I do not see what is so controversial about Obama's speech to encourage kids to stay in school and work. Asking them for input is a good idea to me. People are so inflammatory -its ridiculous.
As for the "trigger"- if the insurance companies don't lower the prices, the public option becomes real, I think its great. We need that. I am unclear how issuing fines on the public for lack of insurance helps. Insurance is needed for everyone regardless of circumstances. Our country and the world needs to learn compassion and humanity. This issue is hopefully building integrity for some of the health care CEO's. We will see.

I have heard of many ways of changing your personal energy vibration, from praying, meditating, changing diet to vegetarian, etc. I can attest two of the practices. Meditation has caused me to lose some of my prior interests/inclinations/bad habits. One day I just couldn't eat ham. Period. I never looked back.
I did not realize crystals would impact me so much. If this is true, I recommend all my Indigo/Crystal readers/clients/followers get as many as you can, as large as you can. I now no longer crave a number of my prior bad food preferences. I am so happy as I struggled to stop myself for awhile with these two issues. Please try it and let me know what works for you.

I finally purchased these cards after hearing all the acclaim. I now understand why people rave for them. The colors are vibrant. Isha and Mark Lerner did a brilliant job discussing how a child grows up using the Fools journey through the Major Arcana. All the major fairy tales are covered and the interpretations make sense. The readings seem to be spot on. For example, the fool is Little Red Riding Hood. The High Priestess is The fairy Godmother. The Empress is Mother Goose. And so on.
    The added complexity of having to remember the moral of the fable and then the meaning of each tarot card makes this deck a bit challenging. Child, Seeker, Guide and Guardian replace the Page, Knight, Queen and King. Suits are Magic Wands (fairies or old wands), winged hearts, (mermaids) or old cups, Swords- (children on adventure), and Crystals, (Gnomes). Per Lerner, Wands represent intuition, creativity, all that is magical in Nature. Swords represent truth, valor and ability to cut through illusion. Winged hearts represent love, emotion, dreams, the feminine and qualities of the moon. Mermaids serves as guardians and protectors of love, human and divine. Earth crystals correspond to pentacles, money or security. The different cards offer perspective on how to manifest abundance.
    Archangels are featured in this deck too. Lord Raphael is Guardian of Wands- you are blessed by presence of divine healing. Lord Michael is Guardian of Swords-you are weary and he is saying walk with humility, love, confidence, heart of gold and noble intentions. Lord Gabrielle is Guardian of Hearts- telling you of your spiritual rebirth and to be compassionate to the downtrodden. Build a bridge of trust to others around you. Guardian of Crystals is Gaia-be thankful of your gifts. Help Mother Earth. Treasure your friendships and thank those who raised you. Here I was surprised she didn't pick Archangel Uriel as he is concerned about the very same issue and is one of the four most mentioned archangels.
    I want to say more and put off writing this entry trying to find the right words to capture the love and power of these cards. I still don't think I am doing it justice. Simply put, you must go to a shop and see them for yourself. They are beautiful and look like crayon drawings done by a passionate, life loving artist.

The CA fire situation calls for prayer, visualization, conscious co-creating what we want. Peace, safety and rain to cool and quench the situation. For those already doing their part, congrats. For those, who needed gentle reminding about the power of their thoughts, please focus on our desired outcome.
