers, and oceans for the water and fertile lands they help us to harvest. We have worshipped the planet itself as Mother Nature in hopes that she would be gentle and kind to us. We have worshipped the stars and the heavens. We have worshipped each other and we have worshipped mysterious unknown entities that we pray will watch over us. It’s always been mankind’s inability to control the planet and the cosmos that leads us to praying to anything and everything to please be kind and don’t let anything erupt, storm, flood, shake and rumble, drought, or in any way cause pain or famine to ourselves or those we like and care about.
As a child, I never could pray hard enough to make it snow so that school would be canceled the next day. I grew up within ash dumping distance of Mt Saint Helens and I can remember when she blew. I prayed like every frightened child in history has ever prayed that a volcano would spare them. I prayed to her and I prayed to God. She blew anyway. I don’t think we can pray the planet into doing or not doing anything whatsoever. Science can help us to understand when and why these things happen, but we will never control them with our thoughts.
Most people are unaware of the paranormal studies that show man’s ability to control his experiences of life with his mind. They are unaware and untrained. They are not on the same track with each other, all holding one common vision. With so many different minds and hearts all with different goals, motivations, and levels of understanding… at best the planet would be in utter chaos. So it’s really in our best interest that we not be allowed to boss her around. Perhaps that’s the gift of protection that all of our centuries of prayers have afforded us. Most would be better served to pray for the strength to survive what needs survived and the wisdom to know when to leave well enough alone.
In my youth, New Year’s Eve celebrations were a cause for confetti and champagne. A party for the simple sake of tradition looking for kisses at the stroke of midnight while good friends laughed and toasted each other to bless each other on their merry way into the next calendar year. May you all prosper in money, love, and health!
Today, I see New Year’s Eve as the celebration that we have survived another year on a horse that has been ridden hard and put away wet. We don’t take care of her and she is constantly having to readjust herself to our arrogance and greed. I celebrate her that she still takes such good care of us. She still feeds us and gives us air to breathe despite our foolish ways. I celebrate mankind and the fact that we have managed not to blow up the planet and ourselves yet. I celebrate that people still come to other people’s aid and that whenever evil shows itself, someone stands up in the name of good and does their best to bring things back into balance. Today, I celebrate the ride itself. Ah yes, sign me up for another trip around the sun! This time I promise to be a kinder gentle passenger.
