My long time passion has been studying and reading hands. Palmistry has shown me over and over how each and every one of us is unique and special!!

Hands have many stories to tell. Often as I'm reading I get caught up in the story, the journey, as I move through the pages of one's life. I am so grateful for the many, many people from around the world who have opened their hands to me.

I am awed by the creative expressions from our hearts, souls and minds and the desire in many of us to leave some part of our selves on this earth that says "I am" and "I was here".
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
It is powerful medicine to feel and cry for each other. I've been blessed to have numerous experiences of tears for others these past few months. - It is deep, profound healing to love like this. It's been hard but the beauty of it is, healing flows both ways. To keep from loving because of something that might happen in the future is crazy. Just like holding back your affection because of something that happened in the past is a profound waste. There are no real threats or loss in true love.
Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed. - May Sarton
I was pretty busy this last week, enjoyed a Heart concert with daughter and had fun reminiscing my younger days and adventures! lol What's really cool is sharing those days renewed with a vivacious and energetic teenager! Check out my blog link for some Awesome HD Heart videos from the concert! Maybe I'll get some baking done this coming week - and surprise you with a recipe!
Much love to you! Hug You!! Monika -
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. - C.S. Lewis
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." -- Think Different, Apple Computers Advertisement
Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide. Reason should direct and appetite obeys.
A friend is, as it were, a second self. The shifts of Fortune test the reliability of friends. ~ Cicero
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abort of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness. ~ Seneca

Hi Patti,
Hope this finds you well. Have a wonderful week ahead! Health, Peace and Happiness! Peace, Love, Great and Light! God bless you and be with you!
It’s amazing to uncover that you can spend an entire lifetime and never know yourself at all, but rather only know a perception of yourself. A projected self image (ego) which virtually has nothing to do with who and what you are. Likewise people pass in and out of our lives every day. We talk to them, we eat lunch with them, we go to work with them and most of what we know and think about them are merely thoughts and perceptions. “They are like that”, “she is this way,” “He’s a republican,” “She’s a liberal.” Label after label, we cast them upon those around us and remain blind to the very people before our eyes. In turn, almost everyone else is also walking around with perceptions of themselves and with perceptions about you and I, that are nothing more than fiction. It’s like we’re all in virtual bumper cars bouncing off each other without ever truly making contact. The endless stream of labels and perceptions we cast upon each other, perpetually keeps us immersed in a world of delusion in regards to our relationship with the universe around us and to the common bond we all share.
The next time you find yourself at odds with somebody, try and squelch the little label maker in your mind and just see the person as they are. In silence we can uncover: that the differences just don't exist. They were never really there to begin with. Our thoughts and perceptions are made of nothing. They have no substance at all other than the life we breathe into them. If you look long enough at those around you and let the labels fall away back into the nothingness from which they came, eventually you may find yourself here in this moment, looking straight back upon yourself through their eyes.
As we learn to listen and watch without labeling one another, our common thread shines through and through. Sending you love and wishing you a beautiful weekend. ~R~
