There has been much discussion through my circle of friends about the full moon earlier this week and the strange occurrences they attribute to it. Many of my friends are very interested in astrology. They always know which sign the moon is in and what it is supposed to mean. I don’t follow astrology myself,…
Size Matters
The size of your ego matters. The size of your heart matters. The imprint you leave on this world is made up of those two things. Your inheritance of free will allows you to create your own imprint. Will it be dark or will it be light? Size matters.
The Present Moment

Frequency Speaking
The Kybalion: “The lips of Wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding.” Most of those in my circle get a glossy-eyed look when I say something that has deep, spiritual meaning to me.
